Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

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...

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!

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...

Hey boils and ghouls, if you are looking for a wide variety of Halloween movies, TV episodes, and short films to watch this October, then hopefully my new book will help. It's called Pumpkin Cinema: The Best Movies for Halloween and it comes out next Tuesday. I did my best to sustain my Halloween sp...

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...

Halloween Awakening was bloody awesome!!! Wow! Thanks for sharing.

There were several interesting videos for the Trick 'R Treat fan art competition. They can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/trickrtreatmovie ... PE6QA773a8

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...

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.

I recently posted a video blog on Youtube where I counted down my favorite ten horror movies from the past ten years. I hope you'll consider some of these titles for spooktacular October entertainment :) And I also hope you will share with me your personal top ten list. Thanks! Part 1: http://www.yo...

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...

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...

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...

Have watched it 4 times now. BEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE EVER!!!

Last night I posted my first video blog on Youtube. It might be embarrassing or lame, but I figured it might appeal to those who love Halloween and film!

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...
