Welcome to Blood/Ink/Staples, a recurring column which will shine a spotlight on creepy comic books new and old.

A24 and director David Lowery‘s (A Ghost Story) The Green Knight is finally being released in theaters on July 30, 2021, and we’ve got a trio of new images for you today. “From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table,” A24 explained The Green Knight last year. “An epic fantasy adventure

A family moves into a new home with a gruesome past, which still lingers in many ways. That simple setup could apply to any number of horror movies set within a haunted house. Things Heard & Seen opts for a slightly altered approach that adds true crime and drama to the fold, with mixed results. Netflix’s latest

Welcome to Revenge of the Remakes, where columnist Matt Donato takes us on a journey through the world of horror remakes. We all complain about Hollywood’s lack of originality whenever studios announce new remakes, reboots, and reimaginings, but the reality? Far more positive examples of refurbished classics and updated legacies exist than you’re willing to

Fresh off the box office success of Godzilla vs. Kong, THR is reporting that Adam Wingard (V/H/S, You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch) is re-teaming with Warner Bros. and Legendary for their next MonsterVerse movie, which is big news because we had previously been unsure if the MonsterVerse would even be continuing beyond this year’s

Once again, the curse of Resident Evil online has reared its ugly head. Those in the Resident Evil Ambassador Program have begun receiving emails stating that Resident Evil Re:Verse is being delayed from its launch next month. Originally, the online companion multiplayer game was supposed to ship with Resident Evil Village. That is no longer

The film has been bumped all over the release calendar ever since it was announced, and tonight Adam Robitel‘s Escape Room 2 once again has a brand new release date.

Written and directed by Jonathan Cuartas, the festival horror-drama My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To has been acquired by Dark Sky Films, and we’ve learned today that they’ll be releasing it in limited theaters and on VOD/Digital this summer, on June 25. “As an official selection of the previously cancelled 2020 Tribeca

Billed as a “one-book library on horror films,” writer Michael Mallory‘s Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror was originally released in 2009, and a new edition is on the way. Back from the dead, the Revised and Updated Edition of the book celebrates some pretty big anniversaries, including the 90th anniversaries of both Dracula

The box office is officially back, thanks to Warner Bros., and what we’ve learned is that we have a very abstract view behind a film’s release. While Godzilla vs. Kong is a global box office hit, what truly made the difference is the deal between Warners and HBO Max, who reportedly paid in the $200M-$250M

While it’s safe to say that Capcom probably will never top their TV ad for the original Resident Evil 2, they can try with an entirely different route with Resident Evil Village. The latest Japanese ad for the upcoming title certainly has them going in an entirely “out there” direction (at least for Western audiences).

While you’re waiting for your copy of Alien: Isolation to finish downloading (you know it’s available for free until April 29th, right?), GVMERS has a treat for you in a look back at the origins of the game.

The infamous Grady Twins from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining have been turned into various different collectibles in recent years, including Monster High dolls and Funko toys, and up next they’re getting a much more lifelike collectible from Medicom. In fact, this Grady Twins statue is so lifelike that it’s actually quite creepy, and it’s also

Filmmaker Steve Merlo hopes to recapture the gritty feel of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with upcoming fan film The Sawyer Massacre, a feature length project. Merlo explains, “The Sawyer Massacre is a feature length fan film and unofficial prequel to the iconic horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We have already raised

A brand new wave of cartoon-inspired “Toony Terrors” toys is on the way from NECA, and the company previews the series today while noting it might be their “best assortment yet.” In addition to Captain Blake from John Carpenter’s The Fog, previewed earlier this week, the Series 6 wave includes Elvira, Herbert West and My

DC Comics is going all-in on the horror genre with new imprint DC Horror, and we’ve learned that the label will launch with a limited series set in the universe of The Conjuring! The five-issue The Conjuring: The Lover will launch on June 4. It’s being billed as a “prelude” to the franchise’s third installment,

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. Details were light on what the port entailed, but The Verge was able to snag the highlights from yesterday’s Oculus Gaming Showcase that dove

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. This pact begins next year, which kicks off with Sony’s release of the Jared Leto-starring Marvel vampire movie Morbius, currently dated for January 21, 2022. The partnership

Announced last month, Emma Roberts is executive producing a young adult vampire series for Netflix that’s titled “First Kill,” and today brings word that a director has been found.

The title will be arriving August 3 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. The announcement coincides with a new trailer for the

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. In the wake of Jaws, Frankenstein, and “The Walking Dead” ornaments in recent years, we’re getting “Stranger Things,” Mortal Kombat, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife ornaments this year, and we’ve got your

For years, the bug-eyed, giant animatronic characters of Five Nights at Freddy’s (also known by the acronym, FNAF) have been terrorizing children and adults alike. Since debuting in 2014, the series’ unique first-person perspective survival-horror experience has spawned a myriad of sequels and spin-offs, significantly influencing the horror genre in both gaming, and even in

With Honeydew now on all VOD platforms, the next Bloody Disgusting x Dark Star Pictures collaboration is going full-blown weird and is guaranteed to deliver gross-out mayhem when Dementia Part II arrives in theaters on May 21, 2021, and on VOD, Digital HD and DVD on June 1st. Taken from the pages of Sam Raimi,

This past February finally saw the release of A24 and director Rose Glass‘s religious-horror character piece Saint Maud, but the bummer is that the film was only made available through the EPIX streaming service. In fact, that’s still the only place you can watch the movie at the moment, but that’s going to change when
