Tired of crappy reality shows and dancing high school students? Craving some of the warm fuzzy feelings you got every Wednesday night when American Horror Story was on? Then get ready for three new shows and one returning show hoping to fill our winters with a little fright. First up is the American debut 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 [...]
When I first heard about the Jason Dark series, I was intrigued. I do love the supernatural detective stuff, what with growing up on The X-Files, and Millenium (God how I miss old TV), then finding the Simon R. Green Nightside series, and even now I just discovered Torchwood after much Doctor Who bingeing. Obviously, [...]
I’m sure that most of you have heard of Guillermo del Toro, and odds are you know his name due to his work with films. For those of you who have not heard of him, he did Mimic, Blade II, Hellboy, and Pan’s Labyrinth. He also turned down I Am Legend and Harry Potter [...]
While I have finished reading a couple of novels recently, I felt like doing something a bit more fun and different for the site. Now obviously, this is just my personal opinion, so if you disagree with any of my choices, that’s cool. I would love to see everyone posting their own Top Ten, I [...]
Down to the Final Four in The Horror Battle Royale! Today’s match up pits Vampire against Serial Killer and Cthulhu against Loch Ness Monster. Who will come out on top to face each other for bragging rights and forever reign supreme over the horror kingdom?

Meet Scribblenauts. Scribblenauts is NOT a horror game.
Stephen King and vampires have gotten along famously ever since ‘Salem’s Lot hit shelves 35 years ago, and his newest project will further cement that relationship. American Vampire is a DC/Vertigo release with a lofty goal: to reinvent Vampire mythology for America. Any fan of classic horror literature can picture the original vampire: well [...]
How many of you have heard of David Wellington? Not many? Well, that’s kind of the whole point behind this week’s theme. We at The Blood Sprayer wanted to shine the spotlight on some of the lesser known faces of horror, and since I have an entire library of horror novels, I just jabbed a [...]
Breaking News Update: We have just received word that Bloody Disgusting will be dropping a brand new online comic series in August of this year. The title, as you may have guessed, is Late Sunsets, Early Sunrises. The upcoming series will be comprised of 6-issues, and it is written and created by Bloody Disgusting’s very own THEoDEAD [...]
“Saint: A dead sinner, revised and edited.” — Ambrose Bierce, and let me tell you, it goes both ways.
Vampire a Go-Go, by Victor Gischler was as ridiculously awesome as his last novel, Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse. As you may have guessed from the titles, Gishler does not write serious novels. In fact, he’s kind of like the Tarantino of horror fiction, and it makes me very happy. He has written a handful [...]
I realize that I am late to the party when it comes to Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. To be perfectly honest, I am 20 years late to the party, and the edition I picked up is the special anniversary re-issue. Be that as it may, Carrion Comfort is an epic novel, both in scope [...]

Directors Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) and Timor [...]
