Freddy Krueger to guest star on Bones? Meh, not really. Winner of the Most Misleading Headline of the Day goes to these guys. Robert Englund will guest star on an episode of Fox’s Bones. The slasher-themed episode sees Brennan (Emily Deschanel) forced to attend her high school reunion when a murder sends her and Booth (Angel’s David Boreanaz) to the scene…
Last year, I was diagnosed with swine flu. Upon being quarantined in my flat, with much time on my hands, I scanned my movie archive. My first appropriate choice to keep my feeble mind busy was , the Spanish sleeper-hit that took many by surprise in 2007. I love that movie for many reasons. The claustrophobic intensity. The manic frustration of the residents trying to figure out what’s going on. And now, I shared their plight. I was ushered out of my Doctor’s office faster than a whore in church, once it was verified I was infected. Luckily for my sick butt, I was given a copy of 2 by a buddy (thanks Ishi!). So I was, as...

Sore experience: Watching five Saw films back-to-back I’m too hungover to update, and everyone is geeking out to Steve Jobs announcing the iPad anyway. In lieu of a test card, have this link to an article I wrote on the Saw All-Nighter for the Guardian. Try to ignore my stupid fucking hair in the byline photo. It was 2008. Mistakes were made.
Stalk @FYHorror on Twitter Tweet tweet, Clarice … We are finally on Twitter. This will keep you updated on new stuff as soon as it’s fired from the barrel of our minds. There might also be some musings from Jimboeth and Henry Hate. Morganonyx lives in a bloodstained shack in the depths of the woods, and is probably too busy hacking up pretty teens, but… Stranger things have happened, my pretties, stranger things have happened.
This is showing at the Curzon in Soho, this friday: 22/01/2010. House (1977) Dir. Nobuhiko Obayashi Japan, 87 mins, Japanese with English subtitles Curzon Midnight Movies and the Masters of Cinema bring you this rarely seen kaleidoscopic, supernatural, Japanese curio on the big screen – best described as ‘Scooby Doo on acid’ and compared to The Shining and The Yellow Submarine! When Angel takes her friends to her aunt’s isolated mansion, dormant secrets are set to terrify and test the girls to their limits.
With the upcoming A Nightmare On Elm Street remake to hit cinemas this spring (Friday 7 May 2010) I thought it would be interesting to ponder whether or not the “new” Freddy Krueger will be a success. For those of you who don’t know (anyone?), legendary Freddy actor Robert Englund will not be reprising the role he made his own when the original was released 26 years ago. Unlike fellow popular slasher franchises Friday The 13th, Halloween and A Texas Chainsaw Massacre (who have chopped, changed and rearranged the actors for their iconic villains more times than Jason, Michael and Leatherface have chopped, changed and rearranged their victim’s bodies) Englund has played antagonist Freddy Krueger in every A Nightmare...
I’m writing this for a few reasons. One, I fucking love rock’n’roll. Second, I love horror films. Finally, a certain web site’s top 10 was, well, in satanic terms – fucking sacrilegious! Hell yeah I said it. Whose mother wrote that shit? Whoever it was didn’t do enough drugs or catch enough VD. Not very rock’n’roll. Come on – where’s the sex, where’s the drugs, where’s the frantic NO from your mom decreeing Thou Shall Not See This Movie?! They say the Devil has the best fucking tunes (well, I have fucked to most of them, at one time or another). So right here is my humble list of rock’n’roll movies you must see. And if you get the...
