You’re alone… it’s dark… it’s a notable calander date… suddenly you hear a noise… you turn around and see… the top ten slasher movie villains of all time! Ah, slasher movies. For years I was a classic horror snob and turned my nose up at the slasher genre, but I was a douchebag then and [...]
The character of Count Dracula is second only to Sherlock Holmes (and, one supposes Dr. Watson) when it comes to apperances in movies. Played by more actors that you can shake a stake at, today we’re going to jump into the coach waiting for us at the Borgo Pass and creep through the crypts of [...]
There’s a bit of a horror theme going on in here of late. Today we’re going to head out to the laboratory on the hill and take a look at the top ten creations of Dr. Frankenstein. Brought to life by Mary Shelley in 1818 in “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,” the Frankenstein Monster has [...]

The first movie monster I can remember being scared of is Pinhead from Hellraiser. I never saw Hellraiser back i the day, but just the image of Pinhead on the poster put the shits right up me. I was born in ’85, so I missed all of these films on their first run, but most [...]

Ok, so I lied about the last post being my last horror movie related post, but this should be a fun one. At our weekly movie night (Wednesday nights at James’ house – bring your own Doritos) James, me and James’ brother Matt watch and play all manner of movies and video games, but one [...]
In this, the last horror movie related top ten for a while (I promise), we’ll be taking a look at the top ten Hammer horror movies.
