From The Crypt: Getting To Know Guillermo del Toro
Crimson Peak is upon us.

American Horror Story: Hotel “Checking In” Review
There’s no doubting it, American Horror Story is an odd show. At its best, it’s scary (as the title would suggest), provocative and thrilling. At its worst, it’s a mess.

Creep (2014) Review

American Horror Story: Lange Is Out, But Is That Such A Bad Thing?
Finally after months of speculation it is official – the American Horror Story kingpin Jessica Lange is riding of into the sunset for ventures new. Sure she played a big part in the show’s successes over the past four seasons, but personally I’m ready for AHS to take the leap into new territories.
Ghost Are Real, This Much I Know – Crimson Peak Is Coming
Full disclosure – I love…LOVE Guillermo del Toro’s films. And he is back with a bang! The trailer for del Toro’s return to gothic horror Crimson Peak has been released, and from the first glimpse, I’m happy to report that it looks beautiful (and suitably creepy).
