It’s that time of the year again kids, Samhain is fast upon us and the thin veil between our world and the realm of spirits is slipping away.

Horror films are supposed to scare us, except some leave us with an absurd demise just as the credits begin to fall. With no apprehension of the scene we have just witnessed, we find the memory lingering in our subconscious, you revisit it for days and can’t completely get over the fear, you remember the face of his final victim, …

School can be a pretty terrifying place. On the one hand, you have teachers breathing down your neck to make sure you don’t break the rules; your best friends can turn into your worst enemies at the drop of a hat; and social status can be just as important as your grades. The hallways of education can be a nightmare …

2018 has been a truly excellent year for horror movies, with popular releases such as Unfriended: Dark Web and Insidious: The Last Key haunting our cinema screens with triumph. It can only be asked whether 2019 can live up to the high expectations following this year’s current success in the box office and the obvious fact is that it can. …

I have to be in a certain mood to watch Asian horror. I must confess that I mostly haven’t been in that mood for quite a few years. In the previous decade, I was quite taken with Asian horror (along with everybody else) and I watched all the classics, as well as the American remakes: The Ring, The Grudge, The …

Stabbings. Stranglings. Ghastly dolls. Anxiety-fueled phone calls. Bludgeonings. Chases. Unseen terrors. There’s no single recipe to cook up a horrifying opening scene. Some tease you with scares before blasting you with the horror. Others gut punch you with the horror right away. The greatest opening scenes do have one thing in common. They make a promise to the viewer. This …

Whether you’re a fan of zombie flicks, natural disaster films or simply barbaric anarchist …

Nut shots are staples in the world of comedy but more extreme versions also appear in a number of horror films. Actually, I guess it’s more accurate to say that nuts (and penises) are more often cut off, ripped off, bitten off, and shot off in horror films to be more specific.

My favorite sub-genre in all of horror isn’t a sub-genre at all, really; it’s just an element. It’s a huge one, though, one that is as much an antagonist in most cases as the monsters, demons and killers themselves. It’s a sickness, a fascination, and like a moth to flame, I’m drawn to horror movies that deal with driving, roads, …

Aside from being something that’s impossible to explain to your grandmother, Podcasts are also one of the most overlooked entertainment options spawned by the Internet. The best ones offer thought-provoking discussions of alternative ideas or showcase left of the dial humor. At their worst they’re the stoned ramblings of bitter fan boys dropping at least two F-bombs in every sentence. …

Every October, I struggle with what I should watch. There is so much good (and bad) stuff out there, that you have to choose wisely with the free time you have. So, I have decided to share a few of my designated titles to watch, “The Church” When I was around twelve-years-old, the image of Baphomet having sex with a …

Admit it. Even if you’re a seasoned horror veteran, there’s that one film you won’t watch alone or at least without the lights on as it’s so scary to you. For me it’s The Eye. I can’t take the suspense of the elevator scene, I always have to keep the lights on or someone else in the room with me. …

10. Kyra Schon as Karen Cooper in “Night of the Living Dead” Kyra Schon’s performance as Karen Cooper, the zombie who killed her mother with a garden trowel after eating her father, is perhaps one of the most well-known performances in horror history. Her frightening performance truly stole the show and made an impression on viewers everywhere. Although “Night of …

As most of you know I grew up in the 1980s and consider that decade to be the golden age of horror. I also really enjoy a lot of horror films from the 90s as well, and in the past I put together a couple of lists that looked at the underrated horror films that came out of both decades that were …
