From 1987-89 Stephen Thrower wrote for the British cult film magazine Shock Xpress, edited by Skullflower/Ascension guitarist Stefan Jaworzyn. (Thrower, Jaworzyn and Savage Pencil/Edwin Pouncey would record a 7" EP together as Satin Chickens in 1992). When Shock Xpress folded, he began his own film journal - Eyeball: The European Sex and Horror Review - first published in 1989. It was the beginning of his parallel career as a writer on cult and avant-garde cinema. Eyeball would feature interviews with such legendary film-makers as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Paul Morrissey and Andrzej Zulawski, as well as contributions from other critics, and guests including Britain's foremost writer of horror fiction, Ramsey Campbell, underground film-maker Anna Thew, and the British film and documentary maker Ron Peck (Thrower appears briefly in Peck's Empire State).
