Mad Decent's resident dubstep champ drops single today

Mad Decent’s resident dubstep champion Rusko drops his first official single today since last summer’s debut album O.M.G. The track, “Everyday”, comes loaded with remixes by the likes of Netsky, Original Sin (who give it the drum n bass treatment) and a funky garage remix from DJ Q. The B-side “Lick The Lizard” is a […]


Sofia Coppola and now Catherine Hardwicke are making my mission to support women directors a wee bit tough. Coppola’s Somewhere bored me and angered me in equal measure, turning me into something resembling a lobotomized pit bull, and watching Catherine Hardwicke’s pricey new take on Red Riding Hood just made me feel kinda embarrassed.

Scare the crap out of kids, be a hero to goths everywhere

The scariest movie you’ll see this year has nothing to do with paranormal activites, exorcisms gone haywire, viral zombies, lovelorn vampires or […]

From phantom limbs to the faces of the famous

I stumbled across the photography of Ruadh DeLone and was instantly struck — both by the inherent disturbing nature of some of his themes, and the adept skill with which he captures his subjects. There’s obviously some post-production Photoshop wizardry performed on some images, but they are not tricks to hide flaws but rather techniques […]


The stationary Jacques Pense designed for Germany’s most famous crime and horror channel, 13th Street, is enough to send most conservative studio execs dry heaving into their coffee — which is precisely why it is so rad. Not only is it graphically raw and biologically accurate, which anyone with an illustrator’s pen, rabid imagination and […]

Animated Horror Films begin to make noise

Apparently there’s a new genre of film burgeoning: animated horror movies. The business model actually makes sense, as the filmmakers only have to animate a compelling trailer and then find the proper funds to actualize the movie. Given the steadily decreasing costs of animation, and the steadily increasing costs of live productions, these films seem […]
