Horror-vertising? As discovered on i09.com – a Dubai-based ad agency named Tonic came up with a unique way to sell Burger King; by showing horror icons Jason, Freddy, Chuckie and the Scream ghostface prepping for kills by devouring burgers & fries. Contrary to claiming these ads promote murder, I view it as harmless fun. I

There were multiple things wrong with the Oscar “horror movie tribute” this year, not the least of which was having the Twilight kids come out and introduce it like so: “Although the most popular genre of film is horror, and although it gave a start to the careers of a lot of people in this
I know I am one of few people who actually didn’t mind Zombie’s reboot of Halloween – yes, it was nothing like Carpenter’s classic, but I thought he did a decent job of translating the story for a contemporary audience, and some of the kill scenes were FANTASTIC. So, I put Halloween 2 on my
Normally I wouldn’t even mention a movie as bad as this, but I’m thinking that maybe there are some other horror fans out there who *might* be curious, especially fans of Creepshow 1 & 2. But TRUST ME, skip this. I should have known since Romero and King had absolutely nothing to do with this

I really wanted to like Jennifer’s Body. Like, really, really, REALLY wanted to like it. Why? Because I think Diablo Cody is great. I loved Juno. She seems witty on Twitter. She’s fierce and independent and beautiful and clever – and she’s a woman writer making it in Hollywood. Sadly, I was as bored as
Mad Men Splatter! Usually AMC’s Mad Men wouldn’t fit into my blog as it’s not horrific (well, other than the way in which people treat each other – and their kids), but this past Sunday’s episode involved some booze, a secretary’s reckless driving, and a John Deere Lawnmower. I think my favorite reaction is the guy with
Sometime when I was around 8 or 9, the flashy new cable channel my dad had ordered kept playing previews for Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill. I was fascinated by the scene in the elevator with the flash of a straight razor. I BEGGED my parents to let me watch it. “Let me watch
First a confession: this song is growing on me at a somewhat alarming rate, which I find slightly disturbing as I never thought I would like any Pink song, much less admit it in my blog, but there you go. In any case, the whole reason for posting this video is because I happened to
