Brand New Lords of Salem Trailer Shows Off Further Story Details

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013
Personally I’ve been a big fan of all of Rob Zombies movies, including the Halloween “remakes” he did as of late, plus one can’t deny how great of a film The Devils Rejects is. Because of this I am extremely excited to see his take on the Salem Witch history in his new film The [...]

The First Full Length Evil Dead Red Band Trailer is Here

Friday, January 4th, 2013
Today we get our first look at the official Red Band trailer for the upcoming Evil Dead movie and I think it’s quite impressive. Without going the reboot route I think this new movie will offer up a nice chapter in the Evil Dead series and based off of the look of the trailer we [...]

Keep the spooky good times rolling, with the Long Beach Comic and Horror Con this weekend.

“The Selling”

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012
One of the best things about being a Nerd is the ability to endlessly gloat amongst your friends (those that you have) about having been “the first” to discover something. Whatever the medium, there is nothing quite like the thrill of dropping an “uh…yah” on the uninitiated, before it was, you know, cool. With that [...]

Rob Zombie Releases the Lords of Salem Official Trailer

Thursday, October 4th, 2012
The first official trailer for Rob Zombie’s upcoming movie The Lords of Salem has been released and it definitely has the Rob Zombie look and feel to it. Now, many people in the horror film community have varying opinions on Rob Zombies previous films but I have enjoyed all his work. House of 1000 Corpses [...]

Return to Class of Nuke ‘Em High!

Thursday, September 20th, 2012
Thankfully, schlock luminaries Troma Enterprises have just wrapped principal photography on “Return to Class of Nuke ‘Em High”, a sequel to their disgusting cult classic “Class of Nuke ‘Em High“. The classic tale of mutant high schoolers run amok, RTCNEH is sure to ooze Troma’s trademark so-bad-it’s-good sensibility. And what’s gratuitous violence without a little [...]

The Massacre! With special guest Linnea Quigley (ROTLD)!

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — Rusty Nails is the hardest working man in horrorbusiness.  He’s left his mark all over the Chicago horror scene with his relentless, multi-annual movie festivals and marathons.  He’s put a lot of blood, sweat, and even more blood into these events, and it shows. I’m [...]

Our friends at Shout!

No one does more to bring nostalgia to the masses than Shout! Factory, and this collection should be no different. Also, it should [...]

“Asylum Blackout”!

Monday, May 7th, 2012
Every so often, a film comes along with a “why didn’t I think of that” premise. “Asylum Blackout” is one of those films. The tale of three would-be rock and rollers (one named Max!) who work at the cafeteria of an insane asylum, AB has all the makings of a classic (and original) horror movie. [...]

Attack the Block

Friday, January 20th, 2012
This has been a pretty monumental year in regards to horror-com-actioners (although this in itself is a bit of a misnomer, as almost all good horror movies have some humor). With films like Troll Hunter, Chillerama and Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil, gore-hounds everywhere have been treated to some of the best of these kinds [...]
