Top 5 Horror Inspired Fashion Lines That Should Exist

After recently hearing about H&M's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-inspired fashion line, I started thinking about how many horror or grindhouse movies could be used as inspiration for some interesting clothing. Here are my top ...

The Human Centipede 2 Full Sequence: It's Back

Where to even begin a review of Human Centipede 2 Full Sequence... The film opens up with the ending of the first movie, and reveals that we are seeing it being played on the computer screen of a parking garage security guard. The strange, disturbed man, named Martin, immediately decides to set forth his own plan to mimic the film and create a real-life, 12-person human centipede. He begins capturing helpless victims in the very parking garage he's supposed to be protecting, using a crow bar to knock innocent people unconscious for use in his demented experiment, which takes place in a deserted building. He even tricks an actress...

New York Times on VHS Horror

Louis Justin, 21, the owner of the one-man company Massacre Video. (via nytimes.com) Just recently, the New York Times ran this pretty interesting piece in their movies section about the appeal of horror films on VHS as opposed to on DVD. It was pretty interesting and definitely made me want to get more of these 80's slashers and other horror films on VHS. You can read the article h...

How American Horror Story went from the new hope for horror on TV to just another show

In my previous review of episode 1 of American Horror Story, I enjoyed to show. It had a seemingly cool plot, weird characters and some creepy, unexplainable things going on. American Horror Story tells a very Amityville-Horror-esque tale of a family who, after a life-changing affair and tragic miscarriage, decide its time to start a new life in an old home. Unsurprisingly, after their arrival, strange, supernatural occurrences begin to plague the family. However, the show very quickly went downhill. To put it simply the show got sort of...well, it got sort of dumb. The first episode was filled with cool homages, stunning visuals and a scary...

Vintage Horror Review: The Thing (1982)

With the utter disaster known as 2011's The Thing being released this past week, I figured I'd skip that terrible prequel and rewatch the original masterpiece. The Thing (which is a remake of The Thing From Another World) tells the tale of a group of researchers in the frozen planes of Antarctica. The team, led by Kurt Russell as MacReady, stumble upon a dead team of former researchers and a strange artifact buried deep within the snow. Soon, members of the team are dying off....or are they? The question of who is or who isn't human lingers over the isolated research station in the middle of the frost, and soon it's an every-man-for-himself...

Red State: Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see Kevin Smith's Red State when it was in theaters due to its very limited release. However, Netflix recently released the film on instant. Kevin Smith is one of my favorite non-horror directors who is mostly known for his comedy films, so when I heard about him taking on the horror genre, I was both excited and skeptical...

Netflix signs multi-year licensing agreement with The Walking Dead

I don't know about you guys, but I'm a faithful Netflix user despite recent subscription changes and whatnot, so I thought it was pretty cool that Season 1 of The Walking Dead is now streaming on Netflix's instant service. The show was, as most fans know, incredible. Although, a lot of people missed out on Season 1 when it was actually airing on TV (me being one of those people, who immediately bought and watched the DVD) so now, through Netflix, the show is easier to catch up on before the upcoming season. Although this isn't huge breaking news, I just thought it was cool to see such a great show become more available to those fans interested...

Stephen King announces blood-sucking sequel to "The Shining"

Finally, something to write about! It appears the "King" of horror has a new book in the works, titled Dr. Sleep, and while that alone is pretty big news, this book is allegedly a sequel to his 1977 masterpiece, The Shining. However, supposedly, this book will revolve around a group of traveling vampires. Now, if you're like me, you're probably thinking to yourself Vampires? How does that fit in?...

Why I didn't hate Shark Night 3D (and you shouldn't either)

Like most self respecting movie goers, I thought Shark Night 3D looked, well, stupid. Some sharks in a lake kill some attractive college students. How could that possibly be anything but dumb? Now, like I said in the title of this post, I didn't hate it, however, that doesn't mean it was a "good" movie in anyway. The plot, script and acting was average at best. The film is about a group of overly muscular guys and unrealistically curvy girls who attend college together and decide to spend the weekend at a nearby lake. Things start to go horribly wrong when the friends discover that there are vicious man-eating sharks inhabiting the salt water...

