Fancy a Descent Through Hell Itself? 'The Void' Is Waiting for You
A bloodied man, a dilapidated hospital and a cult of worshipers carrying daggers are just some of the ingredients in the cosmic horror flick #TheVoid. It's the latest in this never-ending '80s-inspired train of movies. The difference? This one actually kicks some serious ass! It's from the warped imagination of VFX and design masters Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie. Does it honestly deliver the horror goods, you ask? Well, you better hold on to something as I take you through this psychological mind-bender personally.

Before 'TWD,' Norman Reedus Faced Horror in John Carpenter's 'Cigarette Burns'
If you're super fans of #NormanReedus on #TheWalkingDead, then you've patiently waited for his return in the second half of Season 7. Some of you out there can't get enough of his portrayal of bad-boy biker Daryl and have stated you'll even "riot" if he gets killed on the show. I personally love TWD and can't wait to see what happens in the latter half of the season; Negan's not going to be easy to beat that's for sure.

Why 'Beyond the Gates' Failed to Deliver a True VHS Horror Masterpiece
Hardcore horror fans of that bygone era where you could stroll into your local video store and pick up a couple of day rentals have no doubt heard of this film. #BeyondTheGates is a retro-feel movie set in the pre-digital era, and at first glance, looked to be a cult classic. However, after watching the movie myself, I have to say it fails to deliver on its promises and ironically has become yet another movie that deserves to become a deleted title, much like the low-budget horror that used to get churned out back in the '80s video boom. So hold and tight and let's reel through this movie and check out what holds it back from greatness.

'Hellraiser II' Missing Scene Finally Sees the Light of Day!
If your a true Hellraiser fanatic, you've no doubt heard of that almost mythical missing scene from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. If not, check out theses stills of Pinhead and the female cenobite in blue scrubs. These images (which are absent from the film) have been featured in a lot of overseas artwork. Naturally it's got fans everywhere asking: "Where can we find this deleted scene?"

Witch Do You Prefer: 'The Blair Witch Project' Had A Ton Of Alternative Endings
The horrorverse is unanimous that 1999's #TheBlairWitchProject is one of the best films to grace our screens. Kickstarting the found footage obsession in #horror films, The Blair Witch Project paved the way for box-office successes like REC and Cloverfield, evolving into the likes of the Paranormal Activity films. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez's film terrified cinema-goers to the point of fainting and went on to become one of the most successful independent films of all time on a budget of just $60,000.

Making A Splash: Director Reveals The Insane 'Deep Blue Sea' Sequel We Nearly Got
Jaws, Sharknado, that episode of Friends with the shark porn, there have been some great finned foes brought to our screens, however, one sticks out as nugget of '90s campness. #DeepBlueSea, Renny Harlin's #scifi #horror, made a splash in mid-1999 and brought #ThomasJane, Saffron Burrows, and #SamuelLJackson fin to face with some super-intelligent sharks. I still stand by the statement that Russell Franklin is one of the best Jackson roles out there, and I would rather wrestle a shark than refute that claim.
