With the news this week that Macaulay Culkin will be joining the upcoming season of American Horror Story, I thought about Big Mac’s films throughout the year and how horror-adjacent many of them are.

The early 1990s were not a great time in the horror genre as the big slasher franchises had mostly run their course and the new teenage wave starting with Scream were still a few years away. Arguably, the biggest film to come from this barren time is 1992's Candyman, a smart and socially relevant tale with more heft than your later Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th installments.

Short of the 1930s adaptation of H.G. Well’s novel The Invisible Man, I can’t really think of any other version or variant that is renowned or even good. While Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man takes some interesting approaches, I can’t give it more than mediocre with a few flourishes here and there. Perhaps this week’s The Invisible Man directed by Leigh Whannell can strike a better balance.

20th Century Fox is Dead. Long Live 20th Century Fox!

Not Fox News though. That can rot in hell.

As I am wont to do, while on a recent excursion to my local Wal-Mart for some mundane item like socks or cat food, I wandered back into the electronics area, specifically to the DVDs. While I am many years removed from my bad habits of blind buying movies that I might have a passing interest in, I still like to peruse the new and new-ish releases for anything that catches my eye. On a recent trip, that title was Bulletproof 2.

Jesus, Another 'Texas Chainsaw' Movie?

New reports indicate that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series is still alive ... for some reason.
