“Voorhees” coming in Spring 2019. With the ongoing litigation surrounding the Friday the 13th franchise, fans of the slasher series have been left in limbo for the foreseeable future. Fortunately for F13th fans, independent filmmakers have stepped up to fill the void. Vincent DiSanti’s 2017 F13th fan film “Never Hike Alone” (by Womp Stomp Films) was a resounding success in late …

A throwback for fans of grindhouse theater. TERRIFIER pays homage to the grindhouse/double feature era. Although clearly shot in present-day (cell phones, car models, etc), director Damien Leone and cinematographer Christopher Cafaro perfectly encapsulate the feel of grindhouse cinema with the use of pop zooms, sharp cuts, orange/black coloration, and distinct score. There is no doubt that Art the clown/mime is the star …

A new Halloween film wrapped principal photography and is slated for a nationwide release on October 19th, 2018. Understandably, there will be some eyes rolling after learning of yet another installment in the fading Halloween (faded?) franchise. Who’s making it? And, uh…why…especially after the bad taste that ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ left the Halloween faithful? The Halloween sequels have systematically gnawed away …

Writer’s Note: There will be a youtube video ranking these movies accordingly. For the sake of this article, these are my top ten horror comedies in no particular order. Anyway — enough talk! Here is the list: Tremors (1990) This movie was flat-out ENTERTAINING. A well-acted comedy set within a classic monster movie. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon still find …

I’m sure by now, everyone has seen the new IT trailer, and if you’re like me, you’re freaking pumped up. Granted, the trailer has some issues, and made the film almost look like it’s going to be another run-of-the-mill Hollywood jump fest. Still, I don’t think that’s going to be the case, and is just another instance of Hollywood being typical …

John Carpenter. Wes Craven. Alfred Hitchcock. A few names with one thing in common: these are some of the most famous horror filmmakers in history. Time and time again, these men have redefined the horror genre, and left their signature on Hollywood. Starting in August, John Hale will attempt to do just that, and build a legacy in the process. …

***this article will contain spoilers regarding the Netflix original series Stranger Things*** On July 15, 2016, Netflix, The Duffer Brothers, and Shawn Levy, made streaming history with Stranger Things, a science fiction show set in 1983. The series is 8 episode “chapters”, and focuses on the lives and events surrounding a disappearance of a young boy (named Will Byers) in an Indiana …

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. He wanted to let us in on the news early, and you better believe we considered that to be a …
