Pain… Pain… Pain… That’s one of the main emotions I experienced while watching this week’s (rather excellent) Doctor Who, as I knew this weekly round-up of references, similarities and generally interesting ‘stuff’ was going to be a whopper. That doesn’t mean I haven’t missed anything, though, so if you spot something I’ve not mentioned, do the honourable thing and leave it in the comments section below...

So, Genesis Of The Cybermen, then. In case you missed the episode’s biggest sledgehammer of a reference,...

We return with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes details on a Wes Craven art exhibition, the first sighting of Megafoot, a 100 zombie films graphical print, first photos from Australian Horror film, Barrow, an interview with actor, writer, and filmmaker Sean Stone, and much more:

The Horror Legacy of Wes Craven Exhibit Details: “Wes Craven has been feeding our collective horror consciousness since 1972, when his first feature, “The Last House on the Left,” debuted. That film was gritty, raw and terrifying, it still causes a guttural reaction some 40 years later. In his career, Wes has created some of the most memorable moments in horror cinema, from the torture scene in “The Serpent and the Rainbow,” to the Johnny Depp’s explosive scene in “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” to the first glimpse of Michael Berryman’s savagery in “The Hills Have Eyes.

Without a doubt, Suspiria is Dario Argento’s best film (some of you may not feel the same, but I stand behind my choice), and one of the most atmospheric and artistic films ever made in the horror genre. It is the first in Argento’s “The Three Mothers” trilogy, which also includes Inferno and The Mother Of Tears. Argento was at the top of his proverbial game when directing both Suspiria and Inferno as they defy everything you've come to expect from horror films. Not only are they brimming with suspense and incredibly stylized violence, they are absolutely beautifully filmed.

Suspiria defines the horror film as a work of visual art. Scenes are lit with bright reds, greens, and blues making them look more like moving paintings than film. It's a masterpiece of visual filmmaking. Suspiria also includes one of the most memorable soundtracks of all time. Goblin, who...

In the fall of last year we ventured into the mountains just outside of Big Bear, California, to the set of then-filming feature Axeman at Cutter’s Creek and while there chatted with many of the flick’s principal players.

Written, executive produced (with Debra Lamb) and to be directed by Hollow (with cinematography by Wolfgang Meyer), the filmmaker says of A Blood Story, “It’s a dark and twisted, blood-drenched love story of sorts that starts with three strangers who meet on their journey to find the truth of an age-old legend, the Fountain of Youth, but they uncover much more. The evil that follows is delved in the deepest of bloody historical secrets, (the Countess) Bathory!”

Horror. Vampires. Seductive huntresses. Creator and writer Jason Dube is teaming with director Wolfgang Meyer and producer Stacy Pippi Hammon to bring the eye-catching visuals of his dark and engaging Shadow Hunters comic to life as a feature-length, live-action film.

From the Press Release:

The official Shadow Hunters announcement was made during the recently concluded Miss Misery’s Days of Terror horror convention in Sacramento, California. Director Meyer (Model Hunger, Disciples) is currently penning the script with input from Dube. Hammon (a co-director of the Viscera Film Festival) completes the production team.

Shadow Hunters revolves around the lives of three teenagers seeking vengeance on a dark demon. Though they have supernatural powers, Jessika (a werewolf), Jenna (a vampire), and Renae (a witch) aren’t the monsters in the comic book. In the world of Shadow Hunters, sometimes the things that go bump in the night are the heroes themselves.

Hey there, interplanetary slaves, it's time for our Fourth of July edition of the show! I thought the guest for Independence Day should be iconic. He should be legendary... and he should want to sing "The Star Spangled Banner."

So I chose the incredible, and incredibly kind, Angus Scrimm of the Phantasm series! Angus was nothing but a joy to chat with. We talked about his beginnings, plenty about the Phantasm series, as well as his latest projects, John Dies at the End and Disciples. Thom Surprenant was the only "terror team" member who could join this show with me, and we were nothing but honored, and yes, we were total "fanboys" at times.

Next week kicks off our partnership with Cosmic Toast and the movie Raze! I am calling this venture Fight or Die...In July! We kick off our events with one of the actresses from the film,...

A New poster and the first full trailer have been unveiled for Zeroinside Films' new sc-fi found footage project Area 51 Confidential.

The movie sees people from various walks of life held captive outside a secret government installation rumoured to contain extraterrestrial life. A teaser trailer was unveiled in May 2011.

The found footage subgenre - in which a movie is presented as an amateur video recording of actual events - has previously been thrust into the spotlight by such films as Paranormal Activity, Quarantine, Cloverfield and perhaps most famously by The Blair Witch Project.

This latest production is presented under the guise of a "military training video for new hires at the facility known as Area 51."

It follows the plight of a handful of individuals - a broadcast journalist, a documentarian, a teenage girl from Roswell, an army Colonel, and a man who had previously been thought "missing" for...

We’re back with the latest Indie Spotlight. This weekend’s feature includes plenty of zombies, Area 51, a creepy clown, and The Walking Dead bowling.

Area 51 Confidential Trailer: A new trailer for the found footage film Area 51 Confidential has just been released.

“Presented under the guise of a “military training video for new hires at the facility known as Area 51″, we follow the plight of a handful of individuals – a broadcast journalist, a documentarian, a teenage girl from Roswell, an army Colonel, and a man who had previously been thought “missing” for a number of years – as they awaken in the desert area surrounding Area 51.

With no knowledge of how they arrived there, they must sort out their differences and find a way out – before strange lurking creatures find them first.

On Tuesday, December 6th, Lionsgate is set to release writer/director Mel House's latest genre offering, Psychic Experiment, which features an all-star cast including Katie Featherston, Debbie Rochon, Adrienne King, Reggie Bannister, Glenn Morshower, Kathy Lamkin and Shannon Lark just to name a few.

Psychic Experiment is centered around an idyllic, small, self-sufficient community which seems like the perfect neighborhood on the surface. After all, everything you could possibly need is within walking distance. But eventually the pastoral exterior conceals a dark past and an even darker secret, and as a group of individuals - each with their own ties and agendas with the town and each other - converge on the enclave, strange things begin to happen. Very strange things. Strange enough to test - and then break - the very fabric of reality itself.

In honor of Psychic Experiment's upcoming home release bow, Dread Central had...
