"Laid To Rest" Premiere Coverage!

Submitted by Tim on Wednesday, Apr 22nd 2009

Deep beneath the bowels of the Los Angeles Marriot Hotel resides Laemmle’s Grande 4-Plex Theater, a rustic Cineplex reeking with the age-old air conditioning, stale popcorn and urinal cakes. For some, a theater like this wouldn’t seem fitting for a Hollywood premiere. But when that film is a gritty slasher like Robert Hall’s "Laid to Rest", the combination is a match made in hell.

This past Saturday, a small crowd of die-hard horror fans assembled at the Grande 4-Plex to experience the the film's premiere, which hits DVD shelves everywhere this week.

Submitted by Casey on Tuesday, Apr 21st 2009

THE BEYOND

Starring Catriona MacColl, David Warbeck, Al Cliver

Directed by Lucio Fulci

Grindhouse Releasing

It seems that, since just about everyone in the world of horror is so well aware of "The Beyond", and, even more appropriately for me, everyone in the world of horror has already written their own opinions about it, that to add mine just seems, well, totally redundant. You might as well title this “Not Another 'The Beyond' Review”.

Win "Mum & Dad" DVD's!

Submitted by Eric on Tuesday, Apr 14th 2009

If you follow the foreign horror scene, you've probably heard of Steven Sheil's feature "Mum & Dad". It's the latest UK sickie to hit US shores, and our writer Todd recently chimed in with his own thoughts.

If nothing else, it proves that British productions are on the forefront of the genre, tackling themes and scenarios that other countries wouldn’t dare touch. “Mum & Dad” definitely pushes this type of subgenre in an exciting new direction.

Submitted by Casey on Tuesday, Apr 7th 2009

Last week in the Bargain Bin brought an onslaught of epic proportions upon our wallets. This week lightens the attack a bit with one major studio release and a whole host of solid direct to video titles.

Ben Rock talks "Alien Raiders"

Submitted by Eric on Thursday, Apr 2nd 2009

For my money, it's best to do as much as possible practically.

- Ben Rock

So what were the origins of "Alien Raiders"?

It was actually an idea of Dan Myrick's. His idea was to set something fantastic and grandiose like an alien invasion film in the most mundane place of all - a supermarket. The title at the time was actually "Supermarket".

Horror Hound Weekend 2009 Recap

Submitted by mark on Tuesday, Mar 31st 2009

Since our first Horror Hound Weekend as a full group (aka the first time we all met in person), the Bloody Good Horror crew has been counting the days to our reunion. That time has come and gone, and we are now stationed in our individual corners of the country recovering from White Castle overload and feats of obscene alcohol consumption.
