Pyramid-Head-banner

When I started this list, I was content to stay with the “top 10 coolest horror movie charaters”. In fact, I “thought” I might even have trouble coming up with the 10 that were unique enough (in their own right). Boy was I wrong! Once I started to consider how many different characters we have had (ranging from serial killers, fantasy conceptions, aliens, beasts, monsters and villains), it quickly transformed into …”damn there are too … Continue reading →

Book Review: Alien: The Illustrated Story – Author Archie Goodwin | Walter Simonson

Posted on 11/15/2012 by Alex DiVincenzo
alien-illustrated-story

Alien has to be one of the most merchandised genre movies. From books to toys to video games, the sci-fi classic has been spun off into countless forms. Its profitability is no surprise; I’m not alone in considering it among the greatest films of all time. Shortly after the movie’s release in 1979, the story was adapted into comic form under the name Alien: The Illustrated Story. After being out of print since the … Continue reading →

SYNOPSIS:

Warring alien and predator races descend on a small town, where unsuspecting residents must band together for any chance of survival.

REVIEW:

Oh Boy. So many people really hate this movie. I just re-watched the Unrated Version of AVP-R with my 14 year old who is “discovering” all of the Alien/Predator films. He loved it of course but then again he’s a 14 year old boy who likes anything with blood and … Continue reading →

The-Deadly-Spawn-1983-Movie-7

SYNOPSIS:

Alien creatures invade a small town and a group of four teenagers, plus one little boy, try to escape from them.

REVIEW:

There was a time not long ago when English film censors viewed bloody scenes with intrepidation and would stringently rate them accordingly, usually giving the film an 18+ rating, meaning that it was only appropriate for 18 years old and above. While intentions may have been good, most … Continue reading →

Aliens-1986-Movie-1

SYNOPSIS:

The planet from Alien has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, but will it be enough?

REVIEW:

Ahh…1986, what a fine year it was. I had a cool fiance, a good job AND “Aliens” the first official sequel to “Alien” was released (No need to mention all of the Italian ripoff films with “Alien” in the title). And what expectations it brought … Continue reading →

Lifeforce-1985-movie-2

SYNOPSIS:

A race of space vampires arrive in London and infect the populous.

REVIEW:

Director – Tobe Hooper

If you’ve never seen this movie it’s the one with the nude space vampires. Well, at least one nude space vampire that is worth mentioning and her name is Space Girl (played by the absolutely stunning Mathilda May). Seems weird in a movie review that in the … Continue reading →

New PROMETHEUS image hints at ALIEN connection

Posted on 01/16/2012 by Dave Dreher
prometheus166-450

Director Ridley Scott really seemed to be going out of his way to denounce all the reports that PROMETHEUS, his new epic sci-fi pic hitting theaters this summer had any connection what-so-ever to ALIEN, his 1979 tale of terror in space. A lot of us have been calling bullsh*t on this since the projects inception and it appears that we may have been right. The new still below just hit everyone’s inbox and I don’t … Continue reading →

Top 10 Hottest Alien Women

Posted on 11/18/2011 by HorrorNews.net
Natasha-Henstridge

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 … Continue reading →

With Halloween around the corner, we wanted to make sure we included our mark on the top 20 scariest films of all time. The selections have been scrutinized over and in fact mirror many other such lists. Though we’d added a few surprises that I think get forgotten from time to time. I wanted to point out something painfully obvious.

Alot of our scariest films occurred at the 70′s end years. I don’t think it’s … Continue reading →
