That version of the often-filmed tale in sequels and remakes stood out …

The art of mingling horror and comedy together is more subtle than one might think, despite the slapstick ease of say, Evil Dead II or even Lou Costello and Bud Abbott shambling against a Universal goon squad. Some horror films are inherently dark and serious, though yielding bursts of perfectly-timed humor, as An American Werewolf in London did with glorious pastiche. …

Greetings my naughty little fiends! Today we discuss a subject close to my nocturnally maladjusted heart; a dead girl, or more correctly Dead Girl. Unlike what’s packed tight within my chest freezer in the next room, Dead Girl is a film; a film written by the one and only Trent Haaga and starring the enchanting Jenny Spain. If you do …

How much research did you have to do about the Donner Party & Cannibalism before starting on this project? I hope the research wasn’t too detailed. gulp. I had heard the Donner Party story when I was a kid and then again in High School. I regularly ski and snowboard in the Tahoe area as well and had been to …

The composer for the original Friday the 13th score, Harry Manfredini made the sounds that made you poop a little in your jammies.

MJ : HOW CLOSE DOES “EVIL HEAD” FOLLOW THE STORYLINE OF THE EVIL DEAD? DS : ‘Evil Head’ pays homage to the Evil Dead series, in particular Evil Dead 1 & 2. I am a huge fan of Sam Raimi’s work with the series, and while ‘Evil Head’ is a parody of sorts I definitely consider it a tribute to the original films. You’ll …

MJ : How did you come up with the concept for “5 or die” ? TH : It’s experimental, in the sense that we had the writers guild strike and no one was working. This was last spring. A bunch of us thought with everyone sitting around doing nothing, wouldn’t it be great to create something. Everybody is interested in the internet. It’s like one of …
