Most people were very excited to hear of a Carrie remake starring Chloe Moretz. I, on the other hand was
slightly torn. I really enjoyed the
original and really was not sure how the remake was going to play out. However, I am a big fan of Chloe Moretz as an
actor, so I really thought she could pull off the role of a tormented teenager.

Danielle Harris: Horror Icon
Many fans of the horror film genre think of Danielle Harris
as a scream queen, I think of her more as a horror icon. She started in the horror genre over 25 years
ago with her portrayal of Jamie Lloyd in Halloween
4. She has come a long way since
then, playing in over 25 horror films as well as a role in the web series Fear Clinic along side horror film
legends Robert Englund and Kane Hodder.

Crowd Funding and The Horror Film Industry
Everywhere you look these days, the term crowd funding is
there. Websites like Kickstarter and
Indiegogo are just two of the many sites that people can use to try and raise
money for all types of projects from movies to small businesses.

3-D Technology and the Horror Genre
3-D technology has been around for many years. It all started in the early 1920s with 3-D
release of The Power of Love. During the 1940s, 3-D began picking up speed.
The main reason for this is that theaters needed a way to increase ticket sales
because most people decided to stay home and watch television. They used the 3-D technology to differentiate
the cinemas from home theaters.

Will the Financial Success of the Evil Dead Remake, Lead to More Remakes?
-->
After my blog about computer-generated effects (CGI), I went
out and watched Evil Dead again. Although there was some CGI in there, I
really dug the film even more the second time around. I am a fan of the majority of the remakes of American
horror films, but I feel that Evil Dead
is by far the best of the bunch.
