Despite their much ballyhooed reputation for keeping doctors away, apples, it seems, got nothing for homicidal maniacs. ?Just the opposite, in fact; that red tempting tree fruit practically serves as the calling card for the nutty nihilist of 1999’s In Dreams. ?It’s a smorgasbord of cinematography full of lush tones and spooky palettes that frame…
If horror movies have taught us one thing, it?s that nothing good ever happens in the woods.
Back in the 1980?s, you couldn?t throw a sacrificial goat without hitting a Satanic cult.? At least that?s what most Americans thought, according to the statistics provided in the prologue to The House of the Devil.? And they may be onto something.? Thanks to a single 20/20 story on Satanism, Phil Donahue?s expose on the…
Here?s a friendly tip from yer pals here at ScreamFish. Should you suspect that your neighbor is a vampire, don?t tell anyone. If horror films have taught us anything, it?s that trying to convince loved ones, associates and the police that you?ve stumbled upon a creature of the night is about as futile as trying…
Good old John Doe #83. He?s the envy of every man. Not only can he get inside a woman?s head, he can actually make her see things she believes to be reality. ?Yep, honey, I re-tiled the bathroom floor yesterday. You hadn?t noticed?? ?Happy birthday, honey! I hope you like your ring. Yes, that is…
Back in my day, we didn?t have high-speed connection horror at our fingertips. There was no creepypasta, no original urban legend-style inspired scares that we could savor at the click of a mouse.

And when he wasn’t trying to get the a president out of post-apocalyptic New York or defeat Asian demigods in Little China, Kurt Russell was busy in Antarctica, battling claustrophobia, paranoia and body-snatching aliens?all in…
Upon first glance, Mad Max: Fury Road seems out of place amongst its fellow best picture nominees. There?s no biographical dramatization, no outspoken activist star. There?s not even a subtitle in sight. But there is flame-spewing punk rock guitarist chained to a thirty-foot wall of Marshall amps on the front of a semi.?In other words:…

Apparently, so does filmmaking (think Clint Eastwood/Jim Carrey in The Deadpool, director Leonard Nimoy/Ted Danson, Tom Selleck/Steve Guttenberg in Three Men and a Baby, Wes Anderson and anyone in anything). But such funky pairings aren’t limited to action flicks or rom-coms;…
Hey Andy Davis, Andy Barclay hates you. Okay, maybe ?hates? is a strong word. But you can bet he darned sure envies you. That?s because just like him, your toys come to life, too. But at least yours have the decency to wait until you?re asleep or not around. And you get cool ones: a…
