I was watching a terrifying movie the other day and I made a realization. I will not name movies here because I do not want to throw anyone under the bus, but I realized it feels as though gore and plot have become mutually exclusive. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love gore. I love watching faces and limbs get ripped off. I love watching blood spatter across the screen and hearing screams of victims. I am a huge fan! However, this movie that I watched had almost no gore, almost no blood, no jump scares and was, by far, the best horror movie I have seen in a very long time. The plot was heavy with depth, the characters got developed, I was helplessly sucked in to the story and I loved every minute of it! Again, I am not speaking against gore and bloodbaths caused by torture and machetes, but I am speaking out against movies that are

Writer/Producer Timothy Vandenberg (Quattelbaum, 4th and Long, Song of a Fifth Grade Samurai) and Producer John Mario Marchioni bring a new horror to the short film world. The 8-minute long film Agatha tells the story of an orphan girl who “is paid handsomely by an old woman to bring meals to someone living in her attic until the girl crosses the one boundary set for her, and discovers a deadly truth.” Set in the Pennsylvania 1800s, orphans were a common occurrence and hundreds of children roamed the streets and were filling orphanages. This story deals with one curious girl and a mysterious woman in an attic who has an all too enticing secret. In an interview, Vanderberg discusses the challenge of finding the right cast and how happy he is with each performance. He also mentions a full length script the he has ready for when the time comes. Starring Louise Ogel, Renee Farrabow, and Penny Kohut, with Tony Rosen

Last week ‘The Walking Dead’ teased fans with a series of mysterious images for the second half of season 7. Today, we have the synopsis for rest of the season. The first half of Season 7 saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the group broken by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), forced to fall under his will and brutally convinced to live under his rules. The second half of the season will focus on preparing for war and gathering the supplies and numbers to take Negan down once and for all. Rick’s group will find out yet again that the world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s much bigger than anything they’ve seen so far. While they have a singular purpose – to defeat Negan – it won’t come easy. More importantly, victory will require more than Alexandria. They need the numbers of the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but, similar to how Rick felt, Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Gregory (Xander Berkeley)

I just finished the André Øvredal directed film The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Going into this movie, I was completely unaware of what it was about other than the brief synopsis on imdb.com. I chose to watch it because I had heard it was good and I am a fan of the starring actors. The film is obviously billed as a horror movie, but I didn’t know what type and, in the very best of ways, I didn’t expect what it was. I promise to give away no spoilers or even any hints about what to expect, but I strongly, strongly urge everyone to watch this movie. It did no rely of cheap thrills or over the top ridiculousness. My biggest issue with many horror movies is that the climax always ends up being some extravagant, highly destructive finale that doesn’t match the rest of the movie. This movie did not do that. The Autopsy of Jane Doe established a

I have been doing a number of articles on fairy tales. I think that the Grimm Brothers especially are phenomenal story tellers and the two of the originators of the horror genre. Their characters range from witches and anamorphic animals to princes and queens. In my opinion, however, one of their best characters is a little imp who appears when people are desperate and willing to make a trades of various value. This imp is called a manikin in the tale which is basically just an excessively small person with no other noticeable defects. Nevertheless, many interpretations of this character have him as anything from a slightly deformed person to an outright troll. If you haven’t guessed his name by now, you aren’t alone. In fact, that’s kind of an integral part of the story. Rumpelstiltskin is an iconic character and an extremely unheralded villain. The creature’s name itself may be why he is visualized as a troll of goblin.

There are thousands of different horror collectibles out there, from figures, art, clothing, to almost everything you can think of. One interesting item by Japan’s Biohazard Ambassador events is a Resident Evil USB port item, and it looks a lot like a burnt or zombified penis. While meant to be a zombie finger like the one in the game, it doesn’t resemble a finger at all until it’s bent. But come on, if you were going to make a finger, wouldn’t you give it something resembling a finger nail? When it is straight, it just looks like a dong that’s charred. Did Lorena Bobbitt design this thing? To make matters worse, the “finger” will be included in Gamestop’s exclusive collector’s edition. I’m sorry, I just can’t stop laughing at this thing. Is this what happens to a zombie when it turns? What do you think this “collector’s item” looks like? Source: Kotaku.com

WARNING: Spoilers! Since the mid-season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ fans have been tossing around theories about who the owner is of the mysterious pair of boots seen in two different scenes in the episode. We can now answer that, sort of. What we can tell you is that it is NOT Dwight, or a Whisperer, or even a past character come back to scope out Alexandria. It is a completely new, never before mentioned character. The new character is not in the comics either. That’s right, fresh blood. The thing is, we have no idea what we can expect from them. We do know a little, thanks to the Spoiling Dead. The owner of the dirty boots is a teenager, who is part of a brand new group. The group is made of all teens, and get this, they live in dumpsters.
