While they didn’t explicitly state it, after the hints leading up to it, the wait for new Alan Wake content is almost over. At Sony’s State of Play earlier today, 505 Games and Remedy have announced that the next Control DLC known as “AWE” will launch on August 27 across all available platforms for $14.99,

Last we heard, the seventh Tremors movie is still on track for release in October, and we’ve learned via the MPAA today that it’s been given an official title and a PG-13 rating. Formerly titled Tremors: Island Fury, it’s now titled Tremors: Shrieker Island! That title is in reference to the Shriekers, a recurring franchise

Walkabout Games have released a second developer diary for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest, this time focusing on what motivated the project in the first place. Lead designer Artur Ganszyniec answers just why the team decided to work on a game based on werewolves (other than it being freakin’ cool), and demonstrates

Following a successful beta which saw more than 350,000 players download the game in one week, and surpassed more than 6 million views across Twitch and YouTube, Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack have announced that their soulslike game Mortal Shell will arrive August 18, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic

Earlier today, WarnerMedia held their virtual Television Critics Association panel for upcoming HBO series “Lovecraft Country,” which comes from Misha Green, Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams and is set to premiere on August 16. During the conversation, first brought to our attention by Eric Goldman, Green teased A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s influence on the show. AOL provides us

If you’ve got retro shooters on the brain (and be honest, who doesn’t these days?), you’ll be pleased to know that Saibot Studios’ Hellbound has finally arrived, and is on Steam for $14.99 USD. As an extra special treat, in celebration of its launch, the game will be discounted 20% for an entire week after

Paul W.S. Anderson is on board to executive produce and direct the pilot episode of a “Mimic” television series, Deadline reports tonight, which will adapt the same Donald A. Wollheim-penned short story that Guillermo del Toro brought to the big screen in 1997. The project is set up at Miramax Television, with Jim Danger Gray (“Orange

The 2007 killer croc movie Black Water drew inspiration from a true story in which a pregnant woman, her boyfriend, and her sister were terrorized by a crocodile in a Northern Australian mangrove swamp. Directed by David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki, the movie used shot footage of crocodiles and tense plotting to create a simple yet effective

“Evil has a way of looking nice and shiny on the outside.” Coming in the wake of 1995’s anthology and its direct-to-video sequel from 2018 is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s Tales from the Hood 3, and we’ve got a teaser clip tonight. The film’s cast includes horror legend Tony Todd, and the Candyman star is featured in

There’s something vastly appealing, on an international scale, about giant monster movies. For nearly as long as film has existed, there’s been massive-sized beasts decimating cities and terrorizing those in its path. Time only proves that you can’t keep a good monster down, as they’ve been resurrected, rebooted, remade, and pitted against each other with

Chunky Knit Sweater. After episodes on I Know What You Did Last Summer, May, What Lies Beneath and The Old Dark House, we’re just about ready to close the book on July 2020. First, however, we’ve got reason to celebrate: it’s the 35th anniversary of Tom Holland‘s Fright Night! This one is important to both

Practicing your social isolation? It would certainly kill the arcades these days (if they still existed). Younger gamers probably never experienced the phenomenon that was the arcade. Before it was eclipsed by console gaming in the mid-90s, the arcade was the place to play some amazing video games, including some great horror titles. Some of

Hard to believe that Capcom had what appeared to be a hot new franchise on its hands with Dead Rising back in 2006. The thrill of Dawn of the Dead in video game form, combined with some great technology at the time, seemed like something that begged to be expanded upon. Flash forward almost 15

In spite of the various mods (such as this one) you can grab for Alien: Isolation, it’s still a shame that it was never officially implemented. Shaftesbury Lucid Inc looks to fill that void with their recently-released sci-fi horror game, WREST, which is available on Steam, HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift. WREST throws you

Some more sad news here in 2020, as we’ve learned tonight that actor Wilford Brimley, known to horror fans as Blair in John Carpenter’s The Thing, has passed away at age 85. Brimley had been sick for two months with a kidney ailment, NY Times reports. Wilford Brimley’s Hollywood career began with a role in

