Film review : #Alive
I must survive. I had nothing but words of praise for the movie “The night eats the World” or “La Nuit a dévoré le monde”. A quirky film about a Parisian who suddenly wakes up in a Paris occupied by zombies. “#Alive” (original title “#Saraitda”) is the South Korean version. The only difference is that the zombies are portrayed more explicitly here. About the French version, I said that non-zombie movie aficionados could watch it without worrying about leaving skid marks in their underwear every time such a hollow-eyed creature appears around the corner. This rule does not apply to “#Alive”.

The Fog: Still Terrifying After 40 years....
It's hard to tell what constitutes a good scary movie today. Now that technology has caught up with out imaginations, we can produce nearly any visual we choose, be it dinosaurs, on screen amputations, or whatever that jerky thing they do in The Ring and The Grudge is called.

'Paranormal Activity' Is Still This Generations Most Influential Horror Film
I have always been intrigued by the paranormal and unexplainable horror of the world. The anxiety that it presents and chills that you get from watching movies, TV, or even amateur videos was always fun for me growing up and still remains to this day as one of my favorite types of media.

An Introduction To 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown'
I discovered The Town That Dreaded Sundown two years ago, and since then it’s become a staple on my proverbial Halloween dinner table. I was introduced to writer and director Charles B. Pierce thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and a special little film called Boggy Creek II: And The Legend Continues. Pierce, of course, also directed Boggy Creek I, but I haven’t gotten around to seeing that one yet. He also directed and wrote The Town That Dreaded Sundown, which, if you’ve seen Boggy Creek II, will throw you for a bit of a loop. Because while--despite my love for it--Boggy Creek II isn’t a good film, per se, The Town That Dreaded Sundown is, in its own right. At least, I remember it being good.

Why ‘The Craft’ should be on your movie list this year.
As a younger child, I absolutely loved horror films. I couldn’t tell you why, as I’ve always been the jumpy kind, even being startled when someone walked in the room suddenly. As I grew older, though, I simply came to terms with the fact that horror wasn’t for me. I still liked movies with supernatural focuses, but stayed away from the full-on horror. Slashers, thriller and suspense, I wanted none of it.

Horror Classics: Lust for a Vampire
In spite of its mixed reception, The Vampire Lovers was successful enough to prompt two sequels. Both were released in 1971 but for now we'll focus on the first of the two - Lust for a Vampire.

Slasher Classic Versus Actually Scary
Nostalgia Versus Actually Scary Every Halloween; and even during other more neutral months, I love to watch the one movie I will forever call a “Classic.” That movie… is; Nightmare on Elm Street. I am talking about the original series of movies that came out in the 80’s and 90’s. In the years that they were released; they kept many children up at night and refusing to go to sleep. Many nightmares were had; the irony not escaping anyone, given the name of the movie franchise. These movies were scary! Even the predictable deaths in each movie, would still make you jump and have you looking around as you took your bathroom break and had to walk down the hallway of your own house. The effects and all out gore were groundbreaking in their day and considered impressive, though by today’s standards, they are far below the standard. Despite showing their age, and even though most of us know exactly what happens next, we still sit with our eyes glued for each scene. That is what makes it a classic. Besides, let’s face it; anything staring Robert England, is going to be creepy, if not downright scary. His portrayal of Freddy Kreuger in this franchise is easily just one of the reasons it went down in movie history and will forever be a classic.
