Happy Thanksgiving horror family! It's that time of year again when we reflect on all that we're thankful for, and in the horror community, there was certainly a lot to get our fangs drooling and our bones rattling over this year...

​Happy holidays to everyone in the horror community! Our beloved Halloween has come and gone and now we experience a bit of a lull in seasonally motivated scares while we wait for the winter and Christmas themed movies to emerge [we need more Chanukah movies]. As we patiently wait for the onslaught of snowed-in and/or Santa inspired films, you have to ask “why” the list of Thanksgiving horror movies remains so short...

When Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell)'s son dies at thirteen weeks old, they adopt the transitive object therapy of caring for a baby doll in its place. The Servant, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, tells the creepy story of Dorothy going back to work after maternity leave, and hiring Leanne (Nell Tiger Lee), a religious girl of mysterious origin, to care for their surrogate son...

After a long and arduous journey from idea to conception-  In Search Of Darkness, written/directed by David A. Weiner, finally played on a big screen at this year's Beyond Fest...

The Dwelling, directed by Jeff Maher, is a tale of a cursed bed that kills anyone who leaves it after they touch it. It is a mixed and muddled story that happens to have some surprising strengths in imagery and the acting of its two leads, but it is too uneven for those elements to carry it beyond its very obvious flaws...

If you were to look at the cover art for Lionsgate’s The Driver, you’d see star Mark Dacascos (The Driver), standing in all black, holding a gun, with a grey background and nothing else, and it might be fair for you to think this is just another knockoff action film. But you’d be wrong. Because The Driver is just another knockoff action film, but with zombies!...

I’ve never hitchhiked. And that’s not just because of my common sense. Movies like The Hitcher (1986) and Road Games (1981) made sure I’d be too scared to ever offer my thumb or anything else on the side of the road. While I wouldn’t exactly say the hitchhiking subgenre is popular now, it was something that moviegoers took a ride with throughout the 70s/80s thanks to murder cases around the states, and the dissolving trust in our fellow humans...

I’m a fan of all of the Universal classic monsters. I’ve seen Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man multiple times and they’re all great films for various reasons. None of them, though, had an impact on me like The Wolf Man. I love the character of the werewolf; in whatever form or incarnation it’s in, whether it is a film, book or even a short story. One of my favorite movies of all time is An American Werewolf in London. For this reason, I was incredibly excited to watch Mark of the Beast: The Legacy of the Universal Werewolf...

If I were a fly on the wall in a film executives’ office with an excitable young director pitching a film idea conjoining elements from Predator (1987,) Unfaithful (2002,) and Stephen King’s Misery (1990,) I would be one, very excitable insect. Each of those films are, in some capacity, considered horror and they all play on very different fears. They invade our insecurities in very separate, sectioned off areas of our brains...

Most of us have had jobs that were nothing more than a monotonous grind. Every day, we would have the same conversations with the same people about nothing that brings us any happiness or improved self worth. And the recompense, no matter how much was given, only made it barely worth the time. It is into a job, and a life, like this one that we are thrown into with The Fare...
