Who doesn’t love The Evil Dead? It’s the cult classic that keeps on giving. It’s certainly been referenced in many films since its release, but it’s...
On New Year’s Day, someone asked us on Twitter about our favourite creature feature films. Ryan Schifrin’s Abominable was brought up, and it got me thinking...
Hellraiser. The film (and franchise) that put Clive Barker on the horror map. While the franchise itself has long moved away from its roots as gothic...
I know I’m not the only one who wore out their local Blockbuster’s VHS copy of Evil Dead 2. For me, it was the “Swallow this.”...
When you name your film “Hotel of the Damned” in this day and age, you’re going to get eyerolls from some horror fans thinking it’s another...
I’d consider my relationship with my younger brother to be your typical bond between siblings. Sure, we have our unique likes/dislikes, but we also share similar...
My first exposure to Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes was through the intertextual nod by Sam Raimi in The Evil Dead. And after hearing Bruce...
For better and for worse, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was the start of Freddy’s venture into MTV territory. No longer truly scary,...
You would think that a joint effort by five writer-directors would be a disaster. Apart from the typical anthology, I’ve never even heard of a film...
