Members of the Grue-Crew had a fun time at Raleigh Supercon recently. It was great meeting so many folks, including old fans and new listeners. One of the cool people that they got to meet was Kenny Biddle of the Geeks & Ghosts YouTube channel. And this time, instead of Doc being the interviewer, he was the interviewee. Kenny interviewed Gruesome’s own Doc Rotten for Geeks & Ghosts’ report on the convention. They chatted about […]
At HNR and Gruesome Magazine, we adore the teams behind Night of Something Strange and She Kills. Their wacky sensibilities are highly entertaining and transcend their budgets. Director Ron Bonk returns with HOUSE SHARK about a house with a … shark problem. Uh…how in the holy hell does that happen? Who cares! Check out the trailer for gory, goofy, deliriously zany fun. 7/25/17 – Syracuse, NY SRS Cinema does “Shark Week” their way with the release of the […]
Easily one of the most anticipated events coming out of the San Diego Comic Con was the Stranger Things panel that was slated for today and the anticipation paid off big time as we got ourselves one kick ass three-minute long tease of what appears to be yet another season of throw back horror awesomeness. From the opening scene of the gang playing Dragon’s Liar to the inclusion of Vincent Price once again reciting his […]

Or it may be psychotic killer obsessed with horror movie icons stalking a bunch of high school students during Christmas vacations. Either way, The Black Saint is screwed. Oh, the joy! Lisa Ovies is joined by producer Jessica Cameron (Truth or […]
Ryuhei Kitamura is a fascinating and exciting director. For me, it all started with Versus (2000) which immediately impressed the hell out of me. Later years would bring two genre favorites Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) and The Midnight Meat Train (2008). Eleven Arts is set to bring his latest horror classic Downrange to hungry audiences in 2018. Described in the press release as “a minimalist thriller with maximum tension,” we cannot wait to get our […]

As the news of the passing of one of modern horror’s founders – George A. Romero – rippled through the news and online world, praise and remembrances have been pouring in from anyone who ever worked with him, spoke with him or been influenced by him and that stands as just a small testament to the power and honesty of this mans work. Although I never had the opportunity to work one on one with […]
Some of Stephen Kings best work of the last few years has been his Bill Hodges trilogy of which Mr. Mercedes was the first tome in the collection. Not a straight up horror story but certainly hardcore enough to make his bloodthirsty brood happy – the story was ripe for an adaptation and AT&T’s Audience Network was more than happy to oblige. Premiering on Aug. 9th – the channel has supplied the following synopsis: “From […]

One of those nostalgic things is Drive-in theaters. An invention patented in Camden, NJ by Richard Hollingshead Jr. came to fruition in 1933 and despite setbacks drive-in theaters ultimately thrived […]
