Few horror movies have been referenced, paid homage to and parodied more over the years than The Exorcist, which turned the ripe old age of 40 just last year. Chock full of imagery that’s equal parts memorable and terrifying, from the titular character arriving at the home of a possessed young girl to that possessed …
When it comes to horror fans, you’re either a Freddy guy or you’re a Jason guy, and I’ve always been more of a Freddy guy. My love affair with Freddy began in my early formative years, and I have many fond memories of renting, watching, returning and then quickly re-renting and re-watching A Nightmare on …
On Christmas morning a few years back, my brother gifted me with a blood-stained bathrobe, which turned out to be a screen used costume from Quarantine, the 2008 remake of the Spanish horror film REC. The highly unique gift was my introduction to The Prop Store, which houses the largest and most impressive collection of …
We live in a social media obsessed society, and whether we like it or not, our days are ruled over by things like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram. As someone who writes for a living, and therefore spends most of his days sitting at home on the computer, I know this all too well. To …

After nearly two decades of making a name for himself with dick and fart jokes, Kevin Smith blazed a bold new path for his career in 2011 with Red State, a tale of religious beliefs taken to frightening extremes. The first horror film from the funny fat man, Red State proved that Smith has a …
Find yourself bored by the Academy Awards, and the pandering, Oscar-bait films that are handed nominations and statues of naked gold dudes? Then Fangoria’s Chainsaw Awards are for you. Actually, they’re for all of us; all of us who’d rather see people get killed than fall in love. All of us who are more interested …
You know how there are certain actors you’re such a big fan of that you feel like you could watch them read the phone book, and you’d still be incredibly interested and entertained? If you’re asking me, the same applies for filmmakers, and Park Chan-wook (or Chan-wook Park, if you prefer) is one of those …
