Then It’s Not a Real Giallo
All the Colors of Giallo Review
Growing up in a large [and loud] Italian family, I remember my excitement when I first learned of the huge influence the culture has had on the horror genre. Learning, at a young age, that there were Italian filmmakers creating some of the most memorable films the genre has seen was something of great pride for me.

To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story Review
There is no arguing that one of the biggest names in the horror genre is Kane Hodder. The man is beloved by fans all over the world and rightfully so.

I love the cover art they chose for [...]
Doesn’t That Suck?
Snuff: A Documentary About Killing on Camera Review
I’m pretty confident when I say that 99% of the fans that form the horror community enjoy the genre because of the blood, gore, and violence depicted in the majority, if not all, of the films viewed on a daily basis. A great ‘kill scene’ is always sought after and the most talked about when it is found.

Not Just an Actress…
Invasion of the Scream Queens Review
I haven’t always been a huge fan of documentaries, but with productions like Going to Pieces, Nightmares in Red, White and Blue, and Crystal Lake Memories, among others, it’s hard for a genre fan to not get interested. Because I enjoyed those docs so much, I thought it’d be awesome to check out another one. This time around, the subject matter was scream queens. Donald Farmer’s 1992 documentary, Invasion of the Scream Queens, covers some of [...]
