Every time I sit back and think on the fact that the horror host/hostess is a foreign concept to most horror fans of the younger variety, I get a little sad. Yeah, I live my life in some kind of nostalgia-bubble wrap, refusing to forget when horror was at its best, but what’s wrong with that? I mean, these were great times. Every weekend, you could look forward to a new, bad B-horror flick, hosted by an entertaining host the likes of Joe Bob Briggs, Svengoolie...and Elvira. While you may have missed out on the concept of spending Friday nights with your favorite horror host/hostess, any of you who stopped sucking on a bottle in the past ten years are in luck, because Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #1 captures the spirit of Elvira perfectly…

​Pardon the pun, but zombies have been done to death. Between The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, and whatever iterations of Dead are forthcoming, plus the multitude of other direct to VOD zombie flicks, the sub-genre has taken on the form of the titular creature it propagates; an overwhelming horde of flesh-eating fiends oversaturating our TVs. That’s why it’s so damn refreshing to see The Cured take a more unique approach to the undead…

Most horror fans will agree that the 1980’s is the greatest decade in horror history.  Film series like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Evil Dead and many others catapulted horror heroes, villains, and music into the American pop culture mainstream that still resonate to this very day.  Nothing seemed to be slowing down as the decade was coming to an end.  1989 saw the return of Freddy, Jason, and Michael Meyers while booting the Puppet Master series and seeing Stephen King’s Pet Sematary get it’s hotly anticipated big screen adaptation.  

You know, when I think of comics, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t web-slinging heroes or clown-faced maniacs. It’s horror. More specifically, horror anthologies from the good ole days of EC comics like Vault of Horror or Tales from the Crypt. To me, these anthologies were just as responsible, if not more so, for the survival and growth of the comic age. And then they were gone. But never fear, as it turns out House of Waxwork has brought back those types of horror anthologies back from the dead, and what would they be without a significant twist?...

​Turns out, there are other people in the world obsessed with werewolves just as much as myself, and The Howling fans will be happy to know that co-author of The Complete History of the Howling, Nick Stead, is one of those people…

If you grew up loving eighties horror as I did, then it’s likely you have an insatiable craving for it these days. The sometimes stunning, sometime goofy practical effects. The senseless gore and violence. The cheesy one liners. It all made the decade the best horror has ever seen. Lately, we’ve gotten some incredible films like Hereditary, It Follows, The Babadook, and so on, but none of them indulge that hunger for something a little more, well, stupid. Luckily, Another Wolfcop is here to give you more stupid than you can possibly handle…

​In this exclusive interview with The Complete History of the Howling author Bryan Curt James Hammond, I discover that Hammond and I have similar, controversial tastes in werewolf films…

This is why I love the horror genre. To me, it’s one of the few genres that takes CHANCES. That, when done well, is not just terrifying, but personal and, at its core, REAL. The Endless is one of those films…

Having just dropped on Netflix as an exclusive this past weekend, Tau has a lot going for it on the surface. It’s on Netflix, for one, which has been a pretty solid base for original and interesting concepts. It stars one of my new favorite actresses, Maika Monroe (It Follows), as well as Ed Skrein (Ajax from Deadpool), and Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, Hannibal)! And it involves murderous AI. Which is why it is so disappointing that Tau falls so hard on its coded face…
