Deep and Dark: The Descent Has it All

How often do you get asked to suggest a movie choice for a friend or relative who has run out of ideas? When it comes to horror I find myself telling people to give The Descent a try every chance I get. In my humble opinion it’s a brilliant film, (thought I would get that

The One Quality the Best Horror Remakes Have, and the Worst Do Not

Remakes. The mere mention of the word almost always invokes passion from us horror fans, and whether you love them or you absolutely cannot stand them, there’s one thing that’s for certain; remakes are an incredible conversation starter.

California Art Gallery Pays Tribute to the Legacy of Wes Craven

To avoid fainting, keep repeating… It’s only an art exhibit… It’s only an art exhibit.. It’s only an art exhibit. While there’s no denying that Wes Craven isn’t exactly the filmmaker he once was, there’s also no denying that it quite frankly doesn’t even matter. Craven has given us some of the very best horror

1984: One Hell of a Year for Horror

The year we currently find ourselves in is of course 2014, which means that 30 years have passed since the calendar read 1984. That is, if I’m doing the math correctly. I never was very good with numbers… 1984 was one of the greatest years in the history of the horror genre, giving birth to
