There’s not much in the way of Grindhouse parodies on YouTube, which probably speaks volumes about the film’s failure. However, I found this stylistic take-off of the trailer, which is worth a look. In the interview with Bill Lustig in the Grindhouse issue of Rue Morgue, he mentions that Jaws was essentailly an exploitation movie […]

I was researching Hostel II this afternoon so I hit up Wikipedia for some info. I found the following vandalized entry for the film. Someone will probably fix it soon enough, but for your reading pleasure, see below. Personally, it makes me want to see the film that much more. You know what they say: […]

Let’s take a break from the raging battle over the merits of Death Proof (see the Inland Empire post’s comment section below if you’ve got mucho time to kill) and get a quick lesson from Eli Roth on how to make an authentic-looking grindhouse trailer. I was struck by Roth’s trailer for his faux film […]

Pakistan’s first ever gore film Zibahkhana (Hell’s Ground), and the first movie produced by DVD imprint Mondo Macabro, now has a trailer online. Man, this looks wild in a TCM-meets-Romero kinda way, and no half-assitude on the gore, either. I’m dyin’ to see it.
For stills and more info, surf your bad self over to […]

Watched Phantasm III tonight, then found this on YouTube. I’m really, really disappointed that whoever made this couldn’t work in even one “ball” joke. C’mon!

This morning I attended a press screening for David Lynch’s new film, Inland Empire. 10 a.m. screen time at the Toronto International Film Festival office and my growing irritation with Lynch’s tired “weird for the sake of being weird” motif notwithstanding, I went in with an open mind, hopes clinging to dear memories of Eraserhead, […]

Edios Interactive Games is releasing a zombie game called Touch the Dead for the Nintendo DS. The “M-rated game — will invite players to ‘point-and-shoot their way out of a prison teeming with the undead.’” As you can see by the trailer video below (which seems to be the game with the earlier title Dead […]

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the horror punk legends The Misfits. If you’ve been a long time reader of Rue Morgue, it’s no secret that most of us here at the magazine are huge fans of their music. Their influence on punk and metal is insurmountable. Personally, my introduction to the band was through […]

Eli Roth takes a lot of flak from the horror faithful, but say what you will, the guy has balls, and here’s the proof. This video, which was posted by the fine cineastes at Popcorn & Sticky Floors, is a clip from an interview the guy did with Fox News around the time the Hostel […]

I’ve wanted to write some sort of a tribute to Bob Clark since news of his death last week, but damn, I just didn’t know where to begin. Like so many others, I felt (and still feel) cosmically ripped off at what happened; that Clark was just starting to get the appreciation he deserved; that […]
