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....

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.

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...
