I’ve talked at length before about my fascination with “dark” fairy tales. I absolutely love it when a fantasy tale I was told as a child is reinterpreted and either brought back to its darker origins, or made even darker. 2008’s “Bloody Mary” theme at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights even in Orlando was a […]
I’ve been trying for years to find a good scary movie with a scarecrow as the slasher. What seems like such a perfectly easy concept is apparently not. I’ve seen so many bad scarecrow movies – Scarecrow, Scarecrow Slayer, Scarecrow Gone Wild…was the last good scary movie with a scarecrow Dark Night of the Scarecrow, […]
What a piece of sh*t. That’s the short, abbreviated version of my review for The Collector, the directorial debut of Feast I-III/Saw IV-VI writer Marcus Dunstan, who co-wrote this film with his scriptwriting collaborator Patrick Melton. I’ve read all over the net on how great this film is and how Dunstan is a fan made […]

Including a ton of great talent, and tons of bloody goodness (the site is definitely NSFW), this looks to […]
Looks like Production Weekly is reporting that Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of the original Resident Evil, is on board to write and direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, which may give credence to rumors that this would be the last in the franchise. The release date of the film is set for Sept. 17, 2010. This […]
I want one of these up in my office. Of course, then I’d never sleep again. (thanks IGN)
Sure you do …. Stolen from Courtesy of Fangoria. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET comes out April 2010, and has Jackie Earle Haley (WATCHMEN) playing our beloved Freddy Krueger. Also in the cast are Kellan Lutz (TWILIGHT), Rooney Mara (URBAN LEGENDS: BLOODY MARY), Kyle Gallner (JENNIFER’S BODY), Thomas Dekker (LAID TO REST, SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES), […]
Last year, the DTV horrorfest that was Ghost House Underground was a real treat for me. Eight direct to DVD horror films, all pretty decent in quality, were released simultaneously by the Sam Raimi-backed company, including No Man’s Land: The Rise of Reeker, Room 205, and Brotherhood of Blood. This year, GHU looks to only […]
