It’s often said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. But there just happens to be one woman who is trash and treasure all in one, and her name is Linnea Quigley. Now when I speak of her as “Trash“, my Little Monsters, I am obviously speaking of her iconic character from the 1985 classic, Return of the Living Dead. In the late 70’s, after graduating from high school in Davenport, IA, Linea and her family relocated to Los Angeles. She began working at a health spa owned by Jack Lalane...yes, the Jack Lalane from the juicer infomercials who swam while handcuffed and shackled and also towing 70 rowboats behind him at the age of 70. But this is about Linea, so let’s not get side tracked… like I just did. Anyways, while working at this spa, Linnea met models who were employed as extras on films. Friends began suggesting to Linnea that she should try acting, and luckily

I am so excited to keep announcing cast updates for the new Predators film. Director Shane Black has just announced that Jack Busey (son of Gary Busey who was in Predator 2) has just been added. Filming for this movie (which Black promises will be gory) has already started and there are no details about Busey’s character, but he is joining the ever-growing group of actors that will be hunted by a genetically modified predator in an urban setting. The ever- growing cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes and Olivia Munn. Kyle Strauts will play the Predator. We reported back January that Thomas Jane has joined the cast and if things continue the way they are, Black will continue to announce more people and they will all be reported here on HorrorFuel.com.

There is one thing that seems to be a common fear among many people, and that’s clowns. There has always been something terrifying about someone who puts on makeup to hide their true selves, creating fake personas and circling children. Pennywise would be the perfect example of why we hate clowns. Source Point Press will soon deliver an new comic, titled Made-Up: Zombie Clown Circus, that will but readers to the test. While the comic, from writer Mira Mortal and artist John Rodriguez, may have a nightmarish villain, the comic’s art is a dream. I would even go so far as to say beautiful. From the Press Release: Source Point Press is releasing a new horror graphic novel titled Made-Up: Zombie Clown Circus digitally this month, and in print this May. Writer Mira Mortal and artist John “JAR” Rodriguez present this one-shot graphic novel that puts a fresh twist on zombie – horror and takes “wigging out” to a whole

So here we are, my Little Monsters, just a little over two not short enough months away from Ridley Scott’s newest Alien franchise installment, Alien: Covenant. This film furthers the story-line that began with Scott’s 2012 film Prometheus. It was originally intended that Prometheus would in effect act as a prequel to Scott’s 1979 film, Alien. but as most fans will attest, while the film answered many questions it asked a hell of a lot more that now need to be answered – enter Alien: Covenant. Now Scott gets the chance to begin tying up loose ends left to unravel by the previous screenwriters on Prometheus. From the trailers that have been released thus far it looks like Scott is bringing back the essence of his 1979 classic. In an interview with the Sidney Morning Herald, Michael Fassbender stated, “They’ve gone back to the Alien mood in terms of the thriller-horror aspect of it but we have the scale of

Years and years ago during one Halloween, my dad put on Michaels Jackson’s Thriller album. The end of the title track features a devilish laugh. I didn’t know who the laugh was performed by and I was too young to realize what the song was about, but I remember my older brother bursting into tears at the demonic cackle and run out of living room to find comfort in the safety of his bedroom. It is one of my favorite memories…especially because it didn’t only happen once (mom and dad thought it was hilarious). For those of you who haven’t heard the laugh, stop reading, go to this link and check it out. That voice belongs to the icon, the legend, Vincent Price. Price has been the face and voice of horror for decades and continues that legacy long after his death. Obviously this talented actor’s career spanned other genres, but he is the indisputable king of horror. Vincent Leonard

Big news from the world of American Horror Story! Regardless of your thoughts about the recent USA election, you are about to see it turned into horror! For many people, this may not seem too far of a reach, but American Horror Story creator, Ryan Murphy, will bring his own twisted outlook on terror to the election in the upcoming season. He promises that both Hillary Clinton and President Trump will be part of the show. Murphy does promise, however, that the two foes will not be the focus of the show. In an interview with E! News, Murphy talks about the highly anticipated season. “Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. It’s our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. And you know, that

Poveglia is the name of a small island located in the Venetian Lagoon, located off the northeastern coast of Italy. It’s a place that director Emanuele Mengotti knows well. As a boy he could literally see the island from his bedroom window in his family’s home, which was located in the Venetian city of Lido. This particular locale is a haunted place. fraught with a tragic history stemming from disease and insanity, and serves as the intended setting for Mengotti’s upcoming film The Plague Doctor. 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.

As we all know, my Little Monsters, February only has 28 days or 29 when we happen to be in a leap year. And while Women in Horror Month officially ended yesterday, I’m going to buck the trend and add one more day…Just because I feel like it. Frankly I believe that the talented women in horror, or women in general for that matter, should be recognized and celebrated EVERY day of every month. So without further ado, lets get this show on the road. The horror genre got it’s hooks into Jen and Sylvia at a very young age, and the movie responsible – Poltergeist. The precocious pair would also tear through Stephen King novels as quickly as they could get their eager little hands on them. And much like the rest of us genre fans, in the heyday of VHS and video stores, the impressionable pair would take pleasure in perusing the horror section of their local video

I just want to take a moment and talk about a concert I went to. No, this is not a concert review, nor will I spend any time talking about the songs played or putting in a plug for you all to go see this show (although you should). What does this have to do with horror? Trust me, my friends. Trust me. I went and saw the unmistakeable Alice Cooper. Yes the show was amazing. Yes, he somehow still sound amazing at 69 years old. Yes, he is heavy and energetic enough to match up to any current rock show. However, none of that is what I want to talk about. The dude lives and breathes horror! His whole show is built around him being in an asylum and within those rubber walls he dances like a ghoul, and screams like a banshee while nurses inject him with goliathian needles, attack him with whips, and restrain him in strait
