A Young Woman’s Halloween Turns Deadly In Alex J. Mann’s Short Horror Film ‘Wink’

These days we would be lost without our phones and without the emoji that convey our every emotion, but what if those emoji took on a life their own and were out for blood? Alex J. Mann has captured that nightmare in his new short film ‘Wink’. ‘Wink’ follows a young woman on what she thinks will be your average Halloween handing out candy. She is completely unaware that her night will turn deadly at the hands of emoji. Mann is also the filmmaker behind the short horror films ‘3 Seconds‘ and ‘Me2‘, which have had an impressive 3 1/2 million views. ‘Wink’ was Directed by Mann, who co-wrote the film with K. Adam Bloom. Danielle Victoria stars as the young woman in the film. The visual effects were created by Harrison Wieting, with props by Alex Potter. Carlos Medina served as director of photography. Nelson Ramm edited the film which features a score by Tristan Clopet. Both Mann and

[TV Review] SCREAM’ Halloween Special: Total Bloodbath SPOILERS

Returning with a gory and Halloween’ esque Halloween special, SCREAM aired last night. [Brutally] Murdering a main character in the opening scene, this set the tone for the rest of the episode: total bloodshed. And I kinda was not complaining. This time around Keiran gets slashed by the so-called returning king of Lakewood Bloodshed, Brandon James. News spreads quick about his murder and it wasn’t long before Brooke came to break the news to Emma. During this Noah and Gustavo are being praised by their editor Jeremy Blair that their book on the Lakewood murders (oh, how I love the Scream 1 homages) was a hit and demands a sequel. Putting an all expense trip to Shallow Grove Island together for Noah to get inspiration by a different mass murderer, Anna Hobbs, Jeremy sends Noah, his friends and himself off. With Audry’s new girlfriend, Gina, staying back for work, Audry has enough time this episode to bond with Emma and

SCREAM’ Premieres Tonight With A Two Hour Special – MTV Renewed For Season 3

Fans of the hit horror franchise, SCREAM should now rejoice: SCREAM: The TV Series has been renewed for a third season by MTV! Unfortunately though for fans the third installment will only hold 6 episodes. Now this could mean one of two things, one: “this is the final farewell” to Ghostface and SCREAM or, it could mean: “Shorter season (season 1 had 10 episodes, season 2 has 12 going on 13-14) more time for kills and less time for bullshit”, either one it is, the third season is slated for 2017 to air. Like season 2, season 3 is said to have a new set of show-runners, which means to me: MTV hated what Richard Register and Michael Gans did with the second season making it a psychological thriller rather than a slasher, which I kinda agree with. SCREAM should be a lot more gorier! The announcement for the third season I credit solely to the vast support fans of

[Recap/Review] SCREAM’ Season 2 Finale Revealed Ghost-Face & Cliffhanger

Scream’s Tuesday night season 2 finale brought SCREAM fans from all over to witness the un-masking of MTV’s Ghost-Face. The season 2 finale managed to homage Kevin Williamson’s SCREAM 1, 2 and 4 (he wrote some of it) and leave fans still clamoring for a season 3 (which is yet to be announced). If you stood tuned for my recaps (which some were equipped with reviews) you’d know I have been pointing my finger at Eli towards the end of the season right before the big un-masking which turned out to be [SPOILER ALERT] Keiran. What had fans still pondering as to if this was it, for SCREAM. Letting us know it wasn’t, Keiran got a phone call in prison by who claimed to be the resurrected Brandon James (the Killer everybody was copycatting, who was involved with the Lakewood massacre 20 years prior). Season 3 is still up in the air. Ratings have been not as great as I

[REVIEW] Hell Town’ Says F-U DayTime Soaps!

Hell Town hosted by Horror Icon Debby Rochon, wasn’t a disappointment. In fact it made me laugh from the very beginning. Our sexy, gothic host most certainly rung in the bewitching season which is soon approaching (sort of soon) with her announcement that the screening, which was a brief series of episodes, was in fact dug up from a cemetery. Following the story line of a jealous sister, a town flewsy, a conflicted homosexual man, the troubling truth a comatose mother wouldn’t awake from her coma and a rising body count. The series brought laughs, bloodshed and drama in the most spook-tastic way. Combining a cast of willing and talented actors, with a decent script by Michael Balderson (who also serves as director), Michael Page, Chris Pudlo and Elizabeth Spear, the horror-soap managed to not only be a classic whodunnit but also, a major F-U to your fav daytime soaps. Hell Town will be available on the below platforms on

The Road to Death House Pt. 3

“Please don’t let this be full of jump scares like The Conjuring movies.” “I hope this is smart and actually has a story.” “I don’t expect much from this. It’ll likely suck. Just accept it.” “Stupid title. Stupid premise. Nothing to see here, folks.” “This will suck.” “I have hopes for this.” “Based on the cast of old stars [that] they have, I don’t see this being any good.” Internet comments. Most of them from “trolls.” Trolls are people I sum up by asking a simple question: “And where is the movie you made?” Oh…that’s right. I believe there can be too much democracy. The Internet has given a voice to groups of people that should not have one. I’ve posted my thoughts on a filmmaker’s response to uneducated critics here: https://horrorfuel.com/horror/movies/zombie-movies/when-filmmakers-strike-back/ So let’s talk about what Death House will be–not conjecture or ignorant shade cast by anonymous little people who are too afraid to commit themselves to making something.
