Home for the Holidays: The Proto-Slasher that Came Before Black Christmas

Here’s the deal, there aren’t a lot of great holiday horror films. One of the hands down best, a genuine classic, is Bob Clark’s seminal proto-slasher, Black Christmas. Released in 1974, Black Christmas set the stage for slashers years to come, including little Mikey Myers and his numerous rampages on Halloween night. Yes, Black Christmas

A few weeks ago, I got to check the awesome Christmas slasher flick All Through the House (read my review here).

The Autopsy of Jane Doe — More Movies from Andre Ovredal, Please

One of my favorite aspects of the modern horror scene is the tendency of some its best filmmakers to bend the genre and mash it up into a wonderful crock pot full of horror goodies. Norwegian director Andre Ovredal is one such voice in this community and his 2010 film Troll Hunter showed us just

If you follow Child’s Play creator, Don Mancini on Twitter, you’ve probably noticed quite a resurgence in the man’s career. He just wrapped an inaugural stint as a judge on Food Network’s “Halloween Wars” (one of my favorite Halloween traditions), as supervising writer/producer he helped launch an awesomely creepy new series (Syfy’s “Channel Zero: Candle

Beyond the Gates — The Horror Version of Jumanji

I can’t say that Beyond the Gates is a great movie, but for a low-budget indie, it’s quite enjoyable and the theme of the movie is fun. In fact, it feels more like an anthology segment than a proper movie really, which I actually mean as a compliment. Not sure how I missed it growing

All Through the House Review: An Early Christmas Present for Horror Fans

Today is Nov 25th. In this, the year 2016, that means it’s Black Friday…which also represents the beginning of the holiday season. It’s inescapable. Christmas lights will be strewn about, shopping mall Santas will be bringing children to fits of panic, and the Hallmark channel will be running non-stop Christmas films (all of which my

Through the Cracks: Thanksgiving Edition — Blood Rage

Sometimes a film goes unnoticed for far too long. Few people discuss it or even seem to be aware of its existence. As an avid horror fan, I make it my goal to track down as many obscure flicks as I possibly can. I feel as if I’ve seen it all, but luckily, every now

The First ALIEN COVENANT Teaser Poster Wants You to RUN from a Familiar Face!

Well, this poster seems to confirm two important things. The first is that Alien Covenant has been moved FORWARD to May next year, which really isn’t far away at all! And more importantly, it’s a poster that wants EVERYONE to know that this Alien movie will actually have Aliens in it! Prometheus burned me badly,

I recently had the chance to conduct an interview via email with out horror blogger and journalist, Trace Thurman of the website, Bloody Disgusting.
