As you may recall, NECA had several years back turned H.R. Giger‘s original translucent Xenomorph concept for Alien into an action figure, and now Mezco is doing the very same. The original prototype suit for the “Big Chap” Alien was cast in a translucent flesh-tone but repeated difficulties with the material forced the change to

The Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise is one of horror’s strangest and boldest. It is wildly uneven in tone and quality, whiplashing between deadly serious and high camp, dizzying heights and the lowest depths often within the same movie. But from its notorious original to its bonkers direct-to-video finale, the series is without a doubt

Year two of an ongoing pandemic made for another fascinating year in horror.

A green beast that lives in a cave high atop a mountain, terrorizing the residents of a happy Christmas village down below. Attempting to steal their Christmas. Attempting to steal away their happiness. The classic Dr. Seuss tale “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” isn’t a horror story – even if that green beast was voiced

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States.

Where movie trailers can capture an audience’s attention with a montage of scenes, a poster must do it with a single image. It needs to grab you immediately. When done well, a movie poster not only piques curiosity but there’s an excellent chance we’ll want it on our walls, too. Whether the image matches the

This was a killer year for music across the board. I love a year where it’s challenging for me to put together a top 10 list; I initially start my process with a top 20 and then work my way to those really special records. It’s also exciting to share my personal top records with

Unfortunately, 2021 was still largely haunted by the ghost of 2020, and as such, escapism remained a vital component of day-to-day life. Luckily, there was plenty of it on offer. 2021 marked a huge year for perhaps the biggest name in horror games, Resident Evil. Not only did the series celebrate its 25th anniversary, but

In what’s said to be one of the most jam-packed programs in years, the Sundance Film Festival has unloaded its lineup of films for the 2022 event returning to Park City Utah from January 20-30.

IGN has managed to wring a bit more information from Bokeh Game Studio’s Keiichiro Toyama in regards to the upcoming Slitterhead. That being said, Toyama admittedly didn’t want to go into a lot of details “yet” regarding his return to Survival Horror. But at least we know more about just what the hell was going

Humanity creates A.I., relies heavily on A.I. in every aspect of daily living, and becomes horrified when a triggering event causes A.I. to turn on its creators.

Friday brings the theatrical release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the third entry of the Tom Holland starring MCU Spider-Man films. The sequel sees Spider-Man turn to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help, then a spell goes awry.

Widely known as a deeply maligned production, 1996’s Hellraiser: Bloodline was the last theatrical feature in the Clive Barker-originated franchise, and the last to boast its creator’s input, before the ensuing sequels went the direct-to-video route with a number of low budget follow-ups which often suffered from diminishing returns.
