Believe it or not, the first film that I actually saw Tony Todd in was Tom Savini’s 1990 remake of Night Of The Living Dead.
However (and perhaps predictably), it wasn’t until I saw Candyman (at the ripe old age of 13 or 14) that I really noticed him. Since then, he has gone on to [...]
So, yeah, this was a huge interview. So I split it into two.
The first part, saw AJ talk openly about his experiences on House Of The Devil, on his friendship with director Ti West and about A Horrible Way To Die.
So, in this, the second part, we move on to discussing other projects including Rites [...]
Back in 2009, I checked out a film on a recommendation. I was told, “Get this watched NOW. It’s right up your street”. That film, as it turned out, was Ti West’s The House Of The Devil, a fantastic, slow-burning homage to 80′s genre pics.
One of the most memorable scenes involves a young woman having [...]
The first time I heard about Mother’s Day director Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich’s musical follow-up to their cult hit horror musical Repo: The Genetic Opera, was back near the end of December.
At that time, all we had was a sparse website, a vague plot and a 12 minute teaser trailer which featured “Victoriandustrial” chanteuse, [...]
I am a huge fan of Italian horror. I count Dario Argento, Ruggero Deodato and Luci Fulci among my favourite directors.
OK, their films haven’t always been fantastic but the ones that are…really are.
The giallo style of film-making has been on the wane in recent years with only a handful of films (most notably Amer) attempting [...]
The line-up at this year’s Glasgow Frightfest was an odd one, to say the least. Some films that I had been massively looking forward to wound up being hugely disappointing, while others that I had approached with cautious optimism wound up blowing me away.
Crawl rests firmly in the latter camp.
One of my top three “films [...]
Without a shadow of a doubt, one of my personal highlights of Glasgow Frightfest 2012 was American director Padraig Reynolds’ excellent genre mash-up slasher film, Rites Of Spring.
Padraig Reynolds knows his stuff. His enthusiasm is infectious and he was more than willing to chat to us.
Myself and John Milton were lucky enough to be able [...]
One of the strangest films to screen at Glasgow Frightfest was L’Arrivo Di Wang, or Wang’s Arrival, in English.
Not strictly a horror film, by any means, Wang’s Arrival still manages to be an unsettling experience that brings to mind the best of classic sci-fi cinema. Yet, despite a name that elicits chuckles, it is a [...]
2012 has seen me tackle two books by Wayne Simmons: Drop Dead Gorgeous and Flu. Although these two stories have the undead at their heart and are both set in Simmons’ native Northern Ireland, they are both quite different, yet both pack quite the punch.
Approachable, laid-back and talented author Simmons graciously agreed to talk to [...]
Fiends, I’m sure that you’re more than aware that all the team here at AndyErupts love horror. Myself in particular, I’m a fan of horror books. Unfortunately, there’s a swathe of horror that just isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. With this in mind, gems such as Adam Baker’s debut novel Outpost and its [...]
