Fans of legendary director Wes Craven (Scream, The Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street) know well the terror mayhem inflicted by Horace Pinker, a diabolical mass murderer who harnesses electricity for unimaginable killing powers, from the 1989 horror cult classic SHOCKER. On September 8, 2015, Scream Factory™ is proud to present […]

It’s Halloween season and that means I watch a bunch of horror movies. I mean, I watch horror movies a lot any time of year, but this month is especially big. It’s like Christmas for a scary movie fan! My favorite long running horror movie franchise is A Nightmare on Elm Street. While Black Christmas […]
I’m a big big fan and lover of the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. I grew up with Freddy Krueger as well as Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Freddy became the absolute phenomenon of those guys though. He was everywhere. And he’s left an incredible legacy and a ton of fans. Never Sleep Again […]
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. The 4 hour, entire franchise spanning documentary on the Nightmare On Elm Street series is finally making the leap from DVD to Blu-ray next month! I have every bit of confidence in telling you that this is the best, most detailed and comprehensive documentary ever put […]
Scream Factory has provided us with a load of clips for their upcoming release of John Carpenter’s Body Bags. I’ve already reviewed the film HERE. The horror anthology brings plenty of laughs, scares and disturbing stuff. Fun for the whole family! It’s also a chance to catch Carpenter himself in rare form. He hams it […]
John Carpenter’s Body Bags is a an oft forgotten film of his and horror anthology. It was a Showtime movie back in 1993, back when it wasn’t as “cool” to have an original idea on Showtime (Showtime did do Psycho IV as well). In Carpenter’s mind, this was a one shot. But Showtime wanted this […]
Scream Factory continues to roll out and lay claim to King Of Jon Carpenter Blu-rays this November. They will be releasing what I can easily say will be a superior version of his cult classic Assault On Precinct 13 November 19 (this has already been released before through a different distributor). The week prior, they […]
Further proof that the 70s were a wonderful time for horror films, although this is less of a horror film and more of a series of unfortunate and really messed up events involving two teenage girls and a group of escaped psychotic killer convicts, The Last House on the Left is a film that pushed […]
I had a chance to watch the opening of Scream once I got home, after watching this third sequel. I think those 10 minutes may be the best thing that director Wes Craven has ever done. The sequence has a lot of fun playing with convention, ratcheting up the tension, and then paying off in […]
Gale, Dewey, Cotton, and Sidney have survived both the Woodsboro massacre and the murders at Sidney’s college but now face another killer yet again. While I really enjoyed the writing in Scream and Scream 2, it is a tragedy that Scream 3 was not written by Kevin Williamson since the quality dropped in this one. […]
Before the movie starts, we are treated to a preview for Scream 4, coming to theaters on April 15, 2011. Although I DVR almost every TV show I watch (and never watch the commercials), I am amazed this is the first I’ve heard of Scream 4. As the trailer plays I am waiting for it […]
I have to admit; it’s been awhile since I last visited the Scream franchise. Where do all the years go? I often find myself asking that question more than I care to acknowledge. But one thing’s for sure, no matter how many spoofs or rip-offs that have popped up in the horror genre over the […]
Remember the good old 90’s? How can you forget? You had the grunge movement…Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden…I could go on and on AND THEN you had the legendary Scream horror trilogy! Well guess what! The magic of the 90’s are back on Blu-ray this March! Just in time for April’s Scream 4, Lionsgate has announced […]
It’s the end of 2010, and with that I have a list of my favorite movies. The following list contains all of the films that I felt defined what I seek out in most films; namely that they have elements of entertainment, intrigue, or master craftsmanship when it comes to the filmmaking. Some may only have a few of these aspects covered, others may have all three bases dominated. Given my lengthy honorable mention section, there were certainly a good number of films that I had to choose from, but this list, I feel, represents the best of what 2010 had to offer theatrically:
Wes Craven deserves some kind of recognition this year. Despite having to suffer through such duds as The Last Airbender, Jonah Hex, and even a remake of Craven’s own horror classic A Nightmare On Elm Street, somehow, Craven has managed to write and direct the worst film of the year, which is the best thing […]
Horror movies have never been my cup of tea and if my memory serves me correctly, I believe the original Friday the 13th was my first exposure to the genre. It scared the hell out of me as I was somewhere around 6 or 7 years old. My parents would never let me watch that […]
