Even if Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer isn’t the absolute scariest movie ever, it’s certainly one of the bleakest. Because of that, director John McNaughton didn’t have the easiest time getting it released. Its original X-rating was partly due to its violence, of course, but the film very often …

Being an artist is stressful. The highs and lows of the business can drive someone insane. More so the highs because when we come down from them, the lows hit harder. However, though it’s something that defines us. We find our voice and what we want to do. Being an …

Ah, Team Building Exercises. During my five year tenure at a corporation, I can honestly say that nothing, NOTHING, was more torturous that than those horrific hours spent “bonding” awkwardly with my co-workers.

I’ve been a long-life horror fan and it all began with A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Yes, I’m a diehard Fredhead and I’m damn proud of it. My mom first introduced me to horror and ANOES around the age of 5 and I’ve never looked back. It’s always been …

As soon as I saw the official trailer and key art for Netflix’s Nightbooks, I knew it would be right up my alley as I love dark fantasy stories. The film was directed by David Yarovesky with a screenplay by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, which is based on the …

As much as I love vengeful creature features and misshapen monster films, there’s just something about mentally unbalanced humans in horror movies that get to me. There are really people out there like that, and there’s no telling what they’ll do. So, when I read the synopsis for Andrew Bassett …
