Film Review: A Return to Salem’s Lot (1987)

Posted on 02/22/2012 by Sean Becktel

SYNOPSIS:

A man and his son vacation to the quiet vampire populated town of Salem’s Lot.

REVIEW:

Hollywood has been doing a far better job with its sequels in recent years by maintaining production levels, story continuity and recasting actors. Audiences are given a better movie experience and Hollywood is rewarded with higher grosses, but this wasn’t always the case. Many poorly conducted sequels that feel like a different movie entirely, and are … Continue reading →

Film Review: Blade (1998)

Posted on 12/20/2011 by HorrorNews.net

SYNOPSIS:

A half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.

REVIEW:

1998 was a good year for Welsey Snipes. Quickly igniting an all-around action hero, his role as Blade sparked a franchise with a hit debut. Wesley brought the right mix of marital arts, cool demeanor and a no apology ass-kicking into his comic book character-turned-film franchise. Blade went on … Continue reading →

Fangs

Posted on 09/27/2011 by Brian E. Niskala

Fangs have historically been the center piece of most fictional characters. Vampires, werewolves and monsters all have them. Different size fangs and fang positions have existed throughout literature/theatrical history.

Fangs create the image of wild beasts such as bears, lions and wolves that we as humans have been fearful of for centuries.

Any type of fang has been a warning sign that that animal is carnivorous with us potentially being its next … Continue reading →

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Casts Up

Posted on 02/14/2011 by Dave Dreher

Actually the project has been casting up for a couple weeks now but to be quite honest the news has been well, rather dull.

David Slade Set To Pilot THE DEMETER

Posted on 02/12/2011 by Dave Dreher

David Slade is no stranger to the vampire genre, actually his name is synonymous with them of late mainly because hit last two films were about the bloodsuckers.

Sure, one of them was a TWILIGHT movie but it did make a butt load of money. The other of course was 30 DAYS OF NIGHT which I personally like a whole bunch. Seems Mr. Slade is done with the “tweenie” horror is as … Continue reading →
