Baby Blues
By Aaron Crowell

   The term "guilty pleasure" can be used very loosely to describe a must see film of extreme proportions, and in Baby Blues case I do not feel it can truly be included under such a term. Nearly everyone who sits through this film will most certainly feel guilty for having watched it, only few if any will experience any real pleasure. The film is based on true events that occur, in this situation a case of extreme post-partum psychosis or depression, a disease that woman across the world can, have, and do suffer from everyday. These cases have led mothers to commit the most heinous acts of violence against their own children and families. Horror has always imitated life, but we have to remember that life is far mor...

Fans of Asian horror cinema know Hideo Nakata – he has directed some hits (Ringu and Dark Water) as well as some misses (The Ring Two). His latest directorial effort to hit DVD (coming June 30th) courtesy of Lionsgate, Kaidan, unfortunately falls in the miss category.
In what has become par for the course, Kaidan is a ghost story, albeit presented in a different way than one would think (there aren't any creepy girls with long black hair in their face). In fact, I'm pretty sure the film is set a couple hundred years ago, although I don't recall it being explicitly stated in the picture. The film's prologue stylishly presents the history of the curse which is at the film's centerpiece, rearing its head in a conflict between a money lender and a sam

A new episode of HorrorHound Radio hits the web this weekend, but prior to recording this new session, we thought it would be fun to let fans submit questions to the HorrorHound staff revolving around the mag, the conventions, the show, etc.... submit your questions today by emailing them to mail@horrorhound.com or by posting them right here! All questions have to be in by Saturday evening to be considered!! 


 

We are very happy to announce that Quinn Lord, who portrays the already-iconic character, Sam, in the upcoming (and long delayed) Trick 'r Treat, will be making his first horror convention appearance this November 20-22nd, in Cincinnati, Ohio! Quinn's character has been used on all marketing aspects of the film over the past two years (the long storied history of this delayed film can be read in the new issue of HorrorHound - now available at our online STORE). On top of being the key character in artork, Sam has been immortalized as not one, but two action figures (from NECA and Sideshow Collectibles) and a series of Halloween Masks. Trick 'r Treat hits DVD everywhere this Octover after a small screening tour around the US.


 

THE SINFUL DWARF
(AKA THE ABDUCTED BRIDE) 1974


   Let me start by saying I have just witnessed a slice of 1970's exploitation heaven. The whole premise is beautifully scripted with little person Torben Bille, a Jack Black look alike, surprisingly a Danish children's show host (before and after the film) and finally and most importantly our creepy dwarf antagonist. His objective is to abduct young pretty girls often with toys, hook them on drugs and pimp them out from the attic of his drunken mother’s filthy rooming house. Sounds nasty, twisted and great? doesn't it? and It is!, and did I mention the drug dealer's name is Santa and the drugs are smuggled in toys?
   If you are a fan of exploitation films such as Blood Suckin...

We had a few more announcements planned for this week; however, we had some issues with announcing them on time, so we opted instead to make one BIG announcement. And we do mean big.

What else is there to say - besides, ELVIRA has been added to the line-up for HorrorHound Weekend Cincinnati - this November 20-22nd, 2009 as our guest of honor!!!! We are VERY thrilled to have the Mistress of the Dark attend this very exciting convention. Be sure to click on that HorrorHound Weekend banner on the right and find out MORE MORE MORE information on this event!!!!!!

If we have additional guest additions we will be making them periodically.


 

Well, it's a new week for HorrorHound Weekend Announcements, and we thought we would jump into things with an exciting new guest announcement in the form of Richard John Walters! Richard is best known for his portrayal as Harry Warden in this year's hit horror film - My Bloody Valentine 3D! - amassing one of the largest (and impressive) body counts on-screen in a slasher pic this writer has seen in years! For those of you who haven't witnessed it, pick up MBV on DVD and Blu-ray today!


 

Clive Barker is on Twitter (for those that don't know) and early this morning he gave an update on the Nightbreed footage that everyone is talking about.  This made me squee like a 10 year old girl and Barker himself was apparently squeeing because he mistyped his first attempt to tweet :)

Clive was under the impression there was only 25 minutes or so of footage found.  But there has apparently been a directors cut discovered that is 44 minutes (OMG!!!!) longer than the theatrical release. 

I love Nightbreed.  LOVE IT.  To see nearly an hour more of these beautiful creatures and this story played out on screen would be beyond awesome.  So here's hoping we get to see this cut soon.

Just as a bit of a...

Meet Grace, the little baby with the big appetite.

Produced by Adam Green (the creator of Hatchet) and written and directed by Paul Solet (who's short film Means to an End won Fangoria's highest praise for Best Short) the movie tells the story of a mother who's miscarried two babies and then due to an accident her third.  She decides to carry the dead fetus to term and give birth anyway.  And by a miracle or...something else...the baby comes back to life.  But Grace has special needs....and mom is prepared to meet them anyway she has to.

The film is being released by Anchor Bay and was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival.
