You know it’s going to be a good time when Vikings are involved. HELHEIM (Oni Press) proves that you can throw the manly warriors into a great horror comic, crafting a work that is just as epic as it is terrifying. With walking corpses and beautiful woman, the comic is building up to be a strange story in the vein of CONAN THE BARBARIAN with its mix of magic and rip-roaring muscles. There's a reason the work is named after the Norse version of Hell.

Things slow this Holiday week? Take in the first four minutes of this February's zombie comedy WARM BODIES. 

Don Coscarelli has returned, and he wants you to keep up. Inspired by David Wong’s nonstop chronicle of other dimension adventures and identity shifting, the PHANTASM director has created a madhouse movie experience; one to kinetically entertain your senses, while it attempts to feed your head. Fango spoke with the legendary director about how he continues to feed his with current cinema and the questions he continues to explore in JOHN DIES AT THE END.

Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich are continuing their rollicking roadshow of musical horror in 2013. In Episode 2, heaven shines through. 

Telltale Games’ award-winning THE WALKING DEAD hit shelves in full on December 11th and thrust players into their very own zombie apocalypse. The retail version of THE WALKING DEAD contains all five episodes of the acclaimed game series and now fans can grab their very own copy of this dark and disturbing masterpiece for Xbox 360 or PS3 for free!

Eli Roth weathers a Chilean quake and Chilean maniacs in the Nicolás López-helmed film. 

The best thing about Twitter is that it offers you a chance to chat with folks you've admired for a big chunk of your horror-loving life on a level playing field. You both have 140 characters to say what you have to say, and unlike at a convention, you're not being rushed along so that the other fans can get their time in with their hero as well.  So it was a surreal delight for me to be tweeting about watching SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT III (read the Fango Flashback here), only to have Bill Moseley himself reply back a few minutes later.  I couldn't help but ask him about the movie a bit, but then realized that his recollections deserved a better venue than my Twitter feed, so just for you guys, I got him to answer a few questions about his experience working on the film.  Enjoy!

Ever find yourself in a village tavern, scoffing on wing night because you know what genre actress made her debut in HOME SWEET HOME, but not some dude's batting average? Los Angeles, we're coming for you!

From the moment we hear the first strains of the Scott Walker-esque English version of the original DJANGO theme song, lifted wholesale from Sergio Corbucci’s cult 1966 oater, set to images of a battered chain gang of soul-broken slaves, we know we are in the hands of a master. And make no mistake, Quentin Tarantino is a master.

Every year at holiday time, film critics and bloggers love to trot out their top-ten lists of seasonal genre classics, sometimes bolstered by a few new additions from the direct-to-video heap. All of which is to say that if you read a lot of genre mags, you’ve probably seen a lot of the worthy classics and curiosities by now. Enter THE MONSTER’S CHRISTMAS, a 1981 New Zealand oddity so obscure that–despite a no-frills region 1 DVD release in 2004–even genre buffs in its home country don’t seem to know about it.

Ask anyone about the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT series, and they will probably laugh, then either defend it or decry it, possibly offering the same examples to back their pro or con stance ("It's awful, it has a killer Santa!"/"It's amazing, it has a killer Santa!"). But they might be surprised to discover that the series has five installments (six with the recent remake), as it's the sort of title that a lot of people know but haven't actually sat down to watch, let alone follow it to direct-to-video land with the bulk of its sequels (only Part 2 played theatrically, and barely at that). It didn't help that the lesser known entries were given a poor release on DVD via Lionsgate, who dumped VHS transfers of the third, fourth, and fifth installments onto a multi-pack of bare-bones discs and slapped a killer Santa image on the cover, despite the fact that none of the films contained within featured a killer Santa.
