by Annie Riordan Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. ~ George Santayana There’s an old saying that goes “Behind every great man is a great woman.” Well, behind every iconic horror movie monster is a shadow, small and mostly ignored, but there nonetheless. That shadow is a rough draft, a [...]

Article and Photos by Richard Romero This year, I was gratefully invited to attend the 2010 Chiller Eyegore Awards and mainstream press night at the grand opening for Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights 2010 season. Upon receiving the invitation, I felt like all of my wildest dreams were about to come true and by the [...]

by Marc Patterson Some say that Brad Pitt being officially tied to Max Brook’s film adaptation of World War Z is the big news of the day. It certainly is big news whenever a Hollywood titan signs aboard to star in a genre film, but hey – he did Inglorious Basterds didn’t he? I personally [...]

by Marc Patterson This past week several DVD release dates were announced as locked, loaded, and ready to go. Instead of giving each their own special post we figured we might as well includd into one nice little package for you all. Let’s take a look… Blood Creek: First up is Blood Creek, which hits [...]

by Marc Patterson I’m not a huge fan of reality TV. Then again… I’m not a huge fan of television in general. Unless it’s The Office or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia I typically pass. Strange coming from a guy who runs an entertainment blog, but such as it is. Today we learned that Tim [...]

by Marc Patterson Paranormal Activity closed the pre-Halloween weekend taking in $22 Million at the box office, up over a horror film contender SAW VI, which slid in over the family favorite Where the Wild Things Are, by a narrow margin, finishing at $14.8 Million. This comes as a shocker to many who expected the [...]

by Marc Patterson I have to say, there’s quite a bit of news that’s been sent a long to us regarding SAW VI that we haven’t posted.

Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith will both appear in flashbacks in the new film, [...]

by Britt Hayes That time is approaching – “If it’s Halloween, it’s Saw!” Yeah, it’s a cheesy gimmick, but it totally works for the franchise. Saw guarantees asses in seats every year, and I’ve been known to occasionally make an appearance. I haven’t seen the last two in the theaters, instead opting to wait for [...]

by M. Patterson Lionsgate just dropped this creepy, yet cool, poster on us for the upcoming SAW VI. Looks like a message is trying to be sent. “Trust in Him”. In part VI Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws [...]
