Ms. Horror Blogosphere: An Explanation
Hey folks, B-Sol here with what I guess is an explanation of sorts, and one which I feel is important and necessary. Earlier today, The Vault of Horror's Ms. Horror Blogosphere competition was the subject of a very angry post by Heidi Martinuzzi of P...
Hump-Day Harangue: So Apparently, Ray Harryhausen Sucked...
Titans will clash, indeed. Look, I know that movies about Greek mythology are only very tangentially horror-related, but you'll just have to bear with me on this one. I'm steamed. And I've run out of refills on my antacid medication, so this is not g...
Hump-Day Harangue: A Paranormal Activity Backlash? Are You Serious?
Movies are subjective, I get it. Especially when it comes to horror, a genre designed to provoke feeling more than thought. Yet, there are certain movies that seem to unite most horror fans, or at least seem to be examples of what a good scary movie ...
Hump-Day Harangue: Calling Out the After Dark HorrorFest, Part 1
This week I bring you a guest harangue, from long-time Vault Dweller and comrade in the world of the macabre, the mysterious and marvelous Marilyn Merlot. Marilyn is, I confess, much more versed in the notorious "8 Films to Die For" phenomenon than I...
Hump-Day Harangue: Petty Greed Sinks the Werewolf TV Series Box Set...

Every now and then a major piece of horror news slips through the very impressive net here at The Vault of Horror. Such was the case with this frustrating bit of information, which I only learned a week ago from ALK of WritRightWrote. I'm sure everyo...
Hump-Day Harangue: BLOB-ZOMBIE? Say It Ain't So!
Dear Rob Zombie, you made a couple of good songs back in the day, and a couple of good horror flicks, too. So why must you be the source of so much agita for me, two days in a row? Fresh off my rant on the many sins of Halloween II, I've now caught m...
Hump-Day Harangue: Forget Entertainment Weekly, Here's a REAL List
I'm going to keep this one short and simple. In case you've been living on Venus, Entertainment Weekly has dropped yet another horror movie list/nail-bomb on us, and the online horror community has once again risen in self-righteous indignation. I wo...
Hump-Day Harangue: The Wolf Man Is Going to Suck. My Heart Is Breaking.
As many of you may know, I've been avidly following the Wolf Man remake almost since day one of The Vault of Horror. I held it up as my shining example of a "good remake", and anxiously awaited the Del Toro/Hopkins/Baker goodness to come... But... si...
Hump-Day Harangue: Might the American Let the Right One In Actually Be... Good??
Normally, I use this space as a platform from which to launch my vitriol at this or that outrage going on in the world of horror. But this week, it was suggested to my by BJ-C of Day of the Woman that I use the Hump-Day Harangue as a force for good. ...
