Drinking With The Dread: Get Gothy And Intoxicated With CURSE OF CHUCKY
It’s GOTH-tober here at Dread Central, so that means this month’s Drinking With The Dread has to be drenched in Gothic horror decadence. Plenty of examples exist, but how many fit my midnight-sleaze parameters? Movies like Return Of The Living
Drinking With The Dread: DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE III Is The Ultimate Horror-Comedy Binge
This month, Dread Central’s theme is all about sequels. Am I cheating if my Drinking With The Dread spotlights a fake sequel? Ask me if I care. I’ve been praying to the glistening Greek gods for a reason to use
Drinking With The Dread: THIR13EN GHOSTS Unleashes Drinking Buddies From Hell
Dread Central’s “Haunted August” theme presents more of a challenge than usual this month. Haunted house movies rarely parallel the bonkers midnighters I tend to highlight around here. Either they’re sincere and dour or more family-friendly, neither of which permit
Drinking With The Dread: Pack Your Bags And Booze For SLEEPAWAY CAMP!
This month’s Dread Central theme keeps summer vibes afloat with “Camps & Cabins,” which - if you’re like me - brings a sigh of relief. Last month I asked you, faithful readers, to select whatever slasher flick you thought required
Drinking With The Dread: Raise Your Glass To 2000s Slasher Classic HATCHET
For this month’s “Summer Of Blood” themed Drinking With The Dread, I asked you, my intoxicated minions, to democratically choose your own drinking game fate. I'm here to deliver content y’all crave, so why not let you select the film
Drinking With The Dread: Punch More Than The Clock With ‘Worksploitation’ Gem MAYHEM
Welcome back, bruisers and boozers! The good people managing Dread Central have deemed this month’s theme “MAYhem,” which I'm more than happy to oblige. How better to bring the requested “mayhem” than with a movie titled Mayhem? That’s right, fellow
Drinking With The Dread: Gettin’ F#*king W-e-i-r-d With TOKYO GORE POLICE
Is Yoshihiro Nishimura’s Tokyo Gore Police the God-tier outlandish Japanese splatterfest of 2008? The 2000s? All-time? A large portion of my college years was spent devouring Asian exploitation cinema thanks to Netflix’s vast subgenre catalog (Dead Sushi, Vampire Girl Vs.
Drinking With The Dread: A Monster Mashin’ FEAST for All
March is “March Monsters” here at Dread Central - clever girl, Jonathan Barkan - which means it’s officially time we cover one of cha’boi’s personal favorite comfort horror watches. A Project Greenlight winner, maverick rule breaker, and all-around massively entertaining
Drinking With The Dread: A Drunken MY BLOODY VALENTINE (2009) Date Night
The year was 2009; thick into horror’s booming remake blitzkrieg. Studios unleashed updates on Friday The 13th, Sorority Row, The Last House On The Left, and Halloween II (kinda), but for my money, these exercises in unearthed nostalgia never topped Patrick
Drinking With The Dread: SANTA JAWS Is Chomping Through Town!
No, this is not some elaborate troll-job meant to trick Dread Central readers into watching basic cable garbage. I mean, Santa Jaws is “junk” by refined cinematic standards (see: snobbish) - but one person’s trash is another’s buried treasure. SYFY
Drinking With The Dread: SANTA’S SLAY Lays A Christmas Horror Smackdown
HAPPY KRAMPUSNACHT MY HOLLY-JOLLY DRINKING WITH THE DREAD FANS! Excuse my excessive showing of enthusiasm, but IT’S MOTHERFLIPPIN’ DECEMBER. Do you know what that means? CHRISTMAS HORROR SEASON. Sharpened candy cane daggers, possessed ugly sweaters, Krampus’ plucking of naughty children
Drinking With The Dread: When ZOMBEAVERS Attack!
Editor's note: Zombeavers is distributed by Epic Pictures Group, who are directly affiliated with Dread Central. They did not ask for this article nor were they aware of it prior to it being posted. To be 200% honest, this is
Drinking With The Dread: A NIGHT OF THE DEMONS Gets Boozy!
In 2009, Adam Gierasch’s Night Of The Demons resurrected an 80s cult classic. Dread Central’s own review is quoted on marketing materials calling it a “Rock ‘N Roll Horror Flick,” and I can’t argue that selling point. Late-00s industrial Type
Drinking With The Dread: A Howlin’ Good WOLFCOP Edition!
Half wolf. All cop. Dirty Harry, only hairier. Lowell Dean’s Canadian import WolfCop unloads a barrel full of campy werewolf puns into what can only be described as an after-dark beast that is 100% #myshit. Balanced low-budget horror comedies like
Drinking With The Dread: PIRANHA 3D Bites Back!
As the unending debate of “Greatest Horror Remakes” wages on, Alexandre Aja’s tearin’-flesh Piranha 3D continually rolls off my tongue. Maybe not #1, maybe not #3, but Aja’s “Lake Victoria” massacre (aka Arizona's Lake Havasu) attacks spring break festiveness with
Drinking With The Dread: TURISTAS Slathers On Sunscreen And Blood
John Stockwell’s Turistas blends early 2000 horror's post-Hostel surgery obsession with the director’s obvious attraction to beach-destination filmmaking (Blue Crush/Into The Blue). Ignorant foreigners find themselves stranded on Brazil’s backroads when their bus overturns, only to seek refuge at a
