An Amazing Halloween Light Display You Have To See To Believe

Normally, when we think of a house covered in seasonal lights we think of Christmas, but there is house in Riverside, California, that does Halloween lights like no one else. The house is covered in lights that, are you ready for this, are programmed in sinc with the themed music that is blared over speakers. The light show is so incredible that year after year, videos of the home, owned by a Verizon employee named Kevin Judd, goes viral. If you’re wondering how long it takes to create such a display, Judd has commented that it takes fifteen hours to program each minute of the light show, not counting the hours it takes to put up the lights. It’s well worth it, thousands of people drive from all over to see the show. The videos of the home get more than a million hits each year. You can find the videos on YouTube, where Judd simply goes by KJ92508. Here

BBQ Films Threw A Bloody Epic Blade Inspired Rave

On Friday, October 9th, BBQ Films threw one big bloody party, no, I actually mean a bloody party. The party was a recreation of the night club scene from Blade. You know the one, where blood rains down on the dance floor, of course the rave’s blood was synthetic. The event was music was provided by several DJs, including The Crystal Method, Pictureplane and others, it also featured live performances and took place at Terminal 5 in Manhattan. The event also held a screening of, you guessed it, ‘Blade’. Scenes from the film were even acted out on stage during the show. Of course it was fitting that some of the price of each ticket was donated to the American Red Cross. If you ask me, it looks like it was one killer party. BBQ Films is an underground event production company that “specializes in immersive cinematic exhibitions in extraordinary locations”. Follow them on Twitter to stay up to date

An Open Letter to New Line “Cynema”: Take A Stab At Something Different

To: New Line Cinema From: B Harrison Smith Re: Friday the 13th: Tommy Jarvis vs. Jason Vorhees Make Tommy vs. Jason. You’re sitting a goldmine. I am told the rights to Friday the 13th are a mess. Paramount owns some, you own some. Some are parceled out to TV while the films retain others and the characters. I’ve heard one tale that both studios share custody over the franchise like a divorced couple. I have no idea if this is true. What I do know is that the ownership of rights has become so convoluted that no one seems to have a definitive answer. The legal octopus is strangling you from making another killing and I’m willing to bet it could be straightened out. At the risk of shooting myself in the foot and giving away my thoughts for someone to steal, here is a proposal to get Jason out of development hell. I attended two meetings in Los Angeles

Psycho II…The Slasher Dodges a Bullet

Norman Bates Is Coming Home… Summer, 1983. No Internet. No DVD extras. No “sneak peaks.” There were a handful of magazines to get your entertainment and especially your horror news and Fangoria was mine. I got my first subscription in 1980 and kept it through most of high school. At one point my mother asked me, “Are you sure you don’t want Playboy or something?” Unlike Norman Bates, I had plenty of girlfriends. Boobs I could see any time, but horror? That was serious shit and it came in the mail addressed to me. The slasher film dominated 80s horror. Carpenter’s Halloween hit in 1978 and the original Friday the 13th was ripping off at its heels, and both birthed franchises that spanned an entire decade and beyond. Psychopaths with knives and a variety of tools populated movie houses and late night cable. Most horror scholars will acknowledge the sub genre was peaking around 1983. Friday the 13th was winding
