Caelum Vatnsdal is an award-winning writer and filmmaker, and a frequent culture commentator for CBC Radio. His book Kino Delirium: The Films of Guy Maddin (ARP 2000) won the 2001 Carol Shields City of Winnipeg Book Award.
Caelum Vatnsdal not only loves horrow movies, he's fond of them. Love can be blind, but fond sees both the potential and the flaws. Fond enjoys, and that enjoyment is evident in every world of They Came From Within. Enjoyment and enthusiasm and a sense of humour that is, like all good humour, as truthful as it is funny... This Canadian book is damn good. - Tanya Huff, Globe and MailThey Came From Within is a revelatory and informative study of a previously underexplored area of horror history. - Michael GingoldCaelum Vatnsdal approaches the cheapjack shudders and sordid pleasures ladled out by Canada's 'balladeers of blood' with a lover's ardor. His account of our B-movie past-so rich in dreams and embarrassment-combines first-rate storytelling with a steady downpour of inspired comedy. -George Toles, author of A House Made of Light--Essays on the Art of Film and co-screenwriter of The Saddest Music in the World
