Bloody Disgusting is deeply sad to learn the news that a member of our community has passed away this week. A longtime Bd writer, Felix Vasquez Jr. was just 41 years old.
The website Cinema Crazed, which was founded by Felix, reports this week, “Felix Vasquez Jr., the film critic and publisher of the Cinema Crazed website, passed away today at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, New York, at the age of 41 after a brief illness.”
Cinema Crazed’s Phil Hall adds, “A native of the Bronx, Felix first came to prominence as a member of the Film Threat team of critics and wrote a column on the Bloody Disgusting horror film site. He also contributed to Cinema Blend, Crave and Screen Anarchy before launching Cinema Crazed in 2005, which celebrated horror, science-fiction and cult movies.”
Felix began writing for Bloody Disgusting back in 2018, primarily contributing the monthly “TV Terrors” column to the site.

Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is thrilled to be releasing Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story. The film will premiere exclusively on the Icon Film Channel from 2nd October 2023, with Special Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and Tvod/Est available from 6th November 2023.

Shooting to super-stardom with his revolutionary portrayal of Freddy Krueger in the ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ franchise – a moment without doubt as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s ground-breaking realisation of Frankenstein’s monster – Englund has firmly earned his place in the pantheon of horror movie legends. The documentary features a host of horror icons including Robert Englund himself, as well as...

A new episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at a very popular show that aired back in the 1990s: the R.L. Stine-inspired anthology series Goosebumps! Basing a TV series on Stine’s books was a great idea, because there’s a whole lot of source material to pull from. Since 1992, Stine has written more than 150 Goosebumps books, and many of those were published during the TV show’s 1995 to 1998 run. To find out what we had to say about the TV adaptations of Stine’s stories, check out the video embedded above!
Wikipedia provides a synopsis for Goosebumps: Goosebumps is a children’s anthology horror television series based on R. L. Stine’s best-selling book series of the same name. It is an anthology of stories about tweens and young teens finding...

It’s time for a new episode of our Horror TV Shows We Miss video series, and in this one we’re longing for the return of The Outer Limits – with a specific focus on the revival series that ran for seven seasons, from 1995 to 2002. To find out what we had to say about The Outer Limits, check out the video embedded above!
Created by Leslie Stevens, the first run of The Outer Limits lasted just two seasons (49 episodes), running on ABC from 1963 to ’65. Airing on Showtime and then the Sci-Fi Channel, the revival series was
an anthology of distinct story episodes, sometimes with a plot twist at the end. The revival series maintained an anthology format, but occasionally featured recurring story arcs that were then tied together during season-finale clip shows.
There were 152 episodes of the revival series over the course of its seven seasons.

Shot right here in good old Blighty, The Last Showing is the latest in a relatively small line of horror movies set in the cinema, films such as Popcorn, Midnight Movie and Demons, films that I consider (especially in the case of Popcorn) some of my personal favourites. So how would Robert Englund’s latest foray into the horror genre fare?
The Last Showing tells the story of ageing projectionist Stuart Lloyd (Englund) who, feeling sidelined by the advances in technology and by the growing apathy he sees towards cinema at the multiplex he works at, seeks revenge on a generation that no longer requires his skills. Trapping a young couple, Martin (Jones) and Allie (Berrington), inside the cinema during a midnight screening, he sets a deadly plot in motion to...

In honor of the impending Halloween holiday, Dr. Jimmy Terror from Dr. Terror’s Blog of Horrors stops by The Liberal Dead to assist in merrymaking and overall mischief.
More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead was recently released on October 18th. I’m sure you’ve been reading all about it, but for those of you who have not been sending out for more paramedics here’s the story thus far:
More Brains! A Return To The Living Dead is now available on DVD. It’s the ultimate account of the tongue-in-cheek, stylish and apocalyptic zombie movie. It features contributions from all the main cast as well as clips, photographs, storyboards, conceptual art, publicity materials, archival documents and behind-the-scenes footage.
Basically the best damn documentary you’re going to see all year. It’s this year’s Never Sleep Again (or at least that’s what I’ve...

It's funny that I still sort of think of Patrick Lussier as a "new" filmmaker. He's not, of course, by any means. He got his start working as an assistant editor in the '80s working on TV, and then moved up to cutting shows like "MacGyver" before hooking up with Wes Craven on "Nightmare Cafe," which led to him cutting "New Nightmare," Craven's attempt at redefining his own Freddy Kruger. Lussier worked on some troubled films over the years, and must have amazing battle stories from "Mimic" and "Vampires In Brooklyn" and "Halloween H20" and especially "Cursed." His time working at...

It’s time once again for horror at the Oscars. Sunday’s festivities were filled with folks who have worked in the genre and per usual, I feel if it’s a win for Danny Boyle, it is a win for rage-zombie fans everywhere. Seems like a lot of folks this year are veterans of Exorcist: The Beginning, Amityville: A New Generation and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Of course, the most important genre win would be Greg Cannom, a staple of 80’s horror effects; he worked on such films as Fright Night Part 2, The Lost Boys and The Howling.
Now some movies on this list might be “kinda horror.” These thrillers or genre-friendly frameworks are on the ghoulish cusp and are marked with an asterisk. Some flicks on the list are there because, what the fuck,...
