I’ll never forget the day I received my first big time movie review copy in the mail, commonly known in the film journalism field as a ‘screener.’ Less than a year after I started my blog Freddy In Space, a package showed up on my doorstep courtesy of Warner Bros., and inside was a DVD …
Something pretty incredible happened on March 13th. Fittingly a Friday, the second of three Friday the 13ths this year marked the limited theatrical release of new indie darling It Follows, a horror film that was released by Radius-TWC into just four theaters – and only in New York and Los Angeles. It’s of course not …
I am, and have always been, a staunch advocate of practical effects. True, modern technology can be a wonderful tool when used in the proper capacity, but there are few things that have done more damage to the horror genre than the advent of CGI: computer-generated imagery. Creative artists like Tom Savini and Rick Baker …
As you’ve probably heard, a substitute teacher in Ohio was recently busted for showing several groups of 14 to 18-year-old students the 2012 anthology film The ABCs of Death, sentenced this past week to serve 90 days in jail for the crime – on top of three years probation.

It was back in 2010 that February officially became Women in Horror Month here in the horror community, with writers encouraged to whip up their own contributions to the celebration, on their own outlets.

Released in 2010 – thereby predating that *other* Frozen movie – Frozen proved that Adam Green (Hatchet) can do horror as well …
It probably goes without saying, but if you missed last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, or haven’t yet begun to delve into the show, this is one post you might want to avoid reading. So now that you have been warned, we shall proceed. In last night’s premiere of Season 5’s second half, hammer-wielding …
Before we even begin, I just want to say that I don’t mean to criticize anyone with what I’m about to type. In fact, I myself am guilty of many of the things I’m going to be ranting about. All I’m looking to do here is start an intelligent discussion, and get some thoughts off …
July 8th of 2005 marked the UK release of The Descent, a film that came to the states the following year.
