Wicked Horror is the author of The Intensity of High Tension: A Look at Plagiarism in Horror. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more.

In a time of remakes, reboots, re-imaginings and so forth, the genre fan has a narrowed selection in terms of originality. This debatable lack of creativity divides audiences on a regular basis. Whether or not one is a fan of the remake, the idea of proper acknowledgment and credit should never be in question. Intensity […]

Wicked Horror is the author of Comic Review: Pumpkinhead #1 is the Sequel You’ve Been Waiting For. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more.

Full disclosure, Pumpkinhead has long been one of my favorite horror movies, dating back to childhood. It’s something that I immediately gravitated to because of the jaw-droppingly horrific monster design and something I only grew to love more as I got older because of the intensely satisfying way it takes the material seriously and never […]

As we’ve pointed out several times before, setting is everything in a horror film. It can completely shape the atmosphere. In times of oversaturation for the genre, though, you see a lot of the same locations being used over and over again. Sometimes a haunted house plays itself out and you need to change things […]

Given that this moment in time is simultaneously characterised by the marginalised members of our society standing up and refusing to take any more shit, and dumb kids with their heads stuck in their phones 24/7, it makes sense that a film like Like Me exists.

One of the most obvious parts of the filmgoing experience is the presentation of images given to the audience. Many factors contribute to the scare factor in a horror film, such as sound, acting, tension and so forth.

George A. Romero never cottoned to the use of the word “zombies” to describe the “ghouls” in his genre defining debut, Night of the Living Dead.

Fright Night is a staple of the vampire genre. It came along at exactly the right moment.

As horror fans, we go crazy for practical effects. Genre output from the 1980s was rife with expertly rendered practical FX work. By the mid-’80s, the effects had become the main attraction of many of the films released in that era. In some cases, the practical FX work was the only draw. With that in mind, we are […]

Gothic sees five famous friends coming together to bring their deepest fears to life. The experience then leads to the creation of more than one great literary work. On the guest list are Lord Byron,  Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont (Mary Shelley’s stepsister), and Dr. John William Polidori. To put it bluntly: Gothic is unnecessarily weird. The concept of a […]
