Vincente DiSanti Tells Us to Never Hike in the Snow
Friday the 13th is one of those horror franchises that is so beloved by fans and so bafflingly mismanaged by studios that we haven't seen a lot of "new" in the saga of Jason Voorhees. Add to that the legal battles surrounding the property and it will likely be years still before we see another official return to camp. That's why the surprise 2017 fan film Never Hike Alone was such an incredible relief to those who love the films and characters connected to it. WompStomp Films

Danno Did Dragon Con!
Note: While the author intentionally waited until after Dragon Con had concluded to write a comprehensive retrospective of the event, unforeseen circumstances delayed this piece from running before now. I've been fortunate enough in my time with 52 Weeks of Horror to cover some cool events. From movie screenings and film festivals to conventions and more, I've had a chance to experience and share with you some amazing stories. While all of it is fun, nothing can quite compare

Defy Film Festival Returns to Music City
A world class independent short film festival... in Nashville? They're not exactly two concepts that immediately seem to fit together. The country music capitol of the world and the cinematic arts might surprise anyone who has never visited Middle Tennessee but, as a native Nashvillian it's no surprise to see the Defy Film Festival opening today at Studio 615. Defy Film Festival, now in its 4th year, is the brainchild of Dycee Wildman and Billy Senese and aims to bring "bold

B Movie Excitement Done 90's Style in Jessie's Super Normal Regular Average Day
All Jessie wanted was to sleep in on her day off, but there’s a whole Hell of a lot going on that’s keeping her from doing that. The only question she keeps having to ask herself is if any of it is even real in the first place. WTF?! (What The Fish?!) ‘Jessie’s Super Normal Regular Average Day’ is the third film from writer/director Brian K. Williams (Time to Kill, Space Babes from Outer Space), and stars Ellie Church, Allison Maier, and Alyss Winkler. The film features a lat

Terror Trek - To Boldly Go Into 80's Horror
Space, the final frontier. As a kid there was nothing better than hearing those words as the Enterprise slowly filled my TV screen. I am a horror fan, through and through, but I am also a huge Trekkie who loves The Next Generation with a passion. But something interesting happened recently as I started rewatching the series. Amid the camp and homages to Rodenberry’s original series, something more sinister was coming into view. From musical scores and lighting effects to came
