Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
The only silver lining to working 70 hr weeks in the film industry is perhaps the discovery of entire films uploaded online, intact, and the freedom to have them rolling in the background while one toils; which lately, has been my only means of keeping a healthy sub-par horror diet.
Hence as a doctor, scholar and [...]
As you have probably noticed my contributions towards AndyErupts have mainly focused on TV based horror, this is due to the fact that whenever I have free time I end up wasting away my days watching a LOT of horror TV shows and as I love nothing more than talking about horror and making people [...]
At some point we have all sat in a cinema or relaxed with a film at home, something you’ve never seen only for something to suddenly scare the living crap out of you. These moments can be terrifying, shocking or actually quite funny. We have all seen some poor audience member jumping out of their [...]
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.

A face looms out of the darkness. The teeth are razor sharp. The face itself is badly in need of a good barber armed with more than a Philips electric razor; this face needs shears and maybe a machete. The ears are pointed. The eyes are as red as a student’s after a 12 hour [...]

However, as a general rule, having a blockbuster name attached to a title usually sees it sell by the bucket load. This is a trend that dates back to the beginning of home computing and the tie-in trend grew [...]
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 [...]
Indeed they do…
So much so that a local jock takes an early nose dive off of his parents roof in a doomed attempt to prove his love to Mandy by making an unfeasibly far leap into the shallow garden pool below. His head ruptures like a blood-filled pumpkin and Mandy’s weirdo friend Emmet (Michael Welch) [...]
The general consensus here at AndyErupts is that 3D sucks. It’s a gimmick that generally gets used to push what would otherwise be a fairly run of the mill movie, such as My Bloody Valentine.
2012 seems to be the year that will see every big release in the genre pitching into this particular trend and [...]
