Elephant in the Room is a series of interviews with people made famous by their roles in horror movies. But we’re not going to talk about that. Nope. We’re not going to mention those horror movies. We’re going to take a slight departure from asking the typical questions and instead delve into what their lives …
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 …
If you took away everything that made Scream the movie that it was, you’d be left with precisely the sort of generic horror movie that Scream was poking fun at, and that’s pretty much the best possible way I can describe the movie I watched tonight. Released at the tail end of last year, that …

In fact if anything, an X-Files episode, appropriately named “Millennium” (season 7, episode 4), was a spin-off of Millennium or a hybrid, clash of the two shows. Despite several …
Alien 3 is a divisive movie, I’ve witnessed some seriously heated online debates over the years about certain Horror and Sci-Fi films but nothing comes close to the perfect storm of emotions that Alien 3 discussions tend to unleash. The first time I watched it was mid 1993 on a fuzzy, low quality VHS tape …
As I get older I find myself looking back to my childhood more and more … Occasionally I’ll suddenly remember something that my brain has stored away and a flood of memories will spill out, this piece is based on such a moment that happened just a few days ago. I was scribbling down ideas …
