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

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.

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.

The announcement also comes with a brand-new trailer. In Godzilla Battle Line, all of the legendary TOHO kaiju and weapons from the

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. Whatever the case, modder Vtaw has managed to appease both fans by creating a mod that brings everyone’s towering vampire, Village‘s Lady Dimitrescu, into Fallout 4 for the PC.

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? Well apparently, that’s not going to happen for the time being. According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, Naughty

Announced last week, Jed Shepherd, the writer of last year’s horror movie Host, is back with Ghosts, a brand new experience being billed as a real-time, live-action horror game.

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.

We’ve learned the sad news tonight that Felix Silla, an actor and stuntman best known for playing Cousin Itt on “The Addams Family,” has passed away today at the age of 84.
