Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger have a lot in common: they are both pretty ugly, they are both pretty angry, they are both pretty scary, and they are both modern day mega horror icons.

Horror takes its most talented directors and turns to television, giving the genre a much needed boost thanks to this superb series. Europe Region 2 DVD finally gets Part One. Mean Creek, Mean Lives
A friend told me that if I wanted to see a good horror movie, to watch Mean Creek. A few days ago I did just that. I will admit that it's a good show, not outstanding, but worth watching.
