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: Song Of The Week – NINE INCH NAILS “Closer”
Here we go! It’s Friday, time to kick back and enjoy the weekend and what better way than by cranking a killer tune to set the mood?! This post was inspired by artist Kawehi.

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 […]
BEYOND FRIGHT: Song Of The Week – Strapping Young Lad: “Love?”
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!
Greetings, fiends! I was skimming through today’s batch of articles on FEARnet (my full time day job) and read this fantastic retrospective by Gregory Burkart on Michael Jackson’s THRILLER. The long form music video/short film directed by John Landis actually premiered on MTV on this date, December 2nd 30 whole years ago! Whew! How many […]
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 […]
