How scared do you REALLY want to be? This is a question I found myself pondering this past Halloween season, when a new haunted attraction called Dead of Night sprang up in my area. Unlike any ‘haunted house’ I’ve ever been to, Dead of Night required guests to sign a waiver before entering, and the …
This past weekend saw the theatrical release of the second found footage horror film to hit big screens thus far in 2014; Devil’s Due. Fox’s very first foray into the sub-genre that Paramount has been making a killing with over the course of the last several years, Devil’s Due was largely panned by horror fans …
Ya know what I love more than anything? When new movies hit Netflix Instant the same day that they’re released on home video. Such is the case with Plus One (aka +1), the latest film from Dennis Iliadis, the director of 2009’s Last House on the Left remake – which is, in my opinion, one …
See what I did up there? Balls. Because the Tall Man carries around that silver ball thing. Whatever. I thought it was cute. As we discussed here on Halloween Love last week, fan-made documentaries that dig deep into our favorite horror movies and franchises have become all the rage in recent years, and that love …
Whether it’s movies or action figures, I’m endlessly fascinated by things that were planned, announced and/or nearly completed, but never actually saw release.

Clowns are creepy. Clowns are scary. How do I know this? Because I’m creeped out by them. And because a word was actually created to define people who have a mortal fear of them. I rest my case. Many filmmakers over the years have used the creepiness of clowns as a hook for a horror …
From Freddy Krueger smacking Johnny Depp in the face with a frying pan in Freddy’s Dead to Bill Murray popping up as a ‘zombie’ in Zombieland, the horror genre has seen some pretty awesome and totally unexpected cameos over the years. Back in 2010, on my blog Freddy In Space, I highlighted the top 20 …
Earlier this week, we took a look at five upcoming documentaries we should all be excited about. While those docs were all about specific horror movies and franchises, today we’re here to talk about documentaries that are all about us; the fans. It is the horror fans that keep this genre alive and kickin’, and …
My quest to catch up on as many 2013 horror films that I missed as possible before January comes to an end continued with tonight’s viewing of We Are What We Are, which hit On Demand outlets late last year and was just released onto home video here in the states this week. A remake …
