In the late 1990s, word came out that Tobe Hooper‘s son William Tony Hooper was going to be directing a short film called All American Massacre, which would see Bill Moseley reprising the role of Chop Top from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (get it Here). What was originally expected to be a 10 to 15 minute short reportedly ended up with a running time of 60 minutes… but fans never got to see this Chop Top movie. More than twenty years after All American Massacre was filmed, it still hasn’t been released. So producer/director Edward Payson has made the feature-length documentary In Search of All American Massacre: The Lost Texas Chainsaw Film in hopes of learning more about this buried project.
In Search of All American Massacre: The Lost Texas Chainsaw Film is set to be released through Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Plex on November 30th. Coming to us from Anti-Hero Productions,...

Watching “Thirteen Lives, Ron Howard’s new docudrama, is a lot like having deja vu all over again — all over again. It’s the third film in four years based on the seemingly impossible rescue of 12 trapped children and their soccer coach from a flooded cave system in Thailand in 2018, and although it’s extremely competent, it fails to add a new perspective to the story or a distinctive approach to its telling.
Hot on the heels of Tom Waller’s 2019 drama “The Cave” and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin’s award-winning 2021 documentary “The Rescue,” Howard’s film stars Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell as Richard Stanton and John Volanthen, two highly experienced cave divers who traveled to the Tham Luang Nang Non cave after an unexpectedly early start to monsoon season trapped 13 people deep in its recesses, behind incredibly long, narrow, dangerous underwater caverns.

Ever since his first non-soundtrack album, Lost Themes, released in 2015, legendary horror director John Carpenter has entered what could be called a second wind of his illustrious career. The moniker of musician was fully cemented by his homecoming to the Halloween franchise in 2018, which saw him take the titles of both Executive Producer and Composer. With him returning to score sequel Halloween Kills alongside his son Cody and Daniel Davies, expectations are high for another propulsive score. If anything, though, it’s good to know his eerie synth sounds will soon rumble out of multiplex speakers across the world.
A man of simple, concise answers, Carpenter made time for a phone interview to discuss music and Halloween Kills. Naturally, knowing Carpenter’s vocal public persona, questions had to be asked about his two greatest passions: basketball and video games.

Bootsy Collins has released a characteristically eye-popping new clip for “Jam On,” his recent collaboration with Snoop Dogg and 17-year-old guitarist Brandon “Taz” Niederauer.
The clip is a delightfully outlandish space-age blast with Bootsy — wearing a stunning, glittering red top hat and matching outfit — and Co. delivering the song from a funked-out future. Niederauer steals the show with his impeccable shredding, while the clip also serves as a tribute to late Parliament-Funkadelic keyboard player, Bernie Worrell, who appears via archival footage.

The name of actor Bill Moseley and the horror genre go hand in hand, as he has starred in a slew of cult classic films such as “Repo! The Genetic Opera”, “House Of 1,000 Corpses”, The Devil’s Rejects” and the most recent “3 From Hell”. Moseley’s first big role in the horror genre came from playing the character of Chop Top in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”. Moseley also went on to appear in the HBO series “Carnivale” and is also an accomplished musician performing with the likes of Buckethead and Phil Anselmo to only name a few. We recently had a chance to catch up with Bill Moseley ahead of his upcoming appearance at Twiztid’s Astronomicon which will be taking place in Sterling Heights, Michigan. At Astronomicon Moseley will be offering fans a rare opportunity for a very special photo op of him in the infamous Chop Top make-up.

Funk legend Bootsy Collins and masked guitar wiz Buckethead have teamed for an absolutely bonkers cover of Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s Halloween classic, “Monster Mash.”
The pair’s rendition transforms the wholesome, jangly boogie of the original tune into a revved-up funk-metal hybrid, replete with big riffs and scorching guitar solos. There’s also a sheer delight in the way Collins’ milks every word of his vocal performance as he narrates the goings-on at the graveyard smash.

For a moment in the early Seventies, the House Guests were the hottest new funk group in Ohio. Its members, which included bassist Bootsy Collins and his brother, guitarist Phelps “Catfish” Collins, among others, had just finished backing James Brown on tracks like “Super Bad” and “Sex Machine” and had returned to their hometown of Cincinnati to try something different. They drafted singer Rufus Allen, who wasn’t afraid to do James Brown–style splits, and landed gigs opening for everyone from Gladys Knight and the Pips to George Clinton’s Funkadelic.

For the first two installments in this series, I tried to dig apart some of the thematic issues at the heart of science-fiction horror films. But beyond Alien, the subgenre has such a poor reputation that most entries in it aren’t worthy of too much serious consideration. Few horror auteurs ever try their hand at sci-fi horror crossover, and when they do, the results are often mixed.
Unfortunately, the penultimate film from horror master John Carpenter, 2001’s Ghosts of Mars, falls into this second category. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give it our attention; in fact, the film deserves a few words written about it simply because it’s so down-right bizarre. Basically, Ghosts of Mars is an outer space western set on a post-colonial Mars (actually a salt mine in New Mexico dyed with food coloring) in which wanted criminal Desolation Williams (Ice Cube, doing...

Vimeo user Brian Carroll uploaded this piece he edited together using interviews with Alfred Hitchcock and Janet Leigh discussing the shower scene in Psycho and it's a fantastic look at an iconic "slice" of cinematic history I believe you are sure to enjoy. Here's Brian's description of the video: "It became what we thought we saw, not what we saw." Janet Leigh. I have always been fascinated with Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho. I remember the first time I digitized it years ago and went through frame by frame to deconstruct how exactly it was put together. Psycho was edited by the great George Tomasini, a longtime collaborator of Alfred Hitchcock's. Out of all of Hitchcock's films, this scene is the most scrutinized due to it's nature of a young woman being viciously stabbed to death while in a very vulnerable position. In the year 1960, this was truly a groundbreaking moment in film.

This definitely isn't the first time we've showcased horror themed music videos on the site... even when a band's music isn't necessarily horror-based, if they put out a video with scary elements or horror movie homages, I make a point of sharing and reporting on it, and tons of music videos have made our Year's Best lists. Now I'm excited to announce we'll be devoting a regular feature to music videos both old and new, either popular or underground, that make horror visuals their main focus... and today we're gonna kick this off proper with one from the Wtf vaults. Enigmatic, kabuki-masked guitar virtuoso Buckethead (who, as shown above, literally wears a bucket on his head) has long been associated with the horror genre: his intricate, hyperactive neck-tapping guitar style has made its way onto soundtracks for splatter flicks like Flesh for the Beast and the comparatively mainstream John Carpenter film Ghosts of Mars,...
