31 Days of Halloween: Day 20 – The Mist
I get so much crap for liking this movie, but I think it’s worth mentioning on this list. Starring Thomas Jane, The Mist puts a group of confused and scared survivors trapped in a supermarket isolated from a strange fog outside. What’s inside the mist is the question of many of the people, as the [...]
Box Office: It Was a ‘Wild Thing’ Weekend
The October box office is heating up. Thanks to two new hot releases and a horror movie that is burning up the charts the Hollywood box office is seeing dollar signs. The number one movie this weekend belonged to director Spike Jonze’s adaptation of the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are. Pulling in $32.6 [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 19 – Hellraiser
Visually disturbing and graphically entertaining, Hellraiser showed the world one of the most demonic and evil visions of the supernatural realm. When a man unknowingly purchases a demonic puzzle, he soon discovers it opens our world to the monsters that the puzzle entraps. Clive Barker’s horrific film still remains in cult status today, as with [...]
The Six Worst Comic Book Movie Villains
Here is a list of what I think are some of the six worst villains in a comic book movie. I went through my DVD library and I picked out some of the villains that really upset me when I watched them. Some were just awful right out of the gate, while others started out [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 18 – Halloween
Jamie Lee Curtis got her career started by being chased by a murderous lunatic. Not Gary Busey, but her insane brother Michael Myers. In Halloween, Michael escapes a mental institution after years of incarceration for murder as a child, to find his sister.

Cover Of The Week: The Marvels Project #3
My love for Captain America knows no bounds. While we wait for Steve Rogers to return to the Marvel Universe we can count on some Cap coverage from the past in The Marvels Project. This cover is a haunting image and shows us the birth of a legend. See the cover after the jump.
31 Days of Halloween: Day 17 – 30 Days of Night
Based on the graphic novel of the same name, 30 Days of Night puts vampire horror in one of the best suited places for the bloodthirsty monsters to roam: Alaska. Since the Northern Territories experience extended periods of perpetual sunlight/darkness, it would not serve to be a great place to live, but more like a [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 16 – The Sixth Sense
I will never forget the kid in middle school that ruined the ending of The Sixth Sense for me. That did not stop me from going to watch it. There are a lot of people who are divided on M. Night Shyamalan’s talent as a director and storyteller, especially concerning Signs, The Village, and Lady [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 15 – A Nightmare on Elm Street
Wes Craven is a staple of the horror film genre. One of his most classic movies is 1984′s A Nightmare on Elm Street. Although they ended up later become more cheesy then scary, the original was by far the best in the series. It was the first feature that box office star Johnny Depp acted [...]
Trailer for Gibson’s Edge of Darkness
As much as America loves to watch the high and mighty fall, they love comebacks more. When Mickey Rourke was up for an Oscar for his role in The Wrestler, lots of people were hoping he’d win. Regardless, it might take one big public screw up to damage a star’s career for life, but one [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 14 – The Wicker Man
One Halloween a few years ago, IFC (Independent Film Channel) aired a movie called The Wicker Man. I had heard of it, and decided to watch it. When I finished watching it, I was not sure what I had just watched. The movie lacks jumpy scares and has a British cast (frightening by itself) and [...]

31 Days of Halloween: Day 13 – It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
This one won’t scare your socks off, but I think it deserves a place on the list. The classic Peanuts cartoons are filled with nostalgic and childhood dreams, and what better holiday to indulge in those memories then Halloween. This one, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, is my second favorite Peanuts special, behind A [...]
31 Days of Halloween: Day 12 – The Twilight Zone
A staple of classic television, The Twilight Zone ran from 1959-1964, and remains in syndication today. Rod Serling, who wrote 92 of the 156 episodes, would often narrate the opening of each episode, wearing the classic suit and cigarette in hand. Often dealing with supernatural, paranormal, or even extraterrestrial themes, The Twilight Zone helped craft [...]

31 Days of Halloween: Day 10 – Saw
When Saw was released in 2004, audiences around the country had never seen such gore and gratuitous blood in a film. Although the cast and production level were direct-to-DVD, the film got such a positive response at Sundance (the version shown was actually NC-17), and the movie got a feature film release. Jigsaw’s traps and [...]
