Good day, throttlers of all things pulsing. It.s a beautiful day in the neighborhood as we head towards that most important of all holidays, April Fool.s Day. Fred Walton.s April Fool.s Day is almost required viewing as you stuff peanut cans with spring-filled snakes and inundate Twitter with fake Marvel casting rumors. March 29 doesn.t have any specific horror movies whose screenings are correlative, but it.s still a good day to read about the more exciting horror headlines of the week. In bite-sized news, head to the Stanley Film Festival site to see what this year will be bringing to the famed Shining hotel's annual fest. Shameless star Cameron Monaghan has signed on for Franck Khalfoun.s new Amityville.

Forget Dawson and Joey- my favorite star-crossed lovers on The WB in the late 90’s were Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz). I think I may have gone through about four boxes...

One of the staples of '70s and '80s slasher flicks is the use of the calendar for easy source material. While most slashers from the '80s using date-based themes were attempting to capitalize on the success of John Carpenter's Halloween (which was blandly titled The Babysitter Murders before the filmmakers wisely turned their attention to our favorite holiday), the tradition dates back even further, to Bob Clark's 1974 chiller Black Christmas.

Dread Central’s next final girl, Amy Steel, portrayed the lone surviving female in two horror films of the 80s. Her first role was as Ginny, the Camp Crystal Lake counselor with a background in psychology that helped her survive Jason Voorhees’ vengeful rampage in Friday the 13th Part 2.

Steel played one of several college co-eds that travel to their friend’s summer house, only to find that what she thought would be a relaxing weekend would turn out to be a weekend with a large body count.
The actress had a knack for portraying strong, intelligent final girls that generally were smart enough to stay ahead of the pack that they traveled with. A lot of this was due to Steel’s own introversion, something...
