In Timothy Vandenberg’s Agatha, a little orphan girl named Sophie (played by Louise Ogle) is hired by a woman (Penny Kohut) to bring food onto a table for someone living upstairs. Nice gig for a kid, right? Well, you would most certainly be wrong. Sophie is sternly instructed that she …

We’ve had our share of awesome horror villains throughout the years. One of the most badass and underrated ones came from the 2009 slasher film, Laid To Rest which has a memorable villain named ChromeSkull. He is not a force to be reckoned with, but is the film worth a watch …

We’ve seen a lot of horror movies where the evil is a psycho with a machete or a diabolical villain with too much time on his hands. In 2010’s Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, the evil is miscommunication, stereotypes, social awkwardness and highly accident prone college kids. All human aspects of …

Who is The Mad Monster? Is it the slow-witted gardener injected with wolfman serum by a mad scientist? Or is it the mad scientist himself? I’d do with the latter option. After all, the gardener (Glenn Strange) as a human is essentially harmless, and as a wolfman, he is like …

Often credited with inventing the light bulb, Thomas Edison also produced the world’s first short horror film, The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots.

As mentioned, there are three pretty boy fraternity types on a trip to Bangkok, Thailand. …

Mac Carter’s Haunt (2013) offers viewers a haunted house tale, very angry ghosts, and teenage romance. But is it memorable? For me, the character’s names didn’t even sink in. Maybe I’m just bad with names, but it could also be symptomatic of a movie that didn’t keep me absolutely, 100% …

Halloween has long been associated with horror and general spookiness. So it’s no wonder that many Halloween themes have made it into the horror movies that we still watch today. For each Halloween-related image category below, I will recommend a horror movie where such imagery appears. The image may not …

One of the most iconic horror villains, Hannibal Lecter, has undoubtedly left his mark on pop culture forever. He has also left his teeth marks on several victims, both in novels, film, and even a short-lived TV series. What is it about this brilliant, cultured cannibal that sticks with us, …

All Hallows’ Eve reminds us to think twice before digging through our Halloween bags, and that you can’t keep a bad clown down, even if you try. Released in 2013, Damien Leone’s All Hallows’ Eve has much of what one expects from modern horror. There are abundant attempts to shock, but not many …
