Hear me out: Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead is a lowkey thriller. Okay, okay, it’s probably more like a black comedy in line with Heathers or its spiritual sequel series, Dead to Me ─ so let me explain. Following its summer ‘91 theatrical run, and once it hit TV syndication and VHS rental, my

Ahead of the show’s final season premiering this coming August, we’ve learned that “The Walking Dead: The Complete Tenth Season” is first getting its Blu-ray release this summer.

Licensed games used to get a lot of flack for their shoddy production value and rushed development cycles, but that doesn’t mean they were all bad. Sometimes, passionate developers and the clever use of beloved IPs can be enough to overcome limited budgets and impossible deadlines, resulting in quite a few hidden gems even in

Predatory Pussy. May has been all over the place for Horror Queers.

I cannot tally the number of reviews I’ve come across where a movie has been attacked for having a serious moment followed by a

Once again, fans are coming to the rescue for the Fallout series, as modding group The United West Team have revealed that they’re currently working on “Revelation Blue”, a remake of the cancelled Fallout 2 sequel, Van Buren. For those unaware, former Fallout series developer Black Isle Studios way back when was working on a

A lot of horror fans assume that the “Slasher Flick” was killed off in the 90s, with the most likely culprit being Wes Craven’s loving satire, Scream. While it’s true that the many incarnations of Ghostface helped to expose the subgenre’s overused tropes and weaknesses, slasher movies never really died; they just became less mainstream

Technically part of the Conjuring Universe, 2019’s folklore-based The Curse of La Llorona paved the way for director Michael Chaves to take the reigns from James Wan for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and now La Llorona is joining the Funko family. Announced tonight as part of Funko’s ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two

“I don’t care about the box office. I care about the connection. I want it to be a phenomenon – a cultural phenomenon, where the audience feels some connection to this place, these people, and what was being said here. That’s Jaws, E.T, The Exorcist.

English poet William Cowper coined the saying “variety’s the very spice of life” in the late 1700s. Knowing who he is isn’t as important as understanding what was correct in his time is still valid in ours. Especially when it comes to horror.
