13. It (1990) It is a scary movie, but only because of Tim Curry. Plus, clowns are scary. Other things that are scary: blood coming up from your drain, phantom balloons that pop and spray blood everywhere, pictures that come alive, and people who live in sewers. This miniseries has all of these. The least scary part? The ending. Talk …

Books are magical. Immersing yourself in the depths of the written word can whisk you away to the far reaches of imagination and drag you naked through the intricacies of epic tales of love, adventure, romance and horror. Unfortunately, the way I see it, books take a lot of time away from the more important enjoyments in life like drunkenly …

As I peruse the varied articles posted here on Horrornews.net I am constantly amazed at the amount of information that is disseminated each & everyday. I’m especially intrigued by the “Lists” columns. There are so many categories of lists that I never would have thought of posted weekly, And all of them are very entertaining & informative. I thought about …

Every year I like to spend some time and go through my horror film collection and find some to watch when Valentine’s Day is coming up.  Last year I came up with the basic top ten best films to watch on Valentine’s Day.  At first I thought about doing the loners addiction of my list, but I didn’t think that …

She has long, shiny black hair and is wearing a beige …

Well these moments are most evident in horror films. Horror films are usually low budget so they can get aspiring actors to speak a few lines for little …

1. Dog Soldiers (2002) This is most definitely one the best modern werewolf movies. Even though the werewolves remind me of the ones from The Howling, this movie is one of the most original to come out in years. The military in the Scottish Highlands, fighting the children of the night? Yes, please! Expecting to carry out a routine training …

With technology constantly changing, it is sometimes difficult to keep up with it all. VHS tapes used to be the most popular form of movie-watching around, but with the invention of DVDs, Blu-Ray discs and Video on Demand, not many people (except me) buy VHS tapes anymore. Some people don’t even own a VCR. There are many good horror films …

Most horror films are all about killing and torturing, but there are some that even though they have some deaths in it, also have a lot of love. So below I bring you my list of ten films to cuddle up with your significant other, or your favorite blanket, and watch the love and blood pour out. Friday the 13th …

Every time I turn on the news I see another city or state with a state of emergency warning for a winter storm.  Even here in Colorado we got a big snow storm over the weekend (for which I had to be in an airport for 14 hours due to delays…).  So to honor the snow gods I decided to …
