#SaveDreadCentral
The last few years have been hard on horror fans. We’ve suffered some pretty substantial losses. From the deaths of Wes Craven and other genre icons to the collapse of Fearnet and similar outlets it seems like we’re gradually losing our cultural voice. Hollywood is more interested in mass producing watered down PG-13 tripe than it is about making art while independent filmmakers, writers, and artists are struggling to share their visions with a fan base desperately seeking so
Where Have All the Vampires Gone?
I think by now most of us have had our fill of the sparkly, angsty, emo vampires that have dominated the last decade of film and literature. I mean, as a novelty some day walking, heartbroken undead lothario could be entertaining… for a while. But the vampire is a primal hunter, an indiscriminate killer who stalks the night and inspires fear into the hearts of mortal men on the most primitive of levels. The monster itself is prehistoric, its legends and attributes as old as o
What’s New On Shudder: December 2016
Horror fans have plenty to be joyful about this holiday season, especially if Shudder is streaming in the household. While other streaming services are playing lighthearted family films throughout the month, Shudder plays horror, and only horror, all year long. This month, however, they’ve got some special treats to add to our stockings. From a sinister Christmastime classic to Rob Zombie’s latest effort, the genre service has plenty of cheer to spread for every horror fan fo
The Hidden Meaning Of Sex And Horror
Sex sells. Whenever I ask someone why horror movies are always populated by some of the most breathtakingly beautiful girls in the industry, it’s the only answer anyone ever seems to be able to give me. Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s an often joked about trope in horror movies where some dumb sorority girl ends up topless running from the killer and, sure, it’s usually good to sell a few extra tickets, but I think there’s still something more to the sexual liberation that
Review: Yoga Hosers Hits Netflix! *Spoilers*
It’s finally happened Scare Makers! I have finally watched Yoga Hosers thanks to its recent release on Netflix. And may I start off by saying Oh Canada! Written and Directed by, one of my personal favorites, Kevin Smith(Clerks, Red State, and Tusk) ; Yoga Hosers brings a fun and female bad-assery to the comedic horror genre. I had originally prepared myself for this film to be incredibly terrible based on critic reviews and Smith constantly saying how bad it was in interviews
Ten Years Of Terror
The 2000’s have been a mixed bag of cinematic classics, remakes, and complete bombs with an endless wave of reboots and uninspired rip-offs that just seem to keep coming as we steadily approach the second decade of the new millennium. But in the midst of all the bad, we’ve also had some one of a kind cult classics rise up out of this slurry of over-hyped, under whelming big budget hits. From Adam Green’s debut slasher Hatchet to other new franchises like Saw, The Purge and Ca
