It’s that time of year… No, not Halloween although I can see why you might think that I was referring to our favorite spoooooky holiday. I’m referring to Exhumed 24 Hour Horror-thon season. It’s not really a season in the sense that you have multiple screenings or events that fill up the course of a [...]
Something has been totally lost in our Halloween traditions. Yes, we carve and light our Jack O’ Lanterns. We trip the light trick or treat. We get dressed up and wander the streets trying to steal candy from little kids… strike that from the record. You know what we very well don’t do? Tell scary [...]
St. Louis-based comedian Josh Arnold shoots the shit about stand-up, horror movies, and oral surgery…bathroom style.
Now, if only the Baltimore Orioles could be as consistently good as their hometown brethren, Mourningside Productions…
The lovers of Hollywood-inspired, non-challenging horror movies often get a bad rap. For some reason, we consider anything that doesn’t make it to theaters and doesn’t have big names attached to it as a more coveted caliber of film. And with that indie, edgy sub-genre attached, it is instantly favored against a theatrically-released horror film [...]
Jason Voorhees in a kiddie pool?! Sure, why not?
It’s been a while since I can remember a theatrically released horror film with a conclusion that has garnered so much backlash. For many, the final moments of The Last Exorcism altered their entire attitude towards the film. For others, it prevented the movie from ranking higher on their “Top 10″ lists. And then there [...]
We’ve all heard the joke: if you want to make it to the final frame of a horror movie, practice abstinence (also, they don’t always tell you this, but being pretty helps a lot). Is virginity a fair price for survival? As today’s list of cinematic puritans might suggest, saving one’s innocence has a whole lot of side effects, from the awesome (telekinesis!) to the awful (an engagement ring from Satan).
“If you don’t follow the rules tonight, you won’t live to see tomorrow.”
This past summer, someone asked me a question that I didn’t have the answer to right away. The question was about why I think Halloween is often cited as being the most important, well known slasher film, when Black Christmas actually came before it and is more responsible for kick starting the slasher genre. Originally [...]
Getting the most BOO! for your Budget.
Art you hang on your Face. (Please don’t use a nail.)
I gotcha covered like a casserole for Halloween.
When we started mulling around the idea of a WIH week here at The Blood Sprayer, I knew I wanted to have some guest posters. I wanted to reach out to some guys whose work I like. I love that there are a lot of women in the Horror industry who have inspired men in [...]
48 hours shouldn’t be able to contain this much insanity.
