🚪 KNOCK KNOCK. WHO'S THERE? 💀 Some urban legends are better left alone.

In THE KNOCK KNOCK MAN (2025), a group of teenagers attempts to summon a mysterious entity through an old urban legend. Naturally, things go horribly wrong when someone breaks the rules.

Our latest review is now live at MoreHorror.com.

Writer-director Joseph Mazzaferro delivers an indie supernatural slasher packed with '80s horror influences, creepy creature design, practical gore and some genuinely atmospheric moments.

And the opening 911 call? 👀 Let's just say it grabbed our attention.

Mazzaferro told More Horror:

"I'm an '80s kid, and I grew up during what I consider one of the greatest eras of horror filmmaking. Slasher movies were a huge part of my childhood, and that fascination never really went away."

As someone who grew up on Freddy Krueger and the supernatural slashers of that era myself, I can appreciate those influences. There's something pretty cool about seeing filmmakers create their own monsters after growing up with the ones that inspired them.

The film has its familiar genre territory, but there's plenty to appreciate here, including an ending that left me smiling.

🎬 THE KNOCK KNOCK MAN is streaming FREE on Tubi!

The TELE-PLASTIK

It's the first circuit bent noise unit that I built years back. I wanted to start with something simple to manipulate, so I bought this battery operated toy phone, which was made with various monophonic low-resolution customized tones that run through the circuit board for each button. I took it apart and added a circuit break button (red button on the lower right side) that cuts the audio from the device out and in when pushed and released. I also added a pitch bend control (black k**b on the back) that can drastically alter the pitch of the audio up or down, which creates completely different tones than what was made for the device at standard pitch. I also disconnected the internal speaker and installed a 1/8" audio output jack on the base of the phone, which was the largest size jack I could fit into the space allotted in the internal housing, but I have a 1/8" to 1/4" converter adapter that plugs into it. It's simple and limited, but I've sampled a few sounds from it that were used on visual media projects, so I've gotten some use of it. Since this one, I've built a couple more circuit bent noise units out of other devices, which offer a little more audio manipulation. Perhaps, I can shoot a Youtube video of them, the audio would give a much better understanding of what they do.

My longtime friend and former MEDIAWHORE drummer Mike Browning passed away unexpectedly a couple of days back. It's taken me some time to type this, but I've been seeing major music media outlets announce it, so I knew that his fans and those who knew him didn't need my extra commentary to learn of this sad news. Mike was a legend in the extreme metal movement - he was a founding member of MORBID ANGEL, and went on to start NOCTURNUS, as well as played drums in ACHERON, INCUBUS, and a few other bands, including MEDIAWHORE for a year - where he and I were basically together just about every day over that period of time. When not playing shows, we were in the studio every other day rehearsing our live sets, and the off days we were generally on the phone with each other discussing bookings or other matters. He and I had fun times traveling together when we went on the road, and generally split hotel rooms. I had many memorable moments with Mike, some of which were fortunately captured in photos and videos that I've been pulling aside, some with him on stage with MEDIAWHORE, and some with him at mine and Tiffany's wedding, all of which I'll be sharing publicly. He'll be missed by many, and my thoughts and prayers are with his daughter.

Godspeed old friend.

Teenagers summon an urban legend as a dare, but when a rule is broken, the once-harmless game turns lethal and unleashes a dark force.
