“Women In Horror Month” Spotlight: The Soska Sisters

Jen and Sylvia Soska are the two hottest women in horror. The duo are making big waves in the horror world. The lovey ladies have acted in, written and directed several great projects . ‘See No Evil 2’ and ‘The ABC’s Of Death 2’ are just two of their latest films. 2012’s ‘American Mary’ is my personal favorite. The identical twins fell in love with horror at an early age. They both decided to go into the film industry as actresses but wanted more. The twisted twins decided to make a movie. They invested their own money and made ‘Dead Hooker In A Trunk’ with the help of Robert Rodriguez’s book ‘Rebel Without A Crew’. The movie was released in 2009 .

Movie Review : ‘Ouija’

We have all heard of the Ouija board, most of us have toyed with one. In the backs of our minds there was always the question, What if it isn’t just a game? ‘Ouija’ explores the possibility that the board really can communicate with the other side and what can go wrong.

“Women In Horror Month” Spotlight: Jennifer Kent

“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of…” If you recognize those words or better yet, can complete the phrase then you have heard of today’s Women In Horror Month Spotlight! Jennifer Kent was the writer and director of the widely acclaimed and incredibly popular film The Babadook which is set to release on DVD and Blu-Ray this April. (So yes, to answer your question. That is the woman responsible for the reason you can’t sleep at night.) Although she is obviously a contemporary representative of women in horror, she is a great example of why women can excel in all aspects of film making, especially in horror genres. This is great news for aspiring actors and film makers – it’s comforting to know it isn’t all shrieking at the top of your lungs and getting stabbed! (Or beheaded, or haunted, or possessed… Whatever the villain’s personal shtick is.) To see more projects

‘Women In Horror Month’ Spotlight: Linda Blair

Many of you recognize the name Linda Blair because of her role in the 1973 horror classic ‘The Exorcist’. No one can deny that, even as such a young girl, Linda Blair played the role of the decade. I still can’t watch ‘The Exorcist’ alone at night. That movie is so intense and brilliant and her role as Regan was just incredible. Though Mrs. Blair has had a long history in film and been in many movies, 71 of them to be exact, her role as Regan will forever give her a place in the horror history. Mrs. Blair is still involved in entertainment, but her heart is in her charity ‘Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation’. Mrs. Blair actively speaks out on animal welfare as well as actively helping to find the dogs a forever home, which makes me respect her even more.
