Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
You don’t have to remember too far back to remember Silent Hill: Homecoming, but maybe now after a little time, and after another (justifiably) critically panned sequel, maybe it’s time to give a little credit to the 6th game in the only remaining franchise that deserves it’s “survival horror” tag.
Whilst Resident Evil 5 went all [...]
Here at AndyErupts, it’s clear that we love horror. In fact, we’re all about horror! Sometimes however, terror can strike closer to home, as can be seen with the likes of Dr H.H. Holmes and some of Scotland’s most notorious serial killers. These people provide the basis for many films and books within the genre [...]
There is a moment in the magnificent vampire movie Near Dark which sums up the vampire legend as purely and simply about sex. It’s a moment in the famous redneck bar scene, where the traveling family of monsters shows up to massacre everyone in the place.
The moment, like so many in the movie, belongs to [...]
For many across the world, there is a preconceived notion of Scotland and what it is to be Scottish. Mention Scotland and many conjure up an image of wild mountains, bagpipes playing, ruined castles and hospitable ginger natives wearing kilts who are fiercely proud of their heritage.

Last year saw the release of Panic Button and 2012 sees the release of The Reverend, Elfie Hopkins, Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection and Dead Of The Nite. This explosion may seem recent but much like rugby, Tom Jones [...]
Most video game fans will agree that roughly 85% of movie tie-in games are absolute tosh. However, as a general rule, having a blockbuster name attached to a title usually sees it sell by the bucket load.

Judge: ALL RISE. Mr Organ, you have been been charged with the crime of watching a bona fide horror classic on the 19th of Feburary 2012 and not liking it. How do you plead?
Me: Not guilty, your honour.
Judge: Please be seated. Prosecution, your witness.
Prosecutor Andy: Thank you, your honour. Mr Organ, do you agree that [...]
In celebration of Women in Horror Month, I decided to collate a list of just a few of my favourite badass bitches from the genre. After all, what would a horror movie be without the virtuous victims, the matriarchal minders, an evil little succubus… hell, even the big breasted cannon fodder.
Here is my short & [...]
