Reilly was 'scared witless' by Halloween movie
- 18 Oct 2009
Actor John C. Reilly was scarred for life as a child when his mother took him to see gruesome slasher movie Halloween on the scariest night of the year (31Oct). The Boogie Nights actor recalls how he and his younger brother were taken to see the 1978 horror film, about a masked murderer, before they were even teenagers - and were left "scared witless" by the John Carpenter movie. And Reilly blames the terrifying experience for "damaging" his fragile mind. He says, "I was 12 years old and my... Read more

With Saw V and Midnight Meat Train both currently thrilling cinema goers across the country, we started reminiscing about the best horror movie taglines ever. A tagline, as you probably know, is the one-liner that appears on an ad, a poster or a commercial that sums up the appeal of a movie. Once upon a time yours truly was involved in a film society and we dabbled in this art ourselves. I recall coming up with a tagline for James Whale’s black and white classic Bride of Frankenstein ( Read more
Next two Saws get a director
- 19 Jul 2007
In what may be a real competitor for horror franchises of years past, the Saw series is set to run for two more instalments with a new director coming aboard the project. Psychologically chilling, the first Saw movie introduced a character who set up his victims in horrendous situations - with the only way out being to kill someone else. However, three years on, the fourth film is set to hit cinemas in October and it has been reported that the fifth and sixth are to be directed by David Hackl,... Read more
