Now we all know horror movies are just that, movies, and the characters on screen could never actually come into our bedrooms and kill us…or could they? Now I’m not talking about the terrors from Aliens or The Descent or even Poltergeist. I am talking about real flesh and blood people that could actually come into your bedroom and drive …

Howdy. I think everyone can agree that violence is awesome. It is something we are taught to appreciate since day one. There is nothing more culturally sophisticated than a nice, well done vision of sadistic, relentless, bloody violence. I’ve noticed that in all walks of life horrific bloodbaths have entertained, inspired, consoled and comforted so many people. There really is …

We’ve covered alot of subjects here at HNN in regards to the horror genre. I was asked awhile ago if we’d do a lil’ research on musical productions focusing on a horror themes. So as to not disappoint, we came up with a number of musicals being produced over the years to popular crowds that base their foundation on well …

With all the lists floating around, especially in the “scariest movies of all time” lists, I thought we were due for a “recent” scariest films list. If not for purely the sole purpose of driving a fewer new rentals where they might rightly be deserved to just siphoning thru all the mishmash to point out a few scary favorites. As …

What movies bother you? If you are like most people you can name several films that you’ve seen that are so disturbing that they stayed with you for days after you watched them. I have seen quite a few movies that made me feel more than just a little uneasy, but there are some that stand out more than others. …

Since the release of the terrifying horror film “The Conjuring” I have been hearing about creepy dolls nonstop. While the doll in that movie makes you feel uncomfortable, nothing is scarier than the Key West native doll named “Robert“.  (If you take an interest in film’s scariest dolls then you’ll definitely want to check out this article) Artist Robert Eugene …

I’m a huge consumer of horror movies and weird factoids, which is a very dangerous combination. While researching my novel Voodoo Child, Book One: Zombie Uprising I discovered some offbeat zombie trivia that even I didn’t know. So sit back and enjoy a few delightfully macabre bits of living dead data. THREE BILLION PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THE ZOMBIE PARASITE How’s …

Recently my niece uncovered covert actions within her own household. Apparently my seven-year-old nephew had devised and executed a complex plan to watch The Walking Dead– a show that was deemed strictly off limits. Yet he’d managed to set an alarm for three in the morning, sneak out of bed, navigate Comcast’s Video On Demand feature and watch half an …

More films of interest collected under the theme of “Paranormal Investigators”, this bunch takes on the entities and specters lurking within the great unknown. While there is no shortage of ghost busting going on in the TV world these days, it’s always more fun to watch the fiction based hunters taking on all sorts of dark cretins. Let’s jump right …

A few months ago, I hypothesized that 2016 was the best year for horror. And while 2017 is shaping up to be one for the record books, the key to finding the best year for horror is to look to the past. We have to go way back — to 1985. You read it here first, folks – 1985 is …

I know. I know that it’s been a while since you’ve seen anything new here on HNN from your pal The Black Saint. I hear the cries from the huddled masses…”WHY HAVE YOU SO FORSAKEN US”? My loyal acolytes were left on a ship with no rudder for awhile and for that I must apologize. Apparently the tendons in my …

I have seen tons of horror movies in my lifetime, and as a result I have seen more death scenes than I could ever count. Some are awesome, some suck sour frog ass, and some are just freaking weird, usually because of the unlikely item used to kill someone. Several examples come to mind, but there are some that stand …

Originating from that which is deemed “transgressive” or offensive, this new wave of extreme films does so under the origins of French film makers. Arriving from that, these films have fallen under the modern categorization of what some call “French Extreme” or “New French Extremity“. Not unlike certain modern horror films which take things to the next level, “French Extreme” …

(not in order of ranking) This was a fun list that by design will be expanded with new entries. Cannibals in horror films or movies in general are a particular point of interest to movie fans who otherwise would have heard of real life cannibals making headlines. The interest in flesh consumption or “carefully planned stew” is a taboo that …

Without a doubt there is a ton of male villains in the horror film world (such as Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Leatherface just to name a handful), but what about the female antagonists? There aren’t as many unfortunately there are several that stand out among the relatively small crowd. If you ask me though, a lot of …