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have popularized the use of post-credits scenes, but they’ve been around for decades. One of the earliest appearances of the post-credit scene, also referred to as a stinger, is from Night of the Living Dead. Its use picked up speed in the ‘80s and continued to gain momentum until the unstoppable

NECA has been having a lot of fun this year making Gremlins toys based on vintage marketing materials for the film, and the latest one celebrates Christmas… Gremlins style. Based on classic marketing and newspaper ads, the figure puts Stripe in a Santa suit! The figure looks to include a sack, a candy cane and

Any time Lovecraft is involved in video games, you know that it’s worth at least a look. And in the case of Ares Dragonis’ The Shore, that goes double for the graphics. Seriously, this looks gorgeous. Originally available on itch.io (where you can download a free demo), the full game is getting the Steam treatment

It’s not a project we’ll likely be covering beyond this bit of news but we figured all the Bruce Campbell fans out there would be excited to hear that the horror icon has signed on to star in political dark-comedy thriller 18 1/2, providing the voice of Richard Nixon! The Wrap broke the news tonight

Left for Dead. Back for Vengeance. Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive trailer premiere for the brutal survival thriller Range Runners, from director Philip S. Plowden, which premieres On Demand and DVD September 8th from Uncork’d Entertainment. In the film, “A woman thru-hiking an isolated trail runs into trouble when her pack is hijacked by two

It’s unreal that we’re already counting down to Halloween and this year we have plenty of treats up our sleeve. Launching later this fall, Bloody Disgusting is excited to partner with Cinedigm on a completely free horror streaming network featuring a mix of horror classics, contemporary cult favorites, and original programming that will reflect the programming

The ‘90s often get a bad rap with horror fans. After the numerous successful slashers and creature effects films of the ’80s, the ‘90s offered a different variety of horror fare. Though there were plenty of hits, hidden gems, and misunderstood classics, the ‘90s usually don’t get the kind of love that other decades get when

Pandemic be damned, the 45th Toronto International Film Festival is still taking place from September 10–19, 2020. While it’s unclear how things will unfold over the next few months, TIFF has assembled quite an impressive lineup, including three must-see Midnight Madness titles. The first, Shadow in the Cloud, from director Roseanne Liang, is teased for

Announced this week, designer Warren Lotas has whipped up a limited edition pair of custom Nike Dunk Lows that pay tribute to both Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. Only 2,000 pairs of the green & white shoes will be produced, and they feature red laces as well as a custom Nike “swoosh” logo that incorporates

Nothing can truly “cancel” Halloween, but we can be pretty certain that this year’s Halloween season will be a bit different. Halloween Horror Nights, for starters, has been cancelled this year, and we can only assume trick-or-treating on the big day won’t be as popular as it usually is. As for haunted attractions, well, they

Production wrapped last year on director Robert Zemeckis‘s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Witches for Warner Bros., which had previously been adapted by Nicolas Roeg back in 1990. And much like the 1990 film, the new take has also been rated PG by the MPAA. The Witches is rated PG for “Scary images/moments, language and

Well, it was too good to be true. The suggestion of Junji Ito actually working with Hideo Kojima on his rumoured horror game turned out to be a case of Ito overstating what Kojima had said. After the frenzy generated over the weekend by Ito saying that Kojima was working on a horror game, and

Well Go USA had been set to release Sang-ho Yeon‘s Train to Busan follow-up Peninsula in theaters here in the U.S. and Canada beginning on August 7, but we’ve learned today that the release has been bumped slightly back to later in the month. The new date? August 21, 2020. Peninsula will still release in Canada, however, on

In addition to the 4-part “Marvel Action: Chillers” series, Marvel is also celebrating Halloween this year with a line of Horror Variant covers that pay tribute to their own past horrors. The press release explains, “From Werewolf by Night to Tomb of Dracula, Marvel has a proud history of horror themed comics and this October, these classic terrifying

Ahead of the recently announced third season that’s coming our way next year, Joe Bob Briggs first returns to Shudder next month with “The Last Drive-In: Summer Sleepover Special”!
