I’ll never forget the first time I attended a horror convention. It was Maryland’s annual HorrorFind Weekend event, in August of 2005. I was 19 years old, with my dad by my side. And neither of us had any idea what we were getting into… in the very best of ways. Though horror conventions were …
In honor of Valentine’s Day I’m going to present five of my favorite horror movie duos. Of course these are open to interpretation but I think you’d be hard pressed to disagree. 5. Coming in at number five is Jerry Dandridge and Billy Cole from Fright Night. This may be the most controversial couple on …
The Plague Dogs disturbed and horrified me as a child, more than any other film I had seen up to that point … animated OR live action. If you go into it with no prior knowledge of the film (or the original book by Richard Adams it is based on) then you are in for …
There were very few fan-favorite slasher films that came out in the 1980s that weren’t honored with at least one sequel, which is why it’s pretty surprising that one of the best slasher exports of the era was never followed up with one. I’m of course talking about 1981’s My Bloody Valentine, a Canadian production …
At the beginning of my first post, I mentioned collecting VHS tapes. At last count, I have over 100 tapes, mostly horror. The best part of this hobby is “The Hunt”. Yard sales, thrift stores & flea markets have become my Mecca for the dead format. eBay is a treasure trove of lost tapes and …
I collect VHS tapes. As long as it’s horror, or occasionally action. Or Sci-Fi. Or exploitation comedy. Ok, so I collect any VHS. If you ask my wife, she will tell you I have too many. But any horror fan will tell you that VHS is how we fell in love with the genre. It …
Ever seen or even heard of ‘Death Machine‘? … Nope, neither had I until about 7 days ago. Now, I’m far from obsessive when it comes to watching movies, I’ve seen many in my lifetime but I also enjoy reading about them. Articles, reviews even brief comments on forums, so when something comes along that …
When it comes to horror fans, you’re either a Freddy guy or you’re a Jason guy, and I’ve always been more of a Freddy guy. My love affair with Freddy began in my early formative years, and I have many fond memories of renting, watching, returning and then quickly re-renting and re-watching A Nightmare on …
This past October, I experienced something that I quite frankly never thought I’d have the pleasure of experiencing; I watched Halloween 3: Season of the Witch with Mr. Mustache himself, Tom Atkins. And though I must admit that he talked through the entire thing, his insights into one of my personal favorite horror movies were …
I went into watching Curse of Chucky with very few expectations and came out quite delighted. The movie is full of great fun and lots of nods to fans of the original trilogy with one really special treat. I won’t spoil anything (if you somehow haven’t seen it yet), but one of my only gripes …
