I get sent plenty of ghoulishly groovy things (most of which I slap my award losing revoltin’ reviews upon), but what I’m about to lay on you today is a short film that finally answers a question I’ve had in my head for over a decade: “If a Suicide Girl wakes up in the woods, would anyone be there to form some sort of insane evil family?’ The answer yes…yes, they would. Click the ol’ video below to see what I mean: To say I’m totally in love with that sinister short is an understatement…and apparently it’s part of a bigger picture! Here’s the official word on what’s coming next; a longer short titled Sulphur for Leviathan : Sulphur for Leviathan revolves around a nun, who suddenly finds herself progressively fantasizing about things that shouldn’t be in her head, increasingly having to face her own doings of blasphemy, all leading up to something demonically dark and sinister. Portrayed in a

Poor Laura; her nights are filled with a real plastic hassle of screaming, unending terror…night terrors to be precise (this probably not helped by the fact she lives in a creepy-as-balls mansion). Any ol’ way, L-Dawg is also dealing with the recent death of her mother who was nuttier than a goddamned fruit cake. Naturally, there are only two answers to what’s plaguing our heroine: her mother is haunting her like a MF’er, or Laura too has a bad case of beastly bats in her belfry. Regardless, a medium is called, a seance is performed, and Laura and her friends experience a violence laden experience. No refunds. Let’s start with what works with The Spiritualist, shall we? Well, it’s well acted, with Caroline Burns Cooke as the titular spiritualist being a real standout (as is the entire seance sequence). I also enjoyed the unconventional approach to parts of the narrative (the film almost seems like two films in one…and more

Holiday HorrorTrailers
Christmas is right around the corner and so is the release of Once Upon a Time at Christmas, the new violence-fueled holiday film from director Paul Tanter. Sayla de Goede and Simon Philips star as the way too jolly, murderous couple. Brook Fletcher, Laurel Brady, Jeff Ellenberger, Devon Mary Doherty, and Christina Vernucci co-star. Christopher Jolley, Simon Philips, and Paul Tanter penned the script. The film hails from the team behind The Last Scout, White Collar Hooligan series, and the vampiric TV series Age of the Living Dead. In the film we meet Santa and Mrs. Claus: he’s a one-eyed fiend, she’s a curvy, bat-swinging blonde. This serial-killer couple is terrorizing the holidays in an upstate New York town with a series of horrific homicides. Though the victims seem random — a mall Santa, a smooching couple, an innocent family — high-schooler Jennifer and clever cop Sam begin to unravel the sinister pattern behind the slayings. Can they stop the

Jonathan and Elizabeth are a young couple in love, and everything is all red lingerie and fancy ass wine…but their are cracks beginning to show in the relationship; namely the fact that Jonathan believes Elizabeth is in the relationship simply for the comfort it provides and doesn’t really care about him, and the stress brought on by Elizabeth’s illness that brings with it a stunning case of the pukes. Enter Anne: A beautiful blonde ol’ J-Dawg meets in a local waterin’ hole (an as an aside, Jonathan is a good looking enough dude, but his drawing power with comely lasses boarders on the absurd…a.k.a. I’m jealous of a fictional character in a short film…also watching nothing but fright flicks may be starting to take it’s toll…but, I digress).

I had the pleasure of speaking with writer-director Larry Brand, who has written many films including Halloween: Resurrection, Paranoia, and The Girl on the Train which he also directed. Brand talked with us about his part of the Holloween franchise as well as one of his most recent projects, the second season of ‘Hollywood & Crime’, titled ‘Young Charlie’. With Charles Manson’s recent passing it is the perfect time to delve into Charles’ life. Brand has incredible insight into Manson’s past and was willing to let me pick his brain about the cult leader who left a path of destruction in his wake. Horror Fuel: “How did you come to write the Young Charlie series?” Larry Brand: “My film producing partners Rebecca Reynolds and Jim Carpenter have been producing a podcast series called Hollywood & Crime for Wondery for the last year-and-a-half. It was created it with Jon Ponder and Tracy Pattin, the host of the show. The first season

The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale is only days away and AMC is teasing that something major is going to happen and that there will be a “moment everyone will be talking about” (like they do every mid-season/season finale). There is currently chaos. Rick just fought a walker and members of the Scavengers in his drawers. Daryl, Michone, and Tara crashed a truck into the Savior compound to let the walkers in. Eugene is being a douche as usual. And Negan wants revenge. He’s also got a very sick Gabriel in his possession. Basically, everything is going to shit, as usual. Here’s the trailer for the mid-season finale and the sneak peek clip. Tune in on Sunday, December 10 at 9 pm to find out who dies and who will be changed forever.

Look, I’ll be honest with you creeps, I have never seen (or even heard of) Death-Scort Service Part 1; but as is my way with everything, that don’t mean shit to me. I’m sure a fine, morally upstanding picture like Death-Scort Service Part 2: The Naked Dead will do your’s cruelly a solid (probably on my chest), and catch me right up to speed… …and wadda ya know, the film begins with a flashback to the conclusion of the first flick; courtesy of the final girl, Michelle (Krystal Pixie Adams) having a lil’ bubble bath flashback (as you do after such things). Anyway, long story short, hookers vs. a serial killer, Hookers 1 : Serial Killer 0. Well as fate would have it, a new killer rises to take the place of the last and a new batch of lusty ladies (who just want to save up enough scratch to have a home, sweet home to call their very own)
