Horror's Not Dead

Horror's Not Dead

"I promise to rip the smooth, white skin off American literature and expose the spreading tumor of spineless suburban mediocre fiction that is eating the weak, atrophied muscle of art and then to clean the wound I made with the chewing maggots of my words."
-- Knut Nims

    What’s with all the remakes?

    yeah, and now, in addition to PROM NIGHT and THE STEPFATHER, they are also remaking TERROR TRAIN and HE KNOWS YOUR ALONE.

    would they just let the 80’s slashers be already?

    although, i’d be psyched about HE KNOWS YOUR ALONE if they found a way to get Tom Hanks in it again… playing the same role…
