Top 15 Giant Monster Movies
Whether you are a new comer or an old hat, you gottta give it up for horror’s giant monsters. Maybe it originates from the “Jack and the Bean Stalk” days or simply seeing a gorilla climb one of America’s largest buildings. Who’s to say. For me, it was those crazy Asians and their monster suits stomping over buildings and electric cables. Still till this day we are fascinated with things that appear very large in… More
Top 20 Cinema Verite Horror Movies (so far)
![paranormal-activity-original[1]](http://horrornews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/paranormal-activity-original1-200x200.jpg)
Cinema Verite, possibly a term we are hearing one too many times these days. Such is the style of filmmaking that simply involves a single POV, a handheld camera, and action that unfolds during the duration of the movie. It ahs also been associated with “found footage” films (though found is not always the case). This has been a trend for the last 2 years based primarily on the reality vision coming off TV fare. So… More
Dai Of The Dead: Women in Horror Month
This is a topic that I have done my best to stay out of this year for reasons that far surpass those that are already public record. Honestly, I would still be keeping to myself but since I keep getting asked for my opinion by related and unrelated parties, I will go into here and let it be the end of it.
I am ALL for a good debate on issues between people who feel… More
Horror TV – Strong as Ever!
Horror is a genre that waxes and wanes on the media of television, and we have been seeing a resurgence in the recent years. From older television series, such as the “Twilight Zone” (1959-1964), and “The Outer Limits” (1963-1965), to the more modern “X-Files” (1993-2002), horror has graced our sets for many years. The current trend of remaking older movies has now transitioned into bringing old television shows to light on the big screen. “Dark… More
Top 10 J-Horror Movies (Japanese Horror Movies)
Asian horror films on the most part fall somewhere between “deep to my heart” to recycled nonsense. Though I do enjoy the thrill of weeding thru all the stinkers to find the gems. For anyone new to these, they present a special brand of fear and dread that is far removed from many Western releases. In fact, I’m quite confident in saying that Asian films tend to rule in the ghost and loony categories. Usually… More
Special Effects on a Budget
Some film genres rely more on special effects than others, and horror is right at the top of the list. When making a horror film, you need all sorts of special effects from fake blood to open wounds and special make-up to help actors appear good and dead! However, if you’re working on a low-budget film and only have a few hundred quid to spend, how can you create realistic special effects without going over-budget?… More
Vintage Screams: Anthology Television Part 2
Continuing on with our essay, we present - Vintage Screams: Anthology Television Part 2. If you missed the first part you can access Vintage Screams: Anthology Television Part 1 directly here.
DARKROOM aired from 1981 to 1982, each hour-long episode featuring two or more stories of varying length hosted by actor James Coburn. Starring Steve Allen, David Carradine, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, June Lockhart and Esther Rolle, in stories of suspense and terror which characterised the short-run series: An imaginative… More
Vintage Screams: Anthology Television Part 1
An anthology television series is a program that presents a different story with a different set of characters in each episode. These normally have different actors each week but some employed a permanent ensemble of actors who would appear in a different drama each week (like Four Star Playhouse). Others would have different actors and stories set in the same ‘shared world’ (like Welcome To Paradox). Many of anthology shows would have a host to… More
Top 15 Worst Horror Remakes of All Time
You know the term well. The dreaded re-make! We are certainly in an era of history repeating itself. Though as in this list, history doesn’t always mean better. This list of turds is our tribute to the worst of the remakes to come along in the horror genre. As an incentive, many of these movies spawn from the influence of great films, I highly suggest tracking some of them down and burning the lame editions.… More
Character Profiles: The Walking Dead: Carol Peletier
Now that the much anticipated Season 2 of The Walking Dead has begun and is currently in a mid-season hiatus, in the coming weeks I’ll continue to be bringing you a special look at our beloved cast of characters. This week we’ll look at Carol.
