October is the best time for us horror freaks. You would think Netflix would roll out tons of horror movies for the Halloween season. No. Netflix is only releasing nine new horror films this October. There are a couple of good ones in the bunch. I am kind of interested in Season 2 of Haunted.

The wait is finally over for those Xbox One owners waiting for Crytek’s co-op multiplayer title Hunt: Showdown to come out of Early Access. Hunt: Shodown is not only out of Early Access, but you can also grab the latest DLC, Legends of the Bayou, for both Steam and PC. Legends of the Bayou gives

Late November of 2014, a YouTube video titled “Wrinkles the Clown Caught on CCTV” by user HvUseen Wrinkles went viral, and put South Florida parents on high alert.

“It was one of the most creatively satisfying experiences of my life.” Five years ago, Kevin Smith ventured into the body-horror genre with Tusk, a wacky (and kinda wonderful) film wherein the late Michael Parks turns Justin Long into…well, a walrus. Love it or hate it, Tusk was the film that reignited Smith’s passion for

While Ari Aster‘s extended Director’s Cut of Midsommar was recently released in select theaters, the bummer is that it’s not actually scheduled to receive a psychical release here in the States.

Show of hands – who believes Silence of the Lambs is a horror film? Okay, keep ‘em up if you think the same about Seven. Alright then, how about George Sluizer’s The Vanishing (either version)? Think that’s a horror film? Sure, all three films are decidedly thrillers. But given the nature of their villains and

If there’s one thing we’ve all learned about horror movie villains it’s that they can never truly die, but there was still something about the finale to Rob Zombie‘s The Devil’s Rejects that felt quite different from the norm. Just a couple years after he created a trio of iconic characters with Otis, Baby and

So, remember that fan remake of Dino Crisis? The one that showed off a couple of the environments, but no dinos? Team Arklay have finally released gameplay footage of their efforts that remedies that. The results are admittedly a little rough, and the T-Rex roar is shamelessly lifted from Jurassic Park (hey, why not?), but

The next movie being directed by Guillermo del Toro will be Nightmare Alley, an adaptation of the novel by William Lindsay Gresham. Published in 1946, the novel spawned its first feature film just one year later starring Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell, and this new take on the material for Fox Searchlight has been written by del Toro

With horror industry heavy hitters already in place from the 1970s, the 1980s built upon that with the rise of brilliant minds in makeup and effects artists, as well as advances in technology.

‘Wealth is finite’ seems to be a trend at TIFF this year, with movies like Parasite and even Knives Out having characters that, in order to achieve financial security, see themselves forced to take someone down from the metaphorical socioeconomic ladder.

Horror and science fiction have always been a part of the television canvas, and constant attempts have been made over the years to produce classic entertainment.

When you think of the great Universal horror icons, who springs to mind? Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Wolf Man, to be sure.

The release of Home Sweet Home: Episode 2 is now on the horizon and based on what we’ve seen so far, that’s a prospect worth getting excited about. It’s obvious that a lot of love and care has been poured into this one and that the developers. YGGdrazil, are sincere about their desire to improve
