“You see, I’ve always wanted a little girl.”
School’s out for the summer and it’s time to roll up our sleeping bags, forge our physicals, put on our camp shirts, and head out to the woods. Sleepaway camp is often the first significant time kids spend outside of their homes and can be an opportunity to build independence and a sense of self-worth. At a normal camp, that is. Camp Arawak may just be the worst case scenario. In addition to horrific bullies and creepy cooks, there’s a killer lurking among the canoes and cabins. Someone is murdering counselors and campers alike and no one knows who will be next.
Angela (Felissa Rose) is a quiet girl headed to camp with only her cousin Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) to protect her. And it’s a good thing he’s there. Counselor Meg (Katherine Kamhi) and mean girl...

"When the secret's are out, you often discover who your friends are..." Dark Sky Films has revealed the trailer for an indie slasher horror film titled Time's Up, made by filmmaker L.C. Holt. This premiered last year at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival and will be getting a release later in 2023. On New Year's Eve, a faculty party for teachers at an idyllic Maine high school, still reeling from the suicide death of a bullied student, goes horribly wrong when an unexpected guest arrives with an unusual request – participate in a scavenger hunt or die. The assailant is hell bent on revealing their darkest secrets. And when twelve o'clock arrives... heads will begin to roll. This stars Damian Maffei, Hannah Fierman, L.C. Holt, Jonathan Tiersten, Kamarra Cole, Madison Edmunds, Tyler Senatore, Kate Kiddo, and Chaney Morrow. This stoic "Father Time" masked killer looks funny, especially with the ominous voiceover from the trailer.

A horror anthology fan for many years, I’ll admit I was excited for Terror Tales, and I so wish that it had delivered. Firstly, The Wrapround Story… When a vacationing family are abducted on the road by a psychopath, known only as The Driver, they are told three tales of terror whilst being subjected to violence and mind games, their fate hanging in the balance.
We start with tale number one, By Proxy. I would love to tell you what the segment is actually about, but I honestly don’t think I know myself. Famous writer Susan McKay is, I think, struggling to cope with her young Sons suicide, or so it seems. It then becomes apparent,...

I love a heartwarming, feel-good romance story just as much as the next person, but sometimes, it’s those doomed cinematic relationships that tend to stick with you the most. One of the more interesting ill-fated couples I recently encountered was Rob (Cian Barry) and Holly (Abigail Hardingham) from Nina Forever. The new couple must endure the looming presence of Rob’s ex-girlfriend, Nina (Fiona O’Shaughnessy), who died recently in a car accident and happens to show up anytime they become intimate.
The pitch-black comedy touches on a lot of the complications that come with modern relationships and all the proverbial baggage we endure as a result of our previous romantic entanglements. It really struck me throughout the story just how well directors Ben and Chris Blaine perfectly explore those themes in Nina Forever, making me realize that some of my very favorite movie love affairs, particularly from the 1980s,...

Everybody wants to buy the perfect house right? The house that seems just right for what you need. What would you do if the basement had hidden secrets, like a history if bloody gory murder would you still want it?
The Fear (aka The Perfect House) is something we’ve been lacking for a while. A good anthology of horror, no ghosts though just good old fashioned gore all interwoven into a story about a house for sale. As a realtor shows a couple around a house we learn the three stories of what have gone on in and around the basement.
The first is of a family hiding from a storm outside. They include a psychopathic mother,...

If there was one horror movie growing up that was my favorite to show friends at a slumber party, it had to be Robert Hiltzik’s cult classic shocker Sleepaway Camp, which proved that eighties slashers weren’t always a dime a dozen. Scream Factory brings this often overlooked gem home to Blu-ray with a stunning transfer and presentation that would certainly live up to Aunt Martha’s high standards.
The story of Sleepaway Camp is pretty much everything you’d expect from a slasher movie and nothing you’d ever expect, which is what makes Hiltzik’s campy and disturbing summer camp tale still one of the more memorable horror movies I’ve seen. It follows a traumatized teenager, named Angela (Felissa Rose), who witnessed her entire family gruesomely killed after a tragic boating accident. She’s been living with those haunting events for the last eight years as...

This is another Blu-ray release, that I wish existed a year prior. Last summer, we recorded a retrospective podcast series, covering the entirety of the Sleepaway Camp series, and could have really used a loaded, Uncut Blu-ray release of the first film. We made due with what was available, though, and now I can revisit Scream Factory’s new Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release of the film, with the image of the DVD still fresh in my mind for comparison. If you are interested in our retrospective look at the series in its entirety, you can check that out here. I’ve seen this movie at least a dozen times, and as many problems as it has, it still manages to entertain me just as much, each new visit. I know the ending is coming, and I know what to expect, but it still has that same impact it had on me as a kid.

Robert Hiltzik's entire movie career has basically been in telling one story, that of Sleepaway Camp. Hiltzik wrote and directed the original, as well as Return to Sleepaway Camp. So who better to discuss Sleepaway Camp's move to Blu-ray from Scream Factory on May 27 than Robert Hiltzik himself.
Hiltzik recently sat down with Dread Central to talk about some interesting aspects of this horror staple, which was released in 1983. "I was in graduate film school at the time and I wanted to do my own film," Hiltzik said, when discussing the origins of the movie. "I wanted to figure out what would get me into the marketplace the easiest. The path of least resistance. I figured dramas and comedies would be very subjective, but everyone likes a good horror film. And I figured shooting a horror film in one location would keep the budget modest. So I thought...

Remember a few years back when the anthology The Perfect House was the first film to debut on Facebook? Well, it's now available for download from sites like Amazon and iTunes so distributor Gravitas Ventures has released one of those newfangled audience reaction trailers for it.
The flick stars Jonathan Tiersten, Holly Greene, Andrea Vahl, Monique Parent, Chris Raab, John Philbin, and Felissa Rose. It was co-directed by Kris Hulbert and Randy Kent and written by Hulbert.
Synopsis:
The Perfect House is an anthology inspired by the styles of three of the most famous time periods and sub-genres of horror. Each vignette reveals a dark side to suburban anonymity through three different owners of the same house.
The first vignette is a suspense-driven tale about a dysfunctional family of four riding out a violent storm in a cellar where secrets never stay buried. The middle installment offers a classic 80's slasher story.

One of the things I love so much about the horror genre is just how many sub-sections there are to it. I mean, if you were so inclined or just in the mood, you could focus your movie viewing leisure time specifically to the supernatural, or to zombies, or perhaps werewolves & vampires, or monsters (oh my)! But for me, I personally like to get seasonal with my horror movies. And so with summer officially upon us, this is the time of year I break out all of my favorite (and obscure) summer slasher horror! We figured we’d give you 6 recommendations so you could get into the summer slasher spirit as well; some of which are well known, some obscure and some recent ones that just warrant another look in the off chance you missed ‘em upon their initial release.

With Drive-In Massacre producer Brandon Sites promised sex, drugs, a drive-in and, of course, a massacre. He then went on to ponder "what else could you want?". ...well, there was one thing missing. How about a little rock n' roll? Jonathan Tiersten, who so memorably starred in Sleepaway Camp, Return to Sleepaway Camp & The Perfect House, has just signed on to star in Drive-In Massacre.
Jonathan Tiersten is able to convey that bad boy sensibility effortlessly. There is something inherently exciting and dangerous about that kind of persona on screen which seamlessly lends itself to a slasher. He was that missing element that will bring it all together in Drive-In Massacre.
Drive-In Massacre is about a cursed drive-in movie theater. A group of college aged kids who ignored all the signs. Now, one fateful night he will make them pay for their indiscretions.... in Blood!!!
