New Look at Dollar Bin Horror!

All day today, I've been working on a complete overhaul of the blog. I wanted it to have a more professional look while keeping the horror feel that we all love so much. And not only did the layout of the blog change, but so did our logo!

Dollar Bin Horror Spotlight - Interview with Author Cinsearae S.



Cinsearae S. is the creator of the dark paranormal/horror series, ABRAXAS. A digital artist, jewelry designer, and still-photographer, she is also Editor/Publisher of Dark Gothic Resurrected Magazine - a top ten finalist in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll for 2008 and 2009 and winner for “Best Magazine Art. She also received the Author's Site of Excellence Award in December 2007 from P & E, and is a Cover Artist for Damnation Books. An avid fan of 'old school' horror movies (Freddy, Jason, Michael, Pinhead…) Halloween is her favorite time of the year. She has always been drawn to the flipside of life - the supernatural, odd, bizarre, Gothic and 'darkly beautiful' always being an inspiration to her. She sat down with me to talk about all of her ongoing projects.

Piranha 3D - Splurge of the Week

By: Brandon Sites of www.bigdaddyhorrorreviews.com

Let's not beat around the bush. Going into Piranha 3D one doesn't expect social commentary on what drives Spring Breakers to do the crazy things they do, deep meaningful messages on the human condition, or a biting examination on the politics of being in the police force. What one expects is gore, nudity, a fast pace, some occasional bits of comedy, and a bunch of killer piranha eating people to death. With that in mind, Piranha 3D delivers on all accounts as it tells the story of a sudden underwater tremor, at Lake Victoria, that sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating piranha who eat up anything in their way including thousands of college kids partying on the lake for Spring Break. Also, in the meantime sheriff Elizabeth Shue must rescue her family who is stuck on a sinking ship.

Dollar Bin Horror Spotlight - Tales of Woe by John Reed (Book Review)


True stories of totally undeserved suffering. Spectacularly depressing. Nobody gets their just deserts. Crushing defeats. No happy endings. Abject misery. Pointless, endless grief. No lessons of temperance or moderation. No saving grace. No divine intervention. No salvation.

Dollar Bin Horror Spotlight - October Toys


October Toys is a toy company with a touch of a dark side. Not only do they make high quality toys, they give artists from around the country the chance to design some of them into beautiful, disturbing, and amazing works of art. Their "Gwins" and "Z.O.M.B.I.E." lines of toys are some of the coolest collectible toys I've seen in a good while and their reasonably priced for those of use that may be fund-ally challenged, I had the chance to sit down with the creators of October Toys, Ayleen and George Gaspar to talk about how they got started and what's coming up for them.
