There are few stories that have been more influential on the horror genre than John W. Campbell’s novella Who Goes There?, first published in 1938. The story has been adapted into several feature films over the years, the first of which was 1951’s The Thing from Another World. In 1982, John Carpenter made his own …
It’s somewhat surprising that the Creepshow franchise didn’t go further than it did, as the 1982 film was a big time hit for Warner Bros – both critically and financially. A sequel to the EC Comics-inspired anthology followed in 1987, which similarly turned a respectable profit. In 2007, rights-holders Taurus Entertainment released a film called …
Just as it was for indie horror, 2014 was also a great year for horror on TV, thanks to shows like Hannibal, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Bates Motel and The Strain. Whether you like all those shows or not, there’s no denying that it’s a great time to be a horror fan with …
Earlier this year I started a series of posts about my favorite episodes of HBO’s Tales from the Crypt, which I kicked off with Season 2’s Cryptkeeper origin story, ‘Lower Berth.’ We continue the series today by shining the spotlight on a timely episode of the show, which brought a little horror to the holiday …
It’s almost become a cliche for horror fans to react with anger whenever the big awards shows announce their annual roster of nominees, going off on social media about how horror is ‘snubbed,’ and not appreciated as a respectable form of entertainment.

Spoilers below. Obviously. As expected, every entertainment website on the internet is talking about The Walking Dead today, in the wake of last night’s mid-season finale. There’s a whole lot of outrage, though it has nothing to do with the show killing off another main character. Immediately after Dawn shot Beth in the head, the …
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 …
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 …
We’re now halfway through the fourth season of FX’s American Horror Story, which is set inside the oddball confines of the Freak Show. For the first time in the show’s history, I’ve been one of the people contributing to the weekly ratings, as the overall theme of the season was one I simply couldn’t ignore. …
Ever since Gareth and his Terminus crew were brutally murdered by our heroes, the season’s main threat seemingly eradicated right off the bat, the focus of each subsequent episode of The Walking Dead has been placed on individual characters, including Beth and Abraham. Last night’s episode was all about Daryl and Carol, two characters who …
