Anchor Bay’s Mind-Bending Horror Thriller MR. JONES Heading Your Way In May!
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to check out Karl Mueller’s genre and mind-bending thriller MR. JONES recently, and while our review of the film will be up later this week, I will say it was one hell of a time. Having previously written the Xavier Gens-helmed thriller THE DIVIDE, Mueller’s directorial debut […]

Beyond Fright: GONE GIRL Trailer Looks Creepy, Eerily Familiar!
The debut trailer for Fox’s upcoming David Fincher-helmed GONE GIRL has made its way online, and hot damn, does it look great. Personally, I’m a massive fan of Fincher’s stuff, and the score work that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have done for Fincher’s last two films (THE SOCIAL NETWORK, which they won an Oscar for) […]

Wait, Huh? Jerry’s Most “WTF” Double Feature Experiences!
Growing up in the ’80s, my childhood was filled to the brim to double features. Whether in the local multiplex, or at the drive-in, there wasn’t a single thing that I enjoyed more than giving the box office my couple of bucks, and seeing whatever weird ass double features they programmed. I wasn’t around during […]

Beyond Fright: Harley Poe’s “I’m A Killer” & “Ouija”
In 2000, a friend of mine had a compilation that had quite a few tracks from punk rock, hardcore and various other genres on it, all from the Tooth & Nail Records label. Only a couple of the bands really stood out to me, one of which called themselves ‘Calibretto 13′. Sounding like punk rock […]

April marks the 10 year anniversary of Icons Of Fright and we’re doing all sorts of fun things to celebrate! That includes bringing back some columns from the past and one that I always enjoyed doing was the “Song Of The Week” bit. Nothing too fancy. I just liked to share one rockin’ tune first […]

Happy 30th To Michael Jackson’s THRILLER!

Beyond Fright – “I Was At Nirvana Unplugged…”
“I Was At Nirvana: Unplugged…” I’ve got a confession to make. When I was about 17 years old, I was at MTV’s live taping of Nirvana’s now legendary Unplugged performance. I didn’t realize at the time just how important this gig would end up being, both for the band and for pop culture music history […]

BEYOND FRIGHT: Song Of The Week – Dwight Twilley Band “Looking For The Magic”
There is nothing quite like discovering your new favorite song when watching a movie. It’s a little added bonus that you weren’t expecting, and in all honesty how I’ve come to discover & love a good majority of the music I listen to today. So this past Thursday when I went to the midnight showing […]

Beyond Fright: Hilarious Team Behind THE TAINT Returns With SCIENCE TEAM!!
2012′s THE TAINT was a fresh breath into the exploitation genre, with its hilarious story (tainted water turning men horny, aggro, and making them ready to kill) and incredibly impressive special effects done by co-director Drew Bolduc. After taking a break to handle SFX on Troma’s RETURN TO NUKE ‘EM HIGH VOL.1, Bolduc and co. […]

Beyond Fright: Brand New Lyric Video For Ex-Misfits’ Guitarist DOYLE’s “Valley of Shadows”
Little known secret: I’m a huge Misfits fan. I worship the Danzig-era, equally dig the Michale Graves-era and downright want to vomit at the present day incarnation of the band (if you would call it that), but yeah, Misfits forever for me. So, imagine my surprise when out of nowhere, ex-Misfits guitarist, Doyle Wolfgang Von […]

Beyond Fright Review: DEVIL’S KNOT
It’s never easy to separate the truth from fiction, or at times, understand why some biopic films make the decision to focus on the wrong individuals instead of the people whose lives were truly affected. While the film itself is somewhat well done in the whole scheme of filmmaking and is an effective court-drama, DEVIL’S […]
