What do movies such as Alien, Aliens, Predator and The Thing all have in common? Well, apart from being awesome, they all manage to bring together large groups of characters and effortlessly make viewers care about each and every one of them, despite varying amounts of screen time. It seems to be a skill that …
I’ve always been a fan of movies that primarily take place in one location and revolve around a simple premise, as it’s fun to see what clever filmmakers are able to do with their hands tied behind their backs, so to speak. 2010’s Buried immediately comes to mind, which takes place completely underground, with Ryan …
…which is pretty impressive, considering it’s technically neither a found footage movie nor a horror movie! I’ll never forget the first time I watched Catfish, which was shown to me a few years back by my friend Kristy. I knew very little about the film, and she smartly held back on offering up any information, …
It’s time for some interaction. I want to mingle (digitally) with Halloween Love readers and get to know them a little better. Chances are most people who regularly come here love horror … a fairly safe assumption to make I would think, and the only thing I enjoy as much as watching horror is talking …
Over the weekend, someone on Facebook asked me if I was bummed that Godzilla was making a killing at the box office, due to the fact that I didn’t really care for the movie all that much. First off, I told the question-asker, I never wish for any movie to fail, no matter what I …
UPDATE — Big news, that will also help answer some questions I posed in this article, a proper Blu-ray of Waxwork is being released. Waxwork, I want to say is my most favorite horror film of all-time, but that’s a tough slot, so I’ll default to saying it’s definitely in my top 10, which is …
I’ve noticed in recent years that I seem to have become less susceptible to a good jump scare which is either due to the poor quality of the scares or simply because I’m getting older. They still catch me off guard from time to time but when you watch as much horror as I do …
Not bad, not good, just pointless. Rosemary’s Baby (2014), to the shock of no one I’m sure, comes no where near the atmosphere, melancholy, and greatness of the original classic. I don’t even have a default position of prejudging remakes, I enjoy plenty of remakes. I also have no complaints about this particular remake, other …
If there ever was a week to reflect on 1979’s Alien it’s this one, which unfortunately kicked off with the passing of artist H.R. Giger, whose contributions to the film could never possibly be overstated. Today, we continue our week-long tribute to Giger here on Halloween Love by giving Alien the ‘Five Fun Facts’ treatment, …
Whenever the sun comes back out to play and the weather starts to warm up, the Sleepaway Camp franchise once again becomes a hot topic of discussion in the horror community – it is, after all, the ultimate summer slasher series. This summer is particularly exciting for fans of the franchise, because Scream Factory is …
