Those are some of the best looking creatures I’ve seen this week!” I’m not going to go into the people who made the FX or talk about the plots of the movies these beasties appear in… I’m just going to show you some rad-lookin’ creatures and briefly share why I like them, aesthetically.

Izzy’s Eerie Indies #5: Blood Bait (2024)

“If you want to kill a vampire, use a wooden stake. But if you want to catch it, then use a BLOOD BAIT.” So goes the tagline of Blood Bait, a short horror film about vampires, an obsessed man of science, a defrocked priest, and the ghosts of the past that haunt them all! With its story of reason versus faith, director Sam Krass’ film debut leverages low-budget charms to enhance its elements of nostalgia, self-aware humor, and a carefully-crafted gothic style. Blood Bait is the first “first movie” I’ve talked about in the Izzy’s Eerie Indies series, and it pays homage to a much-loved era in hor ..read more

Lisa Frankenstein Reanimates a Timeless Tale

If you grew up in the ‘80s and were even slightly goth, you knew a few things: The Cure helped get you through the most trying times of teenage hell, the best store at the mall was undoubtedly Contempo Casuals (where I purchased the majority of my own clothing), and no amount of heat styling or hairspray was ever too much – more is more, as it were.  Apparently Diablo Cody and I had a similar upbringing, because Lisa Frankenstein made me feel more seen than I have felt in years. From the pitch-perfect 1989 music and clothing to the dreamy romantic longings of being a teenage girl, this fi ..read more

When the Trash Man Knocks is the kind of title that makes you want to finish the sentence. What happens when the trash man knocks? We know the answer can’t be anything good and, for horror fans, that draws us in like moths to the flame. We want to answer that question. Then, you take a look at the cover art, brilliantly drawn by Marc Schoenbach of Sadist Art Designs, and you see a tall, powerful figure dragging a trash bag, the screaming contents of which signify the Trash Man’s MO: He’s going door-to-door collecting body parts to put the family he murdered back together. Literally. Become a P ..read more

Before we get any further into 2024, let’s look back at the past year just one last time. As a year in horror, 2023 was filled with twists and turns, ranging from long-awaited franchise installments to new, up-and-coming indie frights.

While most may know 1984 as being one of the best years for pop music, we horror fans know it was also an amazing year for our genre!
