This list is directly inspired by a post I did a few months back that featured 11 Alternate Horror Posters from Thailand. As I was looking this over last night and enjoying the artwork once again, I thought, “well of course there’s a sh*tload more of these out there.” They don’t only have to be from Thailand. So this morning I did some digging and found a few more that I liked. READ MORE
Horror Comedies are by far the most difficult horror sub-genre to execute. They’re also the most likely to fail commercially. While they’re one of my favorite sub genres and I wish there were more of them, when you combine those factors it’s a miracle there aren’t even less. READ MORE
Movie posters seem to be a dying art these days. One of the reasons we get so excited over a good one is because it’s almost as rare as seeing a unicorn. While boutique companies like Mondo regularly craft amazing and passionate one-sheets, it’s a business that the studios themselves rarely engage in anymore. I mean, Drew Struzan is still around, don’t you guys think he should be working more? As far as horror posters go, the 70′s and 80′s were obviously the halcyon days. READ MORE
We have heard your cries! MANY of you felt that the The Ultimate Horror Challenge wasn’t comprehensive enough! So we included an additional 20 films that round it out a bit more. Many of these are from your suggestions! But this still isn’t a list of every horror movie ever made. And it still doesn’t contain every major work of every horror auteur (there’s still no John Carpenter’s They Live or Wes Craven’s The Last House On The Left). READ MORE
This isn’t a list of every horror movie ever made. Nor does it contain every major work of every horror auteur (you’ll notice we didn’t include John Carpenter’s They Live or Wes Craven’s The Last House On The Left). Rather, this is a compendium of films that we feel – in one way or another – are essential viewing for every horror fan. Some are mainstream (Poltergeist), some aren’t (Cannibal Holocaust). It’s a broad sampling of key films from the genre. READ MORE

Some terrible news is spreading through geekland today as reports are flooding through Twitter that Dan O’Bannon has passed on. He was 63. Dan wrote the screenplay for one of my all-time favorite horror movies, Alien, and also directed the popular rockin’ zombie flick Return of the Living Dead.

Most people get a little nervous when they have to go to the doctor—but horror fans have more reason than anyone else. With the release of Pathology – a film about demented med students—coming up next month, I got to thinking about all the psychopathic, murderous, or just plain “not right” doctors we’ve seen throughout the history of horror movies. Let’s face it, there have been quite a few docs up on the silver screen who had no business getting past med school (unless it’s that Evil Medical School that Dr. Evil went to). Anyhow, here are ten nutjobs who give new meaning to the word “sawbones”… (more…) READ MORE

I just watched Return of the Living Dead last week, and it’s amazing how fun that movie still is today- we can only hope the next two sequels have the same ‘stay’ power. The Sci-Fi Channel is set to premiere both Return of the Living Dead sequels, Rave to the Grave and Necropolis, on October 15th, so we decided we should hit up star Aimee-Lynn Chadwick for a one-on-one interview! Click the link and enjoy. For pictures, synopses, posters and trailers from both sequels, click the appropriate title above. (more…) READ MORE
Although both Return of the Living Dead sequels, Rave to the Grave (review) and Necropolis (review), don’t appear o be going theatrical anymore, the official website has released two brand new posters from the film that airs on the Sci Fi Channel October 15th. In addition to the new posters, they’ve also released two brand spanking new trailers for the films. They still haven’t removed the ‘theatrical’ wording, so maybe we’ll still see it in a few theaters. Both films star Peter Coyote, read on for a look at the posters… (more…) READ MORE
Wow do we have a special treat for you thanks to scooper Sluggy Sluggerson! Inside you’ll find the first ever review of James Gunn’s upcoming Slither, which was written after a special test screening (meaning the film isn’t 100% completed). In Gunn’s film, Starla enlists the help of Bill to deal with her husband, Grant. Grant is infected with an alien plague, which has turned him into a slithering, flesh-eating creature. As Grant’s murder spree evolves from pets to people, the disease threatens to overrun the town with slithering, worm-like creatures. Now it’s up to Starla and Bill to stop the plague before it spreads further and kills everything on Earth. Read on for the review!!! (more…) READ MORE
