Continuing with my Italian horror theme – Demoni And Demoni 2 are two more films I was obsessed with in my teen years. Shortly after discovering Argento, I did some research (which in those pre-internet days meant visiting a lot of video stores and talking to people FACE TO FACE. Shocking, I know) that he

I’ve been a huge Argento fan ever since I rented Suspiria in my teens, and at some point in the late 80s/early 90s, Argento, Bava, and Fulci films were the only horror movies I would watch. To play a little bit of catch-up on 31 Horror Films in 31 Days – I decided to re-review
Got a chance to see the new version of The Thing today, and while it’s technically a prequel (showing us what happened to the Norwegian station from the first film), it’s really more like “premake”…or a “requel”. That is to say, there was really no reason for this movie to be made, at all, because you can
31 Horror Movies in 31 Days Two-for-1! Well, more like two in one day, since I missed yesterday’s post. I know I’ve talked about my love for Ginger Snaps before, but I feel like it needs even more appreciation, along with its sequel: Ginger Snaps: Unleashed. Ginger Snaps is a fantastic little horror film, blending humor, teenage
I thoroughly enjoyed Adam Green’s Hatchet, and I was really looking forward to seeing the sequel – especially because of all the “banned from theaters” controversy – but also because, HELLO: Tony Todd rules. Unfortunately, Hatchet II didn’t quite live up to the hype. [SPOILERS] It started out really strong, picking up right where the first movie ended with
Today, you get a short post from me because I am just too damn tired to concentrate long enough for a coherent rant about why I love Freddy Vs. Jason. Long story short (too late!): After many years of speculation, rewrites, and fiascos, they did this thing up RIGHT. The writers paid close attention to
Open House (2010) Those of you who might have seen the cover art for this film probably noticed that Sookie & Bill from True Blood are featured prominently. That’s actually a slick marketing trick, since their combined screen time is less than 10 minutes. It all makes sense, though, because this little horror flick is
First off, Hobo with a Shotgun is an OFFICIAL Sundance selection! Secondly, Rutger Hauer is, was, and always will be one of the raddest horror film actors ever. Time to fire up the original The Hitcher in prep of this full-length Grindhouse inspired film (who knew all those fake trailers would one day be real
I think I just found my new favorite artist. Check out these amazing sculptures from UK artist Jessica Harrison. These blood-spattered beauties feature entrails, exposed brains, decapitation and more horrific gore. They’re fascinating to look at, and I would LOVE to have one to place somewhere in my house – and see how long it
SO BRILLIANT. I think JoBeth Williams totally deserves a Scream Queen title for Poltergeist, don’t you?
I Love Splatter!
