This is an article on Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley) as portrayed in Samuel Bayer’s 2010 reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street (read our retro review here). On that note, let me address the huge elephant in the room: This is not really a review of that movie, which is …

This is more than a review of Satanic Panic ’81’s Mara album; it’s also me projecting my thoughts onto each track. The thing about soundtrack music is that it’s supposed to foster images in people’s heads. So, for most of these tracks, I have written down what each song makes …

Does Ronny Yu’s Freddy vs. Jason totally drop the ball in its depiction of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)? It’s partly a matter of subjective opinion, but the answer for me—surprisingly—is no, for the most part.

William Malone’s Creature is bound to draw comparisons to Alien or even Aliens, although this 1985 film has enough to set it apart. While the alien itself (or the “Creature”) does have some similar characteristics to the Alien Queen, it also has some distinguishing features. In fact, this creature can literally …

Although it’s often overshadowed by Rod Serling’s version, it was successful enough to run for 2 seasons and is still considered an iconic sci-fi anthology series.
