Listen up, you beautiful band of gore-hounds and celluloid junkies. We need to talk about the red-headed stepchild of the Crystal Lake lineage. No, I’m not talking about the one where Jason takes a boat to Manhattan and spends eighty percent of the runtime on a floating bathtub. I’m talking about 1985’s Friday the 13th…

I’ve been saying it for ages: technology is evil as shit, and thanks to new trailer for the movie Capture, not only do I believe that more than ever, I’m also not going to get any sleep for about a week. When Abby (Kaitlyn Lunardi) learns that her birth parents died in 1994 and left…

18 seconds. That’s all the new teaser trailer for Dead Eyes is. 18 seconds. But in that 18 seconds it does more than enough to draw you in and make you want to see more. Maybe it’s the story – Sean and his fiancée, Grace, enter a remote forest to search for his missing father,…

What he actually unleashed was a lean, stalking nightmare, less a movie and more a cold breath on the back of your neck. He took the tropes of the drive-in, blood, boobs, and boogeymen, and filtered them…

By 1984, the slasher genre was showing signs of fatigue and repetition. The Parent-Teacher Associations were up in arms, the critics were exhausted, and the formula was becoming as predictable as a 1950s sitcom. Paramount Pictures, sensing the end of an era, decided to do something radical: they decided to actually kill their golden goose.…

Get your hazmat suits ready and try to ignore the smell of burnt popcorn, because we are heading back to 1958, a year when the biggest threat to national security wasn’t a nuclear warhead, but a giant, sentient bowl of strawberry jam from the vacuum of space. We are dissecting the granddaddy of Goo-Horror, the…

Well, fuck. Bruce Campbell, the man, the myth, the guy who made us cheer whenever someone yelled “groovy”, has revealed he’s been diagnosed with cancer. The Evil Dead legend, best known as Ash Williams, shared the news himself on social media, calling the disease “treatable” but not “curable,” and apologizing to fans who might be…
