Snapshot: "American Horror Story" (TV Series)

A new haunted house drama premiered Wednesday night on FX that was created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the creators of "Glee". The series centers around the Harmon family, who move from Boston to Los Angeles after Ben (Dylan McDermott) has an affair. They get a great deal on an old mansion, finding out once they buy the home that the previous owners were involved in a murder suicide and that the house is haunted. I'm assuming this is where all that weird fetish imagery that they've been promoting in the trailers happens?

My Crappy Halloween Costume

The year was 1984; yours truly was a spry nine year old boy intent on living out my wildest fantasies on Halloween and become something I wasn't. Oh, and to collect copious amounts of candy of course, but that transformation into some kind of monster or hero was a driving factor ever year when the leaves turned yellow and the winds began to howl.

Retro Snapshot: "The Killer Must Kill Again"

"The Killer must Kill Again" is an undermentioned 1975 Giallo directed by Luigi Cozzi. It's got all the elements of a classic yellow thriller; sex, violence, sexy violence and J&B Whiskey. Actually, it is short on one big element from the Giallo lexicon, red herrings. This is because from virtually the first frame of the film we are introduced with full face time to the story's gaunt, monastically coiffed killer. His motivations are the stuff of conjecture and that keeps the audience invested in the promise of a revealing finale of some sort.

Horror Headlines: Thursday October 6th, 2011

The good people at Summit Entertainment have picked up the rights to a big screen adaptation of Laura Whitcomb's "A Certain Slant Of Light". The film will be called "In the Flesh" and focuses on a spirit who has trouble moving on and finds love while bouncing around in limbo. Or something like that. The producers of "Twilight" are involved, that's all you need to know.

I'm not going to lie. Some days writing the new is kind of boring. Today my friends is not one of those days though. Because today we have the trailer for "Gingerclown 3D", a new horror comedy set in the mid 80's that includes none other than Mr. Tim Curry and Michael Winslow in its cast. Michael Winslow, the guy who made all the cool noises from the "Police Academy" movies. Now you're excited, aren't you? The rest of the news is really going to be a let down for you now.

Fans of Scott Spiegel, and who isn't, will be excited to know that his 1989 classic(?) "Intruder" will finally(?) be getting the Blu-Ray treatment on December 13th. The slasher that takes place in a supermarket will be packed with all kinds of goodies like audio commentary, making of featurette and cast audition tapes. Not going to lie I have never seen or heard of this film. I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore.

If there's one thing porn stars can't do it's act but 20 seconds into the trailer for "Blood Lodge" which stars Jasmin St. Clair there's two girls making out so I'm going to allow this. I think some of them become zombies. In short a bunch of people go on a ski trip, screw and then get killed. That about covers it. But seriously, two girls making out.

In Real People News: 

If you're a gal out on the town looking to sexually assault a 13 year old boy what better way to alert of him of your intentions then by slipping a little lover letter into his burrito. That's not a euphemism, she really put a note in his burrito.

Oh boy, have we not learned anything from the Casey Anthony trial? This family who Googled "how to kill old people" before attempting to murder their grandfather apparently didn't. For shame.
