Psycho is given a great deal of credit for redefining the direction American horror would take in the 1960s, and rightly so, but another film also deserves recognition for its innovations and influence. Like Psycho, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? signaled a shift from aliens, giant bugs, and atomic monsters to the more subtle

With 4th of July Weekend behind us, we’re now deep in the heart of summer, with big screen releases including Jordan Peele’s Nope and A24’s Bodies Bodies Bodies to look forward to. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. It’s the first full week of July 2022, and six brand new horror movies

As you may have noticed in the various trailers and TV spots, Jordan Peele‘s Nope seems to be at least partially set in some kind of theme park, and the film’s official viral marketing website reveals that the park is titled Jupiter’s Claim, the faux park advertised on the website as being “the best darn

Scream Factory decided to unload this 4th of July with a trio of upcoming 4K UHD announcements, including the reveal of Fede Álvarez‘s 2013 remake of Evil Dead! John Carpenter’s The Fog will be getting a new 4K UHD release on September 13. And much like they’ve done with past Carpenter releases, Scream Factory are

It’s that time again; we’re halfway through another year. Already. The first half of 2022 was much lighter on theatrical releases than the heavily stacked back half. Even still, it held no shortage of fantastic horror releases. The genre has proven time and time again that it thrives in every format, and offerings have become

We’ve covered the fan-made Enhanced Edition of Silent Hill 2 several times in the past, with the last time being the developers were in the process of working on a new update. Well, that update is now live, complete with a lengthy video detailing just what the update holds for fans. For starters, Silent Hill

Known to horror fans for his role as Lloyd the bartender in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, we’ve learned the sad news this weekend that veteran actor Joe Turkel has passed away. Turkel was 94 years old, passing away at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California. In addition to his iconic role in The Shining,

About a year after The Blair Witch Project took the box office by storm in 1999, Random House started publishing a series of tie-in novels in conjunction with Artisan Entertainment. The first film’s production designer and the director of two related features, Ben Rock, was also consulted about geography and lore. And to help reinforce the

The first official “American Horror Story” spinoff, Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Stories” returns for Season 2 on July 21, and FX on Hulu has unleashed the teaser trailer this afternoon.

Amazon Studios recently greenlit “The Horror of Dolores Roach,” based on the hit Gimlet podcast, and today Deadline has updated on the project with more casting news. Marc Maron (GLOW), Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience), Judy Reyes (Succession, Better Things), and Jeffery Self (Search Party) have all signed on for recurring roles in the series. Justina Machado (The Purge: Anarchy) will star

Developer Simogo and publisher Annapurna Interactive have promised to deliver a “chilling tale” and a modern take on puzzle adventure games with Lorelei and The Laser Eyes, a bizarre non-linear title that’s heading to the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in 2023. The game was part of the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase reveal

The world is loud, and it is only getting louder. Escaping the noise outside can seem impossible, especially when living in an urban environment. But as anyone who frequents them knows, libraries are a haven from all the bustle. While they have evolved to be more like community centers, libraries still encourage guests to keep

Adult Swim‘s mini-series “Uzumaki,” based on the supernatural horror manga by legendary author Junji Ito, was announced way back in 2019, and alas, it has been delayed again. The reason for the delay, however, is a good one. An update shared to Twitter this afternoon explains, “Unfortunately, the premiere of the series must again be delayed.

Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” reboot series is back for a new season this summer, with “Are You Afraid of the Dark? Ghost Island” premiering on Saturday, July 30! The new season will be the third as part of the reboot series, which kicked off in 2019 and continued just last year with

Evil is good. That’s what we were all told in ads for Bullfrog Productions’ Dungeon Keeper. Unlike most video games at that time in 1997, this RTS bucked the trend of playing as the good guys, and had you indulge in your darker side as the boss of your own villainous lair looking to conquer

The Langoliers, a 1995 TV miniseries based on Stephen King’s 1988 novella, usually ranks somewhere among the most forgotten or worst of King adaptations. At best, television’s limitations and the ‘90s CGI date the miniseries, especially once the eponymous creatures start chomping up the scenery. Filmmaker Aristotelis Maragkos laboriously re-edits the miniseries using paper collage techniques and

The Disney Channel launched their musical-comedy Zombies film franchise back in 2018, with the first sequel arriving in 2020. This summer, Zombies 3 shambles onto Disney+.

It’s impossible to imagine the films of Dario Argento without the eerie, one-of-a-kind tunes that play over the stunning images, many of which were contributed by the Italian progressive rock band known as Goblin. The unmistakable sounds of Goblin can be heard in Dario Argento horror classics including Suspiria and Deep Red, along with Phenomena

Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) is back with The Black Phone, which is headed exclusively to theaters on June 24. The film’s official Dolby Cinema poster has been revealed tonight, and it comes courtesy of Creepy Duck Design! Much like Creepy Duck’s poster for this year’s Scream, this was originally fan-made poster art that has now

Over thirty years after leaving his native England to live and work in Hollywood, Alfred Hitchcock returned home. The result is arguably the best film of his late career and easily the most brutal in his entire canon, Frenzy. The film was a return to form, exploring many of the enduring themes of his work

Spooky narratives tend to be scarier when experienced alone, and that’s why I’ve always preferred single-player horror gaming. That being said, there’s no denying that multiplayer has taken over videogames over this past decade, captivating players with the unpredictable thrills of online cat-and-mouse matches. Now that horror juggernauts like the Friday the 13th franchise and

Sinister Succubus. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we did what might be our hardest pivot yet with last week’s episode on the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo. Now it’s time

Scrappy Scrote. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we thought it might be nice to swamp out the dark and dreary for the…colorful and cheerful? That’s right, we’re heading back

The first DLC update for Evil Dead: The Game is on the way this summer, with the Army of Darkness-based “Castle Kandar” map being added to the game in the coming months. The Army of Darkness map will be FREE to all players, and Tim Willits from Saber Interactive teased recently that “additional content” is also being

Freddy Krueger was everywhere in the late 80s. It only made sense that he’d get his own show. But unlike Friday the 13th: The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares would put its headlining star front-and-center. Introducing every episode and frequently participating in the plots, Freddy hosted a show that would explore the lives (and deaths) of the