Melissa McBride steps into the role of Carol Peletier. She is soft spoken, meek, a bit defenseless, the wife of an abusive husband Ed, and has a daughter… More
Top 10 New Year’s Horror Films
Hankering for some “New Years” themed Horror Films?? Well I’m Here to tell ya, there isn’t much. In fact this might present an opportunity for filmmakers to create a “New Year’s” horror film seeing that they get mentioned “every” year at this time (on lists like this)…just saying.
Hey, theme driven horror films can have certain lasting qualities in relation to their event. For instance…Thanksgiving. how many films are rooted in that Holiday? 1? 2? 3?… More
Top 10 Films for 2011 | Black Saint List
It has been a interesting year for horror/sci-fi films this year. In my opinion, it’s been something of a down year for genre films. There have been some really good films released this year but by & large I think the bad ones far outweighed the good ones. I even scrambled to watch “The Orphan Killer” & “The Woman” in the last few days because of all the positive press both had received & I… More
Top 20 Horror Christmas Movies
It’s entirely possible that you’re not going to run out, rent and line these up for Christmas day. And it’s also pretty likely that quite a few of these titles are just simply beyond renting anyways. Most likely an old VHS rental local might do the trick. However, it’s always nice to know what your options are…and for your viewing pleasure we have rounded up 20 of the best of the best and best of… More
Horrors of Humanity: I am So Goth I am Dead…now!
I am so Goth I am dead…Now!
What the fuck can I say about the Goth subculture that could not already be summed up within my last bowel movement? They are both kind of dark, smell weird, stay in a confined area away from sunlight, and float in a bowl. Wait a minute; maybe they are different so forget I compared the two.
Goth comes with a defined set of sociological standards whether they… More
Pins & Needles: The Art of the Voodoo Doll
![voodoo_doll[1]](http://horrornews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/voodoo_doll1-200x200.jpg)
My world isn’t just all disjointed doll heads and dried out human body parts, occasionally it also includes voodoo. And of course quite a few dolls holding on to pins and needles for various reasons, I can imagine you are not surprised by this so let me give you a little lesson about the ins and outs of voodoo dolling.
Voodoo dolls as we know them are largely a New Orleans entity. Though fetish objects… More
My Dolly Dearest
Growing up as a girl means a lot of things: pigtails, dress-up, tea parties, and… dolls. The latter seems harmless right? Playing with a mini-size baby or an 11.5 inch fashionista model is a rite of passage for a lot of young girls. As dolls inhabit their own houses and convertibles, no one and I mean no one, ever thinks for a second these plastic, smiling characters would commit some rather heinous and murderous… More
Horrors of Humanity: W Mesa Bones and Green Chili
New Mexico, the “Land of Entrapment” as the locals call it, is a swell place to go to observe Southwest culture. You can experience all of the Natives wearing the same Slipknot shirts while validating that we should have offered their great grandparents even more rotted meat and smallpox blankets. You can also witness their whining about being fucked over by the white man all the while abusing the legal and social systems through… More
Horrors of Humanity: Smiley Face Killers
Smiley Face Killers!
When I see happy smiling faces the first thing that usually comes to mind is that I want to take a big sharp knife and slice their fucking smile off of their smiley sunshine fucking faces. I want to stick that blade in their sternum and gut them like a fish but continue the process up through the neck and into their smiley fucking mouth. Does that suggest I have mental problems?… More
Top 10 Horror Video Games
The Top 10 Horror Video Games was a tough list to come up with, because there are so many great horror video games to choose from. I completely composed this list of next generation console games (Xbox 360 and Playstation 3), so you should be able to go out and purchase these titles at your local game retailer just in time for Christmas. Also, I had to determine what I would classify as… More
The Devil Won Tonight
(Warning: This article contains spoilers for certain horror movies.)
I recently rented Ti West’s ode to classic horror, “The House of the Devil.”After watching it I began to wonder: why does evil almost always win in occult themed movies? I mean seriously, what is up with the Devil being the victor?
