An American Werewolf in London has remained (and will remain – anyone who thinks THE WOLFMAN has a shot at knocking this movie off the hill should quit reading the secret messages in their spaghetti-os) the best werewolf movie in 30 years. This is due to a very simple reason. It is perfect.
Long before Creepshow and Trick ‘r Treat got back into the anthology business, one of the premiere names in fear tried his hand at a three part spook-a-blast. And i’ll be damned if it doesn’t work
The Long Good Friday is a continuing weekly column that tries to thematically or tangentially link together three varying films that would make one hell of an evening at the home theater. Most of these flicks are readily available from Netflix, Blockbuster or Amazon, and some are even available on demand. This is our attempt at a gateway drug to irresponsible movie-watching
DEEP RED was my first foray into the moist world of Dario Argento. His vision of what horror should look and sound like in the 70′s and 80′s is still unmatched in its intensity and beauty. For any of you not introduced to the man, Deep Red pretty much sums up why he was, at one time, untouchable
WILD ZERO is, to elaborate on a friend’s summation, like watching Andrew W.K. cover a Dio album. You’ve got alien spaceships, forbidden love, the walking dead, and guys with glowing green eyes – all played with a Gibson Explorer pushed through an amplifier turned to eleven
RE-ANIMATOR is more than just a great film. Its a barometer by which you judge your friends
I should really learn to stop being disappointed by horror critics. Just because a film has some genuinely creepy moments of blood and violence doesn’t make it a film worth watching. GRACE takes a very meticulously thought out premise and purpose and turns it into a mess of unsympathetic characters and illogical motivations
See the original ZOMBIELAND, take a little time to check out THE WALKING DEAD! A great series of graphic novels about how much humanity fails when they are not at the top of the food chain. Sold here at Convention Pricing!
To help some folks out, no this is not a website dedicated to horror. It’s just the month of October and we figured our first monthly feature would be to talk about all things horrific

Ignoring the fact that George A. Romero – yes, THAT George A. Romero – has publicly called this his favorite zombie film of all time (aside from his, natch), SHAUN pretty much exists comfortably in a class by itself when it comes to flicks featuring the walking dead
