‘Salem’s Lot Sucks Like A Good Vampire Movie Should

Vampires Are Back “Barlow! He’s a vampire! He must be destroyed!” — David Soul, Salem’s Lot That’s a line of dialogue from the cheesy and absolutely fun 1979 mini series, ‘Salem’s Lot. While it comes nowhere near the elegance and terror of the Stephen King novel, it totally avoids the cynicism and emptiness of the 2004 remake with Rob Lowe and Donald Sutherland. When you have vampires, especially scary vampires, why is there a need for sexual predator fathers and teachers? This was not a subject of the book, so why did the 2004 remake need to add this dimension? It’s like the Amityville Horror films (which none, and I mean ZERO are good horror films) you have all these ghosts, why does the house have to explode or someone chases someone with an axe or commit incest? Aren’t the ghosts scary enough? At least the original 1979 B movie gave us a puking a nun and a wonderful hamfisted

Is The Conjuring 2 Featuring The Warren’s Amityville Horror Investigation ?

We reported earlier this month the James Wan has begun filming on The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist. Wan even shared a series of the photos from the film’s sets. The film, a sequel to the 2013 The Conjuring, is based on Ed and Loraine Warren’s investigation that took place in the 1970’s, in England, when a single mother and her children were plagued by intense paranormal activity. Earlier today Bloody-Disgusting disclosed that they had stumbled across a brief interaction on Twitter between actress Alexa Najera and a fan. Najera confirmed that she will be playing the role of Allison DeFeo in The Conjuring 2, leading us all to believe that not only will the film cover the Enfield events, but also the famous Amityville case. Allison DeFeo was one of the daughters of Louise and Ronald DeFeo. The entire family was butchered around 6:30 PM on Wednesday, November 13, 1974 by Ronald and Louise’s eldest son, Ronald Jr. who

“Man is the only animal that kills for fun,” A look into Christopher Denham’s “Preservation”

A camping trip goes awry as newlyweds Mike and Wit are suddenly joined by Mike’s brother, Sean, a former marine, in the psychological horror-thrill ride “Preservation.” They awake from their first night on the trip to find that everything has been stolen from their campsite. A weekend in the woods suddenly becomes a game of survival for the three. The film is littered with classic horror stereotypes which makes it a particularly fun watch, especially for horror fans! For me, the movie fell short in the realm of reality, and what “traditional hunters” actually do on a hunting trip. A great example of this is when the group arrives at their hunting spot and realize it is closed. To quote the characters, “That’s never stopped our family before,” and they enter anyways. With that said, the common horror movie stereotype-stupidity of these three is what makes this film a great horror film. The “closed” sign is the typical warning in

Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight Features Unused Tracks From The Thing

The music for the epic horror classic The Thing (1982), directed by John Carpenter, was composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone. But not all of the music Morricone created for the The Thing was actually used in the film and sat dormant, until now. Brilliant filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has made use of the previously unused music. Tarantino was working with Morricone to complete the soundtrack for his film The Hateful Eight, which is now in theaters, pressed for time, and still trying to find the perfect score for his film, he brought up the unused tracks and Morricone approved. The track was recut and can be heard in the film, along with twenty-five minutes of other music. You will be able to pick up the soundtrack when it is released on deluxe vinyl early next year. The Hateful Eight is set in post-Civil War Wyoming. Eight men, trying to survive a blizzard, get involved in a plot of betrayal and

Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse – A Review

There has been a lot of buzz about Christopher Landon’s zombie-comedy Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, now I know why. Last night when I sat down to watch Scouts Guide, I was hoping it would live up to the hype. The film follows three Scouts, who happen to be best friends. Two of the friends, Ben (Tye Sheridan) and Carter (Logan Miller), are starting to worry how people look at them. They’ll be juniors (in high school) next year and like most kids at that age, they worry girls won’t think they’re cool. While trying decide how to tell Augie (Joey Morgan) (the third friend) they want to quit Scouts, they hit a deer. Ben and Carter are changing the tire when Carter’s sister Kendall (Halston Sage) and her boyfriend and friend pull up. Ben has had a crush on Kendall since he was little, but she’s pretty and popular, and she has a boyfriend, who’s a douche. Carter
