EVERYONE IS DOING IT! And by IT, I mean making lists of the best of the decade — so I decided to do one too that highlights my favorite horror films in hopes of getting some more eyes on some films that I think are pretty great. 2010 BEREAVEMENTDirected by Stevan MenaThis twisted little indie

You know I love me some scary as F cult horror! Written and Directed by Sonia Escolano, House of Sweat and Tears is based on an actual cult started by Luz Amparo Cuevas Arteseros in the 90s. Luz claimed to be a seer who believed that the Virgin of Sorrows appeared to her and directed
A few weeks ago at Crypticon, I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing iconic actress Dee Wallace, star of SO many films including E.T., Cujo, The Howling, The Frighteners, Critters, and several Rob Zombie-directed films including the upcoming 3 From Hell. Take a listen to it here; I’ve transcribed the first part before the Q&A
More from my I Love Splatter! A to Z project — where I watch every single one of my horror dvds in alphabetical order. Today I watched Audition, directed by Takashi Miike which not only sent me down a rabbit hole of Miike films; it also kicked off a huge J-Horror obsession. You can watch
