666: The Beast
Unlike its predecessor, the campy gore-strewn 666 THE CHILD, this Asylum-made sequel plays its apocalyptic good against evil scenario straight and forgets to contrive the kind of juicy creative “accidents” that made the original fun. Which kinda poses the question...
The Reach – Book Review
I first got wind of writer Nate Kenyon when I was sent his first Leisure release BLOODSTONE earlier this year. It was a decent book that had a lot of spooky twists and turns and was very much like Stephen Kings THE SHINING in many respects and gave you that uneasy...
5 Dolls For An August Moon (5 bambole per la luna d’agosto)
It is not as if the Godfather of Italian Gore was beyond having a bad day, especially considering that he spent a large portion of his career fighting restrictive shooting schedules and nonexistent budgets. Yet, we are nonetheless left to judge what appears before us...
Sparrow Rock – Book Review
The majority of books that I read all tend to have an apocalyptic theme to them. Everything from a zombie invasion, funky viruses, mutant bugs and nuclear explosions all seem to fit into the plot of those books. Sparrow Rock features both a nuclear explosion and...
5 Dead on a Crimson Canvas
I have a friend who has worked with Joe Parda on many films and is a good friend of his, I personally Have never meet the man but have had the opportunity to review a film he made a few years ago call "Machines of Love and Hate" which has yet to find a market here in...

Old Flames – Book Review
Jack Ketchum is one of those horror writers whose name no one will ever forget. All the Ketchum novels I have had the pleasure of reading all left me haunted by the horrors that he not only inflicts on his characters, but the pain and suffering he puts his readers...
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
It is obvious that vampire films are very popular right now: everything from the Twilight series to the Swedish hit Let the Right One In. It’s safe to say that the vampire is back and shows no signs of going away. One of the best vampire films of recent years has been...
Mean Streets – Book Review
Gord Rollo and Gene O'Neill are both heavy hitters in the horror game. The praise their work has received and the quality of their novels and short stories has made both of them known names in the horror community. Knowing this, I was excited to read "Mean Streets," a...
30 Days of Night
30 Days of Night is from the groundbreaking graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. What could go wrong with a movie that was produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures? Plenty! Niles’ graphic novel is a visually insane look at the classic vampire. Set in...
The Jigsaw Man – Book Review
I'll admit that when I first saw the title, THE JIGSAW MAN, I thought I was going to dwell into a land that coincided with the SAW movies. I really thought it was going to be a book that dwelled in the unoriginal void of horror book and films that we're all used to...
3 Dead Girls
This review will probably going to be a short one, mainly because I didn't realize that this DVD actually contained three short films that I have already reviewed for the site. Honestly I thought that this was director Christopher Allen Broadstone's first feature...
Crimson – Book Review
There are some books that are just so good that when it comes time to write reviews about them I'm simply left speechless. Gord Rollo did this to me with the first book I read of his titled THE JIGSAW MAN. This may sound familiar and if does not it's your loss because...
