Update: Plans Plans Plans!

Tuesday saw the first article in the relaunch of " The Corner of Terror ".  Today, I'd like to take the opportunity to give you an idea of what to expect in the days, months, years ahead. First off, you've probably noticed a sleeker new look that's very similar to our partners at " From the Basement ".  Well, it's so the two blogs can put forth a more united, and cohesive "brand" in terms of being recognizable by those just sauntering through.  When you see us, hopefully you'll think of them as well- and vice versa.  I've also streamlined and tidied up the banner a bit, while keeping a nice horror element to it. You've probably also noticed that I prefaced Tuesday's article with " The Game Room ", and that it matches many of the articles I write over in The Basement as well.  Once again- it's intentional, so we can create a stronger tie between the two blogs.  Also it'll help make it a bit easier to...

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now.  Thank you. TCoT :   Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica :  I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ".  So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the ...

Grave Questions: Brooke Lewis

When you're in the "business" of reviewing movies, you come across people in the industry that cover a wide spectrum of roles- from script writers, to producers, to directors, and performers.  Such was the case when my friend's over at " We Came From the Basement " interviewed a lovely lady by the name of Brooke Lewis several months ago.  While tweeting for their radio show that featured the interview, I got to talk a bit with Brooke via Twitter. As the photo at the top of this article shows quite nicely, Brooke is a beautiful woman- but she is much more than just a pretty face.  In addition to acting, she is also a producer (through her company Philly Chick Pictures), writer, and director in her own right.  She has also released at least one dance hit, has won numerous Scream Queen awards, and stars in her own web series as Ms. Vampy. Now, why would such a talented woman agree to answer my " Grave Questions "?  Because she's a brave per...

Grave Questions: Jonathan Chance

Not too long ago, I watched and reviewed " The Timeslip "- a short film by the indie film group, Chance Encounters.  Jonathan chance of the Chance Brothers was kind enough to agree to answer some questions" as part of my new regular feature- " Grave Questions ".  TCoT :   What inspired you to become a film maker in the first place ? John :   First and foremost - original ideas of our own to make!  Since we were little, we were into horror and SCI-FI.  Growing up in the 80's, full of movie icon's it was an inspiring time like no other. Around 10 and 14 we saw heroes like Peter Jackson, John Carpenter, etc show what a person could accomplish with a camera and some friends. That was inspiring.  Anyone can do it nowadays - so with strong competition you have to make yours stand out.   Among the crowd I definitely feel we have something to offer.  With every film, we want to make an exciting entry.  To give that feeling you have as a ...
