SOUTH JERSEY HORROR

Often do I catch myself watching a movie about Dracula style vampires but the way they're depicted in 30 Days of Night are how I'd imagine vampires would be in real life- brutal and near indescribable killing machines. That premise being vampires being allowed to run berserk in Alaska during a 30-day period when there is no sun to force them into hibernation during the day. It’s simple yet fresh enough to maintain my interest.

What an amazing and talented actress! Megan portrays one of the best female vampires in one of my favorite vampire movies. I’d like to brag about Megan’s talents and the ability to endure such a role; I am sure that it wasn’t easy to film a movie in just 33 days.

But there is more! Megan talks about how much fun it was to play a vampire alongside Danny Huston and how much she enjoyed the makeup process.

And for those that don’t know, 30 Days of Night was NOT filmed in the extreme cold of Barrow, Alaska, it was filmed in a hangar. The small town which you see in the movie was a set constructed in a hanger… Mind totally blown.

To make the interview more interesting, Megan talked about the deleted/alternate scenes that did not make it in the final cut. However, I would have loved to have seen those deleted scenes.

You can still watch this amazing vampire movie on Xumo Play, Google Play, Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Fandango at Home.

Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf picks up right after Joe Dante’s original The Howling but there’s no denying that this movie is a ruthless slice of low-fi gothic cult film making, making it a huge success. It’s not a film that everyone will love, but for those of you who enjoy unconventional cult classics, Howling II is a movie that may be right up your eccentric alley.

After waiting almost an entire year to speak to her, I am excited to say that it was an absolute honor and pleasure to have spoken to the legendary actress herself and getting to know her on a more personal level. There was a lot to take in during this interview, but I must admit that I was intrigued the entire time.

Knowing what kind of career Sybil Danning has built up for herself over the past four decades, you have to admire her. Afterall, she is essentially the Queen of Hollywood. No one could have played Stirba better than her in the film.

The back history of the film, behind the scenes, what it was like to be on the same set as Christopher Lee; all this is spoken by her is priceless knowledge. You cannot label her as an amateur actress, but only as a legend who has seen and been through it all. More notably, as an actress who continues to reign the reels of Hollywood and I cannot wait to see more of her work on the big screen.

Descendant is an amazing film that is an incredibly intriguing dive into the complex emotions that come from fatherhood and the urge to both provide and protect one’s growing family. Obviously, it’s one of those movies that is full of question marks. The temptation here might be to interpret the plot a few different ways and then try to make sense of ending.

Having to sit down and gain the insight from Alexandra about this movie was fun; asking her opinion about the film’s plot and to see if she believes whether ‘Sean” was actually abducted by aliens or did he have a mental breakdown. I guess it was the director’s intention to leave in the dark and come up with our own conclusion.

Either way, this film is very confusing, but it also has it’s high points. I definitely recommend watching this movie if you’re into psychological horror.

Descendent is now available to watch on Google Play Movies & TV, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Amazon Prime.

This series definitely reinvented the vampire sub-genre of horror; it’s a superb drama, fantasy, horror series by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I loved its adamant vibe and atmosphere, its gruesome screenplay, its outstanding expansion and acting. One of the few series that truly combines science fiction and horror with a hell of a cast.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down and speak to Nikolai about his role as Ansel as he described from his point of view what it was like to act as a Strigoi in this riveting and thrilling series. I love how we get to witness his character slowly decline into the madness and watching the transformation process after one is infected.

Every little detail he described is pure gold and that is me being honest; I mean, this show has grasped the essence of not being a traditional vampire story, but more into the deep history and lore of a different type of “vampire” I must admit that I love this version better.

The Strain is STILL streaming on Hulu and I am certainly glad that it is… I cannot get enough of this show as I am about to watch the entire series again for the tenth time

Mindhunter is an absolutely riveting, addicting, and intellectually gripping series that redefines the crime drama genre. From the very first episode, it plunges you into a hauntingly realistic portrayal of the early days of criminal profiling at the FBI. The attention to detail, the slow-burn narrative, and the disturbingly accurate depictions of real-life serial killers make it one of the most intense and thought-provoking shows I’ve ever watched.

