    Here at Scream-A-Thon I want to shine a light on those horror films that might have bypassed the mainstream, hiding in the shadows while schlocky big budget affairs draw in the punters. I would be exceedingly negligent if I failed to unearth the gem that...

  • Foreign Focus: Banlieue 13

  • Atlanta Nights: The Movie

    The worst book ever written could also be the worst movie ever made. No, no. This is good news. In 2005, James D. Macdonald pulled together a remarkable collection of authors (and one random word generator) to write an unpublishable manuscript, as a means of...
