Like I’m sure many of you Fellow Fans are, I’m one o’ those that’s a fan of anthology films. Trick ‘r Treat, Campfire Tales, V/H/S; even oldies but goodies like the original Amicus productions of Tales From The Crypt and Vault Of Horror; I simply love ‘em. It’s like getting several horror flicks in one; three […]
Each of us horror freaks have those one or two flicks that we remember from childhood that had two profound effects on us; one, they scared the hell out of us, and two, they played a big part in making us horror fans for life. Those particular ones we can see a thousand times, but […]
Sometimes, horror is more effective when its implied rather than expositional. Now I realize that statement seems to somewhat fly in the face of what we all love about horror films, but you and I, Fellow Fans, are both completely aware of how sometimes the “less is more” approach can be very effective; when done well, it can […]
Like most of you out there, I’ve had my share of disappointments when it comes to horror movies. You hear the hype, see the trailer, read about the care that’s gone into a film, and then finally, you see it…and it sucks. Other times, you get drawn in by a fantastic poster or cool DVD […]
OK, here’s a question for you Fellow Fans out there; it may be better suited for those born before 1975, but I have the utmost faith that all of you guys and gals can play along: Name a “ghost movie” from the 1980s…first one that pops into your head. All done? OK, pencils down, I’m taking up your answers. […]
Sometimes, films purportedly based on “true events” don’t have to hinge on the supernatural or cryptozoologic to be horrific. Amityville II: The Possession has some horrific elements, but it essentially tells the story of Ronald DeFeo and his possible madness; the frightful images we see can easily be interpreted as what he saw in his own […]
The 1970s had a feel all of it’s own; the music, the cars, and certainly the films. We horror fanatics can rattle off a good-sized list of great flicks from that decade, from a plethora of Italian giallo films to such classics as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Black Christmas, The Exorcist, and Halloween, just to name a […]
Jessica Cameron Announces New Horror Movie from Ryan M. Andrews Jessica Cameron and Jonathan Scott Higgins (Truth or Dare) are preparing for their triple feature cross-country horror project with the feature film MANIA and the documentary Kill the Production Assistant. They are pleased to announce their collaboration with filmmaker Ryan M. Andrews (Save Yourself, S.I.C.K) […]
Although the German expressionists like Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Murneau’s Nosferatu are milestones, it was the 1930s that brought about the first wave of truly popular horror; beginning with James Whale’s classic take on Frankenstein, horror movies hit their opening stride as crowd-pleasers, and more importantly to studios, money-makers. Soon, other classics were being churned […]
The 1980s was, of course, a bumper decade for we horror fans. There was the rise of the slasher flick, with Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers haunting our theaters every couple years, and nightmarish Freddy Kruger hit the scene in a successful franchise of his own. Tales From The Darkside, Friday the 13th: The Series, […]
In my younger days, friends and I would sit around and discuss possibilities of cross-overs in our favorite films. They did it in comic books all the time, right? We’d see Spider-Man show up in the Avengers, Batman would make an appearance in Green Arrow, and sometimes, we’d even see cross-company stuff, answering such timeless and […]
Those of you wonderful folks who actually read this stuff I post on here with any regularity already know that I’m a fan of bigfoot films. You also know that I’m one o’ those folks willing to give “found footage” a fair shake; besides The Lost Coast Tapes (which was kinda marginal), I’ve only seen one […]
I was lucky enough to be a kid (and a horror fan) back in the golden age of the local video store. As some of you will remember, there was nothing quite like that trip to your neighborhood rental place to browse through the shelves of the many varied flicks that were available that you’d never heard […]
So what would you Fellow Fans have thought of The Muppet Show with Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger ripping through their ranks? Peter Jackson’s Meet The Feebles gave us a little glimpse of what the world of puppets could be like viewed with a little realism (and a whole heap o’ black humor); as a […]
