Interviews

I’m not going to lie. Science fiction isn’t really my thing. I will choose almost anything else over watching a straight-up sci-fi movie. So, when I was offered an interview for the upcoming sci-fi comedy flick, Iron Sky: The Coming Race, I was more than hesitant. But I have to …

I love to talk with Actor Casper Van Dien. He’s funny, attentive and down to earth, qualities that many who have spent decades in the Hollywood limelight seem to forget. Every since his breakout role in the sci-fi action film, Starship Troopers (1997), Van Dien has been on a wild …

Jovanka Vuckovic has been a champion of women in film for quite some time now and it is inspiring! I have been a fan of Vuckovic since her days at Rue Morgue Magazine, and I have followed her career with incredible enthusiasm. But now, finally, Vuckovic can add feature filmmaker …

In 2018, there was one movie that caught my eye. Euro-horror Luz is an impressive gem of a film whose reputation started out small, only to grow with every screening and word of mouth. I can tell you, it was well worth the wait. When filmmaker Tilman Singer set out …

I’m an ’80s girl. I grew up in the ’80s; I wore the clothes, teased my hair, played with lawn darts and watched movies. It was right around 1985 that the Brat Pack was coined, named after a band of young actors, including Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, …

The film festival, known for its bloodcurdling entertainment, granted moviegoers with a rare, 35mm presentation of the 1994 comedy, Airheads, in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary. In attendance was the film’s director, Michael Lehman (Heathers 1988, Because I …

One of the men I respect most in this community is James H. Carter II. He’s such a down to earth guy who respects everyone, hustles everyday, and is incredibly talented. I met James through Shannon McGrew (Nightmarish Conjurings owner) and was thrilled when he gave me an opportunity to …

The name Lucky McKee probably sounds familiar to you. He did, after all, give the horror world the cult favorite, May (2002 – read our retro review here). Following up that gem were his contributions to Masters of Horror and Tales of Halloween (2015 – read our review here). But …
