Beyond Fright: Marilyn Manson’s “HEART SHAPED GLASSES” Video
In the five albums prior to 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me, shock rocker Marilyn Manson established himself as a force to be reckoned with, a musician guaranteed to offend and completely refusing to abide by any rules set forth by anyone else, and committing a full on assault on the religious right wing .

Beyond Fright: A Look Back At David Lynch’s LOST HIGHWAY Soundtrack
Very few films affect me the way that David Lynch’s 1997 mystery/thriller (I consider it a horror film) LOST HIGHWAY does. Maybe it was the adventure I had to go through to see it (read about that here), or maybe its surreal, noir-like mood and tone of the film that made it so very easy to […]
BEYOND FRIGHT: SONG OF THE WEEK – BIOHAZARD “Punishment”
It’s Friday! TGIF! And time to rock out and kick the weekend off right! I know I haven’t done one of these in a while, but honestly, I’ve had The Punisher on the brain all week, so that’s the inspiration behind this “song of the week.” I mean, we had the great Mark Goldblatt, director […]

Like many horror fans, Denny has […]
Beyond Fright Review: SAVING GRACE B. JONES
You’ve got to hand it to distribution companies. Always good at marketing, they’re able to take a film that is one thing, and make it look as if it’s an entirely different entity altogether. Case in point: Image Entertainment’s DVD artwork for THE INVOKING, full of huge mansions and ghosts, when in reality the […]
Instagram Skulls & Slenderman: Why We Need To Stop Blaming Horror for Real Life Evil
I distinctly remember the first time I was ever exposed to horror, as it was one of the earliest memories I can ever recall. I was four years old and was supposed to be taking a nap. I never slept, so I crept out of my bedroom and snuck up on my mother who was […]
Beyond Fright Review: AIRPLANE VS. VOLCANO!!
If you’re cool, then you are probably naturally drawn to films that contain the word “VS.” in the title. Pretty much anything VS. something else typically means that the film will be likable, surprising, and just downright awesome. With The Kondelik brothers’ AIRPLANE VS.
