When it comes horror anthologies, Halloween is often the holiday that gets all of the glory. It’s often around then that you see the mass viewing of films like Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, and of course, Trick ‘R Treat. Yet when it comes to Christmas, another popular horror holiday, we see much fewer examples of this. All the Creatures Were Stirring looks to change that, with a film that somehow finds a way to perfectly fit the cheery tone of the season…

[Review] "Video Palace" proves great sound design is still scarier than anything we see in film

Back in 1938, filmmaker Orson Welles (Citizen Kane) introduced his adaptation of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds as the 17th episode of the CBS radio program, “The Mercury Theater”. Revolving around the concept of aliens arriving on earth and taking over the planet, the broadcast was presented as a series of news broadcasts, and was so shockingly real, that some listeners actually went mad in a panic. People died. That’s the power of radio/audio. A power which Shudder’s Video Palace uses to perfection…

I’m a child of the 90s. That also means I grew up during the 90s slasher film era. After the slasher craze of the 80s, there weren’t that many ideas that felt fresh in the sub-genre. Every holiday had a horror film named after it. Numerous madmen had escaped mental institutions. And horror itself wasn’t that popular at the box office. The slasher film was becoming a thing of the past. Yesterday’s trash. And then Scream came along, reigniting our love for the simplistic sub-genre…
