Before I go into how much I love The Green Inferno, let me start by saying the first 20 – 30 minutes wasn’t great, mainly because our main character Justine (Lorenza Izzo) has an atrocious roommate Kaycee (Sky Ferreira), whose 1990’s grunge, forced, hipster dialogue was one of the most horrific things in this film. I realize that the films director, Eli Roth, was going for with this, but it is either some of the worst acting I have ever seen or the best, Ferreira deserves an Oscar! I have seen this film 3 times and still can not decide what side of the fence I am on. Now that the worst part of the film is out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff! I personally believe this is Roth’s best film! Shooting 4k (digital) along with the films soundtrack really helps bring the jungle to life and ultimately the fear that our characters feel. The opening

On last week’s episode of Ash vs Evil Dead, Pablo (Pay Santiago) almost got lucky with Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), who happened to be possessed at the time. Then Pablo’s luck went from bad to worse when his uncle was killed by the demon Eligos (played by Ben Fransham). Luckily, Ash (Bruce Campbell) was able to take the demon out before it killed anyone else. Oh, and Ash got a new kick-ass hand, courtesy of Pablo. This week Ash, Pablo and Kelly are heading to the place where it all began 30 years ago, the cabin. One thing stands in their way, Fisher and Ruby have caught up with them. Things are also a little awkward between Pablo and Kelly, after all, she did try to screw him, then she tried to kill him.

With Christmas rapidly approaching and Krampus opening in theaters this weekend, the anti-Santa is everywhere, including Austria’s yearly Krampus parade. At the “Krampuuslauf Graz” parade, known as “The scariest parade on Earth”, hundreds of people dressed in their scariest Krampus themed costumes join to celebrate the legend and scare who they can. The centuries old legend of Krampus has Germanic roots. The beast is St. Nicholas’ other, darker half. His job is to punish naughty children. Krampus, half-demon, half-goat, literally beats the naughty out of bad kids with birch sticks, before dragging them into the underworld. In Norse mythology, Krampus is the spawn of Hel and arrives in town on December 6th. I don’t know about you, but after seeing these terrifying characters, I swear, I’ll be good next year. I would hate to get on Krampus’ list.

Series creator, Sean S. Cunningham recently discussed his new project, the Friday the 13th series coming to the CW, with FANGORIA. A lot of horror fans have doubts about the new show and its choice of networks, but Cunningham seems confident that the series will do great. “We went with CW because they are probaly the most successful genre distributor in the world because not only strong in the U.S., but around the world with their other titles, in particular Arrow and The Flash. They know that market and they know their audience. They’re very smart and very psyched about doing the project.” The series will focus on a detective and his quest to find his missing brother, some how tied to Jason Voorhees. Jason, long thought dead, is back and the body count is rising. The once secluded camp, is now part of a thriving town and the town’s residents aren’t sure if Jason has really returned or if

Fans all over the world have eagerly been awaiting the January 24th premier of the X-Files! In just over a month, we will finally get a chance to see Special Agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) on their television sets again. However, X-Files creator, Chris Carter, has confirmed that the two will not be together this season and that they are, in fact, seperated. Carter went on to say with an interview with TV Guide that, “it was important for me to be honest about where I felt the characters would be seven years later.” However, there is hope as he ended his statement with, “There’s always the possibility that they will patch up their differences.” Fans of the series have always loved the back and forth/will they won’t they between Mulder and Scully. In 2008’s “I Want To Believe,” fans finally got their answer as we saw the two officially together on the big screen. It took

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse will be coming to DVD on December 8th, just 39 days after it’s theatrical premiere. Christopher Landon, who also directed ‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’, is behind the film about three Scouts who join forces with a bad-ass waitress to survive when their town is swarmed by zombies. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse stars Patrick Shchwarzenegger, Tye Sheridan, Halston Sage, David Koechner and Jesica Ahlberg, among others. Human zombies aren’t the only things the cast will have to face. They also have to dodge, a horde of crazy zombie kitties who want to make a meal out of the group. Scouts Guide is just one of several new films that will be part of Paramount’s experiment that will test if the normal 90-day period studios wait to release films on DVD is really the right way to go. Either way, fans are grateful for the early releases.

There are a lot of strange creatures on Earth. Some look like they’re from another world, others look like they escaped from scene out of a horror film. A lot of people find sharks terrifying, but the Goblin Shark looks like something that would make you want to avoid the ocean for the rest of your life. The Goblin Shark is pink, with a mouth that shoots out of it’s face. The shark can reach up to 3.84 meters long. It’s so strange that it does not fit in any other shark family. Don’t worry, the odds of you running into this creepy creature are slim, it prefers the deep sea. For zombie fans, the next oddity should be right up your ally. Technically this strange thing is a fungus, but I believe it belongs on this list. The Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus, infect insects, turning them into real life zombies by controlling its host’s actions in the name of

With every new year comes a new Call of Duty. It has joined Death and Taxes on the list of inevitabilities. Thankfully, Black Ops 3 once again gives us the pleasure of blasting the heads off of shambling corpses. I’ll be honest, it’s the main reason I bought the game. Ever since they were introduced back in World at War, I have been an avid zombie hunter. This year, they changed it up a bit -although it does borrow some mechanics from older maps. Previous games have had well known faces and voices in your control as you take on the hordes of undead, and this one is no different. We get Neal McDonough (Arrow, Minority Report), Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, The Hangover), Ron Pearlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy), and my personal favourite – Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park). All based in a 40’s era noir-esque map accompanied by some catchy jazz riffs. However, even with others boasting awesome
