During the recent Weekend of Horrors I met up with effects man Brian Spears (I Sell the Dead, Plague Town), who gave me a heads up that he had done some work for The Black Dahlia Murder on a video for their song “Everything Went Black”. Cool, right, but why the hell should you care?

This week’s Fear Itself episode promises to be the best one yet, if for no other reason than because it’s helmed by An American Werewolf in London director John Landis! It’s called “In Sickness & In Health”, and Landis intro’d a clip of the show just for Dread Central readers! Check it out below, and catch Fear Itself every Thursday night at 10/9c on NBC!

I guess we can take it as a good sign that the folks at Senator Distribution are finally going to be releasing All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (review) sometime soon since they finally came up with a new poster for the film, right?

Cinéma-vérité. Reality horror. An unblinking look at terror at its most shaky. Call it what you will, the new trend of shot-on-the-cheap films featuring “found footage” from some horrifying incident or another isn’t going away anytime soon.

A story in Variety regarding Hammer’s upcoming production slate last week must have completely slipped under our radar, but I guess it’s all right that it happen from time to time. We punish ourselves and move on.

Okay, by a show of hands ... who is ready for more tourists getting sliced up because they meandered into the waiting clutches of foreign psychos? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Love it or hate it, The X-Files was a cultural milestone that brought horror back in a big way. Like the rest of America, I went through the mid-Nineties completely addicted and eagerly anticipated the Friday night paranoia of agents Mulder and Scully. But following the departure of writers Glen Morgan & James Wong and the first big screen movie, the show took a creative nosedive and slowly burnt out through season after season of bad story arcs.
