Scream At 25

All the posts I've seen on "Scream" debuting 25 years ago today have name-dropped (rightly so) director Wes Craven - but none have even mentioned writer Kevin Williamson. Without his original screenplay (titled "Scary Movie") there would be no "Scream" franchise. Respect!

Murder Of The Orient Express

It's the end of the line for one of the world's most classic forms of travel, the Orient Express. Established in the 1880's, the Orient Express rolled from London or Paris to Istanbul. The iconic train makes it's last run today. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/06/orient-express-scrapped-final-journey

The Dark Ages: Exploring Medieval Horror

By Brent Snyder (2/28/2022) In the Dark Ages, just trying to survive day to day must have been like living in a horror movie. The Middle Ages were a time of superstition, starvation, sickness, violence and widespread belief in the supernatural - a perfect setting for horror films. And featuring a roster of folklore frights likes trolls, goblins, vampires, werewolves, giants, dragons and witches, the Dark Ages provide fertile ground to mine for horror stories. Consider that the classic tale of Beowulf and Grendel is at it's core about battling a monster. From the classic fan favorite "Army of Darkness" (original working title "Medieval Dead") to more recent productions like "The Head Hunter," medieval horror films range from psychological thrillers and supernatural fantasy flicks to action-packed monster mashes. My favorites in the genre include: "Army of Darkness" (1992) - Hail to the King, baby. Any discussion of Medieval horror has to featu...

Economic Disparity & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

By Brent Snyder (2/20/2022) It seems that everyone - and I mean everyone - online this weekend has chimed in with their opinions and/or reviews of the latest "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" currently streaming on Netflix. T he slasher "requel" stars Elsie Fisher as the new "Final Girl" facing off against the notorious chainsaw-wielding serial killer Leatherface. Some fans love it (I count myself in the "love it" camp) while others criticize it for a variety of reasons, including the circumstances that bring the Final Girl and Leatherface together. Produced by Legendary and directed by Fede Alvarez ("Evil Dead," "Don't Breathe"), the new TCM centers on a group of young entrepreneurs from "the city" who plan to buy up foreclosed property in the "ghost town" of deep rural Harlow, TX. - and turn it into some kind of hip progressive boho tourist destination. A primary knock against "Texas Chainsaw Massacre...
