I love Arnold Schwarzenegger. I’ve seen every movie he’s done. Read his book. Follow his newsletter (which I totally recommend if you’re looking for a bit of healthy positivity in your day). Can spell his last name without Googling it. I grew up looking up to him as a father figure and still do to […]

There was a time us old folk remember when you would rent a messed up little indie horror movie based solely on the cover and description. No Twitter hyperbole or festival raving aside from what was written on the box (which was often not to be believed). Not even a Rotten Tomatoes score to check! […]

Imagine Jason Voorhees wreaking havoc in the aisles of a Crystal Lake S-Mart. The only thing standing between him and the gruesome murders of the teenage employees working there is Ash Williams. Who also works there. Housewares! What a scene! A scene that never happened. Actually, it did happen in both a comic book and a […]

For most horror franchises, a decent fifth film seems to be harder to find than a Necronomicon and usually about as dumb as the guy who’d read it out loud. According to those who have seen Evil Dead Rise (now playing in theaters!), however, it looks like the franchise is now home to the rare fifth […]

There’s no franchise like the Evil Dead franchise. Four quality entries (plus a TV series, which we’re not covering in this particular article) that each, in their own way, have managed to push the boundaries of originality, black comedy, fear and fun. Not to mention buckets, troths and otherwise gnarly amounts of blood and gore. That’s the […]

The Insidious franchise has always had a special place in my little black heart. And I believe it’s because I was so pleasantly surprised at my theater experience with the first film. Something about that gigantic red INSIDIOUS popping on the screen as the violin violently erupted like an A24 score having a panic attack just stuck […]

Not many horror films truly scare me these days. But alien horror? Even the ones substandard to most send me into a fear frenzy. That’s why I’m taking a deep dive into the sub-genre. Welcome to Aliens Scare Me. A look into alien horror films on a case by case basis. This month we’re probing deep into action/sci-fi […]

When you think of John Wick you probably don’t think of slasher films. But Wick has single handedly killed nearly three hundred folks across a mere three films. That’s around double the amount Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers have. Put together. Still, as Harry in True Lies puts it, “Yeah….but they were all bad.” Let’s say they […]

Keanu Reeves. John Wick. The Baba Yaga of our hearts. Everyone knows him and by god, everyone loves him. He’s been everything from a surfer cop in Point Break to a tumbleweed in The SpongeBob Movie. He’s also left his mark on horror. Let’s take a look at the many roles he’s played in the genre, shall we? […]

Cocaine Bear is being unleashed in movie theaters this weekend and we’re all very excited. Who doesn’t want to see a killer bear do hardcore drugs and go on a murderous rampage?

I was fourteen years old. I had just gotten home from a friend’s house after dark and noticed my parents weren’t home. Nice. I flipped on the cable TV with the clicker, not even bothering to find a channel. I’m loafing around, snacking or whatever. Then I hear blood curdling screams and the TV finally […]

We’ve talked before about how the introduction of Scream into the horror world changed everything. It was an Elvis, Beatles, Nirvana moment for the genre. Why, though? It’s the Millennium! Motives are incidental! No really, it’s because Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson gave us something that could be fun and frightening at the same time, and in equal […]

It’s always fun to find one of your favorite actors in a horror movie. It’s especially fun to notice an actor in an upcoming horror movie, move to check their IMDb and notice a litany of other horror movies you’d maybe forgotten they starred in. But to go and watch all of said actors horror movies […]
