Paramount Pictures sent us into the weekend with a trio of Scream posters that celebrated the legacy characters – Courteney Cox‘s Gale Weathers, Neve Campbell‘s Sidney Prescott, and David Arquette‘s Dewey Riley – each of them holding the iconic Ghostface mask that has been terrorizing them since the 90s. The series of posters was a lead up to

Welcome to Revenge of the Remakes, where columnist Matt Donato takes us on a journey through the world of horror remakes. We all complain about Hollywood’s lack of originality whenever studios announce new remakes, reboots, and reimaginings, but the reality? Far more positive examples of refurbished classics and updated legacies exist than you’re willing to remember

Jaymin Eve’s “Supernatural Academy” books are getting a Young Adult animated series adaptation from the streaming service Peacock, Deadline has announced this afternoon.

With a serious lack of promotion up to this point, it’s been easy to forget that a new take The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on the way, with the Fede Alvarez-produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre set to be a sequel to Tobe Hooper’s original classic. We’ve been promised “Old Man Leatherface” and the return of Sally Hardesty, two teases that

Fans of panstasz and publisher Ysbryd Games’ throwback RPG text adventure World of Horror received an early Christmas present today with a new update for the game, which adds two new characters, a new CHALLENGES mode, and two new endings. The main content for the update introduces “a truly cursed WITCH and the EX-CULTIST on the

Being the metalcore force that they’ve been for more than three decades, Converge has always been interested in experimentation. The band’s most iconic release, Jane Doe (which came out 20 years ago), is a testament to that; going beyond the realm of hardcore song structure, Converge laid out an experience that hammers and throttles away

A Bloody Disgusting favorite, Terrified delivered the goods. Meagan Navarro raved it delivered a “nonstop barrage of scares and super creepy set pieces… the equivalent of venturing into a haunted house attraction.” Director Demian Rugna has set up his next horror, When Evil Lurks, “revolving on timeless horror concepts and adding contemporary twists,” writes Variety,

The true story of the Boston Strangler will come to the screen in an upcoming feature being produced by Ridley Scott for 20th Century Studios, with Keira Knightley set to star. Matt Ruskin (“Crown Heights”) will write and direct the movie, and THR reports today that David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad, Dune) is the latest actor to come on board. THR

This article contains spoilers. Obviously. With Don Mancini in charge, you just knew that “Chucky” was going to take the franchise down entirely new paths while also making sure to continue storylines and bring back characters from the original movies. And indeed that’s precisely what the first season of the SYFY/USA series did, bringing back

Since the dawn of cinema, movie trailers have been promising thrills, chills and laughs for the price of an admission ticket, and I’d argue that they’re the most culturally significant form of advertising in modern media. In fact, some say that previews have evolved into an artform in and of themselves, often overshadowing the very

Originally announced a couple years back, Universal Pictures has been developing a solo movie for Dracula’s henchman Renfield, based on an original pitch from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) is set to direct the movie, with Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Fury Road) on board to star as Renfield.

As is in life, first impressions are important. And as a result, launch titles carry more weight than most console releases. Not only ushering in a new console cycle, but the games available on Day 1 should be a snippet of the future of that cycle. And for the Xbox 360, that Day 1 horrifying

Ahead of this week’s Season 1 finale, we’ve learned that Don Mancini‘s Child’s Play-based “Chucky” series has already been renewed for a second season by USA and SYFY! Across all platforms, “Chucky” has reached 9.5 million viewers in its first season. The season finale of “Chucky” airs Tuesday, Nov 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on

Animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is taking a shot at clothing companies that use animals for their products, launching the faux online shop “Urban Outraged” and packing it with clothing made from “genuine human leather.” It’s a fake online storefront, to be clear, so none of the gruesome clothing

While it still very much holds up today, one of the more glaring omissions from Saber Interactive’s remaster of Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the multiplayer component. Who wouldn’t want to bust ghosts with a friend, after all? Saber Interactive had shipped the game with the idea that the multiplayer could be added later. Unfortunately,

When it comes to classic horror, the Universal and Hammer monster movies come immediately to mind. Next, perhaps the Amicus anthologies or the films Val Lewton produced for RKO in the 1940s. But there is another great classic franchise worth consideration. The series of films directed by Roger Corman in the early 60s that have

In what might be a prelude for The Game Awards in a few weeks’ time, Capcom’s Resident Evil Village snagged several of the awards earlier this week at GamesRadar’s Golden Joystick Awards, including the coveted Ultimate Game of the Year. Alongside Village, Death Loop, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Elden Ring and even Dark Souls all

Video Game adaptations have long been a tricky, tricky thing to accomplish. Too far removed from the source material, and you earn the fanbase’s ire. Too close to the source material, and you’ll likely alienate newcomers. Many adaptations opt for the former. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City tries its hand at the latter, attempting to

Fandom can be a funny thing. People become very protective of the things they love. As horror fans, most of us have likely had to defend our love of the genre a time or two…hundred, which can cause some jading over time. This is perfectly understandable considering the deep chords that horror has the ability

Our friends over at Vinegar Syndrome always make sure Black Friday is extra special, and this year’s sale is now live for Thanksgiving Weekend, through Monday, November 29th. “Pretty much everything is 50% off” as part of the sale, Vinegar Syndrome notes, and previously announced new titles are available alongside just-announced secret titles.

Series of Frights is a recurring column that mainly focuses on horror in television. Specifically, it takes a closer look at five episodes or stories — each one adhering to an overall theme — from different anthology series or the occasional movie made for TV.
