Back in 1991, everyone’s favorite B-horror company, Full Moon entertainment, released a little film (literally) called Dollman. The film featured a hard-boiled, intergalactic detective name Brick Bardo, who arrives on earth and decides to fight crime. The catch? Brick is only 12 inches tall! Now, with the release of Dollman Kills the Full Moon Universe #1, Full Moon Comix FIRST EVER RELEASE is taking Brick from the streets to your local comic shop in an all-out battle against the various villains of, you guessed it, the Full Moon universe…

All of us have had THOSE dreams. The ones that feel so real, you wake up and immediately call or check on someone/something to make sure that what you dreamt didn’t really happen. The ones that plague me the most happen to involve teeth. Nothing like dreaming you lost all of your teeth and frantically waking up to check that they’re all still there. But what if your dreams were a terrifying vision of what was to come? This is the basis for the plot of Netflix’s new film, Extinction… [Review] "Dead Night" is a creepy yet convoluted terror full of chilling practical effects7/30/2018 If you’re a horror fan, you likely miss the practical effects creature features of the eighties. Ever since the late nineties, CGI has dominated our beloved scare fests. Gone are gooey monsters and sticky corpses roaming screens drenched in blood. It’s debatable that practical effects may be making a bit of a comeback in theatrical horror, but if you want to find the really good stuff these days, the indie scene is where it’s at. And for those of us that miss the FX of the eighties, there may not be a better callback this year to that delicious decade than Dead Night… Sharks. I'm terrified of them. Always have been. Always will be. As described by Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws, sharks do three things: They swim. They eat. And they make little baby sharks. They're the perfect killing machine, and therefore, the perfect real life monster for horror films. My psychologist and I can work out why I'm so afraid of these swimming meat-grinders another time. Instead, in honor of Shark Week, I thought it might be fun to look at the history and evolution of the shark horror film... If you’re a King fan, then you know that Stephen King has been connecting his novels to each other for decades, from subtle references to even appearing as a character himself. When Castle Rock was first announced by Hulu, many fans, including myself, wondered just how it was going to finally bring to fruition the universe that King had been building for so long. Now that it has finally released on Hulu, we have our answer, and the early results are thrilling… If you enjoy horror comics and you don’t know the name Cullen Bunn yet, it’s about time you learned it. Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, Pumpkinhead), is a prolific horror writer who, as far as I’m concerned, is the hottest name in horror comics at the moment. He blew readers away with Harrow County, and somehow found a way to completely reinvent Pumpkinhead. Both series have recently ended, but don’t worry, because Bunn has a new series out that is sure to impress. That series is Bone Parish… Human beings are fucked up. I’m not going to sprinkle sugar on the proverbial dirt cake. As a society, we have laws. As individuals, we have morals. But every person in the world, from the junkie taking a shit outside the Taco Bell in downtown LA to the Pope, all of us have “our thing”. You know what I’m talking about. That pit in our brain that we keep to ourselves. Our dirty little secret. Some are obviously much more severe than others, but the point is we all have it. Troma’s Industrial Animals looks to explore just how deep that pit can grow… An interview with Preston Fassel, author of "Our Lady of the Inferno" from Fangoria Presents!7/23/2018 [Review] "Unfriended: Dark Web" will make you think twice about the way you use the internet7/20/2018 The internet scares the shit out of me. I deleted my Facebook. I only started on Twitter a couple years ago. I don’t use Snapchat. I don’t use Instagram. I unplugged my Alexa as soon as I found out it might be recording private conversations and sending them out. Why? Because the deeper we dive into the abyss of a techno-functioning world, the more we allow our entire lives to be run by machines...and psychotic hackers using every device we have to watch us and track us. These are the fears which Unfriended: Dark Web plays off of perfectly… |
