The low-budget indie flick Necromentia plays a bit like the Hellraiser movie you wished the last few Hellraisers would’ve been more like. Read about it in my review of Necromentia.

Last season on the horror/suspense TV front certainly had its fair share of cliffhangers — including death, deception, parallel universe swapping and visits to Hell — so suffice it to say, the new fall season is eagerly anticipated. One show, The Vampire Diaries, has already begun, and several are revving up to deliver the goods. Here are some previews of what to expect from Dexter, Supernatural, Fringe and Medium. (POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!)

So, now that we’ve had a day to digest it all, what did you think of Season 3 of True Blood? Did anyone besides me feel like the reins were handed over to a completely new staff of writers this year? The entire season just had a different vibe: campy, over the top, almost tongue in cheek? (Bill’s Peter Pan wire work in the final episode had me rolling.)

Before the Internet, movie trailers were things you saw only in theaters or on TV, and the edgier and “cultier” the horror movie, the less likely it would receive TV time. That’s where movies like Mad Ron’s Prevues from Hell came in. Made in 1987 and just now hitting DVD, it’s like opening a time capsule to the horror movies of yesteryear. Read about it in my review of Mad Ron’s Prevues from Hell.

Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, an epic fantasy/horror/western series of seven novels and several prequel comics that have spanned more than two decades, is receiving an equally epic adaptation. Universal is reporting that it has acquired the rights to the works and will be producing not one, but THREE films based on them — PLUS a television show.

Although it’s entering its sixth season, Supernatural still largely flies under peoples’ radar. After all, the ratings of a “hit” on The CW would get a show on the other four networks cancelled. But given a chance, you might discover what a small but rabid fanbase has known for the past five years: Supernatural is epic entertainment.
