George A. Romero took on American consumerism with his masterpiece Dawn of the Dead and now filmmaker Casey Tebo looks to put a modern spin on it with Black Friday, which kicks off the holiday season by spreading some Christmas fear. Bloody Disgusting scored an exclusive clip, which highlights horror favorites Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead films) and Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Syfy’s “Chucky”)

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States. Fears may not be universal, but one thing is for sure — a scream is understood, always and everywhere. A black cloud hangs over the family at the center of the

Spontaneous Comburst. We’re only a few weeks into November, but we’re not letting the post-Halloween doldrums get us down. After celebrating our 150th (!!!) episode last week with The Lost Boys, we’re dedicating this week to a whole different anniversary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s amazing musical episode, “Once More, With Feeling,” which turned 20 last week.

Is Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? It’s a question that inevitably gets asked on social media every year, and the reason there’s even a debate at all is because, well, it’s of course both! The beauty of the stop-motion animated classic is

Techland has devoted multiple episodes of its “Dying 2 Know” series to Olivier Derivière’s score for the upcoming Dying Light 2, and now you can finally pre-order the score for yourself.

Ahead of the January 11, 2022 release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD (plus a Best Buy Steelbook!), David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills will be released Digitally on December 13, 2021, with an “Extended Cut” of the movie being previewed by Amazon.

The noise that 200 Stab Wounds have been making is far from subtle. The Cleveland, Ohio death metal outfit are relatively new to the scene – having formed in 2020 – but have been rattling the underground. Their impressive EP Piles of Festering Decomposition bursts with ferocious sounding riffs and pummeling presentation. Compared to other

“The plane crashed… a bunch of our friends died… and then the rest of us starved and scavenged.” So began the official teaser for Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” a survival drama that features a pilot episode directed by Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, The Invitation). The series was created by Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson (“Narcos”), described as being “equal parts survival epic, psychological

In my defense, I thought it might be helpful, a kind of catharsis. First of all, I must say that my wife is the purest soul I’ve ever met, unendingly compassionate and completely selfless. Honestly, I have no idea how she puts up with me, but I am grateful for it every day. She’s never

If you’ve seen The Hateful Eight, you’ve probably gathered that Quentin Tarantino is a big fan of John Carpenter‘s The Thing, even going so far as to utilize unused cues from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for The Thing in his own snowy suspense tale. As it turns out, Reservoir Dogs was also inspired by The Thing,

Filmmakers employ a variety of tactics to frighten audiences. The jump scare is the most obvious, thanks to its jarring abruptness and accompanying loud music sting. Its complete opposite is the understated, subtle background scare. This type of scare can easily go unnoticed, making it even more potent for those who spot it.  The background

The Prop Store is holding a three-day entertainment memorabilia auction this week, and the results from the auction’s first day have been sent over to Bloody Disgusting this afternoon. Prop Store’s unique Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction is being held across three days, Tuesday 9th – Thursday 11th November 2021, at their UK headquarters in Hertfordshire.

After creating various masks for former WWE superstar Bray “The Fiend” Wyatt, we’ve learned today that makeup effects artist Jason Baker is now making a movie with Wyatt. Baker, who owns Callosum Studios and frequently creates magic for the world of professional wrestling with partner Tom Savini, will be directing Wyatt in the upcoming movie.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin isn’t a complete movie. With the smoke cleared—literally—and the cops on the scene at this little farm in the middle of Amish country, a character we recognize emerges from the devastation, kills the officers using demon power, steals their car, and heads toward civilization to wreak demonic havoc. One of

The Sex Scene Can Stay. After heading back to Haddonfield to discuss David Gordon Green’s 2018 sequel Halloween, we discussed everyone’s favorite vampire-killing Marvel superhero Blade before spending Halloween shacking up with the colorful characters in Clue. Now we’re kicking off November with our 150th episode and a discussion of a seminal queer vampire text in Joel

This week’s episode of “Chucky” is a big one, as Tuesday night’s “Little Little Lies” on USA and SYFY will bring Tiffany Valentine (Jennifer Tilly) and Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) into the mix. Yes, the world of the movies is soon set to collide with the new storyline of the television series, with Andy Barclay

Haunted houses tend to adhere to a familiar formula. Characters get terrorized by paranormal activity within their home or current dwelling, and fleeing rarely is as easy as it sounds. The haunting is usually caused by an unspeakable tragedy that occurred years ago or an inciting event that disturbs the dead, prompting them to unleash

On November 6, 1983, Will Byers went missing in Hawkins, Indiana. The fourth season of Netflix‘s “Stranger Things” is finally on the way soon, and we were recently promised that “Stranger Things 4” is coming sometime in 2022. Perhaps we’ll learn more during “Stranger Things Day” tomorrow, a celebration from Netflix that has been detailed with an

With their Bag of Bones mailbag episodes, The Losers’ Club gathers at the Mellow Tiger, aka Zoom, to answer questions submitted from their fellow patrons. This month’s Bag was opened in late October, a spooky time when the pumpkins were still waiting to be carved. Joining Losers Michael Roffman, Jenn Adams, and Dan Pfleegor at

At the time of writing this article I am 200 pages into writer Tim Waggoner‘s Halloween Kills, the official novelization of David Gordon Green’s sequel. As Waggoner recently explained in an interview with our own Jason Jenkins, “I was able to write it pretty much from the script,” which is usually how these sorts of

On the way from RLJE Films, the second season of Shudder‘s horror anthology series “Creepshow” is coming to DVD and Blu-ray, with the release date set for December 7, 2021.

The thirty-five years that have passed since its premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival in October of 1986 have done nothing to diminish the impact of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It is a film about reality—truths that are in some ways distant, but in others deeply relatable. It is about chaos and

Much like Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero‘s 1977 horror movie Martin, centered on a man who believes he’s a vampire, is currently being restored by the UK’s Second Sight Films, with a physical 4K Ultra HD release on the way. As we learned just last week, the 4K restoration is “nearing completion,” and we’re expecting a release

Film criticism has never been an exact science, and movie critics themselves are still fallible human beings. That’s why it’s no surprise that some horror movies only find a welcoming audience years after being dismissed during their initial release. While the rise of the internet means that it’s now much easier to recommend underrated flicks

In professional wrestling, the concept of “Kayfabe” refers to an unspoken agreement between fans and performers to never acknowledge the fictional aspects of the sport. In the horror genre, we have something similar with the way Found Footage movies invite audiences to play along with the scares to enhance their viewing experience. And when it
