Welcome to the Hammer Factory. This month we dissect Night Creatures (1962). While Hammer Studios has been in business since 1934, it was between 1955 and 1979 that it towered as one of the premier sources of edgy, gothic horror. On top of ushering the famous monsters of Universal’s horror heyday back into the public eye,

The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer. My personal favorites when it comes to this type of mayhem are that of Puppet Combo’s games; in gems like Babysitter Bloodbath and Murder House, you must run for your life as a mad killer tries to hunt

Thanks to a never-ending pandemic, the past two years threw the release slate into a state of flux that still hasn’t let up: constant shifts, postponements, and a rearranging calendar. The one constant, as usual, is that horror thrives no matter the scenario. What that means for 2022 is that while many of the planned

Remember the “Dark Universe“? It was only a handful of years back that Universal had decided to reboot their iconic monster properties with big budgets and big name actors including Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Javier Bardem, but those plans of course came crashing down with the box office underperformance of the new universe’s starter

While the MCU might want to sell you the idea that Sam Rami’s upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is their big jump into horror – keep in mind that we’ve already been gifted with a couple awesome horror gems in the form of Marvel movies. While 1998’s Blade is one of my

Although R. L. Stine is best known for scaring younger audiences, namely with series like Fear Street and Goosebumps, the prolific children’s author has dabbled in adult stories from time to time. Sprinkled throughout his extensive oeuvre are the occasional grown-up tales of terror; four to be exact. In Stine’s third novel aimed at older

Directed by Patricia Harris Seeley, written by Cameron Larson (story) and Jose Prendes (screenplay), The Legend of La Llorona follows a family vacationing to Mexico in an effort to escape the grief that has fallen over them.

From director Matt Reeves, The Batman will release in theaters on March 4, 2022, a brand new reboot that includes everyone from Catwoman to the Riddler and the Penguin. The film has now received an official rating from the MPA, and while The Batman has been rated “PG-13,” it sounds like there’s still plenty of darkness to be found

We’re now just a few short days away from the release of Scream, which feels like the most hotly anticipated horror movie since Halloween back in 2018. And it’s not even the only big horror franchise return on the way here in 2022, but let’s focus on the here and now! Our review of the

Last year, it was revealed that Sony was in the process of reviving the Twisted Metal series to coincide with the upcoming TV series. That’s still the plan, but according to Video Games Chronicle, the game is now changing developers. According to VGC’s sources, the Twisted Metal revival was being handled by UK-based Destruction All-Stars

A planned remake of The Raid from director Joe Carnahan has recently morphed into a different project entirely, but another new take on the Indonesian fight film has now sprung up.

So many questions answered, yet so many remain heading into the season finale of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets.” Ahead of this Sunday’s finale, a new promo below teases the fallout from the insanity of “Doomcoming,” the penultimate episode that sent the characters teetering past the threshold of sanity. In the season one finale: “On the night of

Yeah, we know it sucks that for whatever reason, Capcom still hasn’t budged (as far as we know) on revisiting the Dino Crisis series. With games like Deathground and Instinction on the way, at least fans have spiritual successors to look forward to. But what if Capcom did decide to given Regina and company a

Writing my top records for 2021 proved to be a challenge considering all the good music that came out last year – and 2022 already looks to be just as exciting. Across death metal, doom, ambient, avant-garde, nu metal, and even more, there’s a lot to be on the lookout for. An important note that

While some films have proven to be pandemic proof – Spider-Man: No Way Home has far surpassed $1 billion globally – others just haven’t been able to
