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 …

So you might recall an advert or 2? Certainly a few of these bodacious eye popping 1-sheets have made you stop once or twice to see what new film products the marketing folks were throwing at you. A few have stuck out as favorites that were clearly using sex appeal to sell its viewers on the lovely inclusions these films …

Stripper based horror films have “not” been in abundance over the years. In fact just trying to come up with a top 10 list was an article project that took longer than expected. However as you’ll note in the first few choices, there have been some great and worthy moments within the genre that will always receive mention. Salma Hayek …

There is an interesting article by Alison Nastasi over at Flavorwire.com about fifteen obscure horror film titles.  I always love reading these lists that other writers come up with because invariably there are some titles on them that I have not only not seen yet but have never even heard of before.  This list is no exception, and it’s unfortunate …

Before you dig entirely into the list we setup here, make note that the title of this list is not “child” but “children” (meaning of course…more than one). The selections collected are indeed indicative of a group of rug-rats who have made their claim into the horror arena. As we collected this latest effort into a new article, it became …

A most curious title, you most likely have seen one or more of these films. While there have been plenty of films that feature isolation, there has also has been a trend (motivated by the SAW movies success) that directly deals with the premise of locking, capturing, kidnapping or placing a group of individuals into a room (or like-location) for …

Presenting our small collective of the worst in horror posters and promotional art. A visual display of some real horror poster failing design choices. We welcome readers to submit more choices to add to this collection though for now we have a smattering of crappy posters and covers that have infiltrated our markets over the years.
