We are extremely excited to announce the addition of Dean Cameron to the line-up of this November's HorrorHound Weekend: Cincinnati!

Dean is most well known to most horror fans - and '80s cinema fans in general - for his portrayal as "Chainsaw" Francis Gremp in the 1987 comedy, Summer School. In the film, Dean's character, Chainsaw, epitomizes the 1980s horror fan with his love of gore, special FX, foreign exchange student Anna-Maria (Fabiana Udenio) and the film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre - not to mention creating one of the coolest "massacre" scenes of the time - all in good gory fun. ...

Just one year later, in 1988, Dean co-starred with Bruce Abbott in Bad Dreams. In 1990 he starred in Ski School as well as the vampire-comedy Rockula. Dean ha...

 On November 6th 2010, The Hudson Horror Show Inc., in association with Grindhouse Releasing, proudly presents the Hudson Horror Show II, a horror film festival of gargantuan proportions! From cannibals to demons, this blood soaked extravaganza will be presented the way these movies were meant to be seen, projected on the big screen from rare 35mm film prints!

  The first fest was such a great success, we worked tirelessly to put together an even better lineup of films this time around! Sam Raimi's roller coaster of horror, Evil Dead 2, Lamberto Bava's splatter-fest, Demons, Lucio Fulci's zombie masterpiece, Gates of Hell, Umberto Lenzi's unflinchingly brutal Cannibal Ferox and we let YOU vote to choose the 5th feature!! Seating is limited and we sold out the last ...

  From hopes to rumors to fan demand, Machete comes to the big screen at long last on Sept 9, 2010. It has been over three years since Robert Rodriguez's Mexican blade swinging Bad Ass played by Danny Trejo was first seen in his (at the time) faux movie trailer that ran as part of the Grindhouse feature film. There is no question that Machete featured one of the best movie posters since the heyday of grindhouse cinema, and now is your cance to create your own machete poster and letter bomb a friend with it! It is easy and fun simply go to: http://www.machetephotobomb.com/ and get to work and show your support by posting your picture among the legion of other fans of the film in the Machete picture gallery and on your own Facebook page also.

We are excited to announce the addition of a first-time convention guest - Douglas Tait!

Doug, for most people who don't know, had the pleasure of portraying Jason Voorhees in 2003's Freddy vs. Jason as a stunt double to Ken Kirzinger. As part of his work - donning the hockey mask and machete, Doug filmed one of the most iconic scenes in Jason's history - exiting Crystal Lake with the severed head of Freddy Krueger. (!!!) ... On top of this, Doug had the opportunity to play the "Long Face Bar Alien" (as it was so cleverly named) in 2009's Star Trek. This character's masterful design/FX helped win "Trek" an Oscar for Best Achievement in Makeup. That same year, Doug portrayed the Sleestak in Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost.

On top of these popula...

What can be said about Sam Raimi's classic horror romp - The Evil Dead - that hasn't already been stated? It's one of the scariest films of all time. It holds up as one of the greatest horror titles of the past 50 years. It launched the sparkling careers of Raimi (Spider-Man) and star, Bruce Campbell. And it has been released to home video more times than I can count. I think I own this film on three of four different VHS releases - and half a dozen DVDs (more than a dozen exist). ... DVDs that boast such tag lines as the "Book of the Dead Edition" and "Special Collector's Edition" ... or the best of the bunch, the "Ultimate Edition" released in 2007 via Anchor Bay. Evil Dead and its sequels are the films that made Anchor Bay synonymous with horror - so it's n...

Hey Hounds,

Jessica Dwyer here and I come bearing some rotten fruit.  Oh yes...

 

Awesome?  Hell yes.  Discuss just how awesome this is and what sort of zombiefest you'll be having this Halloween.

  The next big budget horror remake is here! and in 3D as this is of course the new Hollywood trend. French director and all around genre fan Alexandre Aja delivers his re-imagining of Joe Dante's classic Jaws rip-off Piranha. The screenplay is penned by Peter Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg the team behind the script for the 2009 Sorority Row remake.

  The new film takes place in the isolated town of Lake Victoria a popular stomping ground for horny and rude spring breaking college kids, who descend upon the lake every year like clockwork. Only this year another group of party animals with ferocious appetites will be emerging for a little fun in the sun. Seems a earth quake has exposed a large underwater subterranean pocket releasing hundreds of long starving prehis...
