As the film, music and technology convention is closer to opening this weekend, more and more news on the films premiering there are being released. One movie that I think looks really, really good is Vertigo Films’ “Monster”.

Here, you’ll find the resting place for the forgotten, overlooked, mistreated, the so bad it’s good and just plain horrible excursions into the darker side of film. This ground is home to those that have met untimely demise or succumbed to the same fate we all must suffer. These lost souls have heard the final nail driven into their coffins and have been covered in the dirt of their final resting place (or have they?). Within these rows you will find some you may know by name, and others you may have yet to hear of. I am the gravedigger and your guide through this wasteland of plots and headstones. Please latch the gate behind you, and welcome to… the Cinema Cemetery.

Tonight, we will be paying our respects to a feature that has passed and whose eulogy is left unwritten. This marker for the dead has yet to be decorated in remembrance of what short life was once there. The headstone reads; ELVES.

Mad Magazine and Fangoria were my magazines of choice when I was younger and one of the things I always looked forward to was what was going to be on he new cover. Mad always had unique and crazy covers and I would always get a laugh or two when seeing them. I also remember that comics always offered something much more unusual to stare at than a normal magazine cover. While browsing around the net I came across a series of horror comics from the 60’s and 70’s that sport some of the most graphic and grisly covers I have ever seen.

Eerie Publications was a publisher of black-and-white, horror-anthology comics magazines. Titles included Horror Tales, Terror Tales, Weird, Tales from the Tomb, Tales of Voodoo, Terrors of Dracula, 3-D Monsters and Witches’ Tales. All of these magazines featured grisly color covers. more…

What does it take to be considered a Horror Film “Super fan”? A Horror film superfan has the ability to take their love for the genre and go above and beyond the call of duty to show just exactly how much they love these films. A Horror Superfan stretches their neck a little further. So much to the point of where they become much more than an avid “watcher of film”. They flat out become INVOLVED. Whether it be massive collections or the heart to be noticed with success, a Horror Superfan is something either strive for, or secretly wish we could be. Those who have stepped out of the shadows and full accept their role as a superfan have now fallen under the radar of Benevolent Street, and today, we bring your our first Horror Film Superfan…none other than Jeff Cochran. Known simply as Wickedbeard.

That’s right guys and gals, our beloved Aliens are coming at us in 3 dimensions. I am a huge fan of the series and the original is such an atmospheric movie, filled with pure terrifying moments. Now, art-director Roger Christian sat down with ShadowLocked.com to talk about the prequel and let the cat out of the bag.

I don’t play a lot of video games, but I have very fond memories of Castlevania from when I was a kid. I always use to go to a friends house, who owned every gaming system imaginable, and play games all day long. Castlevania was our game of choice. As time went on I forgot about the game completely as did a lot of the next gen gaming consoles. That has changed now, though, as the series is on the comeback.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is an upcoming video game in the Castlevania series. This reboot of the popular NES game will be an action adventure game in a fantasy setting in Southern Europe during the Middle Ages. The game is to be released sometime this year. more…
