Womp Stomp Films, best known for their breakout hit Never Hike Alone are at it again with a film concept that may prove even more terrifying than their last. Pathosis is the story of a woman plagued by mental illness and the monsters that exist between her disease and recovery. Just announced earlier this week, the production is already offering a stunning look at this horrific new short and is once again giving fans a chance to be involved with the production. Pathosis is th

Film festivals are phenomenal events with terrible reputations. The average moviegoer hears the words “film festival" and thinks of the stodgy, industry mainstays with their high concept, low appeal films and A list celebrity vanity projects. Events like Sundance which, in recent years has become increasingly hostile to independent filmmakers (i.e., the ongoing Sundance/Troma feud) have left a bad taste in fans’ mouths. So what the cure for the film festival problem? How do y

Taylor Gentry is an unassuming looking young man when you first meet him. He’s a bit quiet at first with the sort of face you’d expect to see in the crowd of any mid-sized college town. You wouldn’t suspect for one moment that within him is the heart of a centuries old vampire count or the wild eyed imagination of a madman. There again, isn’t that how most scary stories start off, the unassuming, the seemingly mundane turned suddenly sideways to reveal the face of terror? Or,

To call Robin Fuqua “skilled” would be an insult to the massive store of talent that this particular Woman in Horror possesses. With over ten years of experience as a special effects makeup artist and some pretty impressive work attached to her name. A freelancer, she relies heavily on her skill and reputation to carry her to her next job while working towards her own goals as an artist and horror lover. I got a chance to talk to Robin recently and was excited to hear what sh

There are scaremakers outside of film and television who don’t get a lot of attention because, well, their medium doesn’t come into our homes on DVD or through a streaming service somewhere. As we’ve talked about before in interviews with Chet Zar and Paul Gerrard, art design itself is a vital link in the creative process that brings our favorite scary stories to life. Much like that art, an equally overlooked and underappreciated piece of that creative process is the role th

I warn you now, American Horror Story fans, there are spoilers ahead so if you haven’t caught yourself up on the current season, don’t write me a bunch of angry emails later. Go watch episode 7 (Valerie Solanas Died for Our Sins: Scumbag) and then come back to this interview. Otherwise, be brave and dive head first into this piece featuring a talented newcomer to the horror genre, Miguel Sagaz. While Sagaz is a seasoned actor who began his career in Hollywood in 2005, he’s al

Back in September I told you about the incredible Women in Horror Film Festival in Peachtree City, Georgia. For three days attendees were given the chance to not only watch some of the most amazing independent horror films by women from all roles in the industry but also had the chance to discuss these fantastic movies with the creators themselves. Unlike some festivals that come across as stuffy and inhospitable to all but the industry elite, the producers of Women in Horror

Before we dive into drink recipes, let's talk about the safe handling of dry ice. What is dry ice? Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide with a temperature reading of -109.3 °F. With that being said, never handle dry ice with your bare hands. Frostbite can occur from improper handling of dry ice. Gloves and/or tongs should be used to safely handle something that extremely cold. Where can I get some dry ice? You don't have to break into a science lab to get a chunk of

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
