Tomorrow, January 11th, marks the 30th anniversary of the New World Pictures film, Warlock. For many of you, you may be thinking, what the hell is that? And I don’t blame you. Warlock is by no means a traditional “great” horror film, but it is what I would call a B-horror classic, as it is the sort of witch’s brew blending cheesy writing and fun practical FX to form an entertaining concoction that we just don’t see enough of these days…

If you look closely, there has been one hell of an impressive shift in the horror genre, one that’s long overdue: While the genre has starred and celebrated women for a long time, fans are finally getting films that don’t just feature women, but are ABOUT women. Not about the girl who has to face the ominous driller killer, but about women facing real world problems which often go unnoticed in a horror film setting. The 6th Friend is the latest to join the genre…

Where I went to college (Columbia College Chicago, don’t go, terrible school), we didn’t have frats. Which was okay by me. The idea of being hazed, aka tortured for an indeterminable amount of time just to fit in with a bunch of bros, has never been my thing. After all, these are people who you are “earning” the friendship of by letting them do whatever they want to you. IFC Midnight’s Pledge shines a dark light on just how sinister of a practice this can be…

Every week, I drag my ass through the cheap, blood-drenched streets of streaming horror, searching for films I have never seen before in an effort to find a hidden gem down a dark alley of the web. This week, I dragged Neon Maniacs (1986) out of the sewers…

Have you ever wanted to be someone different? Of course you have. We’ve all wanted to be the famous movie star, or the hall of fame athlete, the renowned artist, the successful business owner, etc. Whoever you’ve dreamed of being, odds are it’s an enjoyable fantasy. But what if you had to become someone else, anyone else, or face the ultimate consequence of death? And what if you had to keep doing it? Lifechanger looks to explore that very concept…

[Review] "Terror Tales" comes off like three incomplete features

Long live the horror anthology film. In the past year or so, it seems as if this classic type of horror flick, one of my favorites, has made a huge comeback, with various anthologies such as Holidays, All the Creatures Were Stirring, and others roaring onto screens to give viewers a mixed bag of terror. Terror Tales is the latest to attempt to join a pantheon of anthology horror classics, yet misses the mark by a mile…
