Sunday has once again arrived all too quickly and here at Halloween Love that means one thing (ignore the recent hiatus!) – it’s time for another batch of incredible poster images from the thriving alternative art community! So far I’ve revealed my personal favorite posters that pay tribute to: Jaws – Stephen King’s IT – …
This past weekend saw my home town once again welcome the ONLY convention that reaches this corner of the UK – Dev-Con. It’s primarily a Sci-Fi and comic book gathering with plenty of dealers and the occasional guest who appeared in Star Wars for about ten seconds, but to a horror fan like myself there …
Released on home video this week, Tremors 5: Bloodlines is the first installment in the monster movie franchise in eleven years, coming in the wake of sequels that went straight-to-video in 1996 (Tremors 2: Aftershocks) and 2001 (Tremors 3: Back to Perfection), as well as a DTV prequel in 2004 (Tremors 4: The Legend Begins). …
This week marks the beginning of October, which officially kicks off this year’s Halloween season. Of course, those of who are ride or die for the holiday have spent the past month celebrating the impending arrival of the big day – and those of us here on Halloween Love quite frankly spend the entire year …
By the end of the 1980s, Wes Craven had woven his name directly into the fabric of popular culture, firmly solidifying himself as a true master of horror.

The truth that we …
In the interest of full disclosure, it seems only fair that I start off this review by noting that I’m a total sucker for two specific types of movies: ones set on Halloween and ones starring the incomparable Nicolas Cage. Needless to say, when I heard that Cage was starring in a supernatural thriller that …
Once hailed as “The Next Spielberg,” M. Night Shyamalan has become somewhat synonymous with disappointing failure. He came onto the scene with the arguably universally adored The Sixth Sense, but many fear his directorial prowess stopped there. Films like Unbreakable and Signs have their respective fanbases, but the failures of Lady in the Water, The …
I can’t think of a horror movie that’s proven more polarizing over the years than Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, the oddball sequel that tossed aside the story of Michael Myers and (attempted) to take the franchise down a completely new path. Only in recent years has the tale of murderous Halloween masks been …
Given Hollywood’s obsession with the origin stories of iconic characters, it’s somewhat surprising that the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has never spawned a full-on prequel. Oddly enough, it was the pilot episode of Freddy’s Nightmares – a show that didn’t have much to do with the character – that delved deepest into Krueger’s origins, …
