Bradley Cooper, Toni Collette, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were recently set to star in Guillermo del Toro‘s Nightmare Alley, an adaptation of the novel by William Lindsay Gresham, and we’ve learned tonight that Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse) has also joined the cast. Variety reports that Dafoe “will play the head barker at a traveling carnival who gives Bradley

It’s a Danish film by the name of Harpiks. The English translation is Resin. Sadly, it was shown on a late Monday night at this year’s Screamfest (where it held its US Premiere), so the audience was tiny… and this film deserves a much wider audience. Right off the bat, with zero hesitation, I can
If you grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, then you probably recall how much fast food giant McDonald’s got into the Halloween spirit. Remember the Halloween McNugget buddies, decked out in costumes? Who could forget the Halloween buckets and pails for trick or treating? Even the McDonaldland pals, like Grimace and Hamburglar, got into
We open with a picturesque scene: a family picnicking on a beautiful day. A towheaded boy walks toward his parents, smiling in the sunshine, when he suddenly falls to the ground, his skin flushing crimson. “It burns! It burns!” Eli (Charlie Shotwell) wakes in his bed. He suffers from an autoimmune disease that essentially means
The Soska Sister’s new film Rabid is about to hit theaters, on-demand, and digital this year. In celebration for the release, a new trailer has just been released. [embedded content] The film is based on a remake of David Croneberg’s Rabid. The movie was directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska based on a script that
Another Monday, another horror comedy to help lift your spirits. This 2012 release makes for a perfect antidote to a grueling workday. An easy, breezy plot combined with a whole heaping helping of gore serves up yet another reminder why we love the genre so much; pure cathartic entertainment. As far as horror comedies go,
A new developer diary has appeared for Capcom’s Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter: World, detailing the recent updates for the game. The panel for the video includes executive/art director Kaname Fujioka and director Ichihara Daisuke, and includes topics such as the recent addition of Rajang, Layered Armor, a new volcanic region for the Guiding Lands,
The horror community was devasted last month when we lost Sid Haig, an amazing horror icon. Many horror fans believed that Sid’s brief appearance in Rob Zombie’s 3 From Hell was his last appearance on film, but that is not true. Sid Haig’s official Instagram, which is run by his wife Suzie Haig, released a
The sad story of the Dead Space franchise still lingers, but for brief moments, you can see just how big the franchise was (and could have been). A recent post by a Twitter user about such a topic caught the eye of former Level Designer at Visceral Games Ben Johnson. Visceral, if you didn’t know,
Mike Doody, the one with the big grey beard, would have turned 57 today. When my big brother Mike saw John Carpenter’s Halloween for the first time in 1978, what occurred at that theater was legendary. It would be retold for years. As the tale goes, the moment when Myers burst from the kitchen cupboard,
Principal photography is underway for the follow-on to last year’s hugely successful Halloween (itself a direct sequel to the original 1978 movie). Titled, Halloween Kills, fans will be happy to learn that it will star the matriarch of scream queens, Jamie Lee Curtis, continuing to reprise her role as Laurie Strode. Nick Castle will also
It’s Saturday! Gather up the family or loved ones, prepare the Monster cereals or favorite movie snacks, and hit play on today’s Family Fun pick.

The newest trailer for Adam Egypt Mortimer‘s (Some Kind of Hate, Holidays) Daniel Isn’t Real (review of the film) is here and it goes full-on Jacob’s Ladder with its imagery and mindfuckery. In Daniel Isn’t Real, troubled college freshman Luke (Miles Robbins) suffers a violent family trauma and resurrects his childhood imaginary friend Daniel (Patrick Schwarzenegger) to help him
Here we go again… Another attempt at remaking one of the scariest movies of all time. Takashi Shimizu’s Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) set new standards for tension and creepiness. The American remake, ironically by the same director, set new standards for incoherence and box office letdown. But… It’s been some time and horror fans would
Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? ‘90s horror anthology series raised a generation of young horror fans with its teen-centric spooky stories and characters. Each episode, the Midnight Society – a group of scary story loving teens – gathered around a campfire in the woods to submit tales of terror for the approval of
Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) and John Hyams (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) have been developing a new take on William Lustig’s Maniac Cop for a while now, and we’ve learned tonight via Deadline that the project has now taken the form of an event television series. The coolest news? It’s HBO that has given the series
Located three and a half hours north of Las Vegas, Nevada in the town of Tonopah is a clown-themed motel that has been labeled one of America’s Scariest Motels. The Clown Motel is a roadside motel that is located next to the Old Tonopah Cemetery, which could explain the rumors that the hotel is haunted.
Many actors have played the character of Dracula over the years but it feels pretty safe to say that no actor will ever be more synonymous with the horror icon than Bela Lugosi. The late actor, who of course played the blood-sucker in 1931’s Dracula, will (kinda-sorta) be reprising the role next year for a
You’ll be able to bring home some of your favorite characters from the hit British science fiction sci-fi anthology “Black Mirror” with Funko‘s new POP! vinyl toys, unveiled tonight.

Both films will be produced
Of all the leading Italian horror filmmakers, including auteurs like Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento is the most recognized and widely renowned. Known as the Master of Thrill and a Master of Horror, Argento made his directorial debut in 1970 and has since developed a reputation for graphic shocks and intense visual atmospheres.
No matter how much I love horror games, so many of them can suffer from the same issue: repetition diminishes tension. The first time I go through a sequence, it’s fraught with tension as I run for horrific monsters that surprise me from the shadows. But if I die at the final monster in a
When people hear the words serial killer, we think of Ted Bundy, BTK, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Kemper, John Wayne Gacy, and Ed Gein. Now there is a new name on that list. Samuel Little. Samuel Little, 79, has confessed to ninety-three murders. Local, state, and federal law enforcement officials have verified 50 of the confessions.

Let’s face it: Mondays tend to suck. For most, it’s the start of a brand new work week. So, you’re probably in need of a laugh or two at the end of the work day. That’s why all Mondays in October are dedicated to the horror-comedy. It’s the best of both worlds. Back in 2015,
Roger Avary, the co-writer of Pulp Fiction, writer of 2006’s Silent Hill and director of Killing Zoe, is back this month with Lucky Day, which has just unleashed its Red Band trailer.

Based on the Hit Film is a series of articles looking at the video game spin-offs and adaptations of popular horror and movies. It’s fair to say Ghostbusters is still one of the most accessible horror films of all time. It’s not only given us a treasured classic movie, but it also brought us Bill