“House…” follows a young college student in search of a job. Naturally, she comes across a ‘babysitter needed’ flyer and ultimately accepts the… More
Horrors of Humanity: Brothel of 1000 Corpses
Bring the booze, drugs, and the condoms because the chicks are in position and waiting for you! It’s party time in the back room of the mortuary and you’re about to experience a sure thing! And in these trying economical times, you can even save money on the amount of booze and drugs you purchase. These dates are not just lightweights; they are easy and willing, although that wet pussy just may not be… More
The Devil Tree
They say that, sometimes, seeing a ghost is just a matter of situational gravity. The 1995 earthquakes in Kobe, Japan brought with them a wide, broad rash of ghost sightings. So too did the tsunami in Thailand, 2004, and Hurricane Katrina, 2005. Ghost sightings are a dime a dozen at battlefields the world over, and it’s relatively accepted that any place that has a heavy history has its share of spirits.
I do believe in… More
Character Profiles: The Walking Dead: Daryl and Merle Dixon
Now that the much anticipated Season 2 of The Walking Dead has begun, in the coming weeks I’ll continue to be bringing you a special look at our beloved cast of characters. This week we’ll look at Daryl and Merle Dixon.
Daryl and Merle Dixon are characters solely created for the television series. They do not appear in the comics, although Robert Kirkman has teased that he would like to introduce either one… More
Top 15 Hottest Sexiest Female Vampires
![True_Blood_Jessica_Fangs_by_Morgadu[1]](http://horrornews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/True_Blood_Jessica_Fangs_by_Morgadu1-200x200.jpg)
If you had a hence to check out our hottest alien females, then you probably already started thinking about hot vampires to boot. Now I’ll be the first to admit that hot vampire chicks seems …well quite the bit hotter than hot alien chicks. Maybe it’s that they want to kiss your neck and drain you or maybe its that alot of the early vampire films (70′s and such) often added that lesbianism overtone.… More
Top 10 Hottest Alien Women
Alien women and science fiction are not as common as you would think. Over the years we’ve had our share of beautiful gals who stepped up to male fantasies by portraying outer space hotties, though somewhere the idea still stems from the green-skinned lady who seduced Captain Kirk. The frequency of Film to TV Alien women inclusions seems to almost spilt down the middle. Though we wanted to take a few minutes to point out… More
Horrors of Humanity: Hot Chick And Potatoes
When I say, “she’s hot” in terms of judging the external aesthetics of a chick I usually do not mean that I need to wear oven mitts when sticking my thermometer into her juicy stuffing crevice. Although, if her internal temperature is not at 165 degrees I may run the chance of contracting salmonella after I eat…her…out. Then again, if her vaginal cavity is that hot I may be the proud owner of a burnt… More
HorrorNews.net says Google+ and Get on Board!
If you’ve been on vacation for the last 2 weeks, you’ll want to seriously consider grabbing your Google+ Business Page. Usually I don’t use this site for social media advice, but I see enough relevance to warrant some movement in the Horror community.
First the basics:
1- create a personal profile
THEN
2- create a Business page (if applicable)
You’ll have to follow in that order, don’t use your personal profile… More
11.11.11 – A Beginning to the End??
Yes, today is what I call the peak day for new Agers and numerologists. It also happens to be the day for a few important films to debut, though that’s just savvy marketing at work. You can read our review on the Darren Bousman release by the same title, though for me I have my eyes set on seeing “Immortals”.
I’m guessing that the search for this date will skyrocket today, not because… More
Nietzsche and Marxism in Eli Roth’s ‘Hostel’
As has already been stated, I’m a graduate student over at Penn State, and when I first arrived there, there was all this talk in my courses by my fellow graduate students about this guy by the name of Foucault. Grad students were saying, “Oh, well, Foucault says, this and Foucault says that.” I didn’t even know who this guy Foucault was and I was getting a little sick and tired of hearing what Mr. Know-It-All Foucault… More
Dolls of a Feather – Scary Creepy Dolls for your Pleasure
When I was just a wee and strange little child I had two great loves in life – Barbie dolls and ghost stories. The only trouble with Barbie is that pink lame kind of leaves me feeling nauseated and a sparkly corvette is by no means my idea of a dream car. So I spent a good many childhood hours stitching Barbie up my idea of a dream wardrobe and spray painting her corvette black… More
