Some characters are just way too good to write about once and Malvolia, Queen of Screams is just one of those who deserves some extra time in print. The horror hostess who's just as interested in deadly cocktails and horror films as she is in selecting her next victim has been making a name for herself in the horror community with a combination of fiendish wit and dark charm that continue to draw in fans. Portrayed by character and series creator Jennifer Nangle, Malvolia fin

If you’ve been following on Facebook then you’ve no doubt seen the numerous mentions to the Nashville Zombie Walk that I’ve tried to drown scare makers with over the last year. I’ve talked about my complete ignorance over how to organize this sort of event, my shock at the outrageous amount of logistical and financial planning that goes into it, and my absolute relief in becoming friends and partners with a former director of the walk and now, after so many months of planning

LONG BEACH, Calif., (Oct. 4, 2017) – As the sun sets and casts long shadows over the Queen Mary, monsters emerge for the 2017 season of Dark Harbor, Southern California’s most authentically terrifying haunt. This year, Dark Harbor features new experiences, intensified mazes and additional attractions where monsters, mad scientist and maniacal clowns wander through the crowd, ready to give you an unexpected scare. Dark Harbor kicked off with celebrities with American Exorcist’

As Friday the 13th steadily marches towards us this week like some machete wielding masked maniac, we thought it might be fun to share some of the best news, thoughts, and memories of Camp Crystal Lake and where better to begin than with an update on a project we’ve been following since January. Friday the 13th Part 3: The Memoriam Documentary is a one of a kind film chronicling not only the creation of one of the most iconic films in the franchise, but about the man who port

Never Hike Alone is an incredible fan made short film featuring the iconic killer of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees. As much a tribute to the Friday the 13th franchise as anything else, the story follows a backpacker who takes a trail camera into the woods on one of his expeditions and stumbles across the remains of a familiar summer camp. He soon ends up face to face with the hockey mask clad murderer in a struggle for his life. I had a chance to talk to director Vincente

“Chomp chomp, zombie.” A diminutive, grandmotherly figure says with a broad smile as she clacks a set of dentures in the air. It’s been almost two weeks since I had the chance to visit the first annual Women in Horror Film Festival and that singular image from Lynne Hansen’s Chomp is still making me grin. The story centers on an elderly woman obsessed with a cable access pundit convinced the zombie apocalypse is nigh. Determined to be a guest on his show, she kidnaps a drunk

Opens Friday, October 20, 2017 LONG BEACH, Calif., (Oct. 2, 2017) – The Queen Mary, dubbed one of the top 10 most haunted places on Earth by Time Magazine, is pleased to unveil the newly-intensified and re-inspired Ghost and Legends, opening to the public on Friday, October 20th . Offered year-round, thrill seekers and scare enthusiasts are invited to board the haunted RMS Queen Mary to test their fears in the world’s largest interactive and fully immersive haunted attraction

I saw a lot of incredible short films during the Women in Horror Film Festival. Everything running the gamut from psychological torture to outright gore and always from a unique perspective. There were movies that gave me the creeps, that made me laugh, and more than a few that left me pretty shaken up as the lights came up in the screening room. But none of what I saw had prepared me for the abject horror and discomfort that I suffered at the hands of Unbearing. Warning, the

For horror fans, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s the time when everyone else catches up and starts playing up the macabre aesthetic that we rep all year ‘round. In October, we’re all weirdos and we all wear black. The month of October brings forth some stellar additions to Shudder, including these exclusives: 10/5: Seoul Station - Director Yeon Sang-ho’s animated prequel to his zombie sleeper hit Train to Busan tells the story of how it all began. As several gr

Atmospheric. It’s the first word, the best word to describe Samantha Kolesnik’s short film I Baked Him a Cake. The music is haunting, cold as we open up in a small, dimly lit room where a woman is busy at work with power tools. We cut to a scene on the wall, the silhouette of the woman and someone else cast on the wall. In a crunchy, slopping of meat and bone rendered away from a body, the arm comes free and, despite seeing the visceral carnage of human devastation that has b
