http://www.remedialhorror.com/2015/06/sometimes-they-get-it-right-7-remakes.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. Sometimes They Get It Right: 7 Remakes That Don't Make Me Want To Vomit. Those that follow me on Twitter are probably aware of the fact that A) they are remaking Big Trouble in Little China. Made in 1982 by John Carpenter, The Thing. Is a remake of the 1951 The Thing from Another World. Takes the gore to a new level. Watching Jeff Goldblum's slow, agonizing transformation is both horrific as well as impossible to turn away from. By the end of the movie, Goldblum has turn...Chara...

Remedial Horror: Show and Tell: Frogs Is Ridiculous And Kinda Terrible. So Why Did I Love It?
http://www.remedialhorror.com/2015/07/frogs-is-ridiculous-and-kinda-terrible.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Show and Tell: Frogs Is Ridiculous And Kinda Terrible. So Why Did I Love It? Last week I was looking for a horror movie to watch before bed, and in my obligatory 30-45 minute search on Netflix, I landed on Frogs. A movie that has been on my radar ever since I stumbled on the last five minutes of it on TV a few years ago. While I'd been circling it for a while, I was hesitant because, well.it's called Frogs. Made in 1972, Frogs. While factors such as acting, setting, and creative ki...

Remedial Horror: Book Report: Hellraiser
http://www.remedialhorror.com/2015/04/book-report-hellraiser.html
Sunday, April 5, 2015. Thanks to a mom with a penchant for horror movies, I was introduced to the genre at what many might say is. A bit too young an age. If you were to take a class picture of the characters that played a major role in my childhood, you'd see Aladdin's Genie giving people bunny ears, or the Goonies posing around Sloth. But you may be a bit put off to also find a man with pins sticking out of his head, glaring menacingly while he holds an ominous-looking puzzle box. DVD "We gave each oth...

Remedial Horror: August 2015
http://www.remedialhorror.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. Mini-Book Report: The Scarlet Gospels. Before I get started, let me apologize for going AWOL over the last few weeks. They should tell you that when you buy a house, it will take up a very large chunk of your time. OK, so everyone I know did in fact tell me that. But now that things are settling down I should start showing my ugly face around here on a more consistent basis. Anyone who has talked to me for more than three minutes about horror knows that I am a huge Hellraiser.

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Show and Tell: Evil Dead.With Music.In A Church! Fans are probably already familiar with the musical stage version that debuted Off-Broadway in the mid 2000s. I was always bummed that I never got to check it out, so I was surprised and damn excited to find out that an acting group in my area called Bootless Stageworks. Was doing a limited run of their own. Just having the chance to see Evil Dead: The Musical. Then, of course, there's the gore. You can't think about doing anyth...

Saturday, June 27, 2015. Show and Tell: Brad Pitt Ruined World War Z Like A Big Ruiner. I'd like to start this discussion off by reiterating that I am a huge fan of The Faculty of Horror. I've already mentioned in a previous post that they are one of my favorite podcasts and that they bring an intelligence to horror that is a rare find in the genre. I'm always excited for their next episode, and I've been introduced to some really great horror movies because of them. Was wasted on Plan B. When asked why ...

Remedial Horror: About
http://www.remedialhorror.com/p/blog-page_28.html
As a lifelong horror fan, I've recently realized that what I love most about horror is the story. And I don't just mean the story on the page or on the screen. I'm talking about the story behind the story. How was it made? What were the creators trying to say? Does that mesh with what people took away from it? A couple of warnings:.

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Show and Tell: A Lot Of Pinhead And A Lot Of Australian Screaming. Has been a big part of my last week in horror. First, Graveyard Shift Sisters. In addition to revisiting Barker's cinematic introduction to Pinhead, this week I got my first taste of Clive Barker's return to what he's said will be Pinhead's swan song, as his publisher released the first two chapters. Of The Scarlet Gospels. Any of the horror podcasts and websites that I follow have been singing this movie's praises...
