That’s right folks. Break out your cyan/red 3-D glasses and view some images never before seen in the third dimension. Some [...]
I got it done! Finally! After many setbacks, my first record review column for The Bloodsprayer. I missed most of the release dates on these (Most came out in September, but it’s not like release dates matter that much anymore.) but at least they are current. Since this isn’t a “music oriented webzine” I’m not [...]
Have you seen the new trailer for the much anticipated film PENNHURST yet? Let’s take a step back. Have you ever broken into an abandon mental hospital in the hopes of finding out that the urban legend spookshow you heard about from all your friend was real? No? Well than you haven’t lived. I can safely tell you [...]
Remember when you were in high school and were forced to read Lord of the Flies knowing full well that there were Cliff’s Notes and a movie adaptation readily available at your finger tips? Well your academic experience with this William Golding classic has made its way into yet another film adaptation… sort of. Enter [...]
The “horror-comedy” is a flooded market with writers and directors trying to create the next Evil Dead or Shaun of the Dead. Then again, one could argue that the horror genre is a flooded market, but that may be a post for another time. What it comes down to is that there are plenty of [...]
I think opening day for any remake feels like the first battle between Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa. Underdog versus champion and of course there’s no expectation for the underdog to win really. Rocky isn’t supposed to win against Apollo Creed, and I don’t think there’s any question that the remake of Fright Night was [...]
I am not sure why creators of bad horror films find the need to always throw lots of awkward sex into their movies. They (the writers) act as if they just came out of the soft-core porn market and are trying to adapt to this “new” way of filming but are unable to give up [...]
It was a brisk winter day here in Brisbane, Australia and the leaves were beginning to change their color in order to adapt to the cooler weather that has invaded Australia’s tropical climate. The air moved quickly around me as I made my way up the path from the main building on campus. I was [...]
From the beginning, The Bleeding House is a quirky and strange feature with a slow burn, methodical approach. This eventually gives way to something that is both startling and brutal. It’s like an orchestral movement that crescendos into one big gut punching finish. At the onset, we’re introduced to a family of four who’ve recently [...]

From the minds behind the infamous Toe Tag Pictures, comes an attempt to be more serious and less about the snuff factor. Admittedly, I’ve never seen any of the films made and distributed by the group. I’ve heard plenty about the August Underground series as well as a few other films like The Redsin Tower. [...]
Still stumped on gift ideas for a fellow horror aficionado? Or need to fill in your own Christmas list? Horror fans can be tough to shop for. Sure you can just pick up a horror DVD 50-pack and it will be enjoyed, but if you want to grab a unique present to surprise a horror fan, [...]
Meet Al. He loves horror films. So much so that he’s going to film school and he’s started drafting his own screenplay for one. Unbeknownst to him, he’s going to find himself smack dab in the middle of one himself. Zoinks! Al is headed out to a cabin in the woods for the weekend with [...]
I really love Mad Ron’s Prevues from Hell. A horror trailer compilation released in 1987 with a thoughtful selection of 47 vintage clips. Such a bloody party tape wasn’t anything new in the VHS era at that point. Wizard Video had The Best of Sex & Violence hosted by John Carradine, Filmgore hosted by Elvira, [...]
