Night of the Demons 1988 Vs. 2009 The 1988 version of Night of the Demons is by no means a masterpiece, but since it was released during my impressionable teenage years, I kind of love it. It’s slow-going and takes forever to get to the gore, but when it does, it’s a mix of terror

5 reasons you need to watch The Walking Dead I’m always wary of something that has SO much hype surrounding it. But you guys. YOU GUYS. The Walking Dead was so awesome I’m having trouble even thinking about how to describe it—so I whittled it down to the 5 best reasons: Andrew Lincoln (as Rick
31 Horror Movies I Own #30: Cabin Fever I know everybody likes Hostel more, but I still stand by my belief that Eli Roth’s first film is his best (so far). Cabin Fever evokes the feeling of old-school slasher movies complete with the requisite amount of drugs, booze, and T&A—but instead of a crazy killer,
31 Horror Movies I Own #29: Dead Alive (AKA Braindead) My second favorite Peter Jackson film (Heavenly Creatures is the first), Dead Alive is a hilarious 1992 blood-fest from the LOTR master that makes me extremely happy. Shy Lionel Cosgrove is trying to escape his overbearing mother’s clutches so he can woo the girl of
31 Horror Movies I Own #28: A Nightmare on Elm Street “I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy” I’ve written previously about my love for A Nightmare on Elm Street, but I wanted to reiterate how AWESOME the original 1984 movie is. Wes Craven created one badass sicko in the form of Fred Krueger, which is why
31 Horror Movies I Own #6: Candyman It might seem silly, but there was a time when I couldn’t watch this movie when I was alone, and you will NEVER EVER EVER catch me saying “Candyman” in the mirror five times (poor Ted Raimi). No. Way. I’m not a superstitious person by nature, but the
Horror Movies I Own #5: Ginger Snaps “Out by 16 or dead in the scene, but together forever…” Ginger Snaps is one of those surprising little horror films that I might have skipped over if several friends hadn’t assured me I’d love it—and I do. How could I not love a story about death-obsessed Goth
31 Horror Movies I Own: #1, Hellraiser I suspect that if you weren’t a teen or preteen when Clive Barker’s Hellraiser hit the horror scene, you’d view it now and think “This is fucking dated and cheesy and not scary at all”…and you’d be half-right. There’s no denying that it’s dated. 1987 was a fine
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
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
