Return of the Living Dead

The horror-comedy. Perhaps the most difficult sub-genre of film to perfect. Most attempts at horror-comedy don't come off well. Either they're too scary without enough comedy or (more frequently) mostly humor with not enough horror. A lot of times they just come across as trying too hard and cheesy. But every once in a while a movie gets it just right. And when that happens, audiences embrace and celebrate the brilliant and elusive successful horror-comedy.

The San Diego Reader's Jay Allen Sanford is back with another batch of unused artwork for some of Hollywood's biggest (and littlest) flicks, and while this latest treasure trove of goodies is light on horror, it does reveal a little known factoid that you may have been completely unaware of.

Hey, indie horror fans in the San Diego area, Santa's showing up a little bit early this year - December 18th to be precise. That's when writer/director Joshua Hull's zombie comedy Beverly Lane will be making its West Coast premiere as part of Horrible Imaginings' Ghoul's Yule.

We sadly report, for those who haven't heard, the unforgettable Jewel Shepard has been diagnosed with breast cancer. And due to limited health insurance coverage, she is forced to raise a considerable sum of money to pay for the treatment. But this is a great opportunity for us to band together as a horror community and help one of our own. And you can get some pretty cool swag out of it, too.

A certain holiday is almost upon us, and for horror fans everywhere that means it’s almost time to party. What better B-Side for this Halloween weekend than a certain 45 Grave track from Return of the Living Dead? Do you wanna party? It’s partytime!

In case you haven't heard, several members of the creative team behind the award-winning Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and Bio Channel’s Inside Story: Scream have joined forces once again to pay homage to another genre classic, Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead.

Alrighty, then! The verdict is officially in! Did the documentary More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead fit the bill, or will it leave you hungry for more? We have our verdict and an exclusive clip for you right here!

The peaceful Hudson River Valley is about to find itself in the middle of a holocaust or two. Hudson Horror Show III: A Tale of Two Holocausts is a film festival scheduled for May 14, 2011 at the Silver Cinemas South Hills 8 in Poughkeepsie, NY featuring a line-up of five serious heavy-hitters of horror and gore.

We’re a funny bunch, us horror fans. Of all the emotions we experience watching our beloved freak shows, sadness usually ain’t one of ‘em. It’s hard to want to hug someone when they’re spitting up stage blood all over your screen, but every so often genuine empathy can be aroused in our hardened hearts for certain cinematic victims.

On the 31st of October every year, my wife and I have a Halloween “party.” We never invite anybody, but like bats coming out to feed on bugs at dusk, a freakish horde of friends and friends of friends magically arrive around sundown. They block the streets with their filthy cars and come dancing through our front and back doors like they own the place.

After a very quiet post-Labor Day weekend for new movies, where Resident Evil: Afterlife (review) was the only major film released widely (and owned the box office), this week's new horror DVD titles aren't aplenty either.

Two mega-hit fan favorites are on their way to Blu-ray high definition this fall, and that means that it is now officially "paaarrrtttyyyy tiiiimmmmeeeee" in 1080p!
