 Director Jon Keeyes first began creeping his name into the horror realm with American Nightmare, and proves his genre staying power with his new serial killer-thriller, Fall Down Dead. Set for the Christmas season, the movie stars Dominique Swain (Christie), as our heroine in peril, the late David Carradine (Wade) as our bumbling-yet-lovable security guard, and Udo Kier (the Picasso Killer) as our razor blade wielding psycho. Their paths collide when Christie accidentally discovers the Picasso Killer doin’ his thang, and hides for cover in a near empty office building.
Jon Keeyes talks to us about the lure of serial killers, assembling his killer cast, working with Carradine on one of his last projects, and what’s next. (more…)

 Sir Alfred Hitchcock, 1899-1980 In the fall of 1973, Alfred Hitchcock sat down with Tom Snyder on the Tomorrow Show and gave a rare, one-hour length interview. In the years since the interview, the footage (according to the clip’s description), was widely thought to be lost or destroyed. But instead, “the VHS (SP) tape itself was found to be in excellent condition. While properly stored in a climate controlled environment it apparrently had not been played in decades. Great care has been taken to make the digital transfer.”
The interview reminds us of the personality behind Hitchcock (reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock Presents…), instead of “just” the director of classics like Psycho. It begins with his answering a question of what terrifies him, “”Most things. I’m scared of policemen. I never drive a car, on the theory that if you don’t drive a car you can’t get a ticket….” (more…)

Warning: Image spoilers ahead.
When you conjure images of the sets of classic horrors such as Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera, Jack Pierce’s The Wolf Man with Lon Chaney, Jr. or Frankenstein’s Monster with Boris Karloff, and Wally Westmore’s Mr. Hyde with Fredric March, you picture the lone makeup artist creating magical character concepts inside a cramped makeup studio, then arriving with his makeup kit to the set of his movie alone to realize the character for film. Such was the case with Gino Crognale on the new horror picture Sorority Row. (more…)

Scott Essman’s shared an interview/promo vid for the Seven Scream Queens of “Sorority Row.” You can check it out after the jump. Personally, verdict out on this movie, as the only scary thing seems to be Rumer Willis’s giant head. Although I do love that hand-clap and chanting bit. (more…)

 Fan Turned Filmmaker, Paul Davis Interview by Scott Essman
Englishman Paul Davis was more than a fan of the classic 1981 Universal film, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON; he was also an aspiring filmmaker. Yet with no credits to his name, undertaking a documentary about this property was a longshot in the minds of many, including Davis.
However, after nearly three years of work, the film has found a home, in, of all places, Universal’s “Full Moon Edition” 2-Disc DVD and Blu-ray HD release of the film, out September 15, 2009. In this interview, he tells the entire story of creating the film, from conception through its now remarkably unlikely release. (more…)

 Elijah Wood at Focus Features' Twitterview Focus Features held a Twitter interview this afternoon with Elijah Woods, to promote his new movie “9.” Surprisingly, Elijah spent a good deal of the (pretty short) interview professing his love for… horror movies. We can’t believe it, but he actually references “The Faculty.” Goddamn! Below are highlights from the interview. (more…)

Interview By Scott Essman
Since he burst on the scene with the wildly imaginative 1993 stop-motion animated feature The Nightmare Before Christmas, California Institute of the Arts graduate Henry Selick has been one of Hollywood’s most innovative filmmakers. After his stop-motion followup to Nightmare, the well-received 1996 film James and the Giant Peach, Selick directed the partially live-action film Monkeybone in 2001. Now, the long-in-the works Coraline, a surreal mixture of animation and fantasy, arrives on DVD on July 21, 2009 after a successful theatrical run that included both traditional and dynamic 3D screenings. In this exclusive interview from his new Portland, Oregon studio base, Laika, Selick reflects on his lauded career and shares special insights into the creation of Coraline, his most ambitious project to date.
