Convention of horrors
I should have known better. Years of Comic-con attendance have taught me that geek-convention faux pas 101 is to show up late and somehow expect you'll be able to get inside quickly. True, I had overslept, and the fact that the FANGORIA WEEKEND OF HORRORS convention was being held at the "Burbank Airport Marriott Hilton" was confusing—do I look for a Hilton or Marriott logo? And once the place was found, the Scottish parking-lot attendant had bad news. "Yu guys haf teken oop all the space
May 21, 2007Comic-Con 2007: Saw IV
If you're gonna whine to me about "torture porn," don't read this. But if you're a Saw fan like me who wants to know what comes next, here's the scoop...
July 26, 2007LYT's Film Pick of the Weekend 10-19-07
This week’s pick is one I must confess to being not 100% on...but I might as well tell you a bit about it and let you make up your own mind. 30 DAYS OF NIGHT It’s too bad this adaptation of the vampire comic book needed to be made right now – waiting for Zack Snyder or Robert Rodriguez to become available might have been a more prudent move since, not unlike 300 and SIN CITY, the primary appeal of the comic was its stylized artwork that really can’t be duplicated in live action, though
October 19, 2007The Year in Horror Bonus Quotes - Lucky McKee and Nathan Baesel
Sometimes you get way more good quotes than you can use in a story, and such was the case with my year in horror piece in today's issue. Here in cyberspace, we have a lot more room, so enjoy these bonus interviews. LUCKY MCKEE, director of MAY and THE WOODS on the year in horror Honestly, I didn't watch a lot of horror films this year. The more I study classic cinema, the harder it is for me to show up to the movie theater. Turner Classic Movies is a blessing to any young cinephile...A channe
December 27, 2007The Year in Horror Bonus Quotes - Eli Roth
Sometimes you get way more good quotes than you can use in a story, and such was the case with my year in horror piece in today's issue. Here in cyberspace, we have a lot more room, so enjoy these bonus interviews. ELI ROTH, director of HOSTEL PART II On the need for familiarity With HALLOWEEN and SAW, people know the killer, and they know what to expect...when people go see the HALLOWEEN movies they want to see Michael Myers kill, and when they go see the SAW movies they want to see what trap
December 27, 2007Last Night: THE EYE at The Block in Orange
An imagined conversation deep within the halls of Lionsgate’s marketing department, a year or so ago... SUIT 1: Curses! Those dastardly critics have finally realized that when we don’t show one of our horror movies to them in advance, that means it sucks! SUIT 2: Screw ‘em. Critics all hate horror movies anyway. Besides, that godawful EPIC MOVIE did fine for Fox with no reviews. SUIT 1: Yeah, for like one day, until people realized the critics were right. They’re starting to catch on!
February 1, 2008All is not Merrye for Olde Englund
Laguna Beach resident Robert Englund, turned down for the role of Luke Skywalker in 1977, made his mark as the arguably even more iconic Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, the pizza-faced, finger-knived, sweater-and-hat-wearing child murderer who roams the dreamworld stalking the descendants of the pissed-off parents who killed him. Englund played Freddy in eight feature films, one TV series, an ill-conceived rock 'n' roll album ("Freddy's Greatest Hits" -- yes, I have a cop
February 4, 2008LYT's Film Pick of the Weekend 4-4-08
For the first time in many weeks, there's actually a movie I'm excited to see this weekend. And I probably won't get to it because I'm busy cramming for the Newport Beach fest. But I ain't gonna lie, I really do want to see THE RUINS. I know what you're thinking, that this is just another SHUTTER or ONE MISSED CALL or any of those other crappy "horror" movies that haven't screened in time for review and I've ended up covering. But I'm thinking not, and here's why; 1. It's rated R. Those other
April 4, 2008Luke Y. Thompson: Movie Star
A few months back OC Weekly staffer Luke Y. Thompson went off to Texas to shoot a horror movie titled Wicked Lake. That's right, folks! A real-life motion picture. And that picture is having a big Hollywood premiere this Saturday at the Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles at 11:59 p.m. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased by clicking here. There will be a cast and crew Q & A afterwards. But that's not all! Before they screen the flick, horror movie maniacs, Fangoria, will be having a panel d
