“Welcome to Stake Land, kid.” Director Jim Mickle and co-writer/lead Nick Damici have gone beyond the “horror” and “vampire” genre cliches to create a post-apocolyptic road movie that kicks major ass. Stake Land builds you up with scenes of laughing, ice cream and dancing that give the characters and audience hope of a New Eden [...]

This Slash & Dine post is a very special one for us. We would like to dedicate it to our beautiful friend Jess, who married the nicest mean guy we know, Steve, earlier this year on Friday the 13th. We can’t think of a better way to show them and the rest of our horror-lovin’ [...]

Every 4th of July, we like to celebrate our freedom in the good ole US of A with some great food, cold beer & a damn good movie. This time around, we teamed up with Brutal As Hell’s Editor-In-Chief, Marc, to bring you recipes for the masterpiece that is Jaws. Since we’re pretty sure you’ve [...]

“No false metal.” Trick or Treat, not to be confused with the 2007 Trick ‘R Treat (although that’s a great film too), is a hugely underrated flick. Remember Skippy from Family Ties? Well, he plays an entirely different role in this as our main metal head, Eddie “Ragman”, spending his teenage days blasting heavy metal [...]

There are a lot of films out there about Charles Manson, but none compare to the greatness that is The Manson Family. This unique, intense, acid trip of a film came from the visionary genius, Jim VanBebber. Before The Manson Family came along, VanBebber was making low budget movie magic with the works of Deadbeat [...]

They were warned… They were doomed… And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them. In 1980, a little boy from Camp Crystal Lake and his mother terrorized us all in what would become one of the best selling franchises in horror history, Friday the 13th. Over the next 29 years, we watched as Jason [...]

They’re back from the grave and ready to party! Return of the Living Dead is fucking awesome. If you’ve seen it, then you already know that, but for those of you that haven’t, let us elaborate. At a small medical supply warehouse, new employee Freddy gets the full tour of the facility from his boss, [...]

“Who are they? And what do they want?” There have been a few attempts from wrestlers to make a good movie, but none have come close to being as great as Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live (OK, maybe Hulk Hogan in No Holds Barred, but that’s up for debate). They Live takes place in [...]

If there’s one woman in this world that we admire (besides our moms and Dolly Parton, of course) it’s the Mistress of the Dark, Elvira. Who could forget that hair, that attitude, those jokes and those boobs?! Cassandra Peterson, AKA Elvira, has had one hell of a life. Before she became the horror hostess that [...]

“I’ll not rest ’til I have me gold. Curse this well that me soul shall dwell ’til I find me magic that breaks the spell.“ Usually St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t mean much to us, but we couldn’t resist getting festive for you when we thought about the 1993 film Leprechaun. After getting his gold coins [...]

by Nicole Mikuzis and Megan Owens There’s nothing better to us than spending a night watching a Hammer film. Take the usual Hammer layout- incredible set designs, Shakespearean acting and hot naked Victorian chicks, add in a gypsy, a dwarf, and some sexually charged, blood-sucking animals and you’ll know the Vampire Circus is in town. [...]

Let Me In… it’s freezing out here. It seems like recently everyone has experienced the joy and sheer horror of snow (even the great state of Texas). Out in Trashville, where we live, the snow gods cursed us with 3 feet in one week. Now, we’re not ones to complain, so we like to look [...]

“They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!” If you’re like us and love to stay in to watch movies and gorge on food (if you’re reading this, we’re pretty sure that’s the case), then check out Troll 2 for a certified fun time. First off, let’s start by saying [...]

Bitter Feast (2010) Distributed by: Dark Sky Films / Glass Eye Pix Release Date: January 4, 2010 Directed by: Joe Maggio Starring: James Le Gros, Joshua Leonard, Amy Seimetz, Mario Batali, Larry Fessenden Review by Marc Patterson You might say Bitter Feast is a film with “bite”. You could say it was a sumptuous film [...]

“Agnes, it’s me Nicole and Megan.” Hey boys and ghouls! Slash & Dine is back and with new hosts! We’re Nicole and Megan and we promise to bring you great movies, great food and a great time! We can’t wait to share our recipes and gush over gore with you. We want to start this [...]

by Shannon Bucaro House of Seitan and Waffles Talk on the Phone. Finish Your Homework. Watch TV. Eat Some Chicken and Waffles. DIE! Yeah, I know what you all are thinking, “Is this really a new movie getting some spotlight on a Slash and Dine column?” Fact is, I don’t think most horror movies nowadays [...]

Cannibal Kebobs Rip out! Barbeque! Devour! by Shannon Bucaro If I had one wish, I would kidnap the world and lock everyone in a room that streamed Cannibal Holocaust 24/7 on a big screen TV. Why on earth would someone do this, you ask? It’s simple, you see: too many people have not seen this [...]
