Way back when, which “when” is October the ninth of 2018, Scream Factory unleashed the 1999 remake of William Castle’s House On Haunted Hill. The original was a Vincent Price classic, and in a time when remakes weren’t really a thing yet, this got a 1990s Scream-era makeover. And oddly, its been one of them […]

One night in the house, one million bucks, no questions asked. But there is a catch for anyone who accepts the offer.

Much like my counterparts feel about Burlesque, that’s how I feel about Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. I don’t know if I will ever catch this movie, but nevertheless, there is a cult of fans out there who are dying to see this for one reason or another. So for those fans, I salute you. […]
