What hasn’t been said about the fourth Nightmare? It’s certainly the “MTV Nightmare,” drenched in a 1980s timestamp that can’t be ignored. One would argue this is when Mr. Krueger jumped the shark and became an icon for one-liners and pop culture references for horror, before Charles Lee Ray took up that mantle. Freddy mania …
In celebration of Samhain, a lot of horrorphiles have turned to lining up epic lists of 31 horror films for all 31 days of October. I’ve never actually done this myself as, to be quite honest, I watch horror films all year long. However, with work and numerous other responsibilities getting in the way, I …
Shin Godzilla, or “New Godzilla” translated to English, opened this past Tuesday for a limited engagement across the US. As a childhood fan of Godzilla, I had been waiting very impatiently to get a glimpse of this new take on the OG Kaiju king. The early reviews had me stepping into the theater with a …
It’s been a painfully long two weeks since we last took a dive into the lady pond that is Scream Queens. We pick up right where we left off with the Chanels accusing #5 of killing her newest boyfriend. Before they can really get too far into the blame game, Dr. Munsch shows up to …

It seems like such an easy sell, a group of attractive men head out into insert random, preferably isolated, location and they each get dispatched …

I think after years of disappointment, most of us have conditioned ourselves to go into adaptations, remakes, sequels, or prequels of works we love without any expectations. That’s certainly the golden rule that …

Today sees the release of the newest Phantasm film, Phantasm: Ravager, in theaters (also available on VOD) after an 18 year wait. We’ve been taking a look back at the franchise this week with my ranking of the series so far, a breakdown of Phantasm’s End, the big budget sequel that could’ve been, a brief …
This is a huge year for die-hard fans of the Phantasm franchise, not only have we been treated to a new 4K scan of the original 1979 masterpiece but we also get to finally see the fifth and (supposedly) final installment in the series, Ravager. An epic horror franchise, spanning thirty-seven years and five movies, …
