Just as bloody and nihilistic as Hellraiser, writer/producer Clive Barkeracts as your conductor on this train ride to hell. Well, actually Clive just acts as your gravelly voiced ticket taker as its Ryuhei Kitamura who directs the whole bloody affair.It’s a ride a horror hound will want to take, but pray that you don’t end up on the same train as the dour Vinnie Jones and his hammer.Photographer

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/travel_places/OMG_Did_Google_Earth_find_Atlantis'; Google is officially denying widespread Internet rumors that its Google Earth software located the mythical sunken city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa. Either that, or Google is totally trying to hide something. Since I always appreciate a nice juicy conspiracy theory, I'm going to go with the latter. Is this

I'd rather drink acid than watch the Academy Awards. Why so serious? Short answer: there's no horror film category. Don't horror movies merit Oscars? If animated films get a category than why not one for freaking scary movies?

Too little, too late, for the ill-fated Dollhouse as nervous television honchos jumped on the Alec Baldwin Hulu bandwagon and released their own Hulu TV spot.  Eliza D reveals she's actually an alien.  Hmm, the notion that members of the D house are actually aliens instead of airheads sounds like a vast improvement.  Joss W, why didn't you think of that?  Good thing for Eliza it's pilot season.

Pamela Anderson was in full cougar mode as she prowled the catwalk at Richie Rich's fashion happening which featured the prerequisite tranny models dolled up over the top clothes. Growl, that's a freaking scary stare, Pammy. Barbwire 2 anyone?

Watching the premiere episode of the Dollhouse reminds me the classic Two Coyote Ugly joke in which a guy is willing to gnaw off both arms in case the ugly girl comes looking for a one armed man, except in Dollhouse case there's no more need to be chewing off limbs when the ready solution is to just have the girl's memory erased.Yep, wipe her memory clean and then give her a new memory for her

U2 holds a special place in this Banshee's heart having lost my virginity backstage at one of their concerts, but that's another freaking scary groupie sex story. It's raining in Los Angeles, yes, it really does, and I'm stuck in my car in gridlock traffic, limping my way along the 101 freeway at brisk 3 mph trying to make it over to Melrose for an interview and the radio DJ announces "Here's the

Looks like Hollywood has responded rather quickly to my post "Can Jason Save Movies?" by harvesting some Spanish gold:"The Hitcher" scribe Jake Wade Wall has written a remake of the 1987 Spanish horror film "Anguish."The 1987 Bigas Luna terror follows two girls who, while watching a scary film, finds themselves in a horror movie of their own when their life starts to echo the film's plot.Wall is

What happened my beloved Hollywood horror movies that used to make me freaking scream like a Banshee? Where have they gone? Overseas. Seems like Japan, the land of the rising sun, and it's neighboring countries are churning out some really high-end, quality horror flicks while Hollywood seems content to churn out remake after remake with today's release of Friday 13th (2009). Yes, they've

It's really freaking scary how the whole world suddenly knew about Christian Bale's meltdown on the set of "Terminator."  I guess "Big Brother" really is listening, huh?  Okay, so it was some lame sound mixer who recorded the meltdown on the film set, but who told him to keep rolling sound after the take got interrupted by the futzing antics of the cinematographer?  I smell a Hollywood conspiracy

Plane crash victims feasting on dead bodies sounds like a zombie horror film with a twist, except the film in question, Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains, is a documentary.  A documentary film freaking scary? Absolutely, the film  interviews the sole survivors left from a 1972 plane crash in the Andes Mountains of Peru who resorted to cannibalism.   Stranded: I've

There's something about puppets that gives me the creeps, which I guess is a good thing since the movie, "Coraline" stars a cast of creepy puppets, with my gal pal Dakota Fanning voicing the lead.30% to 60% Off All Products -- Upload Your Design at VistaPrint.com!

Nothing like a vampire movie on a dull, rainy Southern California afternoon, especially when said flick turns out to be a freaking scary gem like "Let The Right One In".The title refers to the Morrissey song "Let the Right One Slip In" but also to the aspect of vampire lore which says that vampires cannot enter a house unless invited. Banshee wonders if vampires have to study these rules the way

Heath Ledger must be spinning in his grave wondering how his blockbuster movie, "The Dark Knight," can not get no love from the Academy for Best Picture. No, instead a really lame movie such as "The Reader" garners a nomination for Best Picture. How is this possible? It's too freaking scary to imagine that a movie that grosses over a billion bucks at the box office doesn't merit a best picture

It's freaking scary that Crank 2 would release a trailer that gives so much of the movie away. Guess what, Jason Statham, the English Stallone, didn't die in Crank 1? Jason's cranked up and searching for his heart in all the wrong places.

Boys with their toys. Who new GI Joe would get a movie before the world's most popular doll, Barbie? The fact that Hollywood thinks we want to see a movie like this is freaking scary. Viewers can expect more fighting than at a SAG board meeting.

The Lodger is an updated thriller about an old fashioned killer, Jack the ripper, with enough twists and turns to make you squirm in your seat. The Lodger arrives soon at the local cineplex.

The end of the world? Doomsday? Now, that's freaking scary. It's an idea the film trailer for 2012 exploits in a very subtle way. Namaste.

If I didn't own a dog, then I'd own a zombie. How can you not help but smile when you see these undead creatures roaming the streets, mini-malls and theme parks in search of some fresh fleshed throats to tear out?  Apparently, I'm not alone in the sentiment because over at You Tube there's a freaking scary zombie channel, lostzombiesdotcom, which is a "zombie themed social network called

Damn you, Francis Ford Coppola! Damn, you for making a Dracula movie that is so good that when you find it on the late night tube, you can't help but watch! It holds up well, except for Keanu's English accent, but at least it's Winona Ryder and not Sophia Coppola acting - whew! Gary Oldman performance as Dracula is amazing as a vampire haunted by the death of his true love centuries ago.
