Doug Jones is one of the modern era's most accomplished monster actors, having embodied inhuman creatures in films like Hocus Pocus, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water. He was inspired by one of the most iconic horror actors of all time: Boris Karloff. While discussing his career at a panel at this year's Atl Comics Convention in Atlanta, moderated by Collider's Maggie Lovitt, Jones talked about the film that inspired his legendary performances.

Although Jones' first love was comedy, he credited a classic monster movie with inspiring his eventual transformation into one of modern cinema's most accomplished boogeymen:

"My first monster movie, in Indianapolis, Indiana, was a late-night Friday show hosted by Sammy Terry. [laughs maniacally] And it was The Mummy, with Boris Karloff. So watching that movie and the effect those haunting eyes of his had on me, and how he affected the head-to-toe performance that we're talking about.

Released over two years ago, the anime Lycoris Recoil was an original series that became a major multimedia hit. Now, a new version of the sake seen in the series is being sold, allowing all would-be spies to get their drink on.

Earlier today, we took a look back the Wes Craven-directed 2005 thriller Red Eye… so we figured, why not follow that up by taking a look at a remake of a Craven horror film that was released the year after Red Eye reached theatres? The movie we’re taking about is the 2006 version of The Hills Have Eyes (watch it Here), a remake of Craven’s 1977 classic. It’s time for this one to be revisited, and you can hear all about it in the embed above.

While the original film was written and directed by Craven, Alexandre Aja directed the remake from a screenplay he wrote with Grégory Levasseur. Here’s the synopsis: Bob Carter and his wife Ethel, along with five other members of the family, are heading for San Diego with their camper van. An accident strands them in the desert and while two of the men go for help,...

Auckland, Jan 12 (Ians) Left-arm swing bowler Ben Lister is set for a potential international debut after being selected in the New Zealand T20I squad to tour India for three matches later this month.

Left-arm spin all-rounder Mitchell Santner will lead the squad that features an experienced T20 core including nine players from last year’s Icc Men’s T20 World Cup squad, along with a range of players newer to international cricket, including Lister.

Selector Gavin Larsen noted in an official statement that Santner had impressed in his previous ten opportunities as captain of the New Zealand T20I team. “Mitch is a leader in our white ball teams and has captained the T20 side in India before. His experience in Indian conditions will be invaluable leading this group.”

Auckland, Feb 10 (Ians) Brooke Halliday and Fran Jonas have received their maiden call-up to the New Zealand women side for the upcoming three-match Odi series against England beginning February 23.

Meanwhile, Suzie Bates (shoulder) and Rosemary Mair (side strain) have not been considered for selection due to injury, New Zealand Cricket informed on Wednesday.

Halliday was the second-highest run scorer in the one-day Hallyburton Johnstone Shield while Jonas was the fourth-highest wicket taker in the competition.

White Ferns head coach Bob Carter said he's looking forward to welcoming the newcomers into the environment.

"Brooke and Fran both deserve their call-ups on the back of strong domestic form. Brooke's done a superb job at the top of the order for the Spirit and offers a point of difference as a left-hander," Carter said.

"Fran's an exceptional talent who's proven she can foot it with our top players. It's exciting to add a...

It's hard to believe now that it has been over a year since we lost Wes Craven, one of the all-time great horror filmmakers who knew better than most how to truly scare an audience. His special gift wasn't that he was the most polished of directors; with only a few exceptions (like Scream), his movies were mostly rough edges. I happen to like rough edges. No, Craven's talent was for zeroing in on our primal fears and realizing them onscreen. He didn't want to spook us with tricks and jump scares and he rarely wanted the horror to be "fun." He wanted to shake us to our cores. This was especially true in much of his early work, primarily The Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Hills Have Eyes, out now in a stunning limited edition Blu-ray from Arrow Video.

The Hills Have Eyes is all rough edges.

The Prius name is ubiquitous with hybrid vehicles--in a press conference at this week's Detroit Auto Show, Bob Carter, Toyota Division group VP and general manager, went to far as to compare the Prius/hybrid connection to Kleenex and tissues. Since its debut in 2000, nearly one million Prius's have been sold--and Toyota, as a result, has brought hybrids into the mainstream. So it makes sense that Toyota unveiling two new versions of the Prius--the Prius V family-sized vehicle (above) and the Prius c, a city-centric hybrid--today in Detroit.

When Toyota first debuted the Prius, it was looked at as a novelty. But "everybody sees opportunity now that hybrid technology has been proven," says Jim Colon, Toyota's VP of product communications. That's why Toyota is expanding the Prius line into new markets.

The specs are strong for both vehicles. The Prius V gets 42 mpg in the city, 38 on the highway, and 40 combined,...

Whether it’s a musical sting, the wet snap of a bone, a head rolling down stairs or simple silence, the right sound at the right moment can levitate a fright flick into ghastly greatness. Even if a film as a whole isn’t awe-inspiring, brilliant sound design in just one scene of a stinker can turn it into a genre fan favorite for all time...

The following list is compiled in no particular order, so no need for hurt feelings over a film’s allotted number. Now, from classics to crap and dialogue to death rattles, let’s revisit some of the freakiest sounds in horror history! This is just 50-25 (Part 1) of the list. We will update with (Part 2) so stay tuned!
