We’ve been celebrating the 30th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street all year long here on Halloween Love, and throughout the course of the year we’ve talked everything from Freddy’s Nightmares to the godawful remake. So be sure to hit up the HL Elm Street archive, if you’re new round these parts. With the …
UK-based label Death Waltz Recording Company dropped a little treat down the proverbial chimney this holiday season in the form of Silent Night, Deadly Night‘s very first soundtrack release, on both vinyl as well as CD. The limited edition two-disc affair, which quickly sold out, served to celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary, and boy does …
As we already discussed at length here on Halloween Love, 2014 was a damn fine year for horror – on the indie front, at least. In addition to a handful of exceptional films, there were also incredible performances aplenty, proving that horror and bad acting don’t always go hand-in-hand. Now that we’re in the final …
There’s nothing I love more about the Christmas season than watching all the films that are sadly irrelevant the other eleven months of the year, ranging from holiday classics like Christmas Vacation and Scrooged to horror favorites like Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night. On top of that list of must-watch feature films is …
You’re unlikely to find a year-end ‘Best Of’ list that doesn’t have The Babadook on it, a film that was particularly impressive given the fact that it marked the directorial debut of Jennifer Kent. Another film garnering much praise on those same lists is Housebound, which is also noteworthy for introducing us horror fans to …
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?! I tweeted earlier today that I don’t want to be …
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 …
Depending on who you ask, this year’s horror output was either awful or exceptional. For those who only watch movies outside of the home, it was awful. But for those who prefer to stay indoors and nestle up on the couch like hermits, horror was downright exceptional in 2014. There was a time, not all …
Looking at the work-in-progress list of my favorite 2014 horror films, I’ve noticed that many of them share the common trait of taking familiar ideas and injecting fresh life into them. Both The Taking of Deborah Logan and The Babadook, in particular, did just that, and so too does my latest addition to the list. …
There are few things I love more than the fusion of Christmas and horror, as there’s just something about the happiest time of the year crossing over to the dark side that is endlessly appealing to me. Movies have been doing it for decades now, to the point that ‘Christmas horror’ has become a bonafide …
