Butcher Knives & Body Counts
a few months ago, an essay i wrote about my childhood experience with THE PROWLER was accepted into the slasher film anthology BUTCHER KNIVES & BODY COUNTS, published by DARK SCRIBE PRESS. the collection should see print this fall, and looks to be a ridiculously in-depth study of the slasher genre with contributions from over [...]
Stuff I’ve Been Watching (Human Centipedes and Boring Zombies Edition)
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) i rarely get horror movie related questions at work, despite being known as “the horror guy.” the exception to that rule happened earlier this year when i was asked on no less than four occasions if i’d seen THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE. usually the questions basically boiled down to “omg! i [...]
Most Memorable Horror One Liners Part Two
In part one of this contest, I presented the catchiest, funniest, and most all-around bad ass one liners in horror. In part two, things get a little stranger…. Most Unintentionally Funny Second runner-up: “I’m not going to let Simon hurt ya. Why should he have all the fun?” – Simon, from Simon Says One thing [...]
Most Memorable Horror One Liners Part One
I watched the original Predator a few days ago, a film I adored as a kid, but hadn’t seen since then. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I STILL enjoyed it. The characters are outrageous and exaggerated but likable, the story is simple, and the action is well-paced. But it’s the incredible one-liners that [...]
Two Ways To Kill Friends With An iPhone: Axe-a-Friend and App of the Dead
i was recently on a road-trip and spent a lot of time fiddling around with my iphone. between games of peggle and teaching talking carl obscenities (which is far more fun than expected), i discovered two horror film themed apps that i thought i’d draw your attention to: MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D: Axe-a-Friend and George [...]
Where Sequels Go To Die
Even the most illustrious horror franchise sometimes run out of ideas, and when they do, there’s apparently a rule in Hollywood that you must set your next sequel in either A) outer space or B) the Old West. I’ll admit that if they ever set a Jaws sequel in the Old West, I’d be pretty [...]
Evilontwolegs 2009 Movie Awards
as i sat down to start writing my best/worst lists for 2009, it quickly became apparent that this was a more complicated task than i first imagined. many of the noteworthy horror films of 2009 were interesting for reasons beyond simple polar categorization into ‘good’ and ‘bad.’ so, in addition to the typical best and [...]

Stuff I’ve Been Watching (gore & Megan Fox edition)
jennifer’s body maybe it’s because megan fox was a part of the travesty that is transformers 2 or because i had no idea going in that the film was scribed by juno writer diablo cody, but i expected jennifer’s body to suck and suck hard. given such low expectations, it’s not a huge shock then [...]
Impressions of a Black Christmas Virgin
With the holiday season upon us, I decided to finally sit down and watch the 1974 classic Black Christmas. Not only did it put me in a Yuletide mood, but now I can cross it off my list of films every horror fan has seen except me. Of course, I’d always heard about this film, [...]