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark: Show Me Your Teeth

Guillermo del Toro and Troy Nixey's adaptation of 1973 television movies of the same name tells the story of Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl sent to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in an ancient house being restored for an architecture magazine. Sally, feeling alone and unwanted in her new home, begins exploring the house and grounds on her own, and soon discovers a hidden basement. Sally soon "befriends" unseen whisperers hidden in the walls and vents of the house. The little creatures crave children's teeth and will do whatever it takes to lure Sally back down to them. Overall, I would score the...

Fright Night: Stake Thy Neighbor

1985's Fright Night is one of the greatest vampire films ever made. Why? Well, to be honest, there's really no clear reason, it's just one of those movies that simply got it right. It also happens to be one of my favorite 80's horror films, so when I heard news of the remake back in April, I was extremely skeptical about it. The 2000's have been slowly destroying 70's and 80's horror with shit-fests like Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), and I really didn't want to see a film that I truly loved face that same unfortunate fate....

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian walks among the living dead

With the immense success that The Walking Dead gained, its not surprising that more and more people want to be involved. One of these people is thrash guitarist Scott Ian of the band Anthrax, who will appear as a zombie in the upcoming season of the award winning series. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more and more celebrity appearance on the show. Along with Game of Thrones and Boardwalk empire, The Walking Dead is one of the best shows on television and I'm definitely excited about the upcoming Season 2. ...

Vintage Horror Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Widely regarded as one of, if not the, greatest horror film of all time, Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is the story of a vicious killer who stalks his victims in the realm of dreams. In particular, the film follows Nancy Thompson, a teenage girl who encounters the deformed murderer known as Freddy Krueger in nightmares set within a large boiler room. Soon, local teenagers begin dying off in mysterious, sleep-related deaths and Nancy fears that she may be the killer's next target. A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most original, well written, well directed and just all around well made slasher film of all time. Wes Craven wrote...

A Slasher Theater Weekly Top 10: Grindhouse Cinema

My apologies for this being so long overdue, my bad. But anyway, this week's Top 10 is a tribute to the gritty, dirty, and downright awesome films of the grindhouse era. Mostly low budget and overly violent, grindhouse/exploitation films are the backbone of the modern horror genre. These films truly pushed the boundaries of cinema in a way no one had before. So here we go 10. Grindhouse (2007) Tarantino and Rodriguez's double feature film was an awesome tribute to the genre made many years after the golden age of exploitation cinema, yet still managed to capture the feel of a true grindhouse film with its stylized depictions of violence, gritty...

Paranormal Activity 3 Teaser Trailer from Comic Con

As much as I hate to say it, they are making yet another Paranormal Activity. I suppose the film is more similar to The Blair Witch Project than we thought, seeing as how both movies have awful, awful sequels. Well, regardless of what I think, they're making another one, so here's the teaser trailer.Apparently this film will be a prequel to Paranormal Activity (2007) and will follow the events leading to the first movie....

Insidious Soundtrack: Where Is It?

I can't be the only person asking this question about the Joseph Bishara composed soundtrack for James Wan's Insidious. The film had an edgy, ultra creepy, slightly avant-garde score that was beyond impressive. So the big question is: Where is the OST? Why can't I find it anywhere? For some odd reason, the soundtrack to Insidious hasn't been officially released and is not available to purchase or download anywhere. This is very unfortunate because of how good the original score by Bishara is. Hopefully, with the films increasing popularity, we'll see it with the release of the special edition, we can only hope...

From the Big Screen to Your TV Screen: Insdious DVD Review

As you all know by now,  Insidious wasn’t the generic haunted house story with a nice little family in their nice little home that is also inhabited by some generic evil force that leaves you thinking “Why didn’t they just move out of the house?” No, Insidious takes it a step further by saying that it’s actually the child that’s haunted. Alright, not too bad, but that seems like it’s been done before as well, and that’s where Insidious really succeeds. It goes way beyond the story about a little boy with some nasty spirits following him around. It takes you to a realm beyond anything you've ever seen before and introduces us to...
