  • Lust for a Vampire (1971): When Gothic Horror Tried to Go Pop

    โ€‹Hammer was in trouble in ’71. They were like a zombie at a disco, trying to look cool, but their limbs were falling off. Theyโ€™d just had a hit with The Vampire Lovers, but Ingrid Pitt had bailed, Terence Fisher had literally broken his leg, and the studio was actively trying to modernise and court…

  • The Asylum Release Frankenstein’s Bride Onto Digital Platforms

    Never being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, The Asylum have released Frankenstein’s Bride onto digital platforms, a couple of weeks ahead of Maggie Gyllenhaalโ€™s The Bride!, which is due out March 6th. When Frankenstein’s Monster is about to marry his bride, three men show up in the church, yell about blasphemy,…

  • Witchfinder General: The Face of English Horror

    Step away from the Technicolor vampires and the campy castle sets, because we are heading to the year 1645, a time when the English countryside wasn’t a place for a picnic; it was a place for mass executions. While the 1960s were supposedly about peace and love, a director barely in his mid-twenties named Michael…

  • The Thing (1982): Flamethrower Therapy

    When John Carpenterโ€™s The Thing landed in theaters in the summer of 1982, it didn’t just walk through the front door; it burst through the wall like something that had run out of room inside its own skin. It was a high-tension, high-octane masterpiece that arrived at the worst possible time. Audiences were busy falling…

  • The Thing from Another World (1951): Super-Carrots, Sled Dogs, and Cold War Paranoia

    Hold onto your parkas and check the perimeter, because weโ€™re heading back to 1951โ€”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…

  • Jitters Will Give You The Creeps in Brand New Trailer

    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…

  • Trailer For Lee Cronin’s The Mummy Drops. Scares The Shit Out Of Reporter

    “Don’t worry, Grandma. Itโ€™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…

  • Candyman (1992): The Writing on the Wall

    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 1992โ€™s Candyman is the gothic cathedral built right on top of itโ€”constructed out of rusty hooks, urban decay, and about two…

  • ITN Movies Unleash New Trailer: Popeye Returns

    If news of one brand new movie from ITN Movies wasn’t enough, the studio have unleashed a trailer for Popeye Returns.
