GUNS DON'T WORK!

GUNS DON’T WORK!

Scarecrows is a film filled with bursts of shouting. Here's my favourite shouty bit.
Pussy from The Sopranos is eaten by a sound system

Pussy from The Sopranos is eaten by a sound system

An actor's career is a roller-coaster ride. At one point in your career, you could be a featured player in one of the greatest television shows of all time. At another point, you might be getting eaten by a possessed sound system in an 80s heavy metal horror movie.
The Zero Boys (1986)

The Zero Boys (1986)

I say definitely give The Zero Boys a shot. It's a neat take on slashers, survival horror, and action that, judging by the fact that I hadn't heard of it in the twenty-five years I've walked this Earth, gets overlooked way too often.
Brion James nightmare

Brion James nightmare

The late Brion James was brilliant and out of control in everything he was in, but his role in House III: The Horror Show is particularly spectacular. Check out this incredibly insane nightmare sequence that features James decapitating a child and dressing in drag.
An interview with Brian Yuzna

An interview with Brian Yuzna

It was very daunting to speak to someone of such overwhelming achievements as Brian Yuzna. I found myself very nervous, but Brian is an excellent speaker with countless stories and a great, progressive outlook on filmmaking.

Michael Myers flushes someone down a toilet

Michael Myers flushes someone down a toilet

Happy Halloween! I'm a big fan of fan films. It's a chance to see famous characters doing ridiculous things, like, in the case of The Resurrection of Michael Myers Part 2, Michael Myers flushing someone down a toilet.
Killer Party (1986)

Killer Party (1986)

Killer Party has a bad rap. It hops from genre to genre and has a distinct lack of bloodletting, which would surely frustrate horror fans. But if you can enjoy it for what it is, you're in for a magically entertaining time.
Shut your HOOOOOOLE!!!

Shut your HOOOOOOLE!!!

Hell Comes to Frogtown doesn't quite deliver on its promise of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper pounding his way through hordes of mutant frogmen, but this moment almost makes up for that...
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - French poster

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors – French poster

In our final Wes Craven post for the week, I give you the glorious French poster for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
Finger lickin' good!

Finger lickin’ good!

Though Wes Craven's Shocker doesn't garner the same respect as A Nightmare on Elm Street or Scream, it's a hell of a lot of fun. Here's my favourite moment, which, though sadly trimmed by censors, packs a painful punch.
Lifeforce - Japanese poster

Lifeforce – Japanese poster

Lifeforce is known in Japan under the more exciting title Space Vampire. There are a lot of great posters for Lifeforce, but I think this is my favourite.
