My daughter is obsessed with them, my girlfriend adores them, and due to those circumstances I spend WAY more money on them than any man my age probably should. I am talking about My Little Pony. Those annoyingly impressive lumps of plastic that have been around since the dawn of time … or at least …
I’m a massive fan of Neil Marshall, especially loving his first two feature length movies (Dog Soldiers and The Descent), so I recently decided it would be awesome to try and organize one of my quick-fire Q&A sessions with someone who worked on one or both of the films … Step forward Mr. Leslie Simpson. …
All horror fans tend to have that one special movie that they love more than anyone else in the community. For me, that movie is 1995’s Ice Cream Man. I’ve been writing blog posts about Ice Cream Man for the last few years, including one here on Halloween Love, and it’s just one of those …
A few weeks back here on Halloween Love I reviewed the 30th anniversary Silent Night, Deadly Night Blu-ray, a disc that was unfortunately devoid of the special features you’d expect to find on a big anniversary release of a fan-favorite movie. Not long after posting the review, I was chatting with the film’s executive producer …

Most of us probably have a favorite when it comes to the horror icons, even if we keep it to ourselves. I’m on record several times and happy to admit that Jason is my main man, and has been since those distant days of youth. Back then it was a visual thing for me. I …
When it comes to successful and high quality sequels, the early days of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise are hard to beat. The original is a terrifying and dark classic that seems to just get better with age. Freddy’s Revenge tried something a little different but thanks to strong casting and surprisingly layered characters …
As movies like 1988’s Scarecrows (coming soon from Scream Factory!), Dark Night of the Scarecrow and even Batman Begins have proven, there’s something insanely cool – and totally badass – about scarecrows. Of course, it’s the gnarly burlap masks that define the look of scarecrows, and there’s nobody out there who’s nailing that look better …
Ah, VHS. Three letters that instill warm, fuzzy and utterly nostalgic feelings in so many horror fans – myself included. A dead format, long ago replaced by things like DVDs and Blu-rays?
