Some serial killers need a right hand knife, especially when they also happen to be the director and composer. Such was the assistance John Carpenter required after not only making HALLOWEEN. but also creating the most notorious, and toe-tapping theme in horror score history. That’s how sound designer-turned-composer Alan Howarth was brought into the series with HALLOWEEN 2 and given the “in association” credit for his teaming with Carpenter. Skillfully abetting that film’s far more visceral shocks with eerie atmospheres and relentless rhythms, the collaborators next turned to computer-generated horror for the series SEASON OF THE WITCH. However, HALLOWEEN‘s most […]Read On »

The 2011 EyeGore Awards were held at Universal Studios Hollywood on Friday night – just as Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights kicked off its annual haunted park event. Corey Feldman hosted the event with a CHILDREN OF THE CORN-esque stage backdrop providing fodder as a scarecrow proved to be Feldman’s comedic foil throughout the night. David Arquette won for his role in the SCREAM movie franchise. After accepting the award from his friend Thomas Jane, Arquette said, “I love the support of horror fans and the things they love. They’re a bunch of goofballs, just like me.” Bailee Madison, the […]Read On »

LONGLEGS movie poster | ©2024 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Nicolas Cage, Michelle Choi-Lee, Lauren Acala, Kiernan Shipka, Ava Kelders, Carmel Amit Writer: Osgood Perkins| Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 12, 2024 LONGLEGS succeeds at being admirably scary, leavened by some very funny moments. Mixing FBI procedural thriller with supernatural chiller, writer/director Osgood Perkins has made a film that feels something like a hybrid of 1991’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and 1982’s HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. (The latter isn’t a spot-on comparison, but it’s close as far as the magical mechanisms.) We get quite a […]Read On »

One of these is the slasher, which has its own collection of sub-subgenres. IN A VIOLENT NATURE seems aimed at those who can differentiate between, say, a HALLOWEEN film and a FRIDAY THE 13TH. The new movie definitely falls into the FRIDAY category. Instead of a summer camp, it’s an old mining […]Read On »
