Christmas is just around the corner and I love holiday horror films. They deliver Christmas spirit along with plenty of mayhem and bloodshed. I recently watched the horror comedy Best Christmas Ever and loved the originality of it. The short is written and directed by Mike Lenzini (Beast: A Monster …

Elves in a late ’80s Christmas schlocker hopefully seeing a legit Blu-ray release soon. For now, you can find VHS copies or DVD-R copies lifted from the VHS. Elves, or more appropriately titled Elf because there is really only one of the evil critters running around in the movie, is …

Among the first films to introduce horror with a Christmas theme, Lewis Jackson’s 1980 Christmas Evil boldly brings horror to the holidays.

Elizabeth, Virginia, and Ralph are the last members of a wealthy, reclusive, and horribly inbred family cursed with a disease that …

Vampire movies have been done to death over the years, from the Blade series to the Hammer horror films to the cringe worthy Twilight films to the beloved Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Even the great movies such as From Dusk Till Dawn, John Carpenter’s Vampires and The Lost Boys follow …

Twenty years ago, on December 12th, was the release of Wes Craven’s revolutionary film that made sequels cool again: Scream 2. Written by Kevin Williamson, the film follows the survivors from the film Scream as they head to college. Much like the first film, the opening 10 minutes are a …
