With the release of Scream 4, this weekend we will surely see some debate about what are the best and worst Scream sequels.

Creating a great cinematic slasher/serial killer isn’t rocket science. Certain irreducible components must be accumulated—traits, if you will. Traits to explain why they don’t just stop hacking up teenagers and get a real job. Since teenagers are bratty, emotional little buggers to begin with, you don't have to go overboard to explain why somebody would rather see them with a tamping...

Interrupt your movie B. Steal your precious chocolate. The question is, what will you be watching?...

Oh no, how can this these be? According to DeadlineHollywoodDaily, the Weinstein Co. has stopped pre-production on the upcoming sequel, Halloween 3 in 3-D!

This weekend, the Rob Zombie directed Halloween II got trumped by the fourth installment of the never ending Final Destination franchise.

Tonight at midnight, Halloween 2 will terrorize audiences nationwide. Woot Woot.  Last week, I attended the press conference for the film and got the rundown from the film's director, Rob Zombie, who for such a dark and juvenile director/musician is incredibly soft-spoken and introverted.  Check out some of the highlights from the press...

We previously brought you some of the teaser footage from Rob Zombie's H2 trailer earlier this week. Now, it has officially been released and you can view it in it's entirety.

We've all seen the "Best Horror Movie" lists that come out every year around this time.  Inevitably those things are full of films you probably would've liked if you're John McCain's age and saw them in black and white when they came out.
