And when I say creepy, I mean otherworldly, skin-crawling, hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck-standing-up, pineal-gland-tingling creepy. Like great comedy, pace, subtext, and multiple layers is key to really frightening moments in horror. I’m not going to make this a drawn out countdown to the #1 creepiest moment or anything like that, so I’ll just jump in with what inspired …
Whenever I think about any given horror movie that I’m a big time fan of, there’s always one scene/moment that immediately comes to the forefront of my mind, and essentially defines that particular movie for me. In Friday the 13th, for example, it’s that jump scare of an ending that gave us our first introduction …
Given how many hoops any given movie must jump through before being made and released, it’s quite frankly a miracle that so many of them do reach completion, and see the light of day. But for every handful of movies that do, one or two slip through the cracks, and either never get made, or …
I’ve been attending horror conventions for nearly a decade now and one of my most memorable con experiences was at Monster Mania a few years back, when I met Stu Charno. Stu played loveable goofball Ted in Friday the 13th: Part 2, and though I initially just wanted to say hi and grab a quick …
In 2006, author Peter M. Bracke released Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th, a full-color 300+ page book that served as an exhaustive retrospective on the entire Friday the 13th franchise.

This past Thursday marked the VOD release of Wolf Creek 2, the long-awaited sequel to Greg McLean’s 2005 film. McLean once again wrote the script and directed, with Aussie actor John Jarratt returning to reprise the role of Mick Taylor; the most downright badass horror icon of this generation, if you’re asking me. While Wolf …
Horror returns to the big screen this coming weekend with The Quiet Ones, the latest production from legendary company Hammer Films. Co-written and directed by John Pogue – who previously wrote Ghost Ship and wrote/directed Quarantine 2: Terminal – the film centers on a university professor and a team of students who attempt to use …
This Friday marks the theatrical release of yet another ‘hilarious’ horror movie spoof, in the form of A Haunted House 2, a sequel to last year’s A Haunted House. And yes, it stars Marlon Wayans. Because Marlon Wayans is drawn to horror spoofs like flies are drawn to shit. He’s the annoying little fly. They’re …
A few weeks ago, I reviewed Don’t Go To the Reunion, an indie horror film from Slasher Studios. Shortly after, I was contacted by the film’s writer, co-producer & Slasher Studios co-founder Kevin Sommerfield. He appreciated the review and wanted to pass something along exclusively to our readers. I am giving away one DVD copy …
Whenever I think about Lego and creating things out of Lego I tend to think BIG, it’s just an automatic go-to setting my brain has which probably originates from my youth when I would try to build huge vehicles or a tall tower that would inevitably sway then come crashing down. But today I want …
