Edward D. Wood, Jr., the hard-drinking, cross-dressing auteur behind the notorious low-budget films Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959), Bride of the Monster (1955), and Glen or Glenda (1953), died at the age of 54 in December 1978, after which his productivity declined significantly. It was his first significant work stoppage since the late 1940s. …
I love sharks; they’re a big deal for me. I saw JAWS at a very young age (around 5-years-old or so), and it’s been deeply embedded in my dreams, my nightmares, and my waking thoughts ever since. It’s perhaps not a full-blown obsession, but definitely a fascination. I’m intrigued by both mechanical sharks and real …
Xavier Burgin’s documentary, Horror Noire, which is taken from the book of the same name, is required viewing for horror fans, film fans, and people interested in the Civil Rights movement. The last one is a particularly heady subject that usually only comes up in horror circles during discussions about George Romero and his hordes …
At first glance, Supernatural appears to be nothing more than a soap opera for men, or just another cheesy CW drama for teenagers. And for years, that was my assumption, rolling my eyes whenever I skipped past it. But a few years ago, I must have just been in a mood to try something new, …
Gleason, Wisconsin has a population of roughly 200 people and growing up, I was one of them. It’s a town where the family farm still struggles to survive and you have to make the 15-mile trip into the “city” for groceries and school. In short, it’s not an area people generally move to. But a …
The film, Cub, burst onto the festival scene in 2014, wowing critics and fans alike. It was also successful in its homeland of Belgium where critics called it “the first Flemish Belgian horror film”. It turns out that’s not exactly correct, and horror journalist turned director, Steve De Roover, is here to set the record …
Back in 1986, Media Home Entertainment released a documentary about that year’s Fangoria Weekend of Horrors event, which hit VHS and never (officially) made the transition to DVD. Running an hour long, the tape included footage shot on the convention floor, clips from horror movies, and interviews with various stars, and it’s a must-watch time …
It’s estimated that we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, which equates to nearly 30 years of dreaming for the average human. That’s pretty remarkable when you think about it, and it’s because we spend so much time doing it that many – including myself – are absolutely fascinated by the things that happen while …
The 1999 DVD box set of Nightmare on Elm Street, to this day, is one of the best box sets ever released. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure this was the very first truly complete horror box sets ever released on DVD (perhaps ever in any form?), certainly well before the Friday …
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 that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! After over a week spent searching every Toys …
