Without question the crappiest movie featuring vampires I ever saw was 2010’s VAMPEGEDDON. No question about it. But. The people involved in VAMPEGEDDON knew they were making a piece of detritus. They never tried for anything else. At no point in the creative process did anyone associated with this junk suffer from any pretense that…
Sundance Screws Zombie Marks
The Sundance Film festival is screwing itself, too, with their decision to not hold the event this year, to just “go virtual”. Their desire to protect prospective audience members from the Omicrona is admirable, but in a world where people have largely returned to once again gathering in public, including going to the movies, is…
HALLOWEEN KILLS Makes for a Blue January
The divisive (for some, not for the true fans) but undeservedly so HALLOWEEN KILLS has just released on BluRay. I wants it. I look forward to seeing what some of you livestreamers have already seen, which is a bookoodle of special features and behind-the-scenes content. You can see a little of it right here. Or…
Freddy and Michael Lived – er, Make That ‘Killed’ – in the Same House!
Courtesy of HORRORS HALLOWED GROUNDS host Sean Clark, and indirectly to us by way of Bloody Disgusting, comes this scoop. And it’s a fargin’ huge scoop for us Slasher-lovin’ Monsterkidz. Here’s the skinny: While visiting the house used in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET as Nancy’s house (mostly for exterior shots), Mr. Clark realized that…
The FRIDAY the 13TH Lawsuit is Settled. When Will We See Jason Again?
Entertainment lawyer Larry Zerner, who portrayed the character of Shelly in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3, provided us with an update on the litigation involving the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise. “It’s 4 pm and I still don’t see a cert petition filed with the Supreme Court in the Friday the 13th case. What does this…
Sony Moves MORBIUS Again!
I was right! Boom! I called it! You read it here first, peeps! Seven times. Seven freakin’ times. If any movie has been delayed more than MORBIUS I’m not aware of it. Seven freakin’ times. That’s ridiculous. Sony cannot use the Omicrona as an excise this time. SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has conclusively proven that…
Nicolas Cage will be a Malignant Dracula
Things are looking promising that we will get the real Nicolas Cage and not his evil untalented doppelganger starring as Count Dracula in the forthcoming film RENFIELD. Just listen to some of his words concerning the project: “I want it to pop in a unique way from how we’ve seen it [the character] played. So…
In Memoriam: Elizabeth Miller
Professor Elizabeth Miller has passed away. If her name is not immediately recognizable to you, that’s okay. That just means you aren’t seriously into scholarly study of Bram Stoker and his novel DRACULA. If you are a student, however, then Ms. Miller needs no introduction. She was, and this is no hyperbole, one of the…
Superheroes and Slashers
When I was growing up, life revolved around wrestling, comicbooks, and Horror movies. And I used to play with makeshift action figures I’d fashioned into my Horror idols like Jason and Freddy—these were the days before you could actually own real figures of the icons; they simply didn’t exist—having them get in the miniature wrestling…
Batman and Christine
Talk about a perfect match. Christine—we’re talking about the car, here—with her tendency to become attached, nee fixated, on her male owners, would make for the perfect Batmobile for our Caped Crusader. Batman needs just such a vehicle. She’d make for the ideal partner for him, able to think for herself, able to assist him…