What a phenomenal interview! Getting to know the details about his role as Jerry Brudos and the show, that kind of insight is priceless! As season one of the show progressed, so did the characters while discussing their crimes. Happy Anderson portraying Jerry Brudos is still one of my favorite sequences not only because of the nature of the sequence but the scenes are kind of light-hearted and comical.

If you have not watched this show, please do… I highly recommend this series for nay true crime buff out there. With a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, that kind of tells you something. It’s still streaming on Netflix!

Demons, written and produced by the legendary Dario Argento comes a cult classic from the 1980s which has a badass soundtrack and it’s one of the most interesting and strange films of the era. It has cool visuals and a fun story that is easy to follow and all around, it’s a solid Italian horror film and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the genre.

The interview is a little spotty due to the poor internet connection with Bettina; she joined from her home in the Italian Countryside (which looks spectacular, by the way – and I am jealous) – but she had so much to say about the film, her role, and what it was like to work with the legendary Dario Argento.

The Conjuring returns in the fourth and final installment of the franchise and it feels like a natural continuation thanks to the return of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. After watching the movie last night, in my opinion, the movie is terrifying, emotional, thrilling, pure horror magic and it’s a must-see epic conclusion.

Rebecca and I went into a deep conversation about her role in the movie, some behind the scenes secrets, and what it was like to film a movie based on a true haunting. What she had to say about all of that is justly remarkable. The details given in this interview explain a lot about the haunting and what actually happened. Brace yourselves for a phenomenal interview with gifted and wonderful Rebecca Calder as she delivered one of these best roles in The Conjuring Universe.

In my humble and honest opinion, the ‘Smurl Case’ is the darkest in the series because in the 1980s the whole country was on edge with everything going on: serial killers, more hauntings being reported across the United States, The Berlin Wall, and much more. Senses were heightened and spirits are drawn to that.

From what I have read on the internet thus far, Traumatika is an emotional horror story that focuses on generational terror. It is said that her performance is paramount while being relentless in the approach and it’s not for the faint of heart. Due to being released on the 12th of this month, I cannot wait to see it.

For those that are going to see it in the theater when it’s released, expect to have some type of emotional response due to the nature of the film because it does touch on real life issues about trauma and abuse.

She is also starring in a movie called “Swipe” which is in post-production.

This movie had me on edge the whole time! The suspense, the kills, the twists—everything hits hard. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, boom—plot twist! If you love horror with a brutal edge, don’t miss this one!

It feels good to be back after two and there’s no better way to ease back into the interviews by talking to Sadie about her role as ‘Pepper’ in this vampire & werewolf slayer movie.

We talked about her role as Pepper and amongst other roles, to include her role in the movie “Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort” (2014) which was a continuation of that franchise. She has an upcoming thriller called “Clutch” and I cannot wait to see her on the big screen in that film.

You can watch Night Carnage by renting or purchasing it from digital platforms like Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Google Play, and YouTube.

I am always hopeful when it comes to a new clown slasher film that hits the scene. After watching this movie, I have come to the realization that this movie offers a more traditional slasher style than Scream V or Bodies Bodies Bodies. This movie may be a modern tale of teens trying to escape a killer clown in a cornfield—but this clown-fueled carnage fest has a nostalgic and spunk spirit.

What a great way to end the month of August! Talking to BJ Verot about his role as ‘Frendo’ is invaluable. He went deep into details about the death sequences and stunts, explaining everything down to the wire. This is what I love hearing!

Clown in a Cornfield is a satisfying movie to watch; with the impeccable acting, the death scenes, and the possible opening for a sequel, I cannot stress how much I love this movie. Making its way in my Top 10 Favorites, I do not regret seeing it and I highly recommend this movie if you are looking for something to watch.

It’s time for Art to move over because there is a new clown that’s about to get down.

What is there not to love about this violent, funny, and just plain cool slasher film? You’re just going to have to see for yourselves – now streaming on Sling TV, The Roku Channel, Amazon Prime, AMC+, and many more services.
