Following it’s hugely successful beta, Friday the 13th: The Game now has a set release date, with camp counselors being sent to the slaughter on May 26, 2017. The game will be launched for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Steam, costing $40 at retail. With the ability to play as a counselor on the run, or Ol’ Hockey Mask himself, F13: The Game is looking to be a successful adaptation of the famous series. There’s still a lot of the game that hasn’t been shown (multiple maps, Jason abilities, and the ever elusive single player campaign for starters), which just makes the wait hurt that much more. Probably not as much as a machete to the head, granted. But still painful.

I will have to admit that before Women in Horror Month rolled around this year, I was unaware of its existence. Shame on me! I love the outcry to not only celebrate the great women in horror, but to encourage more female focus in the genre. That is what the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival is all about. It is a celebration and an invitation to women in horror. And, due to the overwhelming success of the February Festival, a second 2017 edition has just been announced! Festival programmer, Eli Lewy has announced that “Women’s genre output is severely underrepresented in horror communities and we want to do our bit in changing that,” says festival programer Sara Neidorf. “Many believe that women who love genre films are a minority but that’s simply not true: women make up half or more of horror audiences, and it’s high time they have a chance to watch films that aren’t dominated by the male

Oh, why hello my Little Monsters, I didn’t see you standing there with bated breath, waiting to read about this weeks wonderful Woman of Horror. Of course having seen the image and the title before coming in to read this, you all will have already surmised that my focus today is on the legendary Karen Black. Karen originally came into this world as Karen Blanche Ziegler, on July 1st, 1939. She grew up in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, Illinois, where she ultimately graduated from Maine East High School. Karen would decide to stay in state to continue her education, majoring in theater arts at Northwestern University. Looking to further her training in the dramatic arts, Karen would move to New York, where she would study under famed acting teacher, Lee Strasberg. During the burgeoning years of her career, Karen had roles in many off Broadway productions, as well as making her screen debut in the 1960 film, The

The place is Pennsylvania, and the time period is the late 1800’s. On a daily basis, trains teeming with orphaned children would arrive unleashing these urchins onto the city streets. One of these children, a solitary and destitute seven year old girl, is entrusted by an older woman to carry out a simple task on a nightly basis – deliver a plate of food to someone residing in the attic of the woman’s residence. However, there is one important rule she MUST follow, and that is for her to NEVER pass beyond the serving table in the attic. Albeit mundane and repetitive, this chore proves to be a simple enough way for the young waif to make some much needed money. But children are naturally curious and eventually it may get the better of this young girl. Who is the person living in this attic, and why are they being secretly confined? These maybe questions this young orphan girl won’t

Part One here “Can I help again today Dad?” “Of course son, come on.” It was time to wind the watch. He looked forward to watching his father reverently remove the watch from its stand in the glass case on the bookshelf in the den of their house. Gently he took the watch down and laid it on a soft piece of material on the desk next to a lamp. He sat on a stool next to his father watching his father’s skilled hands polishing the watch’s casing. Then he slowly opened it, blew out imaginary dust from the hinge, and polished the crystal. Then, with his eyes glued to the project, he watched his dad carefully wind the watch three and a half times, listen to it tick and listen to it tock. Then, following another quick wipe-down he tenderly set it back in the glass case. “This watch must be wound every day. It is important never to

WARNING! Viewer discretion advised! Do NOT play trailers in a public place! Over the past few years we have done a lot of movie lists, everything from “based on a true story” to vampire movies. I have come up with a new list, but this one is just for the grown folks. Here’s something for horror fans who happen to be a little freaky, 15 Adult Horror Parodies. The titles are funny and the parodies are hilarious. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, you will find no nudity here. 1. Evil Head Ash doesn’t slay deadites in this parody, he lays them. 2. A Wet Dream on Elm Street One two, Freddy’s coming for you… sorry, I couldn’t resist. 3. This Ain’t the Munsters Let’s be honest, many boys (and girls) grew up fantasising about Yvonne De Carlo’s character Lily Munster. 4.

Greetings my Little Monsters. I’m here right now to inform you all that the clock is winding down on Emanuele Mengotti’s campaign at Indiegogo, to fund his beautifully macabre film, set on the legendary Venetian island of Poveglia, The Plague Doctor. There are currently only four days remaining to contribute and help the producers reach their $25,000 goal so they may bring this nightmarish vision to life. The filmmaker’s synopsis of The Plague Doctor describes the film as, “The story of Mattia, a talented young doctor, takes place in Venice. He is summoned to care for an old writer, Riccardo, by his niece, Valentina. Before reaching Riccardo’s dwelling, Mattia passes by Poveglia, an ancient island in the Venetian Lagoon where several events related to the history and culture of the “Serenissima” took place. Once a quarantine site and then a mental hospital, the island is deeply engrained with dark legends of plague and madness. In Poveglia, the young doctor faces,
