Looking at the work-in-progress list of my favorite 2014 horror films, I’ve noticed that many of them share the common trait of taking familiar ideas and injecting fresh life into them. Both The Taking of Deborah Logan and The Babadook, in particular, did just that, and so too does my latest addition to the list. …
There are few things I love more than the fusion of Christmas and horror, as there’s just something about the happiest time of the year crossing over to the dark side that is endlessly appealing to me. Movies have been doing it for decades now, to the point that ‘Christmas horror’ has become a bonafide …
I got asked recently by an online acquaintance how I choose the artists and creative individuals that I conduct quick-fire Q&A’s with here on Halloween Love. What is it that makes me want to contact certain people when there is a whole world of talent out there? Well, the answer to that is pretty simple. …
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?! Nothing says the holidays like getting your craft on and …

As a tie-in with their recent Blu-ray release, Vinegar Syndrome brought Christmas Evil to the Alamo Drafthouse’s New York location this past Friday night, allowing me to cross a big time goal off my holiday bucket list. And boy was it a treat. Directed by Lewis Jackson, Christmas Evil (originally released as You Better Watch …
Here in America, there is one major character that represents the entirety of the Christmas season, and I’m of course referring to Santa Claus. Santa brings awesome gifts to the good children and coal to the bad ones, and though his rituals are admittedly a tad bit creepy, he’s all around a benevolent figure. In …
At long last, specific details about the upcoming Friday the 13th movie are starting to hit the net, as Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller recently revealed some pretty exciting details about the project. First up, he says it’s not going to be a remake or a sequel to 2009’s remake, but rather an entirely different …
As a hardcore fan of Black Christmas, I am inherently wired to hate Black X-Mas. Why? Because it’s a fucking terrible remake of Black Christmas. But I don’t hate it. In fact, I kind of love it.
