Writer-producer Chris Kobin took some time while he was on the set of Gothic Harvest in New Orleans this week to talk with us about the upcoming film as well as his remake of ‘2000 Maniacs’, and a few of his other films. He also gave us an exclusive on his next project, which you’ll have to read to believe. Horror Fuel: “How did you get your start in the film industry?” Chris Kobin: “I came out to L.A. in ’83 after I graduated from a very good law school and had an office, didn’t want it. I wanted to be a writer. My father was in public television so I come from a TV background. I have spent the last twenty-five years between producing and writing movies and selling cars.

We Want You…To Watch These 8 Patriotic Horror Films On The 4th Of July

Jaws (1975) Set over the July 4th weekend, Jaws centers on a battle between a giant shark and three men out to catch it before it kills again. The Shining (1980) While most of the film has nothing to do with the 4th of July, there is one scene that ties it to the holiday. If you look closely at the picture that shows Jack Nicholson’s image in a crowded photo you will see that the picture is labeled as being taken at a 4th of July celebration which is enough to land the classic on this list. Final Destination 3 (2006) When one student’s premonition of a roller coaster disaster saves her and her friends’ lives death tries to put things right.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Lin Shaye

Hello again, my Little Monsters. How lovely it is for you all to join me again on this Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday. As you can see the Woman of Horror we honor today is the wonderful Lin Shaye. This Detroit, MI native caught the acting bug when she attended the University of Michigan, where she was an Art Major. During her time there, Lin also appeared in as many dramatic productions as she could. After she completed her degree at Michigan, Lin moved to New York to enroll at Columbia University and also pursue an acting career on the stage. She would find roles off Broadway and OFF off Broadway, and would also earn herself a Master of Fine Arts in acting from Columbia. In 1975 Lin would start her career as a whore. WHOA, calm down. I’m not slut shaming or casting insults at her. Lin’s first listed credit was literally as a “whore” in the movie Hester
