Tackling a new adaptation of a beloved video game franchise still going strong since 1992 sounds like a Herculean task. With a little over twenty games across platforms, nearly one hundred characters, decades of mythology, and a cherished 1995 feature adaptation, the intersection to appease both longtime fans and brand new gets blurred quickly. Mortal

Ahead of the film’s release in theaters and on HBO Max tomorrow (look for our review *tonight*!), a gory new clip from Mortal Kombat has been shared by The Game Awards tonight. Unlike the 1995 movie, this year’s Mortal Kombat is very much rated “R,” and jam-packed with brutal Fatalities. Warner Bros. invites you to

The announcement last week that Capcom was bringing us yet another Resident Evil 4 port was a surprise, and an even bigger one that it was for the Oculus Quest 2.

A big time deal was inked by Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment earlier this month, which will give Netflix exclusive streaming rights to Sony titles *after* theatrical and home entertainment releases.

A few years back, “Zombie Skittles” hit store shelves for Halloween, with candies tasting like “rotten zombie” randomly mixed into each bag. In other words, you didn’t know if you were about to taste the rainbow or, well, human flesh… until it was too late. A similar gimmick is being put to use this coming

Hallmark‘s Keepsake Ornaments have gotten a whole lot cooler in recent years than they used to be, with horror properties often brought into the mix.

Those Fallout 4 modders are at it again. Well actually, they may be closet Fallout 4 fans, but are really Resident Evil Village fans at heart.

So, remember last year how someone leaked footage of a standalone multiplayer mode for The Last of Us Part II, not to mention that we were all expecting some sort of DLC for Naughty Dog’s hit sequel?

The movie isn’t actually releasing until November 11 but it looks like Summer 2021 is going to be the Summer of Ghostbusters anyway, with all kinds of toys and tie-in products on the way.

It started with a list of six themes which was cut down to four and then two. And now Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” poll is in its final stage with, well, a recount! Once again, we still don’t entirely understand the purpose of these polls, but it seems Murphy and the “AHS” team are

The world can be a scary place. Sure, that’s a cliched and obvious observation, especially for a horror site, but it still bears repeating every now and then.
