Holy shit! It’s been well over two months since I last put together an installment of “Blood Between the Panels” (or as I like to call it, “The Best Damn Horror Comics Review Column Written by Me), but I am back ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum, but since I’m all out of bubblegum I guess I’ll just review some more comics.
Now, before I really get into talking about some of the latest pieces of graphic horror fiction to cross my path, I suppose I should let …

It’s Alive (2008)
Studio: Millenium Films/First Look Pictures
Directed by: Josef Rusnak
Cast: Bijou Phillips, James Murray, Raphael Coleman, Owen Teale, Ty Glaser
Review by: Britt Hayes
Those familiar with the 1974 Larry Cohen classic killer baby film It’s Alive will undoubtedly be familiar with this story, and some may even be excited: Larry Cohen is credited as a co-writer of this 2008 remake of his own film. Instead of comparing and contrasting the two films, which would be tiresome and useless, I’ll just say this: the 1974 version of It’s Alive works for many …

Daybreakers (2010)
Studio: Lionsgate
Release Date: January 8, 2010
Directed by: The Spierig Brothers
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill, Willem Dafoe, Isabel Lucas
Review by: Britt Hayes
It’s the year 2019, and in the not-too-distant future vampirism has overtaken society like a disease. There are less than 5% of humans left alive, and it is now the sole objective of our military to hunt them down and bring them to Bromley Marks, a large corporation whose main income comes from keeping humans alive and farming them for blood to sell through their profitable blood bank. Working …

Welcome to the final part of our first annual holiday gift guide. I’m going to run things down a little differently in this edition. In the DVD and Blu-ray sections, I’ll start with bargains, move to regular priced items, and then to boxed sets and pricey editions (if any). For books, it’ll just be a veritable mix of comic books, novels, and the like, priced lowest to highest. Let’s get started, shall we?

In this Vincent Price three-pack, you get the original House on Haunted Hill, The Bat, and …

Studio: Focus
DVD Release Date: November 17, 2009
Review by: Britt Hayes
I’m not a huge fan of vampire movies, books, anything; but over the last two years, you might think I was with how much I loved Let the Right One In. It seems these days if you say you enjoyed a vampire film, everyone thinks you’re some sort of vampire fan girl/boy. In conversations with friends, I often hear them say “I don’t like vampire stuff, but I …

October has been an insane month for horror releases, for obvious reasons. There have been some great titles, and some awesome surprises, but looking at the grand scope for this month’s releases, I find myself underwhelmed. Here we are in our last week, and I think it’s the best yet:

Black Devil Doll
Holy shit.  While the artwork screams blacksploitation in the 70’s, this film came out last year. Just watch the NSFW trailer over on Youtube. Trust me, it will change your fucking life. “He’s a lover! He’s a …

Now Ghost House has also released a full synopsis:

Over at Bloody-Disgusting they have info on the cast for the 30 Days of Night sequel, titled 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. Mia Kirshner (The L Word, The Black Dahlia), Rhys Coiro (Entourage), Harold Perrineau (Lost), Diora Baird (Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), and Monique Ganderton have all signed for the film.
Not much about their roles has been leaked, but Kirshner will play a vampire known as Lilith (Bordello of Blood, much?), while Coiro will play a lead role. No information has been given on the return …

We’ve got a slew of releases this week, but don’t get too excited. Some of them are a bit lackluster, to say the least.

Blood: The Last Vampire
Marc assures me that this film sucks (get it? Shoot me), but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to see it. I watched the trailer again recently (before Drag Me To Hell, I believe), and something about the cinematography – which I’ll admit is a bit predictable in style – really caught my eye. Blood is based on the anime of the …
