Enchanted forests, haunted hillsides, secluded cabins and the creatures that reside in dark places – have had us biting our nails since the early German Expressionist film era.  Witches, werewolves, monsters and maniacs can be lurking ‘round the corner just about any place you can imagine.  With Nicholas Cage’s Season of The Witch out on DVD and Blu-ray next week, we’re going to take a look at some of the most iconic and eerie locales in thrillers and horror films that make for the best places to splatter, slice and slash.

Lakes

Crystal Lake is well-known from the beloved Friday The 13th and even though those films are set in New York, there so happens to be a real Crystal Lake in the San Gabriel’s near Los Angeles that many horror fans like to claim as their own.  Lake Placid is home to a killer crocodile and movies like Eden Lake, »

Tremors? Nightbreed? Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat? 976-evil? Are all on the list this year. And though there were not huge horror wins in sound editing through screenplays, the Technical Awards never cease to bring out the horror veterans. Notably Tim Drnec who contributed to such VHS classics as Alien Seed, Destroyer, and Prison won for his work on “Spydercam 3D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies.” An award also shared with Ben Britten Smith and Matt Davis who both also worked on Constantine.

But among all the winners, the Academy also honored some great loses in 2010. And though they mentioned some of our heroes, Dennis Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Dino de Laurentiis (King Kong), they did not mention Zelda Rubinstein or Corey Haim. But we will in this last section and the others lost to us last year.

So farewell fight fans and remember, »

If there's anything better than a Nazi in a movie, it's a Nazi in a horror movie. That's why I'm really happy to hear that Dutch filmmaker Raaphorst will finally be able to bring his Nazi zombie vision to the big screen for demented perverts like me, who enjoy nothing better than to see Nazis as zombies, vampires, victims, and villains.

Because they're the perfect villains. Perfect. It's very hard to make an argument about why anyone should have pity for any kind of a Nazi at all, even a non-zombie one, so using them as a device in a horror film is akin to brilliant. Last year's Dead Snow was one of the most original horror movies of the new decade because... the zombies were nazis. Imagine if the zombies in Dead Snow weren't Nazis, but just Danish people: Boring. No one cares abour Danish people. We Do care about Nazis, »
