There’s a lot going for the new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT as we just learned that Warner Bros. has shifted the project to their New Line division, who hope to re-spark the studio with a focus on the horror genre. With an aim to deliver a two film adaptation of King’s classic novel and a director like True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga at the helm, I’d say this one is off to a fantastic start. But perhaps the most searing question surrounding the film has to be the big question mark on who is going to take on the iconic role of Pennywise, who was terrifyingly portrayed by Tim Curry in the 1990 miniseries.

Why isn’t Santa Claus a horror icon?

How has this not happened yet? Seriously, how does a mentally disabled kid who gets drowned in a lake, a child molester and a psychopath who escapes from a mental hospital all become legends in the horror genre while the jolly old fat guy, who sneaks into our homes while we are sleeping every year, not even get a single good horror film? Sure, we saw a madman dress up as Saint Nick in Silent Night, Deadly Night go around and skewer naked women with dear antlers, but that’s not what I’m talking about here! I’m talking about Santa Claus, the man with a creepy little army of elves and a flying sled powered by blood thirsty reindeer, that guy. Continue Reading…

Which horror film do you hope never gets remade?

With the most recent announcement of Hammer Films remaking The Abominable Snowman, and plenty more on the horizon, it’s actually hard to believe that there are any horror films left to be remade. Poltergeist, Hellraiser and The Mummy are just a fraction of the horror films recently announced to get the remake treatment. For the longest time I dreaded the day that we would ever see a remake of Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist because in my opinion it’s one of the most perfect horror movies ever made. It still holds up quite well today and remains one of the very best haunted house movies the genre has ever seen, so why would we need a remake? Well, as you guys know, a Poltergeist remake is most definitely happening, and it will be at the hands of director Gil Kenan. Continue Reading…

What do you look for in a horror film?

When it comes to the horror genre there are many different ways to inject fear into the audience, and that’s what makes it so damn special. I, myself, tend to sway towards two different types of horror films: Those of the slow-burn variety and flicks that have a hefty dose of the red stuff—I’m rarely disappointed during a moment like the lawn mower scene in Dead Alive or when we see Victor Crowley tear someones face in half in Hatchet. Slow-burns can also be some of the most effective horror films out there as they build eerie tension before unleashing 2 hours worth of terror in the last few minutes. Continue Reading…
