Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter

August 27, 2009

Most everyone in tune with horror, especially those with a predilection for consuming horror-themed literature have heard of or read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a mash-up of Jane Austen’s classic novel and, well, zombies. Despite its relative popularity it has received mixed reviews, with some citing the prevalence of Jane Austen over the inherent [...]

Review: Captivity

August 26, 2009

captivity-poster

Director: Roland Joffe
Year: 2007
Country: USA
The top ten things I would rather do than watch Captivity again:
1. Eat haggis….before it’s cooked.
2. Spend three hours pressed between the well-lubricated buttocks of two 600-pound Jamaican women while listening to reggae as sung by the Chipmunks.
3. Take a cheese grater soaked in vinegar and rub it vigorously against my [...]

Review: Grace

Director: Paul Solet
Year: 2009
Country: USA/Canada
*Warning: This review contains spoilers.*
Hype is a horror film’s worst enemy. I have had my finger on the pulse of Paul Solet’s auspicious debut since seeing the poster for the first time several months ago and have been chomping at the bit to see it. Solid reviews, including one that outright [...]

Macabre Music and Sinister Songs

August 22, 2009

I love alliteration, however weak it may be.
So after showcasing my insanely large music collection to the inimitable Tenebrous Kate, we decided to send each other mix CDs filled to the brim with horror-themed music. Given my tendency to be lazy and forget things, I was reminded of our little exchange when her CD arrived [...]

Top 5 Flicks That Actually Scared Me

August 20, 2009

The notion of fear is entirely subjective; what scares one makes another laugh. I certainly haveĀ  no real phobia of clowns (coulrophobia), but I know some people that are genuinely terrified of them. In contrast, I am terrified of spiders, while some love them and think they’re beneficial and for some reason save them instead [...]

God dammit

August 16, 2009

Please stop associating me with Twilight bashing. My initial post about it was an attempt at humor and to post funny pictures, and it’s snowballed out of control. My only other mention of it was a rebuttal to something someone said about me in a completely unrelated forum. I don’t like the books because I [...]

Blog Awards? You betcha!

So recently the Vault of Horror received an award from Planet of Terror called the Honest Scrap Award. He doesn’t know what it means, and frankly neither do I, but b_sol was kind enough to bestow this award onto I Love Horror and nine other noteworthy horror blogs. Coinciding with this was the creation of [...]

ILH, Twilight, and the “pussification of vampires.”

August 14, 2009

In regards to I Love Horror, “This blog is at the forefront of the battle to end the pussification of vampires, with its biting commentary on Twilight and Stephanie Meyer.” Those kind, albeit slightly misguided words, are courtesy of the fine femme fatale fronting the fantastic blog Monster Land. I am incredibly flattered yet feel [...]

My Rebuttal to Owen Gleiberman

August 11, 2009

Much to the surprise of no one, Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly has received a lot of negative feedback over his list compiling the top twenty horror films of the past two decades. Instead of simply falling back on the “agree to disagree” stance, he decided to not only openly insult his readers, but contradict [...]

Entertainment Weekly Does It Again

Audition
The Silence of the Lambs

What Lies Beneath
The Sixth Sense
Drag Me To [...]
