Greetings to you from Straight Outta Kanto! What would you do, dear readers, if you found yourself in a situation where hordes of bare-breasted lust-filled women chased you through rural Edo period Japan in the hopes of making sweet, sweet love with you? No! No need to tell me. I can imagine that you would
The words “for better or for worse, til death do us part” weren’t framed with the challenges lovebirds of horror face, however death often does part them. The writers at Grimoire of Horror have put together a list of our favorite horror couples featuring tales of love that are sometimes tender, sometimes tragic, mostly horrific,
Being a girl ain’t easy, especially for the heroines of horror movies. Luckily, having your best gal pals by your side can make it all a little easier, whether it’s making it through a heartbreak, smashing monsters, or chasing down and murdering the fool who tried to murder you.

I love me a unique creature feature book and what better one to plunk down and read than Tim Lebbon’s The Silence? You might have seen the Netflix adaptation that more than recalled A Quiet Place, directed by John Krasinski. While I enjoyed both films, I feel like Mr. Lebbon’s original novel has not been
Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion is a 1972 Japanese exploitation flick of the ’70s, closely tied into the ‘Pinku eiga’ genre for the flippant erotica, with all the tropes of a grindhouse installment – unabashed violence, casual nudity, exaggerated villains, and farcical action. Campy as they are wild, these films are frequently a guilty pleasure to
Konnichiwa! Ni Hao! Dia Duit! Straight Outta Kanto here to put you off your dinner with the 2009 stomach churning Thai horror Meat Grinder. On the surface Tiwa Moeithaisong‘s splatter fest may appear to be nothing more than a gratuitous, exploitative ‘torture porn.’ However, Meat Grinder isn’t so much a roller coaster ride through a
Box can be called confusing, to say the least. It is a deeply psychological drama with a sheer disturbing quality that could make it easily seen as part of the horror genre.
