The House of the Devil – review

THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL It is an interesting trend in horror these days, the pull away from modernism and the move towards nostalgia. It is as if the '80s and '70s are hallowed horror ground where all the classic horror films were made. While I can appreciate a move towards realism and better film-making,… Continue reading The House of the Devil – review

ANTICHRIST – review

ANTICHRIST Well, if you can say anything about ANTICHRIST it is that it earns every ounce of its controversy.

The Opening Night Jitters – a Halloween story

The Opening Night Jitters Billy put the last body in place and let out a long breath. It was done. At least his part in it. Beyond the zombies and the skeletons wasn’t his problem, that was Mark’s job, and if Mark was still making eyes at Dani, well, that sir, wasn’t his problem, now… Continue reading The Opening Night Jitters – a Halloween story
