But I stumbled onto a really decent vampire flick good enough to make me want ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/06/25/30-days-of-night-2007/ Why do older horror movies Rock?
It's true that, for the most part, these days I'm not watching horror flicks with my kiddoes around. I have to do it late at night after they're asleep (which is sometimes very late) and frankly, I just don't have the "grapes." It stinks ... but there is a lot to ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/15/why-do-older-horror-movies-rock/ White Noise (2005) It's hard to imagine this only came out a few years ago. I distinctly remember watching it at home what seemed like a million years ago. Then again, I also thought it was starring Mel Gibson (now reduced to "sugar tits" fame). This is how old I'm getting. Mel Gibson ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/09/white-noise-2005/ Troma on XBox Live If you're a fan of movies like Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, or Killer Condom - the very worst of B-movie fare - you'll be overjoyed to hear that the Xbox 360 downloadable movie database has expanded to include some time honored Troma favorites. They aren't carrying Teenage Cat Girls in ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/08/troma-on-xbox-live/ Near Dark (1987) Sometimes I get caught up in other people's interpretations of movies that I know ... and still manage to love. This was one of the first horror movies that I because obsessed over, watching it again and again. Putting it on VHS and pulling the tab! This was, and in ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/07/near-dark-1987/ Dark Water/Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara (2002) This was the third or fourth movie directed by Japanese genius Hideo Nakata. Again, the story behind Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara was taken from written work by Koji Suzuki, and successfully remade for the American screen. Your heart immediately goes out to the movie's lead character. Yoshimi Matsubara (played by ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/04/dark-waterhonogurai-mizu-no-soko-kara-2002/ Free Comic Book Day - May 3rd Comics and horror movies often become intertwined, and tomorrow, you'll be able to get a special glimpse at some new stories by stopping by shops participating in Free Comic Book Day .

PIN is proof that what we're feeling isn't always natural ... or healthy. It's also creepy as all get out. Pin - or rather, Pinnochio, is an anatomically-correct medical dummy Dr. Linden uses to explain body processes to his children. Through Pin's clear skin, there are organs and ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/02/pin-1988/ Night Tide (1961) Late one night, or actually early one morning, I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I clicked on the tube, and stumbled across a black and white movie featuring a baby-faced young blond actor. I couldn't quite put my finger on it ... and then, was it really? ... http://frightflicks.today.com/2008/05/01/night-tide-1961/ Keep Your Tail to Yourself My mom was a monster flick fanatic, and some of my earliest memories are sitting around with her on Saturday afternoons, cutting cinnamon rolls with string and watching Commander USA's Groovie Movies.
