WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny how watching one film that mentions how certain actors got their start in horror can spark a whole article!

Two Actor Films
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s not a secret, you already know I’m a sucker for films with teeny‑tiny casts. Not too long ago we discussed films with only one actor, so this time I’m shining the spotlight elsewhere. I may only be featuring six films here, but trust me—there are plenty more double‑acts …
Silver Screen to Small Screen
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Television and cinema were once seen as separate worlds but it seems that in the last decade, maybe longer, franchises in particular have been expanding – moving from the silver screen to bringing us stories in our own homes, increasing character storylines or introducing new ones; like Star Wars …
Killer Couples
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Given that it’s supposedly the most romantic day of the year tomorrow, why not have an article focused on couples? Now consider who’s writing this article – these aren’t going to be your romantic “lovey-dovey” couples. When people think of killer couples, I’m sure the first people that come …

Horror Director – George A.Romero
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Much like Wes Craven, to most people Romero is well known for the Night of the Living Dead franchise which is currently 6 films (with a potential 7th and final in the works) – so once again I wanted to focus on his directorials outside of this. I mentioned …
Horror Director – Lucio Fulci
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s interesting to think that Lucio Fulci is referred to as the “Godfather of Gore” when I honestly don’t find any of his films, the ones that I’ve seen of course, especially gory. What I did notice however is that he seems to have a fascination with focusing on …
Horror Director – Tobe Hooper
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It seems that this spook-tacular month is turning into a tribute to directors that found their way on to the video nasties list, Tobe Hooper being one to have only a few in comparison to others but more on that later. What I like about Hooper is that he …
