As you may recall, James Wan had been developing an Aquaman spinoff that was set to be a full-on monster movie, centered on the ocean-dwelling race of creatures that made a memorable appearance in Wan’s 2018 superhero movie. It was to be titled The Trench, but unfortunately we’ve learned the news this week that Warner

SYFY is celebrating April Fools today with an all-day marathon of the Child’s Play franchise (full schedule here), which is helping to set the stage for the upcoming “Chucky” television series that’ll be airing on both SYFY and USA later this year. From creator Don Mancini, the series continues the original franchise’s storyline, and we’ve

As a general rule of thumb, inventory management is a necessary evil for video games, there only to prevent you from accumulating too much power at once. It’s not really intended to be fun in and of itself, unless you happen to derive great pleasure from sifting through long menus or calculating weight thresholds. Rather,

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

The team behind “Rick and Morty” must be huge horror fans. Over the years, they’ve done more than a handful of tributes to classic horror films, not to mention spilling an absurd amount of blood and guts throughout the first four seasons. New episodes are on the way, with Adult Swim teasing the return of

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! Deadline reports that Wingard is directing the film and also writing the script with frequent

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

Do you guys believe in ghosts? Disney’s Searchlight acquired The Night House (our review) out of Sundance last year, and they’ll be bringing director David Bruckner‘s new horror movie to theaters on July 16, 2021.

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,

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

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

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.

At the time, a March 4, 2022 date had been slotted, although it was unclear if there would be a theatrical component to

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

Putting aside the “is it or isn’t it” with regards to Death Stranding getting DLC, it seems that Hideo Kojima is getting ready to work on his next game. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, in an interview with Al Hub,  Kojima Productions’ studio art director Yoji Shinkawa stated that the team will be announcing the

The “Bat Horror” sub-genre gets a new entry with ITN Distribution’s Bats: The Awakening this year, a new creature feature directed by Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews. In the film, written by Jeffrey… “An alien virus that once wiped civilizations out in ancient times through out time has returned overnight by a mysterious thunderstorm infecting all the bats in the area causing them grow into grotesque giant carnivore man-eater monster bats and it’s up to humankind to fight for their lives to survive or history will once again repeat it’s self as it has thousands of years ago.” Megan Purvis, Georgia Conlan, Amanda-Jade Tyler, Ricardo Freitas, Kate Sandison, Venetia Cook, Marek Lichtenberg, Nicole Nabi, Mat Sibal and Ellis Tustin star.

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.
