It’s somewhat unfair to review individual episodes of a TV show like The Walking Dead, as you can’t really judge any given season until the complete portrait is painted. The final strokes of this particular painting were revealed last night, as Season 5’s first half was neatly, and tragically, wrapped up. As a whole, Season …
By the time 1984 rolled around, Christmas was well on its way to carving out its own little niche in the horror genre, thanks to films like Black Christmas, To All a Goodnight and Christmas Evil. But it wasn’t until the ’84 holiday season that Santa Claus truly became a horror icon, when Silent Night, …
After three weeks of side stories, all of them finally came together on this past Sunday night’s episode of The Walking Dead, which essentially picked up right where each of those episodes left off. ‘Crossed’ was another filler episode before the impending mid-season battle, though a handful of important things went down… 1) OUR HEROES …
It’s never a good sign when a planned theatrical release is suddenly dumped to VOD outlets, which is precisely the fate that befell this latest effort from the ‘are you sick of us yet?!’ production company Blumhouse.

Whereas most of the things us horror fans watch start off happy and then take a turn for the horrifying, The Walking Dead is one show that wasted absolutely no time getting to the latter. In the premiere episode, Rick Grimes woke up in a hospital bed and quickly discovered that the world had gone …
After bursting onto the scene with writing/directorial debut The Strangers, it seemed a sure thing that the name Bryan Bertino would become one that we’d see attached to big screen horror films for many years to come.

There are a small handful of holiday horror movies that have become synonymous with the Christmas season. To All a Goodnight, despite being a pioneer of the sub-genre, isn’t one of them. Predating Silent Night, Deadly Night by four years, and coming out several months prior to Christmas Evil, To All a Goodnight is the …
