Retro Slashers

From the forthcoming FRIDAY THE 13th (2009) KILLER CUT hitting DVD/Blu-Ray on June 16th, Jason’s face revealed! In this scene, it’s still kept in shadows and seen very sparingly.

I woke up this morning to the very sad news that Mr. Edmonds passed away. Most will remember Edmonds for his unabashedly envelope pushing Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, which is so… uh… scandalously unique, it’s cult status remains almost untouched.
However, I remember Don most for his slasher films Terror on Tour, which he [...]

And Retro Slashers totally called it.

I believe it was an act of mercy that the TERROR was dropped from the TRAIN, even if the reasons for de-titling the “remake” were to cash in on HOSTEL. Ironically, even if the film made it off the shelf anytime soon, torture-porn is so out of vogue now. Anyway. Here’s the trailer for the [...]

These Code Red titles flew so low they even missed my “Red Radar” – this past week saw the release of two EXPLOITATION DOUBLE FEATURES. And while the special features have been paired-down to accommodate two films on one disc, each collection has something new/exclusive to make a purchase worthwhile.

Several new shots in this video, which show that Hobo Myers also walks like a Hobo. I feel sorry for him and want to point him to the nearest soup kitchen. HALLOWEEN 2: Anticipated Horror Sequel, or Modern-Day Parable For Social Injustice?

It’s New Coke! I mean, New Freddy. Here’s a slightly cleaned up n’ cropped version of one of the latest set of “spy” location photos which would normally be as bland and snooze-worthy as the rest except one has captured Jackie Earle Haley as Human Freddy. Not much to praise or critique at this point [...]

Fango posted that SORORITY ROW (2009) has received a “Hard R” by the MPAA. The film was previously assumed to be going the PG-13 route, inspired by the success of PROM NIGHT. I personally don’t get the allure of calling a film’s rating a “Hard R” – I mean, does anyone ever lamment they got [...]

For the first time since the 80’s, MTV are relevant to me – as they’ve posted this clip from Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN 2. It’s the first indication of the film’s content so give it a view. If I were a betting man I’d say it’s a dream sequence.

This has been hailed as the “first” production photo from the set of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010), and just like with FRIDAY THE 13th (2009) they chose the most exciting shot to show off – the producers hanging by a cop car. Platinum Dunes, you’re under arrest for lame publicity!
Retro Slashers sentences you to [...]
