When it comes to horror fans, you’re either a Freddy guy or you’re a Jason guy, and I’ve always been more of a Freddy guy. My love affair with Freddy began in my early formative years, and I have many fond memories of renting, watching, returning and then quickly re-renting and re-watching A Nightmare on …
This past October, I experienced something that I quite frankly never thought I’d have the pleasure of experiencing; I watched Halloween 3: Season of the Witch with Mr. Mustache himself, Tom Atkins. And though I must admit that he talked through the entire thing, his insights into one of my personal favorite horror movies were …
I went into watching Curse of Chucky with very few expectations and came out quite delighted. The movie is full of great fun and lots of nods to fans of the original trilogy with one really special treat. I won’t spoil anything (if you somehow haven’t seen it yet), but one of my only gripes …
Just watched the Lifetime adaptation of the book Flowers in the Attic. While I did enjoy it and it’s apparently much closer to the book than the 1987 movie, I enjoyed the theatrical movie endlessly more and much more deeply.

Find yourself bored by the Academy Awards, and the pandering, Oscar-bait films that are handed nominations and statues of naked gold dudes? Then Fangoria’s Chainsaw Awards are for you. Actually, they’re for all of us; all of us who’d rather see people get killed than fall in love. All of us who are more interested …
You know how there are certain actors you’re such a big fan of that you feel like you could watch them read the phone book, and you’d still be incredibly interested and entertained? If you’re asking me, the same applies for filmmakers, and Park Chan-wook (or Chan-wook Park, if you prefer) is one of those …
How scared do you REALLY want to be? This is a question I found myself pondering this past Halloween season, when a new haunted attraction called Dead of Night sprang up in my area. Unlike any ‘haunted house’ I’ve ever been to, Dead of Night required guests to sign a waiver before entering, and the …
