Horror has evolved tremendously since the likes of Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Ray Bradbury and many other literary visionaries put pen to paper, furthering the popularity of a kind of literature that has its humble beginnings in the 18th century. With the emerging of the film industry, the genre translated quickly and well into the, back then, new medium. But where does the genre stand today? Has it broadened its horizons, or was it streamlined for our fast-food society? Continue Reading →

The collaboration between director Jourdan McClure, author Ryan Finnerty and actor Bill Oberst Jr. has produced one of, if not the most outstanding independent genre film to come out next year: ‘Children of Sorrow’. Shaking off constrictive genre and filmmaking conventions, ‘Children of Sorrow’ goes deeper than most genre films today, adding an invisible layer that takes fear beyond what is seen on screen, beyond the definition of horror today. It has moved audiences who had the privilege of seeing the film at one of its screenings much more than to be expected going in. Continue Reading →

George McCluskey has been called “the busiest movie actor in the Midlands” and that claim probably holds true with George having over seventy movie credits to his name as an actor and is tirelessly adding to the list. Several of the films he is starring in are horror films and he has some very interesting ones coming out over the next couple of weeks. There is, for example, filmmaker Angie Bojtler’s horror film ‘Jacob’s Hammer’, in which George portraits Father Brian, filmmaker Jon Pegg’s thriller ‘The Quiet One’, currently in post production, and last but by far not least, the horror comedy ‘The Zombie King’, directed by Aidan Belizaire and co-written by George, who stars as Ed Wallace alongside Edward Furlong and Corey Feldman. Our Carsten Berg caught up with George McCluskey in between his busy schedule to talk about the man and the movies. Continue Reading →

For all those who know him, Ari Lehman does not need an introduction. For those who don’t know him, where have you guys been the last thirty odd years?

Our Carsten Berg caught up with Ari at the Rapture Horror Expo in Mesa Arizona to chat about Ari’s alter ego and what is coming at us from First Jason. Continue Reading →

Come on in and find out what the lovely and high maintenance Ms. Vampy is up to in the not too distant future. And, of course, what else Brooke is working on and passionate about. Continue Reading →
