Bram Stoker Award-Winning author Adam Cesare released his original slasher novel Clown in a Cornfield last year, which Bloody Disgusting’s own Meagan Navarro called “a great retro slasher in the guise of Young Adult horror.” Meagan added, “Cesare applies an ’80s style slasher to a modern setting, complete with social relevancy, making the small town

By the time it’s released, director Lee Cronin‘s (The Hole in the Ground) Evil Dead Rise, the brand new installment in the Evil Dead franchise that’s going directly to HBO Max, will be the franchise’s first movie in nearly 10 years, following in the wake of Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead and course, the Starz series “Ash vs. Evil Dead” that brought

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The adage thematically sums up the penultimate episode of “Chucky” season one. The last episode offered up a whirlwind of reveals, converging paths, and a meanspirited death to boot. “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” slows everything down to meticulously place the players on the game

The Resident Evil films evolved from a barely recognizable adaptation of the video games into an action sci-fi series. It emphasized the action, growing further and further away from anything resembling the games’ plotlines. Writer/Director Johannes Roberts, with Paul W.S. Anderson executive producing, offers a reboot that goes back to the beginning. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City remixes the first two

Sinister and Doctor Strange duo Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill return to horror with their brand new Blumhouse horror movie The Black Phone, an adaptation of Joe Hill‘s short story. The Black Phone comes to theaters on Friday, February 4, 2022, and the film features Ethan Hawke as a killer who wears a mask designed by Tom Savini and his team! The makeup effects legend and Jason

Editor’s Note: Joe Lipsett had previously reviewed the show’s first three episodes. Belief is a gray element within life – belief can inspire good or evil. Belief can allow us to find hope or stir others with fear. In the wrong hands, people can craft belief into a weapon. The latter is very much at

The empowerment of arming the player has always been somewhat of a conundrum for the horror genre.  While necessary to the player’s survival, the inevitable firepower bestowed upon the player can be detrimental to the carefully crafted horror elements.  So, what happens when the player is stripped of that empowerment and trades in their gun

NECA recently announced that they’ve acquired the license to make action figures based on the ’90s animated series “Gargoyles,” which was produced by Walt Disney Television and centered on literal stone gargoyles that come to life and transform into protectors of NYC at night. Three seasons were produced in total, with fans frequently still begging for

Throughout my time playing Dying Light 2 Stay Human, I felt drawn into the world. Everything from the monsters I faced to the NPCs I interacted with all came together to create this authentic apocalyptic setting. Humanity’s struggle to survive against these horrific creatures and each other moved me, especially considering the more emotional writing and

Heading into the weekend, I had a blast reading all the box office reports, especially the ones that declared Ghostbusters: Afterlife (read our review) a failure even before it opened. Early tracking for the brand new Ghostbusters was targeting $28M-$35M, and because the estimates were less than the 2016 remake directed by Paul Feig (it

Originally slated for a December 31st launch, developer OverBorder Studio and Team17 have announced that their upcoming action RPG Thymesia has been delayed into 2022. It’s not all bad news, however, as the developer announced via a new trailer that the game will be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, in addition

Enough… is never enough. The late Larry Cohen tackled American marketing and consumerism with 1985’s The Stuff, centered on a dessert sensation that begins consuming the consumers. The film has been released to home video at various different points over the years, most recently on Blu-ray by Arrow Video, but it seems a never-before-seen version

I admit: I was only a casual Buffy the Vampire Slayer viewer. During the show’s run (1997-2003), I tuned it on occasion, finding great delight in Sarah Michelle Gellar’s wonderfully empowering turn as the titular vampire hunter, but it was never an obsession among my core group of friends. I have, of course, come around

Fresh off of A24’s Lamb and Netflix’s The Trip, actress Noomi Rapace has set up her next genre role in You Won’t Be Alone. Per Deadline, Focus Features’ supernatural horror thriller has been set for theatrical release on January 28, 2022. The film is: “Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia, the

Remember when Ecto Cooler made its triumphant return to store shelves for Ghostbusters back in 2016? Well the beloved pop culture beverage is also coming back to life as a tie-in with Jason Reitman’s brand new movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife… in a much more limited capacity. The official Hi-C account just tweeted a fun retro-style commercial

Marvel is bringing Blade back to the big screen in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali taking over the role. THR reports today that actor Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods, “Anansi Boys”) is now in final talks to join the reboot. While it remains unclear what role Lindo will be playing, THR

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States. Fears may not be universal, but one thing is for sure — a scream is understood, always and everywhere. Returning to his hometown was not an easy decision for Adam. He

After giving fans a treat last month with the concept art for their upcoming horror adventure title Bramble: The Mountain King, developer Dimfrost Studio has released a new trailer showcasing the title’s gameplay. The trailer shows off some of the gameplay mechanics, including the game’s combat, stealth, as well as the environmental puzzles you’ll encounter.

Scene Screams is a recurring column that spotlights the scenes in horror that make us scream, whether through fear, laughter, or tears. It examines the most memorable, and often scariest, scenes in horror and what it is about them that makes them get under our skin.  Comedy and horror make excellent bedfellows because of their similarities.

From Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later to Scorsese’s Shutter Island, some of the most entertaining genre films are made by established directors attempting to challenge themselves by trying something new. Mostly known for his indie comedies, Kevin Smith might not be the first name that comes to mind when one thinks of legitimately chilling movies,

A Bloody Disgusting favorite, Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You, V/H/S/94) has been hired to direct a remake of the South Korean zombie epic Train to Busan for New Line Cinema, we had learned earlier this year. The film, however, will not be titled Train to Busan. Instead, Deadline notes, it’s

Every horror fan knows Paramount Pictures, but Paramount Players is quietly building out quite the horror library.

Spontaneous Comburst. We’re only a few weeks into November, but we’re not letting the post-Halloween doldrums get us down. After celebrating our 150th (!!!) episode last week with The Lost Boys, we’re dedicating this week to a whole different anniversary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s amazing musical episode, “Once More, With Feeling,” which turned 20 last week.

NECA has already released a couple figures of “The Creep” from Shudder’s “Creepshow” anthology series, but coming soon they’re giving the same treatment to the original Creep! This figure is based on Stephen King and George A. Romero’s 1982 anthology film Creepshow, which of course served as the basis for Shudder’s spinoff television series. The
