Last night saw the premiere of a new slasher/psychological drama The Following, created and penned by Kevin Williamson (Scream series) and starring Kevin Bacon. I need a new show like I need 50 more cats terrorizing my apartment or like I need the most annoying sound in the world as my cell phone ring, but…
Hot damn – this blog is five years old! Happy Birthday, me! I’m not that much of a pompous douchebag, (well, maybe I am) but five years is a pretty big deal. It may not sound like such a great feat, but it’s a milestone worth celebrating. Here are the only things that I…
This post is spoiler free. Sure, Dexter, Homeland, Game of Thrones and Mad Men are worthy competitors, but it’s time to face the facts: American Horror Story is the best show currently on TV. There. I said it. Horror may not be everybody’s bag, but Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story has been consistently delivering all…
Last year, I counted down the Friday the 13th series, starting from the worst and getting down to the nitty gritty – my fave – Friday the 13th Part 3. This year, I’m taking on the Boogey Man himself: Mr. Michael Myers. This time around, I’m excluding remakes (Sorry, Zombie) while also tossing that third…
The Horror community was filled with shock and terror when rumors about an Evil Dead remake started to float around the Internet a few years back. Should this movie even be touched if not for a proper sequel? Would Bruce Campbell or Sam Raimi be involved? Would it be modernized as torture porn or keep…
When scanning the Netflix instant selection, it’s always a gamble as to A) What you’re going to find on there, and B) How shitty your selected movie is going to be. Grave Encounters was always one I flew by because, well, it looked rather budget. The “found footage” sub-genre is trendy right now given the…
The Walking Dead premiered this week and from a ratings perspective, the outlook is good. Very good. The third season premiere attracted 10.9 million viewers (a mind-blowing number for cable!), defending its title as the most successful basic cable drama of all time in the adult demo. But dammit, it’s time to spit some truth…
It’s the gift that every child should own! Thanks to the NeatoShop, you can own this cute (?) and cuddly (??) zombified monster for $49.95. It’s mostly plush, with vinyl bones, entrails and skull. So…uh…it’s mostly cuddly? The size is 18″ x 16″ x 7″ and there’s only 2 left, so grab it quick before…
As I sit here and write this, I feel shame. After a quick search on the site, I am quite honestly horrified that I never took the time to write about one of my favorite Horror movies of all time: Sleepaway Camp. What a special, special movie, and I showed it almost zero love! That…
When Black Comedy meets Horror, it’s a tricky tightrope to traverse. It could either be the best thing ever (Dead Alive, The Return of the Living Dead), or, well, Basket Case. A friend recommended that I check out Frankenhooker, a 1990 film loosely based around the Frankenstein tale, directed by Frank Henenlotter. Because this friend…
