In celebration of Samhain, a lot of horrorphiles have turned to lining up epic lists of 31 horror films for all 31 days of October. I’ve never actually done this myself as, to be quite honest, I watch horror films all year long. However, with work and numerous other responsibilities getting in the way, I …
What hasn’t been said about the fourth Nightmare? It’s certainly the “MTV Nightmare,” drenched in a 1980s timestamp that can’t be ignored. One would argue this is when Mr. Krueger jumped the shark and became an icon for one-liners and pop culture references for horror, before Charles Lee Ray took up that mantle. Freddy mania …
If you are like me, you spend a good chunk of October looking for new and unique movies that will get you into the holiday spirit. A few years back I came across an intriguing, fairly new film from Spain called Witching & Bitching. The title alone drew me in, though I thought it could …

It’s been a painfully long two weeks since we last took a dive into the lady pond that is Scream Queens. We pick up right where we left off with the Chanels accusing #5 of killing her newest boyfriend. Before they can really get too far into the blame game, Dr. Munsch shows up to …
Rarely do I come upon something that inspires the word neato, but this definitely qualifies. I really love the clash of old and new, especially in technology. Like when an old, forgotten movie is restored and transferred (and really saved from the vaults) in hi-res to Blu-ray. And regardless of the logistics of making a …
HellBent was touted as the “first gay slasher film”. Released in 2005, it still stands as the first and for now – only gay slasher film of any real merit. It seems like such an easy sell, a group of attractive men head out into insert random, preferably isolated, location and they each get dispatched …

I think after years of disappointment, most of us have conditioned ourselves to go into adaptations, remakes, sequels, or prequels of works we love without any expectations. That’s certainly the golden rule that …
