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

This year marks a big anniversary for not just one, but two beginnings in the Friday the 13th series: one much beloved and another widely despised. Both have had a lasting effect on the series, for better or for worse, as well as having a great deal in common. Both pushed the envelope for gore

Of all the many streaming services offered, the best ones tend to focus on curated content. Services like Shudder, created specifically for and by the horror fan, and the Criterion Channel.

More choice is best, it seems. Obviously, everyone is looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, but that doesn’t mean other cyberpunk games like get left in the dust.

Things got interesting for the Alien and Predator franchises when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox (now known as 20th Century Studios), leaving us to wonder what the future of the two franchises is going to look like. Well, on the comics front, we’ve learned that Marvel Comics has acquired both Alien and Predator – Marvel,

Despite their popularity, exorcism movies are extremely difficult to pull off. Not only are there religious issues that have to be carefully dealt with in order to avoid offending any particular faith, but the end product will also inevitably be compared to William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. Naturally, it’s hard to follow up on one of

Ah, the 1980s. The decade that saw the release of Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Christmas horror film that spawned parental outrage for its depiction of a killer dressed as Santa Claus.

Romero, who passed away before completing the novel, and finished by Daniel Kraus, this year’s The Living Dead presents a brand new 656-page zombie epic that brings the long-running “living dead” saga off the screen and into the world of print.

Remakes are officially cool again.

Of all the subgenres of horror, body horror tends to bring the most repulsive, cringe-worthy offerings. There’s something inherently terrifying about your own body turning against you, transforming it against your will into something grotesque and inhuman. Even when not afflicted by supernatural diseases and bizarre horrors, the human body is capable of doing some

With all three seasons now streaming on Netflix, Bryan Fuller‘s “Hannibal” has been a hot topic of conversation in recent weeks, with many wondering if the potential success of the series on the streaming service could lead Netflix to bring it back for a fourth season.

It’s incredibly isolating, for one, but hazardous, icy weather tends to provide a moody Gothic backdrop to whatever thrills and chills are in store. The Oak Room takes a raging Canadian snowstorm and builds an entire mystery around it, scaling back the
