When presented with the idea of writing about my favorite horror film of all time, I must admit some hesitance on my part. How can you ever do it justice and really explain why it gets you all warm and fuzzy inside? But, being a gal who is almost always up for a challenge, welcome …
I loved the Ghostbusters! … The movies, the cartoon, the toys, the merchandise, all of it. Looking back it felt like you couldn’t open a magazine or enter a shop without seeing something associated with it for a few glorious years back in the 1980s. I have a hobby that perfectly reveals just how much …
It’s not often that I fall in love with a movie based solely on the title. But there are exceptions to that rule. And when you title your movie Child Eater, you immediately become one of those exceptions. Written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen, Child Eater hit the festival circuit last year, where it scooped …
A few weeks ago I wrote about the intense passion and love I have for painted movie posters, especially painted horror posters from the 1970s and 80s.

Here we go with the third part of what will hopefully become a 100% complete visual guide to every character and actor who has died at the hands of the legend that is Jason Voorhees. Jason Takes Manhattan got the treatment first Here. Then we moved onto Part 7: The New Blood Here. Getting on …
First of all let’s get the details out of the way, what was Ghostwatch? Well it was a BBC drama that aired on Halloween night 1992. It was produced and presented to the viewing public in such a way as to make it look like a ‘live’ factual programme, basically a serious investigation of a …
It’s been a hectic week but in amongst the chaos and work I’ve managed to refuel myself with 3 hits of horror, two old favourites and something new … The Exorcist 3. 1990 Over the years I’ve heard a lot of people say that The Exorcist 3 is underrated, I’m not sure I agree, surely …
In my years of blogging and writing about horror movies, I’ve learned to separate art from the artist, which is something I always try my best to do. When you become an active part of this community, you get to know people on a personal level, and sometimes it’s admittedly easy to like a movie …
