Vampires have been lurking in the shadows of our scary stories for thousands of years, finding their way into several different cultures and eventually turning into movie stars. With so many variations of these legends, it’s only natural that some of the specifics behind this classic monster often seem silly when judged by modern standards.

Originally released on Blu-ray back in 2015, the 1982 horror movie Trick or Treats is being repressed to Blu-ray for this year’s Halloween season, via Code Red and Kino Lorber.

A highly skilled assassin punching and slicing their way through an endless horde of opponents out of revenge reads like several contemporary action-thrillers, especially in the wake of John Wick’s popularity. Kate marks the latest, borrowing from a few prominent action-thrillers to create an easily digestible blend of violence, action, and humor by way of a silly plot that

Be Not Afraid. Netflix and Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor”) are joining forces once again for another horror series, this one titled “Midnight Mass.” “Midnight Mass,” directed by Flanagan, will be available to Netflix members on September 24, 2021.

Can you feel it? Halloween is in the air, and October is going to be packed with horror offerings. So, consider September the calm before the Halloween storm.

Called a “nihilistic morality thriller” by Meagan Navarro out of the Sundance Film Festival World Premiere, Coming Home in the Dark is now making its way home ahead of Halloween.

With a serious lack of promotion up to this point, it’s been easy to forget that a new take The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on the way, with the Fede Alvarez-produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre set to be a sequel to Tobe Hooper’s original classic. We’ve been promised “Old Man Leatherface” and the return of Sally Hardesty, two teases that

Sony’s Johannes Roberts-directed film reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will be releasing on November 24, with the new movie promising to return us to the “terrifying roots” of the original video games, particularly Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2.

Variety reports Friday evening that “actor, disability-inclusion advocate and double hand amputee” John W. Lawson (“American Horror Story”) has been cast as “Stanny” in Paramount Players’ untitled Pet Sematary prequel. “I have myoelectric hands… or what people commonly call ‘cyborg,’” Lawson jokes to the site. “But most of the time, it’s just my hooks.” Variety

SpookWare, a horror riff on WarioWare was one of my favorite horror game experiences when it was released last year, and now, creator Adam Pype (who also made the creepy No Players Online) and his team has built on that brief slice and made a fully-fledged road trip adventure game stacked with more mini-game madness.

While plenty of indie developers have captured the essence of survival horror as it was on the original PlayStation, far fewer have managed to do so with the PlayStation 2 era of the sub-genre. This was arguably the peak of it at the time. Those few precious years, before the impact of Resident Evil 4

One of the year’s most anticipated horror releases is finally arriving this Friday, August 27, in theaters. Nia DaCosta‘s Candyman, co-written by Jordan Peele, returns to Cabrini-Green and resurrects the urban legend in a wholly new way, acting as a spiritual sequel to Bernard Rose’s beloved 1992 film. The marketing curiously teases a Candyman “hive,” but what about the

That’s not to say that there aren’t stretch goals to be met, which there are still plenty available (along with backer perks). In addition,

Everything about the premise of writer/director Rob Jabbaz’s feature debut reads like another formulaic zombie or outbreak horror that’s become overly familiar in the wake of our real-time pandemic. It quickly becomes apparent that The Sadness refuses to adhere to the average viral horror movie. Jabbaz keeps a death grip on the pulse of the

Making the festival rounds (Sitges, Fantasia, Popcorn Frights) is Seth A. Smith‘s (The Crescent) sci-fi thriller, Tin Can, which stars V/H/S/94‘s Anna Hopkins as a front-lines parasitologist who is imprisoned in a life-suspension chamber as the world faces a deadly plague.
