Old school gamers of kaiju mayhem remember SNK’s King of the Monsters games. While they weren’t the deepest fighters, they did give us the dream of battling other kaiju in one-on-one battles. We were subsequently spoiled with several other games in that style, notably Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its sequels, along with the

For Godzilla Day and Godzilla Fest today, Toho has released a special treat in the form of a brand new 5-minute short film that continues the fight between Godzilla and Hedorah!

While the rise of the internet means that it’s now much easier to recommend underrated flicks

Toho International, Inc. is celebrating Godzilla Day on Wednesday, November 3rd in several ways, and they’re even bringing the original classic back to theaters for the big day.

With the recent release of David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills still delighting and frustrating viewers in equal measure, there’s perhaps no better way for horror readers to usher in every genre fan’s favorite holiday than by giving the upcoming Halloween Kills novelization a peek. Penned by Tim Waggoner and boasting a fleshed out version of

Michael Myers’ adventures in murdering babysitters have certainly changed since his silent and disturbing introduction in 1978. While John Carpenter introduced us to a more subdued yet equally terrifying Shape in his first film, the series would soon transform the white-masked menace into something more.

It was only last month that we looked back on the original Castlevania, which after 35 years, still remains one of the Konami’s best NES games.
