The shot on video (SOV) format has been a tried and true staple of the horror community ever since the days of “Boardinghouse“. From time to time, a movie comes around that claims to be a “throwback” or an “homage” to these days of horror old. None more so than HI-8. A concept where eight …
My earliest horror movie memories are not of being scared by the movies, but simply having a whole lot of fun watching them. I fell in love with Freddy Krueger at a pretty young age, perhaps younger than one should be at the time of delving into the genre, and I can count on one …
After being taken to the titular Island of Dr. Moreau in the oft-maligned 1996 adaptation of H. G. Wells’ classic novel, Edward Douglas describes the location as being “the most outrageous spectacle” he has ever witnessed. It’s a fitting line, as the film’s hellish production was precisely that. There are few things more intriguing than …

Internet-themed horror has become a bonafide sub-genre in the last few years, with recent films like Open Windows, The Den and the upcoming Unfriended exploring the inherent dangers of the world wide web. It’s a wonderful place, but oh boy is there a dark side. Directed by Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer star Trevor Matthews, Girl …
It’s no secret that horror movies are very rarely recognized at the Academy Awards, with VERY few of them over the years being nominated for Oscar gold – and, of course, the list of actual winners is even more miniscule. But one of the cool things about the horror genre is that it has introduced …
Today I’m going to mosey back down memory lane and share some images from my old Ghostbusters UK comic collection, specifically focussing on the VERY rare examples that still feature their original cover mounted free gifts.
