Fearless Vampire Killers is part comedy, part horror, but in all honesty, the “comedy” aspect of it (while I did have a few laughs) actually just adds to the creepiness of it. Even more eerie, was to watch Sharon Tate (real life wife of director Roman Polanski, who plays the female lead Sarah) perform in …
How often do you get asked to suggest a movie choice for a friend or relative who has run out of ideas? When it comes to horror I find myself telling people to give The Descent a try every chance I get. In my humble opinion it’s a brilliant film, (thought I would get that …
Remakes. The mere mention of the word almost always invokes passion from us horror fans, and whether you love them or you absolutely cannot stand them, there’s one thing that’s for certain; remakes are an incredible conversation starter. Personally, I have absolutely no issue with remakes, and I feel that hating a movie for being …
There are so many horror-themed TV shows airing right now that I almost can’t even keep track of them all – and I certainly don’t have the time to watch them all. True Detective just came to an end this past Sunday night and The Walking Dead is currently wrapping up its fourth season, which …

After co-writing and directing Hellraiser: Inferno in 2000, Derrickson truly made a name for himself with 2005’s The Exorcism of Emily Rose, …
Amazing, no. Beautiful, no. Brilliant, no. Dread, no. Ecstasy, no. Fascinating, no. Haunting, no. Horrifying, no. Incredible, no. Melancholy, no. Riveting, no. Shocking, no. We could go through every word in the dictionary and we’re still simply going to fall short of describing a masterpiece like True Detective. After Breaking Bad was over, I thought …
I was obsessed with movie posters in the 80s, to me they were genuine works of art that could be visually studied for hours. They fired my imagination and made me dream of being able to create something that beautiful myself. Being a fairly quiet and shy lad I would often whisper in my Dads …
Millennium is another unfortunate example of an amazing, superb TV show being canceled. Millennium is often described as an X-Files spin-off, but that’s really not accurate. In fact if anything, an X-Files episode, appropriately named “Millennium” (season 7, episode 4), was a spin-off of Millennium or a hybrid, clash of the two shows. Despite several …
