click to enlarge Nice work. Minimalist austerity soaked with potently evocative emotion. The moments of frozen dread dont feel posed, they feel poised to run, poised to pounce. See, is this so hard? I...

Jennifer Love Hewitt has said in the past that people sometimes confuse her for the sweet ghost-seeing character she plays on her long-running TV series. She’s also revealed that she believes in ghosts and thinks that she was once contacted by her late grandmother during a session with TV medium James Van Praagh, who [...]

Here are emails I mostly agree with: The Bogart "The Maltese Falcon" was the THIRD version of that story put on film and undoubtedly the best. Also, the 1973 Richard Lester version of "The Three Musketeers" was not the first by a couple and in my opinion, clearly the best as well. I think the best chance of a good remake is when it is based on a classic book or novel rather than...

By Matt Maul When District 9 came out, I was geeked to see it opening weekend. My older daughters wanted to go but my wife was busy. So, finding a babysitter for my ten-year-old twins remained my only obstacle. Unsuccessful, I would not to be deterred. Why not just take them with me? Because of its "R" rating I was nervous that it might be too intense for them. Of course, they balked at any...

So I think this is the first time we've ever had three different versions of the film on the site. We started back in 2007 with the Lon Chaney version from 1923. Then last year it was the 1939 version with Charles Laughton. Now we fast forward to 1956, for the first [...]

Sometime in the late 1960s my father, a very handy guy, made a pair of papier-mache Halloween masks for my brother and me. One was a sad-faced clown, only really sad -- more like anguished, in the realm of Lon Chaney's silent-film creations. The other, even more sinister, was a witch doctor with devil horns, and if you wore that while trick-or-treating, you wouldn't get comments like, "Oh, isn't...

This evening we bring you Universal's 1943 Son of Dracula. It's got Lon Chaney Jr. as "Count Alucard," although it's never certain that he is the Dracula we know and love from the first film. That character would return in the next film in Universal's Drac series, House of Frankenstein, portrayed by John [...]

Like a lot of kids, I could not get enough of monster movies. On Saturday afternoons, I would hunker down on my living room couch to watch Creature Double-Feature on our small black-and-white TV. I loved Godzilla, Gorgo, the giant ants of Them! , War of the Worlds , and those delightful shock-fests from England’s Hammer Studios with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. But none were better than...

Hip-hop's masked maverick Doom (formerly MF Doom) is back with a brand new mixtape, Unexpected Guests. To celebrate, he picks his top five super-villains … but who's the baddest? Lon Chaney The Phantom of the Opera is my all-time favourite ! He's a villain at the highest peak, because he's in a silent film and still manages to be scary. All he uses is gestures to freak people out. The way he...

I guess DRACULA (1931) was the first horror movie I ever saw. Not a bad starting point, historically, as it’s possibly the first American supernatural horror movie. I always had a great interest in monsters, perhaps stemming from the times I was frightened by the cyclops in THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD and the giant [...]
