Genre icons Dee Wallace – whose credits include The Hills Have Eyes, The Howling, Cujo, and Critters – and Felissa Rose – who will always be remembered for playing Angela in Sleepaway Camp – have signed on to star in the horror film The Boy from Below alongside Richie Ramone, who was the drummer for The Ramones from 1983 to 1987. Directed by Tory Jones, The Boy from Below is described as being a “retelling” of Jones’ 2017 film The Wicked One (which previously received a sequel titled Wicked Ones).
Jones had this to say about the project: “In 2014, I set out to create a new slasher character reminiscent of the horror heavyweights of films past. This would lead to the creation of The Wicked One, a corrupted teen who transforms into a hulking psychopath in a scarecrow mask. It would take two years, but finally The Wicked One premiered at Fright Night Film Festival 2016 to a...

What do you do when you’re on break from opening for Metallica’s world tour? In the case of Ice Nine Kills, you gather a couple thousand of your biggest fans for an unforgettable rock show.
For the second consecutive year, the Massachusetts-based band headlined a concert as part of Silver Scream Con, a horror convention curated by Ice Nine Kills mastermind Spencer Charnas. After last year’s intimate performance effortlessly sold out the 850-seat Cabot Theater in Beverly, Ma, this year’s event was booked at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn, Ma. Despite having more than double the capacity at 2,112, it sold out in advance.
Following an introduction by SiriusXM metal ambassador Jose Mangin and the dulcet tones of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ “Red Right Hand” from Scream, Ice Nine Kills – frontman Charnas, guitarist Ricky Armellino, bassist Joe Occhiuti, drummer Patrick Galante, and fill-in guitarist...

Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, Silver Scream Con returned to the Doubletree Boston North Shore in Danvers, Massachusetts on September 8-10 — ’cause let’s face it, baby, these days you gotta have a sequel!
Created by horror-inspired metalcore band Ice Nine Kills, Silver Scream Con has quickly established itself as a top-tier horror convention among celebrity guests and attendees alike. “Everybody’s been really nice, and I’m enjoying myself immensely,” said Tommy Lee Wallace, who created Michael Myers’ iconic mask for the original Halloween before going on to direct Halloween III: Season of the Witch. “I hope everyone gets the shit scared out of them!”
Not even severe thunderstorm alerts could stop the rabid fans, who traveled not just from all over North America but as far as Finland, Scotland, and England to attend. Ticket sales reportedly doubled from the previous year’s already-commendable showing,...

This article contains major spoilers for "Terrifier 2."
If "Terrifier 2" has taught me anything, it's that I would rather face a number of deadly obstacles than ever run into Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton). At least there's the possibility of survival with slasher villains like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger, whereas Art will stop at nothing to obliterate you once he's locked onto your presence. Throughout the film's nearly two and a half-hour runtime, which is unheard of for a slasher flick, we get to see Art dismember folks by means of some jaw-dropping practical gore effects. That's practically what sold the film beyond the traditional horror crowd, who largely knew what they were in for.
Whether it be the harrowing bedroom kill or ferocious final girl Sienna (Lauren Lavera) doing what needs to be done, "Terrifier 2" is built upon one memorably gory sequence after the other.

As the holidays are now in full force, you probably want to sit down on a comfy recliner, put your feet up, and put something on the TV. You could choose from a number of classic feel-good movies, television specials, or new releases just waiting to be seen, but why do all of that when you could spend some quality time with Art the Clown? You may not initially equate holiday cheer with the slasher villain who brutalizes the human body to unimaginable lengths, but you would be surprised at how festive this fella can be! In the spirit of the season, the good folks over at Screambox have prepared a "Terrifier 2" Yule Log just waiting for your viewing pleasure.
Of course, "Terrifier 2" made waves this past October as a massive win for independent horror, as it grossed over 12 million against a 250,000 budget. A pair of films that...

The Halloween season may be behind us, but "Terrifier 2" fever is still going strong. For well over a month, the hardcore splatter flick has become a box office sensation in the world of independent horror, along with ushering in the era of the MegaSlasher, according to Mike Flanagan. When it comes to the killer whose presence has garnered the most attention and disgust this year, look no further than the sadistic Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton).
In the pantheon of killer clowns, Art makes Pennywise's approach look like child's play. When Art comes for you, there's a 90 percent chance you're not making it out of the encounter alive, let alone with all of your skin intact. The pantomime slasher approaches his kills as if it's about to be the funniest thing he's done all week. Thornton has even talked about...
