I can’t think of a horror movie that’s proven more polarizing over the years than Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, the oddball sequel that tossed aside the story of Michael Myers and (attempted) to take the franchise down a completely new path. Only in recent years has the tale of murderous Halloween masks been …
Back in 1986, Media Home Entertainment released a documentary about that year’s Fangoria Weekend of Horrors event, which hit VHS and never (officially) made the transition to DVD. Running an hour long, the tape included footage shot on the convention floor, clips from horror movies, and interviews with various stars, and it’s a must-watch time …
Given Hollywood’s obsession with the origin stories of iconic characters, it’s somewhat surprising that the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has never spawned a full-on prequel. Oddly enough, it was the pilot episode of Freddy’s Nightmares – a show that didn’t have much to do with the character – that delved deepest into Krueger’s origins, …
It’s time once again to take a look at the coolest horror images I’ve stumbled across on the internet in the past week. You didn’t come here for words but rather for photos, so let’s get right to it! Earlier this week, President Obama awarded 21 individuals and organizations for their enduring contributions to the …
There are a handful of horror movies and television episodes that I consider must-watches every Halloween season, from John Carpenter’s Halloween to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Trick ‘r Treat to Roseanne‘s many Halloween specials. It just doesn’t feel like Halloween until I revisit festive favorites such as those, and this year I’m happy …

I suppose the same can be said for any form of entertainment, but the horror community is special in that we’re literally the lifeblood of the entire genre. Along with great power comes great responsibility, …
Though a killer Santa first stalked the screen in 1972’s Tales from the Crypt, it was thanks to films like Black Christmas, Christmas Evil and Silent Night, Deadly Night that ‘Christmas horror’ became a bona fide sub-genre. In the decades since their release, holiday figures like elves and gingerbread men have joined Santa as horror …
It was just about 10 years ago that I attended my very first horror convention. I remember feeling at home when I walked into Maryland’s Hunt Valley Inn for HorrorFind Weekend, as the hotel was swarming with people I immediately felt a strong bond with. It was the first time I was able to physically …
Imagine changing the game, as an artist, once in your life. Now imagine changing it multiple times, in several different decades. One man did that. His name was Wes Craven. It often takes many years, and many movies, for a filmmaker to establish himself on the scene, but Wes Craven cut right to the chase …
When NBC announced back in June that they had cancelled Hannibal, I was one of the many fans who was incredibly bummed out by the news. It’s not that I was surprised, as the writing had been on the wall for some time, but it’s always sad when a show doesn’t get the chance to …
