Days Of The Dead: Indianapolis – They Came, We Saw, And It Kicked Ass

So here we are my Little Monsters, Days of the Dead: Indianapolis has been over for a full week and that post convention depression is still lingering, but at least I have completely recuperated from the festivities . The horror community tends to feel like a big family to me, and horror cons are like a huge family reunion of sorts. And even though I have been to many comic and pop culture conventions, horror cons are where I feel most at home. While I, as many of you do, enjoy films across all genres, horror is without a doubt my favorite of them all. For three days I got to spend time with my convention family, and now all I am left with, besides autographs and some other cool things I snagged, are the pictures I took and the memories. But they are some pretty damn cool pics memories, I must say. Attending Days of the Dead gave me

Movie Review: BETHANY Conjures Surreality And Madness That Gets Under Your Skin.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Felissa Rose

Horror legend status for a character in a horror film, this is an accolade that is normally attributed to the villains and either the last man standing or more often the final girl. It’s not very often that the villain and final girl happen to be the same character. But for a 13 year old Felissa Rose, this would be the case…well, sort of. And it would be this role, which incidentally was her very first, that would immediately solidify her position as a horror legend. This Long Island native would make her debut in the role of Angela Baker in the 1983 classic summer camp horror flick, Sleepaway Camp. All the while Felissa knew that she was the killer in question, but it was a shock even to her what the big reveal at the end of the film would be. At this point I’m not even calling the twist ending a spoiler, because the movie is nearly 34

We’re Headed Back To Sleepaway Camp In New Film

Back in 1983 we witnessed a character named Angela (Felissa Rose) reveal a big (I don’t know if big is the right word) secrete in a scene that shocked the hell out of horror fans, I’m talking about ‘Sleepaway Camp’. The slasher flick spawned four sequels and is now about to add another film to the franchise. Before you jump the gun and assume it’s a reboot/remake, I should tell you that it will be a direct sequel to the original film. Back in 2013 former New Line executive Jeff Katz obtained the rights. He will be producing the sequel with the franchise’s creator and writer Robert Hiltzik. Katz recently spoke about the project on The Movie Crypt podcast. He explained that the new film will reveal what Angela has been in a sanitarium all these years. In the sequel she escapes and returns to Camp Arawak. Katz hopes that Rose will reprise her role as Angela. Let’s be honest,

Death House Releases New Promotional Art

Death House, one of the most highly anticipated horror films of 2016, has just released new artwork by artist Sean Wilson. Director Harrison Smith had this to say about the new poster: We hope the artwork reflects the complexity of the film, hints of steam punk and also a solid sign of the horror Death House contains behind its walls. Smith pointed out an interesting detail about the artwork to me. If you look closely at the left eye (our right) you will see an aerial photo of the Death House facility. Smith, known for his films Camp Dread, The Fields, 6 Degrees of Hell, and Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard, not only directed but also penned the script, based on the original screenplay by Gunnar Hansen who played Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hansen gave Smith his blessing on the new script before he passed away in 2015. Death House features a cast of genre legends like we’ve
