After careful consideration I have taken down Dark Discussions Horror Forum. It no longer had any active members—not even me!—so it was use to neither man nor beast. The Spammers seemed to love it though, and that only caused me more work. The final straw came when I tried to make the site conform to…

Dean Koontz has sold over 400 million books, but he rarely does TV interviews. This one with Anthony Mason is pretty good. It’s worth watching it just to see the size of Dean Koontz’s personal library.

I received an email from ChiZine today. They are having a Black Friday sale, and the sale is going to keep on keeping on until 26th November. Why are they having a sale?

If you have seen Howling II you will no doubt remember that there was a punk group in the film. The name of the group was Babel and Stephen W. Parsons played the lead singer. Parsons also wrote the soundtrack for the film and, according to IMDb he has since written the soundtracks for another…

These are the days of the internet though, and I have just found most of the episodes online. I have just finished watching the first one, Marionettes,…

My last post was about the the upcoming sequel to the The Killer Shrews. I have just found out that the official website is now live; check it out: The Return of the Killer Shrews. Before you do though, turn up the sound on your computer because the site has some sound effects.

The Killer Shrews was released in 1959. Now, over half a century later, a remake is on the way. The original film was a low-budget B movie, and the giant killer shrews were just dogs in drag. It had a certain charm to it though, and even to this day many people love it; so…

According to Hollywood Reporter Anthony Hopkins may play Alfred Hitchcock in Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, a big screen adaptation of Stephen Rebello non-fiction book about the director. Rebello’s book tracks how Hitchcock, already a very successful director, decided to make a horror film. Unfortunately none of the studios liked the idea. Not…
