Horror is no stranger to crossovers or expanded universes. The Universal Monsters did it back in the 1930s-1940s, and there is of course, Freddy Vs Jason (our retro review). But there were almost a lot more of them that were all scrapped for one reason or another. Below, we’ll look at …

I’d like to start this review with a big thank you to Vinegar Syndrome. Not only do they share screener copies of their releases, but thanks to them, cult classic and strange films that are hard to find are preserved in the best quality available. Without their hard work, I …

A lot of us have watched possession movies like The Exorcist, which was perhaps the greatest demonic possession movie of all time. It’s universally loved and hated. Some think it’s perfect and others think it’s too real or scary. For me, my first demonic viewing was something I saw on …

It’s been five years since the unique film, Don’t Breathe, hit theaters, and it caused one of the most chilling public experiences for moviegoers. The entire premise of Don’t Breathe is that a band of robbers break into the home of a blind man, expecting an easy score. What they get …

Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise has developed quite the fan following over the years. From the original Evil Dead in 1981 to Ash vs. Evil Dead on Starz, fans can’t get enough of Ashley J. Williams and his boomstick. That rabid fandom is the subject of Hail to the Deadites, …

What do you get when you mix the Ghost Adventures TV series and Evil Dead (1981)? A new horror film called Portal (2019) that was written by Peter Dukes (Escape Room 2017) and Dean Alioto (Shadowheart 2009, Quarries 2016), and directed by Dean Alioto (Lizzie Borden Had An Axe 2004). The …

Some people are blessed with having brothers and sisters, while others are happy to have no families at all. Whatever the case may be, you can live out family moments vicariously through characters in horror… that is until they’re killed off, as is usually the case. On that note, let’s …

The Evil Dead is the first movie I ever saw that looked like a nightmare. And that’s not a rib-nudging insult. Honest. The Evil Dead doesn’t hide all its rough edges, but those edges are exactly what branded it onto the darkest, mushiest corner of my adolescent mind. The celluloid …

I have a confession: Friday the 13th is my jam. I’ve loved it since I was a kid growing up in the 80’s and discovered the franchise at an all-too-young age. I can’t even begin to tell you how stoked I am that my favorite unofficial holiday is here! I also …

We’ve seen it before. Horror franchises run out of ideas, and what happens? Our beloved psychos and monsters get sent into space. It happened with Hellraiser. Part 4, Bloodlines, had Pinhead in space. The fourth Leprechaun film also shot for the Moon. The Prince of Darkness went out of this world in Dracula …
