This past Tuesday marked the long-awaited home video release of Anchor Bay/Scream Factory’s Halloween Complete Collection set, for the very first time collecting together every single film in both the original and remake franchises, on Blu-ray. Packed with bonus features and alternate cuts, including the never-before-released Halloween 6: Producer’s Cut, the collection is one that’s …
If you ask any given horror fan what they dislike most about the genre, the answer you’re likely going to hear back is in regards to the inherent lack of originality that has in many ways come to define the landscape of modern horror cinema. Remakes, sequels and rehashed ideas are pretty much the only …
My wife and I spent this past weekend in historic Salem, Massachusetts, which is of course known for being the birthplace of the witch. Within 10 minutes of strolling around the area I was already intent on moving there, just as it immediately became set in stone that we found ourselves a new annual tradition. …
If Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights has an attraction themed after The Strain next year, I’m willing to bet it’ll be largely based on this past Sunday night’s eleventh episode, which finally took the main characters down into the subway tunnels and put Eph face-to-face with The Master.

Whether you like Kevin Smith or you hate him, it’s simply impossible to not respect his unconventional career path – particularly in these last couple years.

Yesterday, for the first time, the holiday horror classic hit Blu-ray. Of course, I bought it. Now I’ve already written a post here on HL about my love …
Whenever you bring up the topic of 80s monster toys, there are a handful of lines that immediately come to anyone’s mind who spent a little time in the decade. The cuddly My Pet Monster is of course one, while those gross-out Madballs also rank high up on the list. Released by Mattel in 1986, …
The surprising announcement was made yesterday that Sony is developing a remake of 1997’s teen slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, with Absentia/Oculus director Mike Flanagan attached to both write and produce. Yep. Now that the 1980s have been mined for all they’re worth, the remake train is passing through the 90s, …
