IT CAME IN THE MAIL: NIGHT OF THE CREEPS DELUXE LIMITED EDITION

I am not really one for collector's editions, which is mostly because I do not have room in my dork cave for any more stuff. But I do make exceptions, and when I saw there was a Night of the Creeps Deluxe Limited Edition, I pre-ordered it faster than you can "Thrill me!" Today, it arrived--and it's beautiful: I'm a big fan of the original artwork, but this new slipcase with art from Devon Whitehead is just gorgeous.

Based on a TV movie from 1973 by Nigel McKeand (which I haven't seen, has anyone seen it?), writers Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins and director Troy Nixey brought Don't Be Afraid of the Dark to the theaters in 2011. I don't remember ads for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark being in the theaters and don't remember when I bought the DVD, but I've had it f[...]

Trailers to Die For–A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

I LOVE movie trailers. My favorite part of going to the theater is seeing the previews, and as my family will tell you (much to their annoyance), I have to be in my seat before the previews even start, or the whole theater experience is ruined for me. Obviously, my favorite kind of trailers are horror movie trailers, and most of my all-time favorite horror flicks had me hyped for their release with a killer trailer. In this series, I'll be looking back at some of my favorite trailers, and I'm starting with a classic--A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. h[...]
