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...

A Slasher Theater Editorial: The Scariest Movie I Have Ever Seen

As a long time horror fan, I've become a bit jaded towards actual scares in movies. Jump scares don't bother me, I know nothing is in my closet or under my bed and a guy in a mask in the woods is pretty unlikely around here. However, there is one film that actually managed to scare me...really scare me, and I don't even know why. I, and most of my readers (judging by the poll), believe that John Carpenter is the greatest director in the history of cinema. He is an accomplished film maker in the horror AND action genres who has been around for years and years yet still remains relevant. It isn't Halloween or even The Thing that truly scared...

Vintage Horror Review: Slaughter High (1986)

It's been a  while since a Slasher Theater vintage horror review, so I figured it was about time to check out an older film and review it. As you all know, I have an undying love for horror movies from the 1980's, and Slaughter High is a cult classic when it comes to this time period. It tells the story of a shy nerd named Marty who is finally getting his chance to bang the hottest girl in school. It turns out, however, that this is a cruel prank by a group of popular students, because, as we all know from watching 80's movies, high school students were huge jerks in the 80's. After getting caught by the school's Coach, who apparently...

Jason Zinoman's Shock Value: A horror fan's dream book?

Jason Zinoman's new look at the rise of the modern horror films chronicles the evolution of horror movies through the 70's and 80's (the "Golden Age" of horror). It appears to be an awesome account of how horror really came to be and how some of our favorite films were created. Taken from hundreds of interviews with masters of the genre like George A. Romero and Wes Craven, Shock Value has a lot to live up to in the eyes of horror fans and has the potential to be one of the greatest accounts in film history.
