Re: Goosebumps (2015) Trailer

As someone who spent many 5th grade recesses reading Goosebumps books, I was very intrigued when I first heard of this movie. After seeing the trailer, I am no longer nervous and cautiously optimistic, but 100% excited and confident that this will be one of my favorite movies of the year. It looks l...

new book about the best movies/shows to watch on Halloween

Here is a new commercial for the book Pumpkin Cinema: The Best Movies for Halloween. I am glad I found a use for my 25-year-old Count Dracula mask!

Re: Pumpkin Cinema: The Best Movies for Halloween ( new book

Thank you! Writing the book led me to several Halloween movies that I had never heard of, like The Midnight Hour and Cemetery of Terror, two horror films from 1985 that take place on Halloween and that really deserve more recognition. I was also introduced to many amazing short animated films like S...

Re: Most grotesque and gory movie?

Well, if we're talking about comically over-the-top gore, I don't think anything beats Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. But more along the lines of Cannibal Holocaust, I think the most extreme movie I've seen is Martyrs. That film showed me that even though I've been a horror fan for as long as I can rem...

Re: HIPPIELUVN'S HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON 2011

I just re-watched The Monster Squad last weekend, and had forgotten just how damn good it was. It has such a joyous spirit, and truly amazing special effects/monster designs. It has such an appreciation for the classic Universal monsters and it really does them all justice. I also love the little de...

Re: The Top 10 Horror Films of the Past 10 Years

In the 2nd part of my video, I listed several other films that I really liked--which didn't quite make my top 10-- and The Exorcism of Emily Rose is one of them. It's a very stylish, creepy, and intelligent movie.

Re: A guy was kicked out of Halloween Superstore!!!

Nah, this doesn't surprise me. Some stores will allow you to take photos but many do not. I remember a few years ago I was working on a short Halloween film and I needed lots of shots of Halloween decorations. I took my camera to a bunch of places--I was asked to leave Spencers, but I don't think an...

Re: Hellraiser (2012)

Yep, and it will be the first Hellraiser film where Doug Bradley will not be playing Pinhead. He was offered the role, but thought the script was weak, and that they weren't trying hard enough to revive the franchise and make it relevant. So most likely it will be yet another forgettable, cheap dire...

Re: Let Me In (2010)

I am so annoyed that 99% of horror films that Hollywood produces these days are remakes and sequels. Let the Right One In was a masterpiece, and easily one of the best horror films of the past decade. The reason for the remake is that vampires are popular again in pop culture, and because most Ameri...

Re: The official TRICK 'R TREAT thread. Film comes out 10/06/09!

Woah. I never win anything so I'm really shocked right now, but I was chosen as the grand prize winner in the Sam Fan Art Contest! That means so much to me knowing that Michael Dougherty was the judge. It's good to know that my Halloween obsession has finally paid off! You can see all of the fan art...
