Bloody Love is in the Air!

Valentine’s Day is Friday and the internet has me inspired.  This week, Facebook and Twitter are all abuzz with romance — chocolate, flowers, champagne and .. zombies.  Nothing wrong with that.  With homemade Valentines and e-cards alike, the horror community appears to be embracing this holiday with its blood and guts.  To get in the… Read More ›

Our Non-Horror Holiday List

It’s December and we (you and me and us collectively) love horror. That means we watch Gremlins, Silent Night Deadly Night, Black Christmas, Jack Frost and all the others. The iconoclast in me, though, doesn’t want to give you a list of Christmas movies that contains all the same 5 or 10 that every other… Read More ›

Retro Review: Home Sweet Home (1981)

Home Sweet Suck: A Thanksgiving Story A couple years ago, Joanna and I watched a duo of flicks with Thanksgiving as the backdrop. The first was the annual standard Home for the Holidays. The second was a movie that I had been wanting to see for years, and of which I was finally able to procure… Read More ›

Review: Curse of Chucky (2013)

Man, remember when rumors of a new Chucky movie started to surface? Remember how stoked you were when you learned that instead of a remake or reboot, we were getting a new sequel that was part of the original canon? And that Don Mancini was STILL in the director’s chair! A lot of people were… Read More ›

Shia LaBeouf’s KILL THE ARCHITECT…

I’ll make this short and sweet. I just finished reading the script for the short, Kill the Architect, penned (and soon-to-be directed) by Shia LaBeouf.  It’s odd, interesting and very arty.  While I’m not exactly a LaBeouf enthusiast, his collaborators interest me greatly.  This piece is being produced for Chiller and the cast includes Eli Roth, Marilyn… Read More ›

Review: Carrie (2013)

Warning: possible spoilers Remakes.  It’s become such a taboo word – especially in the horror world.  I’m typically of the mindset that remakes, like all movies, are good, bad or just okay.  So, if I have an interest, I’m going to see it.  Remake stigma and all!  And, Stephen King’s story is great and I’m… Read More ›

31 Days of Halloween

Here we count down the 31 days of Halloween.  A special Halloween-themed movie for each day of October.  Some staples.  Some randoms.  Check our Facebook page for daily posts.  And so we begin… (IN NO ORDER) #1: The Fear: Resurrection (1999) Bear with me; it’s been a few years. The first Halloween that Joanna and… Read More ›

Review: Among Friends (2012)

After a much anticipated wait, we finally watched Among Friends, the directorial debut of modern-day scream queen Danielle Harris.  It’s without a doubt a near perfect definition of an indie horror film: entertaining and flawed. The story is actually quite fresh and tight-knit.  Bernadette (Alyssa Lobit, who also wrote the screenplay) is throwing an 80s-themed murder… Read More ›

Review: Lords of Salem (2012)

Here Come the Lords! We watched Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem last night. You probably read a ton of reviews last spring when the movie actually hit theaters, so I’ll keep this short. I’m a moderate fan of ‘Bob Zom.’ I really like Corpses and Rejects. I’ve grown to enjoy his first Halloween for… Read More ›

Review: Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

The first review I read of Kick-Ass 2 was not very positive. It was pretty harsh. But the dude never mentioned whether he liked the first one or not. So there is no confusion, and you can accurately weigh my opinion: I love the first Kick-Ass movie. I’ve read the comics, which I enjoy, but… Read More ›
