LITERAL REMAINS

the Clive Barker fansite fights for a 145 minute Nightbreed DVD no one wants….
Or so says Wil from HorrorYearBook.  I want it.  I like Nightbreed.  I think it’s an underrated film marred by not so good acting.  Anne Bobby is the main offender.  But other than that, what is everybody’s deal with hating this movie?  [...]

It’s just occurred to me I’ve never really given any of you a proper greeting.  So, from Literal Remains, hello and welcome to our humble site.  We’re glad you stopped by.  As Count Dracula said, “Enter, and leave some of the happiness that you bring.”
Don’t worry, I’m not going to suck your blood.  Yet.

It seems the remake train is still going strong, and a long way from ending.  Universal and Strike Entertainment are working to redo the Tobe Hooper film The Funhouse.  The 1981 movie is about four friends who spend the night in a carnival funhouse and are offed by a killer in a Frankenstien mask.  Apparently [...]
