He wears a lab coat and black-rimmed glasses. He’s often wielding a syringe, filled with a glowing green liquid. And all he wants to do is stick that needle into dead things and bring them back to life. He’s Re-Animator‘s Herbert West, of course, and he’s a bonafide horror icon, like Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers …
Formed in 2010, Trick or Treat Studios caught my attention in a big way a couple years later, with the release of the most impressive looking mass-produced Michael Myers mask ever made. Last year they continued their dominance of the Halloween mask market with licensed releases ranging from They Live to Dark Night of the …
The Plague Dogs disturbed and horrified me as a child, more than any other film I had seen up to that point … animated OR live action. If you go into it with no prior knowledge of the film (or the original book by Richard Adams it is based on) then you are in for …
There were very few fan-favorite slasher films that came out in the 1980s that weren’t honored with at least one sequel, which is why it’s pretty surprising that one of the best slasher exports of the era was never followed up with one.

You look like a crippled doll left …
“I never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over my lips, and hands!” – Anne Rice Over the years – okay, about every other month – I get the opportunity to make fake blood for various reasons. Running a Zombie Walk requires, literally, gallons. But did you know that …
At the beginning of my first post, I mentioned collecting VHS tapes. At last count, I have over 100 tapes, mostly horror. The best part of this hobby is “The Hunt”. Yard sales, thrift stores & flea markets have become my Mecca for the dead format. eBay is a treasure trove of lost tapes and …
Welcome to the concluding part of my look back at ‘The Horror Collection’ a short lived magazine published by Eaglemoss during 2007. The first part of this trip down memory lane can be found here and gives an insight into how ‘Partwork’ magazines such as these have been a constant presence in British newsagents for …
Cosplay noun 1.The practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game. If you’re like me and have a bevy of horror loving friends who are either extreme Halloween lovers or convention goers, you’ve no doubt noticed how serious they take cosplay.
