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 that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! I have so much love for Halloween 3:

Pinfall: The ’Creepshow 2’ Tale That Never Was

Have you ever wondered why the first Creepshow had five tales of terror, while the 1987 sequel only had three? If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, then that’s good, because I’m about to tell you.

Review: Scream Factory’s Collector’s Edition Pumpkinhead Blu-ray

Pumpkinhead is a movie that’s all too often not considered to be one of the best horror exports of the 80s golden age. But if you’re asking me, it should be. Because quite frankly, it’s better than most of the films that are, and far better than it ever really seems to get credit for.

A History of Dawn of the Dead on the Toy Shelf

Images were just released of a brand new Dawn of the Dead action figure that’s honestly one of the coolest horror toys I’ve ever laid eyes on, and they got me thinking about other Dawn figures that have come out in the past. I don’t really need to write up any more of an introduction

Underrated Sequels — Amityville: It’s About Time

Despite a handful of notable exceptions, horror sequels aren’t exactly known for being the greatest movies in the world. Franchises typically overstay their welcome for far too long, resulting in never-ending cash grab sequels that are endlessly inferior to the films that spawned them. For every exceptional sequel like Dream Warriors or Final Chapter, there

The Strain Season 1, Episode 8: Recap and Thoughts

Prior to this past Sunday night’s episode of The Strain, show-runner Carlton Cuse took to Twitter to let his followers know that it’s his personal favorite hour of the show to date, in a follow-up tweet writing that “A lot of stuff we’ve set up starts to pay off.” As promised, ‘Creatures of the Night’
