Hold onto your parkas and check the perimeter, because we’re heading back to 1951—the era of black-and-white tension, Geiger counters, and the birth of one of the most resilient myths in horror history. Before John Carpenter gave us the shapeshifting, head-sprouting, masterpiece of 1982, there was the Granddaddy of the Glacier: The Thing from Another…

Never trust a clown. That’s just cold, hard facts. Anyone who hides themselves behind a ton of greasepaint while laughing uncontrollably is a serial killer in the making. Just ask John Wayne Gacy. Or the evil AI bastard that dons the persona of the titular character in the new trailer from Miracle Media and Trinity…

“Don’t worry, Grandma. It’s fun to be dead.” Those eight words would be enough to raise the eyebrows of even the most hardened horror reporter, especially when they are uttered by a creature that looks as if they have not only been through Hell so many times they have a fucking condo there, they’ve also…

Step away from the mirror and put down the hairbrush, because we are about to conjure the most velvet-voiced nightmare of the 90s. If Freaks was the raw, mud-caked foundation of the macabre, then 1992’s Candyman is the gothic cathedral built right on top of it—constructed out of rusty hooks, urban decay, and about two…

If news of one brand new movie from ITN Movies wasn’t enough, the studio have unleashed a trailer for Popeye Returns. That’s right, everyone’s favourite public domain sailor is back, pissed off, and jacked up with enough super solder serum to make Marvel’s lawyers twitchy. After killing everyone and their grandma in Popeye’s Revenge, the…

ITN Movies – the company responsible for such masterpieces as Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare – have just released a new trailer for the upcoming movie: Sharks vs. Mermaids. No. Really. Seemingly based on an ancient curse where if you get bitten by a shark or a mermaid, you become a blood…

Step right up, boils and ghouls! Adjust your 3D glasses, ignore the smell of stale popcorn and damp sawdust, and prepare to witness the ultimate forbidden fruit of Pre-Code Hollywood. We aren’t talking about some guy in a rubber suit or a puppet with a bad attitude. No, we are diving headfirst into the murky,…

Army of Darkness remains one of the most anomalous productions in the history of studio-funded cinema. It represents the precise moment where the garage-band ingenuity of Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert collided with the $11 million resources of Universal Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis. The result was not a polished Hollywood product, but a massive…

In January 1920, H. P. Lovecraft shifted the focus from the ethereal mists of the Dream-lands to the salt-crusted, pre-revolutionary streets of Kingsport, grounding his horror in a tangible coastal reality where the weight of history and ancestral memory presses as heavily as the tide. The Terrible Old Man is not merely a short story;…

I wasn’t sure if I was going to cover the Karnstein trilogy. Mainly because as a series of movies, they’ve always struck me more as ‘Carry On Horror,’ and though that might not be 100% fair, these films, staring with The Vampire Lovers, are the moment Hammer realized flesh sold faster than fear. They are,…
