Greetings my Little Monsters. I see you have returned to find out which wonderful woman of the horror genre is in the spotlight today. As you have already seen, this week’s Woman Crush is the immensely talented Adrienne Barbeau. Adrienne is a California girl, born and raised in the city of Sacramento. Her career began when she started touring with the San Jose Civic Light Opera in 1963. It was when she went on tour through Southeast Asia with a musical comedy revue, to provide entertainment for military personnel, that Adrienne truly fell in love with acting. She moved to New York in the late 60’s to further pursue her dream of acting. And as many actors and actresses must do, she took a job that would pay the bills while auditioning for roles. One job she held while living in New York, was as a go-go dancer for a particular infamous organization. I won’t give their name, but I’ll

Here we are again, my Little Monsters, on another Woman Crush Wednesday. However, I have not chosen any specific woman of the horror genre to celebrate today. Why haven’t I made a selection for today? I promise you all, it’s not because I have been remiss in my duties as a writer. It’s because I wanted to give you, the readers, a chance to let your voices be heard…so to speak. What could I possibly mean by that? It means that since it’s International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate by finding out who your favorite woman or women in our beloved horror genre happen to be. Who’s you favorite final girl, your favorite scream queen, or you favorite female filmmaker? Elsa Lanchester? Simone Simon? Barbara Steele? Adrienne Barbeau? Marilyn Burns? Katharine Isabelle? Jessica Cameron? Amanda Wyss? I know there are so many to choose from besides the ones I have just mentioned, but I sincerely want to know. Women

While many fans are looking forward to the next installment of the ‘Jeepers Creepers’ franchise, some can’t overlook writer-director Victor Salva’s past (which is understandable). Some have even signed the petition to boycott the film and block it from opening in theaters. ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ has already run into trouble once. Now, the film has lost one of its headlining stars. Scream Queen Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Carnivâle, Creepshow, The Thing) took to Facebook to make it clear that she won’t be appearing in the film after all. She was set to play the role of “Gaylen Brandon”, a women hell bent on revenge for the death of her son. It is unclear why she won’t be taking part in the ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’. The movie is listed on her IMDb page, so it leads us to believe that she has chosen to back of the film for some unknown reason. We can’t help but assume it has something to

We’ve been talking about ‘Jeepers Creepers 3‘ for a while now. There were doubts that the film even get made. Well, after a 13 year wait, the Creeper is officially on his way. ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ began filming in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Monday (Feb 20). The name has not been confirmed, but it appears to be ‘Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral”. After several false starts, rumors, and delays, Victor Salva‘s sequel has finally taken flight after a 13 year wait. Salva, who remains a controversial director, began the franchise back in 2001. According to sources, we will find out more about the Creeper, who wakes every 23 years to feed for 23 days, in the new installment. Gina Philips returns as Trish. Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog) will be playing ‘Gaylen Brandon’. Stan Shaw (The Monster Squad) will co-star as ‘Sheriff Tashtego’. Chester Rushing (Stranger Things), Ryan Moore (Pitchfork), Brandon Smith (From Dusk Till Dawn), Justin Hall (Django Unchained), and Gabrille

Friday. November 11th. Death House is officially done. Like the 2016 election, it will soon be in the hands of the people to make their decision. Hear my personal views on this film at 22:30 here on Postmortem Radio just published Nov. 8, 2016: HERE https://www.horrorphilia.com/postmortem-radio-episode-016-inside-death-house-wdirector-harrison-smith/ It’s been a long road. Gunnar Hansen, who created the project, is not here to see it emerge from the post production studio. We wrapped principal photography May 5th. Six months later we have a finished film. it is true…making a movie is akin to a minor miracle. Making one with the largest collection of horror names in a single picture, to date…that’s something else. This is a personal entry from me on this film. From its director and its writer. It’s not a pitch. Those who want to see it will see it. Those who don’t will likely see it anyway. Many will love it. Some won’t. It’s the way it goes anytime

The first full trailer for ‘Death House’ has arrived and it is incredible! From Harrison Smith (Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard,The Fields, 6 Degrees of Hell, Camp Dread) comes a horror film the likes of which we’ve never seen. No other horror film in history has had such an enormous cast of genre icons. In the film, “Agents Toria Boon and Jae Novak have their own dark pasts, arriving at Death House to tour its levels and observe its denizens first hand as well as the medical and mental experiments of Drs. Eileen Fletcher and Karen Redmane—their depraved experiments date back to the Nazi doctors of World War II. Prison cells are virtual reality holodecks that recreate prisoner environments before they were incarcerated. A special hallucinogenic gas keeps inmates under control. The victims are homeless bused into Death House to play literal victims while killing habits are studied. The results are sick, but only a hint of what goes on here.
