Tokyo Game Show 2022 has kicked off with Capcom revealing new details for their upcoming “Winters’ Expansion” DLC for Resident Evil Village.

Producer Álex de la Iglesia (The Day of the Beast) enlisted horror director Jaume Balagueró (REC, Sleep Tight) to helm the newest entry in his feature film series “The Fear Collection.” Balagueró teamed with Verónica scribe Fernando Navarro to co-write Venus, a blood-drenched and modern update to H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Dreams in the Witch House.” A violent crime thriller gets applied to the Lovecraftian tale,

Ruby Baker’s carefree days of staying out past curfew, carousing with her besties, and simply being a teenager are all over.

Director Tim Story’s slasher The Blackening has a killer premise: if all of the characters are Black, who dies first? In the adaptation of 3peat’s Comedy Central short, co-writers Dewayne Perkins and Tracy Oliver strand a group of friends at a remote cottage in the woods for Juneteenth (yes holiday horror!). Unbeknownst to them, the

Axes, machetes and chainsaws – oh my! certain objects will forever be associated with the horror genre despite having completely normal uses in real life. This makes sense, as years of genre cinema have conditioned us to expect bloody carnage whenever a kitchen knife shows up in a scary movie. However, some filmmakers like to

Bloody Disgusting’s Pearl review is spoiler-free. Writer/Director Ti West nestled his ode to independent, exploitation filmmaking into ‘70s set slasher X. For its prequel, West rewinds the clock much further to pay tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Mia Goth reprises her role as the repressed killer Pearl, this time exploring a much different, younger side. Pearl makes for

We’re just about one month away from the return of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends, coming to theaters and streaming on Peacock on October 14, 2022. The wait is almost over, and a brand new international TV spot has surfaced this week to give us a first look at some fresh new

Horror fans can scream “original horror” all they want but the truth is that risks are only taken when there’s proof of success. Studios and distributors are reactionary and when horror fans vote with their dollars it tells them to take more risks. 2022 has been an excellent year for both the genre and risks.

It’s been a long time since writer/director Henry Selick has graced audiences with a spooky, stop-motion animated feature. More precisely, it’s been almost thirty years since he helmed the beloved classic The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Sure, a larger and more elaborate follow-up to a horror property can sometimes result in a masterpiece, like in the case of Aliens or Evil Dead II, but added complexity can often sabotage an over-ambitious sequel. This also applies to videogames, with developers sometimes
