First-person Yokai-heavy horror game Ikai certainly likes to keep you busy from the off, but is it too much busywork? It certainly distracted me from a strong setup. Set in feudal Japan, Ikai concerns a young priestess named Naoko. She’s heard whispers of ancient evil creeping through the forests where she lives, but has dismissed

In case you thought we had exhausted ourselves on all things Scream after spending four hours(!!!) discussing Scream 4 last week, think again! In a special Horror Queers bonus episode, Joe and I have Scream scribe Kevin Williamson on the line in celebration of the new film, which hits theaters today! The Scream franchise, while beloved, is not

HBO‘s “The Last of Us” television series is currently filming, with Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) starring in the series as Joel and Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) as Ellie. Additionally, Deadline reports this afternoon that Storm Reid (Euphoria, A Wrinkle in Time) has been cast in the role of Riley, a character fans of the game should be familiar with. Deadline

The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer. My personal favorites when it comes to this type of mayhem are that of Puppet Combo’s games; in gems like Babysitter Bloodbath and Murder House, you must run for your life as a mad killer tries to hunt

Techland has dropped the final “Dying 2 Know” episode leading up to the release of Dying Light 2: Stay Human next month. This episode is particularly juicy, as the team has not only unveiled a new gameplay video, but also details regarding the title’s 4-player co-op! Jonah Scott, the voice of Dying Light 2 protagonist

Remember the “Dark Universe“? It was only a handful of years back that Universal had decided to reboot their iconic monster properties with big budgets and big name actors including Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Javier Bardem, but those plans of course came crashing down with the box office underperformance of the new universe’s starter

Directed by Patricia Harris Seeley, written by Cameron Larson (story) and Jose Prendes (screenplay), The Legend of La Llorona follows a family vacationing to Mexico in an effort to escape the grief that has fallen over them.

Although R. L. Stine is best known for scaring younger audiences, namely with series like Fear Street and Goosebumps, the prolific children’s author has dabbled in adult stories from time to time. Sprinkled throughout his extensive oeuvre are the occasional grown-up tales of terror; four to be exact. In Stine’s third novel aimed at older

History tends to repeat itself. We’re meant to look to the past and learn from its mistakes. That holds true in life and in horror. Wes Craven‘s seminal 1996 slasher dissected the patterns of the genre with a self-referential wink while going for the jugular, but horror has evolved tremendously since. Some rules hold firm,

We’re now just a few short days away from the release of Scream, which feels like the most hotly anticipated horror movie since Halloween back in 2018. And it’s not even the only big horror franchise return on the way here in 2022, but let’s focus on the here and now! Our review of the

A planned remake of The Raid from director Joe Carnahan has recently morphed into a different project entirely, but another new take on the Indonesian fight film has now sprung up.

While we haven’t quite gotten to the point of kicking ass FOR THE LORD quite yet in video games, CeleritasGames’ upcoming co-op Survival Horror game Holy Purge is a step in the right direction. Set for release soon on Steam, the game has you and two friends uniting your holy powers as priests to purge

Yeah, we know it sucks that for whatever reason, Capcom still hasn’t budged (as far as we know) on revisiting the Dino Crisis series. With games like Deathground and Instinction on the way, at least fans have spiritual successors to look forward to. But what if Capcom did decide to given Regina and company a

The long-awaited sequel to a Halloween favorite, Hocus Pocus 2 is on the way for the Disney+ streaming service, currently set to arrive sometime during the Halloween ’22 season.

Fake smiles all around… “The Boys” are back in town this June, with Amazon releasing a video announcement that the third season of their ultra-violent superhero series is headed to Prime on June 3, 2022!

Writing my top records for 2021 proved to be a challenge considering all the good music that came out last year – and 2022 already looks to be just as exciting. Across death metal, doom, ambient, avant-garde, nu metal, and even more, there’s a lot to be on the lookout for. An important note that

In addition to the upcoming Orphan: First Kill prequel movie, Orphan star Isabelle Fuhrman also appears in the period horror movie The Last Thing Mary Saw, set in the year 1843.

Venom’s origin story was extremely different in the comics, likely because Spider-Man currently exists within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The alien symbiote was first introduced in Marvel Comics’ “Secret Wars” #8 in which the extraterrestrial being bonded itself with Peter Parker, offering him an extremely cool all-black costume. This would carry over into an “Amazing

Horror titan James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant) is on board as executive producer for a supernatural horror series titled “Archive 81” for Netflix, inspired by the found footage podcast of the same name.

Now available for at home rental, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is next making its way onto physical media, shambling to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray in just about one month.

While we wait for the trailer, which is surely coming along very, very soon, what do we know about Jordan Peele‘s next horror movie thus far? Let’s do a little bit of recapping, shall we? Coming along in the wake of the game-changing Get Out and the equally impressive (in this writer’s personal opinion) but

Keanu Reeves is set to star in the long-gestured but hotly-anticipated “The Devil in the White City”, a big-budget take on Erik Larson’s 2003 book that tells the tale of America’s very first serial killer, H. H. Holmes. It’s unclear if Reeves will be starring as the monstrous murderer or the architect behind Holmes’ nightmarish

Watching a bad movie doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad experience. Even the worst films can boast a good idea or two, and that’s why we’re trying to look on the bright side with The Silver Lining, where we shine a light on the best parts of traditionally maligned horror flicks. This time, we’ll

Seeming like a repeat of last year, the video games industry was at the mercy of the global pandemic for a lot of its releases this year. While it’s true that the industry had to adjust to working remotely, that didn’t mean that we didn’t have the hits like Resident Evil Village and The Medium

Horror games thrive on being able to surprise the player. AAA horror games occasionally believe they need to artificially extend their length in order to justify their price tag, which can lead to a more repetitive experience. By the end of the game, you’ve been doing the same thing long enough that you are no

How’s this for a free game (or games, for that matter)? Seeing as this year was the 25th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series, Epic has decided to grant not one but three free Tomb Raider games for to cap off their free games blitz. What are those games, you might ask? That would be
