Posted on 07/06/2011 by Andrew Hawnt

Where many so-called ‘Genre Classics’ in other areas of cinema and literature tend to date and lose some of their lustre (be it due to societal changes in the way issues are perceived, the technology used in the making of the films or whatever), while there are countless examples of horror films that have not only dated … Continue reading →

Horror Fandom: I Could Do That Better

Posted on 09/17/2010 by Andrew Hawnt

Come on, we’ve all thought that at some point or other. When sitting in front of some less-than-brilliant horror flick. It’s a natural reaction. We all think we can do better. Thankfully, there are those amongst us that are actually going that extra step further and getting out of their chairs and making something themselves. We’re in an age where movie lovers are able to shoot and edit their own movies to … Continue reading →

HORROR FANDOM: Paying the past its due

Posted on 08/27/2010 by Andrew Hawnt

One aspect of horror fandom that always brings a warm glow to my geeky heart is the fact that we are always able to appreciate the glories of the past as well as the latest releases.

Those films … Continue reading →

The film is now shooting., and there seems to be some drama unfolding surrounding the production- that much is certain. … Continue reading →

Horror Fandom: A Life in Red

Posted on 08/22/2010 by Andrew Hawnt

Being a horror fan here and now is a strange thing. We are still the outsiders of genre fans to a certain extent. While most genre fans will have a few horror films in their top ten/twenty lists (yeah, it’s okay, we’ve all got them), the dedicated horror fan will have hundreds of top titles, depending on any number of factors. The same can be said for science fiction and fantasy, martial arts films or … Continue reading →

Whatever happened to the HACK/SLASH movie?

Posted on 08/03/2010 by Andrew Hawnt

Something there doesn’t seem to have been much progress with of late has been the movie adaptation of the Hack/Slash comic book series. Word that the film was going into development came way back in 2006 at SDCC from series creator Tim Seeley. The flick was supposed to be arriving in 2008, and yet there was no more real news until Variety announced in July 2009 that Fredrik Bond would be taking … Continue reading →
