HOME ALONE: A HORROR MOVIE DISGUISED AS A HOLIDAY FAVORITE
I was graciously asked to participate this year for the Shit Movie Fest’s annual “25 Days of Shitmas” celebration of Christmas movies. Being a total Chicago snob, I jumped at the chance to dissect and review the John Hughes classic, HOME ALONE. I love writing about horror movies, but having the chance to write about […]
IT’S NOT NAUGHTY, IT’S GUILTY: HOW SANTA CLAUS RUINS THE SCARES FOR CHRISTMAS HORROR
I hate Christmas. Call me Scrooged until you’re blue in the face, but I think the entire Christmas season can take a jolly ole sleigh ride fa-la-la-la-far the Hell away from me. Now that radio stations are playing Bing Crosby on repeat and we’re pretending to actually find joy in a weather change that causes […]
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 […]

For residents of the Los Angeles area, Jumpcut Cafe and (in this writer’s opinion) the best horror podcast available, Killer POV, have a treat for you. Jeremy Gardner took the independent film scene by storm with his horror-drama, THE BATTERY. An insanely impressive directorial debut, THE BATTERY is without a doubt the proof of a […]
FRIGHT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF HORROR’S BREA GRANT!
Brea Grant is perfection incarnate. Period. A indie horror darling, Brea Grant skyrocketed into geek royalty as Daphne Melbrook on HEROES, as Mya Rockwell in Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN II, as Ryan Chambers on DEXTER, and my personal favorite, as Daenerys in the Funny or Die exclusive video WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS? To put it simply, Brea Grant […]
FRIGHT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH FANTASM DIRECTOR KYLE KUCHTA!
Kyle Kuchta was just another college kid trying to make his film thesis to graduate when he combined his love of filmmaking with his fascination with horror conventions. Fresh from it’s world premiere at Rock & Shock Weekend, the FANTASM director was gracious enough to give some of his time to talk with Icons of […]
HALLOWEEN 5 – The Most Misleading Teaser To The Most Disappointing Michael Myers Film
One of my fondest rites of passage into becoming a full fledged horror nut was when I got to see my first theatrical HALLOWEEN movie in theaters. I was 12 years old when I witnessed HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS on the big-screen and at that point I’d already read everything that Fangoria […]
