To bide their time (or Madness) in the Multiverse ahead of their coverage on Sam Raimi‘s Dr. Strange sequel, the Halloweenies listen to their listeners, one of whom asks: ‘What are the scariest episodes of television you’ve ever seen?” What ensued is a discussion that became remarkably personal as the choices were doled out.

Something strange is going on. The Halloweenies are back at the cabin, only there’s no Ash. The Delta is outside, sure, but there’s no sign of our chainsaw-wielding lothario. No, there’s a new darkness within these woods — one that’s wrapped in plastic and harnessed by barbed wire. You might call it an abomination. Damn, […]

There’s something about Pennsylvania that gets Stephen King thinking about killer cars. Maybe it’s the rolling hills? Or his appreciation for fellow Master of Horror George A. Romero? Whatever the case, like 1983’s Christine, his 2002 novel From a Buick takes place outside Pittsburgh, only this car doesn’t vroom, vroom. No, this one is more […]

“The night, it’s deafening.” There are vampire films, and then there is Near Dark. A high watermark to the gluttonous guff of the genre, Kathryn Bigelow‘s 1987 gem remains a stealth entry in the pantheon of vampiric content. It’s smart, it’s dirty, it’s unforgiving, and it’s stylish, all qualities that so many imitators have tried […]
