Fear Itself

Fear Itself Comes Home in September

Remember "Fear Itself"? It was sort of like "Masters of Horror" but not really very entertaining. In any event the short-lived show will make its home video debut from Lionsgate in September and at the very least the box is amazing!

Dinner for Fiends: Fear It Sucks

Though it takes us abut a half hour to finally get to discussing the NBC anthology show Fear Itself, when it is brought up the pure, dripping hatred Uncle Creepy holds inside that twisted thing he calls a heart for it is more than worthy of giving this DFF its title. It's scary!

Dreadtime Stories: Del Howison's "The Lost Herd"

Well over a year ago when I first had the idea to do a podcast series of horror authors reading their works for our readers, the first people I approached when I wanted to get a sponsor behind it was Burbank’s Dark Delicacies. Really, when it comes to horror fiction, you don’t get any better than them.

    How Did Fear Itself Do for Ratings?

    Variety reported the sad news today that Fear Itself, the horror anthology we've been talking about since last year, didn't pull the kind of ratings we were really hoping for. The show lost out to CBS's "Swingtown," which also premiered on June 5th.
