Knives Out was a massive hit for Lionsgate back in 2019, pulling in over $300 million worldwide at the box office, so it was only natural that a sequel wouldn’t be too far behind. In fact, it was announced some time ago that a sequel was being developed, and now Deadline reports tonight that *two*

The wait for Mortal Kombat will be just a tad bit longer, we’ve learned tonight, previously dated for release on April 16th but now bumped to April 23rd as of this moment in time. The rated “R” adaptation of the games comes to theaters and HBO Max same day. Presumably, it’s been slightly bumped to

A series adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling Grishaverse novels, Netflix‘s “Shadow and Bone” is coming to the streaming service on April 23, 2021, and the full trailer has arrived. “Shadow and Bone” finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting

Horror is so often defined by a sense of place. It’s the first thing that sets the tone for a game, before you run into any creatures or puzzles. The first Resident Evil struck a chord with many due to its impressive and imposing setting, and since then the series has brought us to many

On the road to this week’s release of Godzilla vs. Kong, director Adam Wingard (V/H/S, You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch) has set up his next project, a feature film adaptation of the beloved 1980s animated series “ThunderCats” for Warner Bros!

More like The Snooze We’re hurtling towards the end of March, which has been filled with a variety of disparate titles such as Friday the 13th Part 7, Diabolique, Scary Movie 2 and a special bonus episode on Servant season 2. For the second last week of the month, we’re returning to the turn of the century with

In addition to their recently announced “Kessler Wolf” action figure based on John Landis’s An American Werewolf in London, NECA has revealed tonight that the four Nazi nightmare mutants from one of the film’s most memorable scenes are also getting their own toys!

While it could very well just be for an update to allow newer PCs to be able to play the game, Square Enix has nonetheless pulled Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver from Steam. As reported by VGC, the page is still very much there, but instead of giving you the option to buy the game,

It’s been a year – give or take – since the pandemic forced a global economic shutdown. One of the casualties was the box office, a transformative event that forced studios to push many of their theatrical releases direct to VOD. The mass experiment was both a success and a failure, one that’s impossibly hard

Scares can come from anywhere. And the most unforgettable fear-inducing moments of cinema often happen outside the realm of the genre entirely, when you least expect it. Horror movies set the anticipation for scares, but that’s not the primary emotional response expected in comedies, dramas, and beyond. We’ve celebrated numerous scenes from non-horror movies that

Typically, you wouldn’t expect a space shooter to have horror elements attached to it, but that’s where developer Italian Games Factory is hoping to succeed with their upcoming title Haunted Space, which is set for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. Harkening back to the days of Wing Commander: Privateer, Haunted Space blends

While we still don’t have a definitive release date for LKA’s psychological horror title Martha is Dead, we do have a new trailer that was unveiled as part of Gamesradar’s Future Games Show Spring Showcase.

Before he took a trip to the Overlook Hotel to adapt Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan first dipped his toes into Stephen King‘s library with Gerald’s Game, a novel previously thought to be unfilmable. Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood star as a couple trying to spice up their marriage in a remote lake house. After the

Alongside grotesque bioweapons, spurious conspiracies, and demented interior design, puzzles are an inextricable part of Resident Evil’s DNA. In fact, they’re so tightly woven into the very fabric of the series, that it feels wrong whenever they’re sidelined. It’s just not an authentic RE experience if you don’t get hopelessly stuck, trying to figure out

As studios continue to rework their distribution plans in the wake of the ongoing pandemic, Paramount Pictures announced that Blumhouse’s upcoming new installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise would be going straight to Paramount+. At the time, a March 4, 2022 date had been slotted, although it was unclear if there would be a theatrical component to

Well, that didn’t take long. After announcing last week that their 2021 edition of the demo disc would be released “later this month”, Haunted PS1 has delivered the goods.

Stone by day, warriors by night… NECA announced last night that they’ve acquired the license to make action figures based on the ’90s animated series “Gargoyles,” which was produced by Walt Disney Television and centered on literal stone gargoyles that come to life and transform into protectors of NYC at night.

One of this year’s most entertaining horror movies so far is Willy’s Wonderland, which centers on Nicolas Cage battling evil animatronics in a Chuck E. Cheese like environment.

Series of Frights is a recurring column that mainly focuses on horror in television.

Horror stalwart Barbara Crampton‘s appearance in You’re Next marked the start of a prolific genre renaissance that includes producing as well as acting. All of that experience culminates in a monster-as-metaphor feature that attempts to retool the vampire mythos to allow its leading lady to sink her fangs into a meaty lead role. She’s acting opposite indie horror darling Larry

Between The Conjuring 2 and Amityville II: The Possession’s recent additions to streaming, as well as casting updates on the upcoming Chucky TV series, now seems like a perfect time to explore more of horror’s best sequels on streaming.

Co-director Leigh Thorne dropped us a line to announce that filming for his upcoming fan short Silent Hill: Road of Guilt is “in the can” after seven months. The team’s next goal? To get the film ready for Silent Hill 2‘s 20th anniversary in September. Leigh and company hope to have the film cut by

Since 1993’s Cronos, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro quickly became synonymous with horror hailing from Mexico. More recent releases like Issa Lopez‘s Tigers Are Not Afraid, Emilio Portes‘s Belzebuth, and even Gigi Saul Guerrero‘s Culture Shock indicate an emerging new class of talented genre contemporaries. While that’s exciting for horror’s future, there’s already a vast, rich history of Mexican
