The title really says it all, but I’ll elaborate. I must have been 11 or 12 when I first watched Creepshow. My grandmother had rented some scary movies for me in early October of that year and most of them were classics I’d seen before. One film in that stack though was new to me, …
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 …
The cool thing about the Halloween season is that EVERYONE suddenly embraces and celebrates the things we love all year round. Non-horror television shows have proven to be no exception to that rule over the years, often getting their horror on in the weeks leading into the greatest holiday of the year. No show did …
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.

Creative artists like Tom Savini and Rick Baker …
Have you ever wondered why the first Creepshow had five tales of terror, while the 1987 sequel only had three? If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, then that’s good, because I’m about to tell you. If, on the other hand, you answered ‘no,’ well, there’s plenty of other fun stuff you can read here …
Images were just released of a brand new Dawn of the Dead action figure that’s honestly one of the coolest horror toys I’ve ever laid eyes on, and they got me thinking about other Dawn figures that have come out in the past. I don’t really need to write up any more of an introduction …
Earlier today I received a very interesting e-mail from a filmmaker by the name of William Sanders, who is currently working on a movie called Road Trip of the Dead.
