Makeup effects artist Rick Baker is currently a top trend on Twitter, and fortunately it’s not because he passed away. Unfortunately, however, it’s because the 64-year-old legend has decided to throw in the towel, closing up shop and auctioning off a vast array of props from the various films he contributed to throughout the course …
Jason Trost is endlessly fascinating; both as a person and as a filmmaker. Known for his iconic (used for necessity not as a fashion statement) eye patch and smoldering good looks, Trost is a member of a somewhat cinematic dynasty. His brother Brandon Trost is an accomplished cinematographer, their sister Sarah Trost, is a costume …
It’s 2am, you’re wide awake despite feeling tired ALL day long, and no matter what you do your damn eyes will just not stay shut! We’ve all been there right? When this happens I normally sit in the dark and do some good old fashioned web surfing. All social media is closed down and I …
There’s currently no type of horror movie that fans are more tired of than the found footage film, which has been dominating horror cinema for just a tad bit too long now. Sub-genre pioneer The Blair Witch Project was released more than 15 years ago, and it’s a sad reflection of the genre’s inherent unoriginality …

When I was a kid there were many things I wanted to be when I grew up: Astronaut, archaeologist, veterinarian, comic book artist, British secret agent, post-apocalyptic wasteland survivor! I’d watch a movie with my dad on a Saturday night, then something in that movie would capture my imagination or confuse me and that would …
Ok, before we get started there’s something I need to make clear – I don’t DO Lego, and haven’t touched the stuff since I was about seven years old. Even then I mostly ignored it and filled my time with other interests and activities. Not because I had a short attention span as a kid …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images I’ve stumbled across on the internet this week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! There was a time where it impossible to find home …
Though it’s by no means a great sequel, Poltergeist 2 had at least a few good things going for it. For one, it was co-written by the same guys who wrote the first film (minus, of course, the input of Steven Spielberg), and it also brought all of the surviving stars back. As a result, …
