by Kayley Viteo Everyone has movies from their childhood that for whatever reason stay with them for the rest of their lives. During the day, I spent my childhood much like any other “normal” girl, which basically boiled down to watching Disney animation and any sort of animal movie I could get my hands on. [...]

by Marc Patterson I was inspired by a recent article by Drew from B Through Z, where he highlighted his top ten favorite scary music videos, to look at some of what I thought were the most sickening moments in music video mayhem. To be fair – Drew wasn’t necessarily going for “sick and depraved” [...]

Article By: Marc Patterson   Horror has a bad rep for being overly misogynistic.  I’m not going to defend that sentiment, because for a good deal, it is right on.  Not in every case, but in a lot of cases it is.  And the same as with mainstream cinema you expect to see full frontal [...]

    5.  Comet A Comet you say?  Who on Earth would ever believe a comet can cause the dead to walk again?  This would be the suspected cause (among many others) from the godfather of all Zombie movies Night of the Living Dead.  Unlike the later causes on this list, this would be the [...]

  The werewolf – alongside the vampire, perhaps the most enduring monster in the annals of classic, fantastical horror. And yet, we see comparatively few werewolf movies.
