Then you should probably steel your nerves, grab a flashlight, and creep on over to Horror Squad, where some of the most rabid horror writers on the internet are churning out news, reviews, and opinion pieces guaranteed to keep you up at night. Here's a look at what's been going on lately...
We've got all the bears you can bear! Brad McHargue reports on the upcoming thriller Bear, while Brian Salisbury reviews 1976's Grizzly. What did Horror Squad watch recently? One of this year's selections from the 8 Films to Die For, Lake Mungo, the Japanese freak-out, Hausu, and cannibal cult-favorite, Ravenous. Alison Nastasi leads the Horror Squad Movie Club in a (literally) mind-blowing discussion on David Cronenberg's Scanners. What character would we save from the horde of unholy flesheaters in Lamberto Bava's Demons? Is our planet infested with reptilian overlords disguised as humans?...
