By Keri O’Shea A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to catch a theatre performance which made a sizable impression on me; this was an adaptation of a lesser-known H P Lovecraft story, ‘The Temple’, and the writer & performer behind this one-man show was Michael Sabbaton. I reviewed the show at the […]
Interview by Keri O’Shea If you haven’t seen Deathgasm yet then, if I may, it’s time you climbed out from under that nice, safe rock of yours and ascended to the top of a towering crag (preferably where there are some obliging women in chainmail to cling to your legs, Manowar-style). It was one of […]
Interview conducted by Nia Edwards-Behi Axelle Carolyn is the mastermind behind the massive Tales of Halloween anthology film, soon to be unleashed by Epic Pictures. Big thanks to Axelle for taking the time to answer a few questions for us about the film! BAH: Anthology films are experiencing a bit of a comeback, in the […]
By Svetlana Fedotov It’s with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I announce that I am leaving Brutal as Hell. I have been offered a writing gig with Shock ‘til You Drop and will start writing for them, along with my weekly contribution to Fangoria’s website. I’ve had an unbelievable blast […]
By Keri O’Shea It’s always good to be able to share good news here, so finding out that one of my favourite short movie directors is about to bring us an official Stephen King adaptation is definitely something worth sharing. Some years ago, the talented Czech director Robin Kašpařík made a short occult horror film […]
By Tristan Bishop I’ve been a fan of Italian genre cinema for around 25 years – every since I caught a TV showing of Mario Bava’s Black Sunday as an impressionable youth – and as such I tend to believe I’ve seen most of the best that the Italian golden age (around 1960-1986) has to […]
By Tristan Bishop “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to violence” – as first lines go, it’s one of the best. Delivered by a disembodied voice over an image of a pulsing soundwave, the opening narration goes on to warn us about “…this dangerously evil creation, this new breed encased and contained within the supple skin of […]
By Ben Bussey The jumping-off point for the diatribe to follow is also perhaps one of the most commonly-voiced sentiments of our time: I read something yesterday on Facebook which upset me a bit. Chris Alexander of Fangoria – the publication without which I think it’s fair to say the vast majority of us in […]
By Keri O’Shea (Editor’s note: for the first part of Keri’s kvetching, please click here.) Right, where was I? I’d finished talking about the hideously wronged catwalk models who can thenceforth magically bend girders and all the Keepers of Knowledge who fall out of (or leap from) high buildings, or otherwise race to their deaths […]
By Tristan Bishop About fifteen minutes ago I learned of the passing of Richard Johnson at age 87. Johnson was familiar to fans of horror from his roles as Dr Menard in Lucio Fulci’s Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) and as Dr Markway in Robert Wise’s version of The Haunting (1963), but his career was far […]
By Keri O’Shea It probably goes with out saying (but then, so do a lot of things and it doesn’t seem to stop anyone) – we watch a hell of a lot of horror here at the site. A hell of a lot. Screeners, shorts, trailers, festival releases, mainstream releases, Netflix et al…the list goes […]
