Dementia Part II, the latest Bloody Disgusting x Dark Star Pictures collaboration, was born from a dare out of Chicago’s Cinepocalype Film Festival.

After being released in theaters and on HBO Max back in April, we’ve learned today that producer James Wan’s Mortal Kombat is now bringing the fight to physical media next month.

The three-book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is still fondly remembered forty years after the publication of the first installment, giving nightmares to multiple generations of children with classic horror tales that were elevated by truly chilling illustrations. It was Alvin Schwartz who wrote the stories, and artist Stephen Gammell who brought them

Hear me out: Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead is a lowkey thriller. Okay, okay, it’s probably more like a black comedy in line with Heathers or its spiritual sequel series, Dead to Me ─ so let me explain. Following its summer ‘91 theatrical run, and once it hit TV syndication and VHS rental, my

One of Bloody Disgusting’s favorite horror movies of 2021 thus far, The Canal director Ivan Kavanagh‘s Son is coming exclusively to Shudder for the summer, we’ve learned this morning.

Ahead of the show’s final season premiering this coming August, we’ve learned that “The Walking Dead: The Complete Tenth Season” is first getting its Blu-ray release this summer. The Whisperer war is upon us when Season Ten of “The Walking Dead” arrives on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital) and DVD July 20 from Lionsgate, a press release sent

Licensed games used to get a lot of flack for their shoddy production value and rushed development cycles, but that doesn’t mean they were all bad. Sometimes, passionate developers and the clever use of beloved IPs can be enough to overcome limited budgets and impossible deadlines, resulting in quite a few hidden gems even in

While you wait for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, now is a great time to revisit David Lynch‘s Dune, the 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel that… wasn’t exactly a hit for Lynch. But even if Lynch himself is no fan of the movie, 1984’s Dune is still fondly remembered by many, and this summer it’s getting

Predatory Pussy. May has been all over the place for Horror Queers. We began with super underrated DTV Mirror Mirror, stirred controversy with The Faculty (they’re all queer people – get over it), and revisited the legacy of Saw in time for Spiral‘s theatrical debut. Now we’re dipping our toe into modelling with Nicolas Winding Refn‘s The

Those of you who spent your college nights playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the free-to-play team-based multiplayer spin-off from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, probably remember that the game was originally to include a single player campaign that unfortunately never saw the light of day. Lucky for us, Dark Matter Productions’ William Faure, author of the The

Who shit in the toilet? We began the month by checking our reflections in Marina Sargenti’s Mirror Mirror and continued with a return trip to high school in Robert Rodriguez’s The Faculty last week. This week, we’re celebrating the release of Spiral: From the Book of Saw with a discussion of James Wan‘s influential debut film Saw! In

Although a perfectly valid criticism to make, it often seems like people hurl accusations of ‘’tonal inconsistency’’ at any piece of media that dares to experiment with more than one flavour. I cannot tally the number of reviews I’ve come across where a movie has been attacked for having a serious moment followed by a

Once again, fans are coming to the rescue for the Fallout series, as modding group The United West Team have revealed that they’re currently working on “Revelation Blue”, a remake of the cancelled Fallout 2 sequel, Van Buren. For those unaware, former Fallout series developer Black Isle Studios way back when was working on a

Paramount Pictures was hoping to make some noise at the box office, but this had to be entirely unexpected. After a year-long delay, A Quiet Place Part II (read our review) kicked off the summer movie season with a whopping $58 million opening over the 4-day holiday ($48.38M over the weekend), nearly matching the first

Koji Igarashi churned out a delightful spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of The Night with 2019’s Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. And after a sequel to the pixel-based spin-off in Curse of The Moon 2 last year, it looks as though we’ll be getting a proper sequel to Bloodstained. In a Digital Bros. slideshow presentation

A lot of horror fans assume that the “Slasher Flick” was killed off in the 90s, with the most likely culprit being Wes Craven’s loving satire, Scream. While it’s true that the many incarnations of Ghostface helped to expose the subgenre’s overused tropes and weaknesses, slasher movies never really died; they just became less mainstream

Formative Fears is a column that explores how horror scared us from an early age, or how the genre contextualizes youthful phobias and trauma. From memories of things that went bump in the night, to adolescent anxieties made real through the use of monsters and mayhem, this series expresses what it felt like to be a

Of all the horror icons in film history, none have more thoroughly embraced or had more fun with their sinister persona than Vincent Price. From his days playing the villain in the American stage version of Gaslight (then titled Angel Street) to baring his fangs with Kermit the frog on The Muppet Show, Price knew

Technically part of the Conjuring Universe, 2019’s folklore-based The Curse of La Llorona paved the way for director Michael Chaves to take the reigns from James Wan for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and now La Llorona is joining the Funko family. Announced tonight as part of Funko’s ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two

Revenge is best served ice cold. Being billed as “the mother of all action movies,” Netflix‘s Gunpowder Milkshake is being served up on July 14, promising “strong bloody violence” of the rated “R” variety.
