David Cronenberg Week

Nate Yapp — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:37:45 -0400

Maybe it was merely coincidence that three of our writers were all working on reviews of films directed by David Cronenberg at the same time, but we could hardly ignore it. If we're thinking about Canada's King of Veneral Horror right now, it's equally likely that you are, too. It's not surprising that he's in our heads right now, since he has a way of sticking there.

Yuletide Terror: Deck the Halls with Horror Reviews

Nate Yapp — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 03:43:47 -0500

As December 25th draws near, we decided to add a little more red to the holiday season with five reviews of Christmas-related horror films. Appropriately (or inappropriately, if you will), three of them involve killer Santas.

Shocktober 2007: Mario Bava Week

Nate Yapp — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 04:01:00 -0400

Each week in October this year, as part of our Shocktober Classics event, we'll be featuring a different director who has significantly contributed to the horror genre, with new reviews for that director's films from Monday to Friday of that week. For our final celebration, we look at the Italian Maestro of the Macabre, Mario Bava.

Shocktober 2007: Lucio Fulci Week

Nate Yapp — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:38:28 -0400

Each week in October this year, as part of our Shocktober Classics event, we'll be featuring a different director who has significantly contributed to the horror genre, with new reviews for that director's films from Monday to Friday of that week. For the third week of October, we turn our gaze to Lucio Fulci, popularly referred to as "The Godfather of Gore."

Shocktober 2007: Wes Craven Week

Nate Yapp — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 04:08:44 -0400

Each week in October this year, as part of our Shocktober Classics event, we'll be featuring a different director who has significantly contributed to the horror genre, with new reviews for that director's films from Monday to Friday of that week. Our next master, Wes Craven, probably needs no introduction. Instead, we'll be posting a full biography for him in our Masters section on Saturday, October 12th.

Shocktober 2007: Roger Corman Week

Nate Yapp — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 04:59:11 -0400

The schedule for the month is as follows:

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Week

Nate Yapp — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 05:38:09 -0400

“He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn’t specify the point. He’s an extraordinary-looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No, sir; I can make no hand of it; I can’t describe him. And it’s not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.”
