Bruce Lorne Campbell is 64 years young this month. This marks over four decades spent with the Michiganer; add on a few years if you include the Super 8 shorts saga with Scott Spiegel, Bill Ward and Josh Becker. Armed with the charisma of a leading man, comedic chops of a vaudevillian and a couldn’t-give-a-shit […]

“They don’t make ’em like this anymore.” Well, to be frank, they never made ’em like Army of Darkness, and given today’s stale slate of sequelizing, they ain’t gonna make ’em like this ever again. No, as years become decades, and time shifts ever further away from 1993, hindsight becomes kinder and kinder to Sam […]

In the Fall of 1979, a Michigan State filmmaker and his childhood friends ventured into the Tennessee woods to make a horror movie. What started out as a dream quickly devolved into a nightmare: a grueling series of weeks involving buckets of fake blood, myriad near-death experiences, ricocheting emotions, and dozens of sleepless nights. It’s […]

I have always been a fan of that most improbable of all subgenres, the horror comedy. It has been around for a very long time, dating back to the silent era with The Cat and the Canary and the early talkies with James Whale’s genre twisting films like The Old Dark House and Bride of […]

“There’s no day more harmful to retail workers than this one.” Released for Black Friday just last month, Casey Tebo‘s horror-comedy Black Friday is a fun one for the holiday season, and I suspect it’s going to become an annual watch for horror fans who can’t get enough of holiday-themed horror. Starring Bruce Campbell and […]
