Talien's website is really good. I would recommend checking it out.
His book Blood and Blades: A Profiler's Guide to Slashers that he did for RPGObjects is also really good. It contains many movie slashers done with the serial numbers filed off. Among the familiar concepts that you will find covered are Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Pumpkinhead, Sil (from Species), the Tall Man with flying spiked metallic orbs(Phantasm) and, I think, Jeepers Creepers (there are more, but I don't recall which). I only wish there was an appendix or sidebars that used the Psychic's Handbook (Green Ronin) mechanics instead of the standard d20M mental fx rules and Elements of Magic: Mythic Earth for magic fx (I really dislike the default d20M fx rules).
Unfortuantely, I can't comment on Blood and Spooks or Blood and Brains as I have not seen

I write a column that's full of free d20 goodness, a lot of it skewed for d20 Modern because that's what I play these days: RPG Examiner
I'm also the author of four d20 modern "action horror" accessories for D20 Modern, published by RPG Objects: one on zombies, one on ghosts, one on movie slashers, and one about aliens.
