Retro Slashers

There was recently a rumor floating around that Full Moon’s Charles Band wanted to remake his original PUPPET MASTER (1989), but with no quote or source attributed it would have been a thin story to go on. But now we have verbal confirmation from the man himself, that it’s at least a valid project in [...]

Coming to DVD June 30 from Shriek Show, Byron Quisenberry’s SCREAM (1981 – AKA THE OUTING).
No one ever returns from this phantom town of TERROR! A group of friends on a rafting trip down a river stop in at an old ghost town to spend the night. Soon their rafts disappear, and then they begin [...]

I love CHILDREN OF THE CORN (1984) to death, but if only the technological marvels of Blu-Ray would allow an audio option to remove the grating childrens narration…
In 1984, a film adaptation of a chilling short story by horror master Stephen King terrified audiences and launched a film franchise that continues to this very day. [...]

Here you go guys. Despite the HARDKORE EXTREMENESS Zombie gets slagged for bringing to the HALLOWEEN franchise, I hope you will appreciate the very Carpenter-like shots of Myers in shadow.

Ah, CRY WOLF – very underrated, underappeciated whodunnit for all the same reasons APRIL FOOLS DAY was – heck, felt like a companion flick. But I digress. Actor from that film, Julian Morris stars in SORORITY ROW (2009), and speaks about the redux:
Were you familiar with the original House on Sorority Row, and, if so, [...]

As a slasher fan I was always attracted to HELLRAISER for the same reason I fell in love with NEON MANIACS – these films contained a team of franchise-ready creatures/killers.
Releasing today, Anchor Bay continue their standard of high-concept boxsets (like PHANTASM SPHERE, SLEEPAWAY CAMP SURVIVAL KIT), with the HELLRAISER PUZZLE BOX. You can grab it [...]

Director Rob Zombie has furnished the official Halloween site with yet another image of Tyler Mane as Michael Myers in his forthcoming H2. Whilst it is hardly packed with action, this is the best shot so far of the series antagonist. Initially reluctant to return for a follow up, Zombie stated; “When I [...]

Here’s the latest from Code Red DVD:
Actor-Director Peter Baldwin was kind enough to grant us an on camera interview for one of our upcoming titles that Peter starred in. Peter also granted us a lively audio commentary/interview with HOSTEL producer Scott Spiegel and our extras producer Lee Christian. The film is an Italian giallo also [...]

A documentary recently came to my attention that simply blew my mind, and I assumed might many of you as well, but I held off on reporting it, because I was sure–sure–someone else would get to it, probably right as I was typing mine up. It just seemed like such a given! Well, some days [...]

The RZ HALLOWEEN 2 teaser trailer is now playing in select NY & LA theaters. While it has yet to officially hit the internet, Entertainment Tonight aired it under the snipped-down guise of “exclusive clip” (which they always do), so here that is – when a better copy is up we’ll update this post. April [...]

Looking forward to the alternate ending, because the one they went with was the only buzzkill on the entire rollercoaster ride for me – specifically talking the final shot of the film here – the very moment they should have used to strengthen the presence of Harry Warden/The Miner, they wasted to set up [...]

TRICK ‘R TREAT is a longgg delayed slasher-friendly anthology flick, which should finally be hitting DVD in October. It’s said to be the best Halloween-themed horror flick since HALLOWEEN, which isn’t that much a stretch – for some reason, the holiday has never been truly exploited in cinema, with most preferring not to even attempt [...]

It seems every day there’s news on a new horror film, remake or sequel that’s happening. Good to hear when something’s not happening though. Like MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, which we told you back in February had ideas swirling between writer/buck-naked star Todd Farmer and director Patrick Lussier.
Quick update from Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors… Director [...]
