Hey again Horror Movie fans... The Frightmaster here once again. As I mentioned in a previous post, I love Horror Movies. I spend hours and hours in The Frightmaster's Lair sitting and watching tons of great horror movies. So many so, my lair has now been turned into The Frightmaster's Horror Theater. Got some video games in there as well, for more mindless fun in the evening.
At any rate... If you are like me, you are always on the hunt for movies that you have yet to see. Several months ago... I and my legions compiled a list of horror movies that I like to call The Frightmaster's Favorite Horror Movies. This is not a list of all horror films that have ever been made, just a list of a bunch of my favorites. The list has now been updated with some new movies that I have rencently seen and that have recently become some of my favs.
Along with new movies being added, each movie is now linked to our friends over at buried.com, where you can read detailed info about the films. This Horror Movies section is a pretty cool new section created by our friends over at Buried.com, so I thought I should tell someone. More horror movies will be added soon!

Well Kiddies, I am sure by now you are all getting used to the horror and sci-fi movie remakes that have been going down (and are still going down). I am also sure that you are aware of all of them. I thought I would mention one that hits theaters on April 30th. Of course, I am referring to A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Most people remember the original film and it put a little fright into us all. While it certainly is not most people's favorite of the horror classics from the 80's, it is still widely revered as just that.. a horror classic. Of course, it suffered from sequel burnout as most movie series do, but the original still remains in alot of horror fans top 10 horror movies. How well will the remake go over? It is hard to say when you handle the classics... it is damn near impossible to eclipse the original.
Here is the skinny on the A Nightmare On Elm Street Remake:
A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another... but when they sleep, there is no escape.
Donning Freddy's trademark fedora, red-and-green striped sweater, and four-bladed glove is Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley. The film is being directed by award-winning music video and commercial director Samuel Bayer, marking his feature film debut.
Check out Buried.com's A Nightmare On Elm Street Horror Series Tribute Site at FreddyKrueger.com for more information about the remake... including trailers, news and more.

Now that The Final Destination (Final Destination 4) is out on DVD, I thought I would take a moment to talk about this great horror movie series. While it doesn't fall in line with alot of the classics slashers in theme, it is still a classic horror movie series in my eyes. These movies can just plain creep you out if you think about it. The small events that can happen on a daily basis that could kill you, or come close to killing you is pretty hair raising. To face the possibility of death in everyday life caused by everyday activities can make you think about your mortality (for you mortals out there). Do yourself a favor and see all four movies in the series.
A Little About The Final Destination Series (source: wikipedia)
The premise to the film series about death is essentially the same: A group of people are gathered together at a venue, when suddenly a member of the group has a premonition of a disaster that will kill all of the people present. Horrified and motivated by the vision of impending doom, the person with the premonition then tries to prevent the incident by alerting the others. The other members have doubts of the incredible claims but the visionary is persistent, fracturing the group in hostile skeptics, dubious believers, or those that had no choice but to accompany the visionary. Soon afterward, disaster strikes as foreseen, proving to the survivors that the visionary was right, and their opinions change drastically.
Over the next few days, weeks or months, the same survivors begin to die in a series of horrific accidents until the same visionary notices a pattern and concludes that, while surviving the initial disaster, they are still destined to die.

Hello once again Horror Movie fans... The Frightmaster here. In my travels, I am often stopped and asked... is that your real face? I am also asked for recommendations on great horror movies, scary horror movies and even bad horror movies. At this, the greatest time of the year, the interest in horror movies seems to peek, so what better time than now to recommend a few lists for your horror viewing pleasure.
Halloween is the time of year when horror movies are dusted off, rented from a video store, or placed in the queue for some late-night, pitch-dark viewing. But there are scary movies and then there are scary movies. Looking for a true fright this season? Reelzchannel.com has some fun horror related content. One being their picks for scary movies that are actually scary.
Not actually looking for a scary movie this Halloween? Maybe you are one who likes really bad horror movies or are just looking for a list of movies to avoid. Either way, Moviefone has put out a list of the Worst Horror Movies of All Time. There are some pretty... okay, awesomely bad ones listed. I do not agree with all of the films on this list... but maybe I am a sucker for bad horror movies.
Hey there Horror Movie fans... The Frightmaster here again. I don't mind telling you, I love Horror Movies. I spend hours and hours in The Frightmaster's Lair sitting and watching tons of great horror movies. So many so, my lair has now been turned into The Frightmaster's Horror Theater.

I and my legions have compiled a list of horror movies that I like to call The Frightmaster's Favorite Horror Movies. This is not a list of all horror films that have ever been made, just a list of about 3000 of my favorites.
Take a look at The Frightmaster's Favorite Horror Movies page and you can browse the list alphabetically, or by the year the flick was released. You can also search by title if you are looking for a specific film or want to compare your favorites to mine. As much as I watch horror movies, I am sure to be adding to this list periodically... so keep checking back.
