I mean, pretty much there’s two kinds of slashers, yes? Not talking “Excellent” and “Trying to Cash In” here, but “Straightforward” and . . . “Playing with the Genre,” I guess you could say? Which, of course Scream didn’t start, as in, it wasn’t first-first—the Golden Age was more self-aware than we give it credit […]
Just re-re-watched this one, and, wow, holy everything, Batman, this is STILL my favorite horror movie of the year. By miles. Really? It’s the best slasher I can think of since . . . Happy Death Day, yeah. Which was far and away the best since . . . You’re Next, maybe? And before that it’d
This is as solid a piece of film writing that I’ve seen for a while. Solid stuff. And, I imagine it’s on point? That its analysis and sort-of conclusions are spot-on-ish? I haven’t seen the film, I mean. Don’t think I’ve seen any Lars Von Trier, actually. People always tell me Anthichrist can kind of
My 2006 novel, not this site. Excited (terrified also) to cue it up. Always good, listening to Livius and Robb:
By category, sub-genre, branch, type—whatever’s under “Horror” and’s on the movie shelf, and not getting too granular. But, “15,” right? I know. I tried to keep it to a properly spooky “13,” but things happen. Though, if you take #11 and #15 out (which would shatter me), as they’re not really ‘categories’—”Scariest,” “Perfect”—then this does
Okay, this is probably A) expensive, B) delicate (maybe?), and C) something that requires long-ish nails-as-canvas in the first place, but still, this is glorious enough and glamorous enough and wonderful cool amazing enough that that might all be worth it:
October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for. Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU: Then I was at the
If you like a good gory time with some ridiculous storytelling and nothing but laughs, you can’t do better than Gravy: If you like that, then Murder Party‘s a sure bet: And it goes without saying that Trick ‘r Treat is called for this time of year: And, for something less silly that comes in
For real horror, you need: an empty rocking chair, rocking a crackle-faced porcelain doll the close-up of an eyeball a spread-fingered hand on the other side of a window a tree swing, creaking back and forth and a cat flying out of every closet: doesn’t hurt to have a mysterious shape walking past a doorway,
Isn’t that mask just so expressive? It’s supposed to make Michael Myers faceless, but really it kind of gives him a soul. A dark, evil, tortured soul. Anyway, I think it’s going to be a touch before I get to actually talking about this latest version, BUT: if you haven’t seen it yet AND you
Late late late. I feel like the white rabbit. My excuse? Wrapping a big project, putting all my words there. But, c’mon, dude, this isn’t even words, this is just pictures:
Surely, if the world’s at all a fair and just place. Which? Mandy‘s already somehow not playing close enough for me to get to, so who knows. But, here’s three that I’m pretty much holding my breath for right now: I missing any? I bet I am. But I can only contain so much excitement, too.
Watching Jeepers Creepers last night, had to capture this (will embed the tweet so as to let Twitter host the file): I can watch these kinds of cerebral interchanges for hours and hours. I never can quite win them, though pic.twitter.com/dEFPvJsh1t — Stephen Graham Jones (@SGJ72) August 8, 2018

Seriously, this is one of the top best most amazing coolest wow slasher things I’ve seen. Can’t get enough:

For many of us out in the fansphere, this isn’t just the dream, this is the perfect nightmare. Which, yes, is kind of am empty statement. What I’m trying to say is: Could there possibly have been anything even halfway as cool as this? [Images] SIX Jason Actors Got Back into Their ‘Friday the 13th’
