Have a Look If a proper Blu-ray box set release of all 10 Halloween films together for the first time wasn’t exciting enough, I think the most exciting news of all is that this box set includes for the first time ever, an official release of the infamous “Producer’s Cut” of Halloween 6, which isn’t …
The new Showtime horror series Penny Dreadful needs no gimmicks. The writing, acting, production, etc. are already top-notch. However, in addition to that, there is a wonderfully open-ended sustainability to the show that they’ve set up. They’ve already shown us vampires, ghosts (?), Frankenstein’s monster, and other possible creatures with an only partially-linear construct to …
Probably the best quality Manhunt masks and props that will ever see the light of day, from the now shutdown fan-made, live-action web series project Snuffed, are up for sale on eBay by its creator Matt Simpson.

The River television series, which is yet another shaky, found-footage venture from the Paranormal Activity guys, was surprisingly fun. I would chalk this up to being a guilty pleasure because the writing and dialogue were painfully stupid. From characters that don’t understand a word of Spanish, to being able to speak it fluently after a …

And when I say creepy, I mean otherworldly, skin-crawling, hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck-standing-up, pineal-gland-tingling creepy.
