THE HORROR CLOSET #3 — Why the First Gay Slasher, Hellbent, Was the Last

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 …

The Descent (2005) — A Claustrophobe’s Worst Nightmare

By now Neil Marshall’s horror masterpiece The Descent has been given its fair share of praise, but when a film succeeds this well can we ever give it enough? The film is now eleven years old but I still find myself revisiting it at least once per year, often more, which is strange considering I …

Romantic for Time Travel

I get very very excited about time travel in any medium of storytelling. It’s one of my greatest real life fantasies to one day travel in time, but also a terrifying prospect. It’s difficult to put words to the excitement, but my blood pressure rises and I feel a rush while at the same time …

Halloween Love Doesn’t Make Money

We’ve always been pretty transparent about what it is Halloween Love is all about. While we’re absolutely for-profit, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s ever been any or that without it, we wouldn’t go on. We’ve always been a poor man’s entertainment site, a community for starving artists and weirdos, if you will. While all the …

Fans Turn Against Penny Dreadful for its Abrupt Ending

SPOILERS AHEAD I’m a big fan of Penny Dreadful. It’s a show that’s thrilled me, turned me on, and made me cry on many occasions. The story of Frankenstein’s monster has always been an especially tragic tale, but the fresh takes on all kinds of Universal Monsters and their interwoven story arcs has been very …
