“Women in Horror Spotlight”: Kathryn Bigelow

Odds are that if you are familiar with director/producer/writer Kathryn Bigelow it will be for her Drama/Thriller pieces like K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, or for her outstanding work on The Hurt Locker (2008) for which she was the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director, she won the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing, she won the BAFTA Award for Best Direction, and she also earned the Critics Choice Award for Best Director. (This is on top of the awards that the film won on its own.) She is also the directorial force behind the recent blockbuster, Zero Dark Thirty (2012). The reason why Bigelow has earned a nod here is due to a western horror film she wrote and directed in 1987 towards the beginning of her career. The film was called New Dark and was about a small town farmer’s son who is turned into a vampire

A Look At The Web Series ‘Adult Wednesday Addams’

Wednesday, the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams, is a name we all recognize. The girl with a morbid obsession, with pigtails and dressed in black, is a true horror icon. We’ve all wondered what Wednesday would be like all grown up, now the webs series ‘Adult Wednesday Addams’ shows us the lady she has become.

Teacher Faces Jail Time For Showing Horror Movie

Teacher Sheila Kearns An Ohio teacher named Sheila Kearns could be facing jail time for showing classes the 2012 horror movie ‘ABC’s Of Death’. The 58 year old substitute teacher will stand trail on five felony charges of “disseminating matter harmful to juveniles”. The teacher showed five Spanish classes, who’s students’ ages ranged from 14-18, the film. She was caught by the principle and then claimed to be unaware of it’s content. Her argument was that she does not speak Spanish herself. Each charge could earn Kearns a year of jail time and a fine of up to $2,500. She has since been terminated by the Board of Education. Personally, I can not imagine how she did not notice the movies content the first time she showed it. You would think that she would have seen what was playing while showing it five times. For those of you who are unfamiliar with ‘ABC’s Of Death’ let me explain further. The
