Four Horror Anthologies That Will Melt Your Brain

Predator: If it Bleeds

In light of Shane Black’s highly anticipated new film The Predator releasing in theaters in just eight days, I had to include an anthology starring the titular aliens.

Don’t be too quick to judge this collection. If you love predator, you will be pleasantly surprised. Every story is exciting and original and when the violence starts–its utter carnage. There isn’t a single addition that feels recycled or boring, although the one with the hillbillies felt a little out of place. But to be fair I think it was going for a more humorous tone.

The stories take place throughout different periods of time, from a space station in the future to fighting Stonewall Jackson during the civil war–which actually plays into his actual death and the Predator taking on Samurai warriors.

If Black’s film doesn’t work out, Hollywood has a lot of great material to choose from.

Nights of the Living Dead: An Anthology

A collection from the master himself. The man who started it all with The Night of the Living Dead back in 1968, George A. Romero. Paired with New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, the duo return with all new gruesome tales of the walking dead.

Taking place over the same 48 hour period as the original film, a plethora of brilliant writers tackle the zombie epidemic. A subgenre whose adoration from fans appears to only get stronger as the years go by.

I’m not a fan of Romero’s “Living Dead” films with the exception of The Night of the Living Dead remake which was written by him but not directed. That being said, I have the utmost respect for the director and what he has done for the genre.

When I saw that he was returning to his roots (back when zombies didn’t shoot guns) only this time it was in the form of a novel. In my opinion, this is where Romero is at his strongest and these stories did not disappoint.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
