Zacherley, Elvira, Svengoolie, Joe Bob Briggs, MST3K. These are only a few of the dozens of horror hosts that have graced our TV screens over the past 50 years. The concept of the horror host isn’t complex, nor is it one that requires you to reinvent the wheel. (more…)
Fresh off the first original web series made exclusively for Full Moon Streaming, Full Moon Features is already eying their next web series, “Killjoy’s Psycho Circus!”
Continuing Trent Haaga’s portray of Killjoy is no shock. Since 2010, Full Moon has released two successful sequels (2010’s Killjoy’s Revenge & 2012’s Killjoy Goes to Hell) to their Killjoy franchise (which previously had two films released in the early 2000s).
The early 1980s were filled with fantastic futuristic sci-fi films. Terminator & Blade Runner set the tone for many many films but Empire Pictures took the best of both worlds and combined them in the 1984 release of “Trancers.” To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this sci-fi cult classic, Full Moon released the definitive edition of “Trancers” on Blu-Ray.

Hey SquidFlicks,
It’s the boss man. I want to let you all know how much I appreciate your support over the past 7 (!!!!) years. That’s an incredibly long time for a website to be around. Because SquidFlicks is older than internet dirt, the site has inevitably changed over the years. One change that I am particularly proud of is the increased quality and depth of reviews over the past three years versus the previous four. I myself know that I have grown as a writer and analytical thinker, as have many of our other contributors.
Did you ever participate in a spelling bee? For most kids, it’s a good but annoying excuse to get out of class for the afternoon. Nobody really wants to win, because that means you have to compete again on a higher level. In the case of Bad Words, Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman) is making his journey to the Golden Quill National Spelling Bee personal. He is 40 years old and technically eligible for the bee because he has never passed the 8th grade. His take no prisoners attitude (plus the fact that he is a 40-year-old man competing against preteens) grates parents and competition officials alike. His media sponsor and online reporter Jenny Widgeon (Katherine Hahn) tries to figure out what his angle is for her big story, but by the time she figures out the reason for Guy’s vendetta, it’s too far to turn back.
In 2008 Marvel started a firestorm with the release of the first film in their cinematic universe. In the years that followed Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, DC Entertaiment/Warner Bros., and recently announced Universal Studios have all followed suit to create shared universes that connect their respective properties, ranging from superheroes to classic monsters.

How would you feel if a fraternity moved into the house next door? Depends on where you are in life I suppose. It would be pretty cool if you are a fresh-faced college freshman, free from any real responsibility and down to party. If you were a young married couple with a young child, you probably wouldn’t be as excited. How would you handle a situation like that? Move away? Make life a living hell? To an independent observer, it would be entertaining to watch!
There is something so appealing when you take a Western setting and throw in some zombie carnage! The story of “Revelation Trail” is an inspiring one to all independent filmmakers out there. Shot in 20 days and on a budget of only $34,000 the film takes place “In the late nineteenth-century, a holy man known only as the Preacher (Daniel Van Thomas) confronts unspeakable evil as a gruesome power consumes the frontier. Standing between ruin and salvation, he joins forces with the town Marshal (Daniel Britt), a man with his own set of demons, in a savage fight against the risen dead and the evils of the living. Along the way, the men discover which lines they’re willing to cross in the name of survival and witness the depths people reach through the power of belief — for good and ill alike.” (more…)
