When done right, haunted asylum movies work wonders at scaring the pants off me (wouldn’t you like to be around when that happens!!). Movies like Session 9 set in abandoned mental hospitals utilize creaking doors, dark corridors, archaic “treatment” implements, peeling paint, old toys and debris to create an atmosphere of loneliness [...]

“Well I let their teeny minds think
That they’re dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
Cuz Halloween is everyday
It’s everyday
O, why can’t I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that’s served?
Why can’t they see they’re just like [...]

Six strangers, led by a helpful tour guide, take a VIP tour of Ultra Studios as they all have received special tickets that allow them unrestricted access through the studio grounds. They stop off at the famous “Hysteria House,” where the apparently super-famous horror film Hysteria was shot.
They look around, explore, take pictures [...]

The mind is a weird thing. After all these years, many of us are still trying to understand how it works. Why are some of us challenged? Why do some of us possess a sixth sense? Are there really people who are able to predict the future, see ghosts, move things, and [...]

I’ve never really been a big fan of the “when animals attack” sub-genre. The characters in these films are usually stupid (and deserve to die) and they usually end up getting killed by an animal much smarter than them. I always hated how this far superior animal was simply killed in the [...]

The Viscera Film Festival is entering its second year as the place for female horror filmmakers to showcase their work. It allows women a place to be celebrated and recognized for their contributions to a genre that is so male dominated. While this year’s festival is already accepting entries from female filmmakers, [...]

Anytime I’m channel surfing while relaxing on my sofa in front of the television, I sometimes stop on the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet whenever they show a special of When Animals Attack. These shows just prove that humans and the rest of Mother Nature just can’t seem to get along with [...]

Posted in Horror Reviews on July 11th, 2008 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
Neon Maniacs is a delightful, though flawed, film that’s a mix of Nightbreed, Monster Squad and Street Trash topped off with a helping of green Ghostbuster-like slime. It’s no where near as good (or even half as good) as any of the previously mentioned film I’m so loosely comparing it to, but [...]

The Hearse is a fun old spookfest from 1980 that is chock full of atmosphere (and, unfortunately, flaws) and has a killer hearse (ummm…literally!)! This little-seen gem features Trish Van Devere as Jane Hardy, a schoolteacher from the big city that’s recently been through a tough divorce and her mother’s death, leading [...]

The year was 1984…
We had just made contact with the Martians. We had just found the cure for cancer. Racism and sexism were completely abolished…
And a couple of loc’d out brothers from the swinging state of Minnesota named Joel and Ethan Coen made their film debut with the chiller Blood Simple. I don’t [...]
