Halloween Top 5: The Haunting

The Haunting is almost inarguably the most beautiful horror movie ever made. Despite that, the horror part of that sentence is fully accurate. Despite a gorgeous presentation, the movie is designed to be one of the most unnerving visual experiences in cinema

Halloween Top 5: The Evil Dead

Sam Raimi’s debut feature is an absolute game changer. Not since Romero’s Night of the Living Dead has there been a movie that so totally redefined what a genre was capable of. Not bad for a $300,000 movie shot in Nowhere, Tennessee

Dan Brereton: Some Thoughts About Monsters

They were the first things to ever scare me and the only things I drew as a kid with any confidence. As I get older, rather than outgrow them, I relate to them even more

The Long Good Friday 005

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.

Dead Alive

Not to get off track, but the world is filled with two kinds of people: those who think everything revolves around little paper documents, and those who carry spears. The spear bunch think that the document clique are nincompoops

Black Sabbath

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
