I’ve been meaning to write about spooky BBC drama Remember Me for quite some time, but I’ve found it very difficult to decide what I was going to say. Even now, a few months after it aired here in the UK, I’m still undecided if It’s possible to recommend it or not. The problem is …
If you haven’t heard of Scream Factory (a brand of Shout Factory), they specialize in bringing obscure and cult classic horror and sci-fi films to Blu-ray and DVD. These films are often long-forgotten or neglected by the studios. Scream Factory certainly isn’t the only company out there pulling these movies from the archives and restoring …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images I’ve stumbled across on the internet this week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! In their never-ending quest to turn every iconic character in …
I’ve always made it a point to watch new episodes of The Walking Dead as they air, mostly for the purposes of avoiding the social media spoilers that are quite frankly unavoidable. But AMC made that incredibly hard in the fifth season’s second half, as episodes ran concurrent with everything from The Academy Awards to …

True, modern technology can be a wonderful tool when used in the proper capacity, but there are few things that have done more damage to the horror genre than the advent of CGI: computer-generated imagery. Creative artists like Tom Savini and Rick Baker …
In last week’s recap I described stellar episode ‘Remember’ as a bold reinvention of The Walking Dead, taking the show in an entirely new direction. While the series had admittedly been getting a bit stale, the arrival at Alexandria provided a much-needed breath of fresh air – so much so that it felt like the …
The formula of The Walking Dead is that the show tends to reinvent itself every eight episodes, so that things feel fresh and new each time it returns after an extended hiatus. If last month’s mid-season return didn’t quite do that, and indeed it did not, then oh boy did last night’s new episode. Like …
It was back in 2010 that February officially became Women in Horror Month here in the horror community, with writers encouraged to whip up their own contributions to the celebration, on their own outlets. The idea, of course, is to honor the women who have made their mark on the genre, whether we’re talking actors, …
It probably goes without saying, but if you missed last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, or haven’t yet begun to delve into the show, this is one post you might want to avoid reading. So now that you have been warned, we shall proceed. In last night’s premiere of Season 5’s second half, hammer-wielding …
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 …
