Six friends head to prom, enjoying life and with plans to party the night away afterwards at a secluded house. It’s horror-slasher 101, really, as a premise. Something we’ve seen and heard many times over the years. That isn’t always a bad thing though, because sometimes you want a slasher that follows a basic plot, something you can chill out with and enjoy without any real surprises. Party Night gives you that here, a modern slasher with old-school slasher values. It’s teenage care-free types, a couple of teenage serious-types, and a house off the beaten track. Add a murderous psychopath to the cocktail and Bam… you have yourself a slasher-fest.

With low-budget horror cinema there are things you expect, and if you...

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that we have seen about as many evil Santa Claus horror movies as we could ever wish to see. But what about Mrs. Claus? Well, if you’ve ever wondered why Mrs. Claus never got her own sorority-set slasher flick, wonder no longer as Troy Escamilla has just […]

The post Mrs. Claus Slaughters a Sorority this November appeared first on Dread Central.

Have you ever wondered why we haven't had a horror movie where Santa's wife slaughter's a bunch of people? After all, Santa has been the subject of plenty of horror movies. This year, his main lady is finally getting a chance to shine in the ultra-low-budget Mrs. Claus and we have the trailer to prove it. This thing may look totally schlocky and like it was made for the amount of money one might find in their couch cushions, but it's about time we see the number one woman of the holiday season getting in some slasher time.

The trailer itself is corny as can be, but it does have the right idea. It opens up with some friends gathered around at a Christmas party, while a slow and kind of creepy version of We Wish You a Merry Christmas plays in the background. We then learn of some dark...

This documentary is by fans and for the fans, chronicling why John Carpenter’s classic has stood the test of time. Bringing together some of the brightest voices from independent horror we will explore what makes the film so special. From the music, the mask to Michael Myers, everyone has their own take on Halloween (1978), and why it is the blueprint for slasher horror and in our humble opinion, has never been bettered.

2018 is a big year for Halloween fans as it marks 40 years since the release of John Carpenters original holiday classic which introduced us to the bogeyman Michael Myers. In addition, we can also look forward to a new sequel which follows on from the original film and looks to rewrite the history of the series, bringing back Jamie Leigh Curtis as Laurie Strode, Nick Castle as The Shape and John Carpenter as the producer.

The Halloween series...
