Parallels: Annabelle vs. Rosemary’s Baby
I decided to watch Annabelle because it was supposedly a prequel to The Conjuring, and with The Conjuring 2 coming out in theaters, I felt myself growing a bit obsessive and decided that I wanted to see everything to do with these brilliant films. Even if they didn’t get good reviews. I’ll admit, I wasn’t too impressed with Annabelle, with one exception: I …

Back in 2008 when I stumbled upon the horrorpunk scene, I realized that I had discovered something truly great. Bands (and members of bands) like Blitzkid and Dragnun took this confused 20 something year old girl who had for all intents and purposes been labeled a “freak” by society just for liking dead things, under their wing. The years passed …

I think it’s safe to say that most of us are pretty damn hyped for Friday the 13th: The Game. Hell, as a matter of fact, Wes Keltner, the man behind the game, contacted TalkHorror before the game was even announced.

Hacky Horrordays, Talkhorror fans! Whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, or some other dark custom which you choose to hide away, it’s a good bet that if you’re here, you have something a little creepier than the typical sweater-and-coffee-mug combo on your December wishlist.

There’s a new Green Inferno, and it’s not Eli Roth’s new cannibal film. A lot of people are probably going to wonder how in the hell someone could post the tale of a boy and their poop, but dammit, this is Halloween-related and what else would you expect from Mr. Bojangles himself? As you all know, Burger King recently released …
Read More »HORROR MOVIES: THEN AND NOW
The genre of horror has always been and will always be one of the few things I hold close to my heart. Perhaps it’s due to being 6’5 with wide shoulders, long arms and a mug not even a mother can love. Or maybe it’s as easy as I loved the adventure of being terrified as a youth. Much like …

Horror soundtracks seem to have a rock or pop song that fits uncannily well for every occasion that a dark mind could envision.
