Video games have been a constant source of joy in my life, but my enjoyment hardly expanded into the horror genre for the longest time. My earliest memories tend to revolve around the various Mario games I owned on the Nintendo 64, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Super Smash

Would my horror journalist accreditation be revoked if I didn’t update my ranking of Warner Brothers’ Conjuring Universe (“Conjurverse,” to me) with every new canonical release? Of course not (because that’s not a real thing), but why not dissect totem dolls, sisterly sinners, and more possessions than Ash Williams could shake his boomstick at. What

Originally announced back in April, Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax remake is getting a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray from Scream Factory, and the release has been fully detailed today. “On July 13, Scream Factory proudly presents the modern cult classic House of Wax (2005) in the ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release, featuring a new 2K scan

We’ve learned the sad news today that actor Clarence Williams III, best known to horror fans for his role in Tales from the Hood, has passed away this week at the age of 81. “Williams died in Los Angeles on Friday of colon cancer,” reports The Hollywood Reporter. Clarence Williams III of course played the

The box office refuses to die, rising from the grave thanks to several horror movies. The genre is stronger than ever, pumping life into theaters and passing the baton from film to film as each claim the top spot at the box office. This weekend’s champ is Warner Bros. Pictures, who is absolutely killing it

Now streaming on Disney+, director Craig Gillespie‘s Cruella reimagines the origin story of 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil, with Emma Stone playing the title character. Also playing in theaters, Cruella has managed to make $50 million at the worldwide box office thus far, and it seems it’s doing pretty well on Disney+ too as

It’s now been nearly twenty years since Edgar Wright burst onto the scene with the horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead, which introduced Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to American audiences and won over horror fans and critics alike with its humor, lovable characters, and fun spin on zombie movie tropes. This Halloween season, Shaun gets

As we learned last year, a third A Quiet Place movie is already in the works, with Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) on board to direct a tale based on an idea by John Krasinski. Tonight, Paramount has dated that third installment for March 31, 2023! Deadline notes, “The pic is very early in development and

And there’s nothing we love more than “very Sam Raimi.” When Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) stepped away from the project due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped in to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, a perfect fit given Raimi’s history with Marvel superhero movies and of course, horror movies.

While we continue waiting for new movie Evil Dead Rise, we’ve learned today that the fan documentary Hail to the Deadites will finally be released this summer through Shout! Studios. Billed as “the ultimate love letter to the Evil Dead franchise,” director Steve Villeneuve‘s Hail to the Deadites will be available on digital and On

Dementia Part II, the latest Bloody Disgusting x Dark Star Pictures collaboration, was born from a dare out of Chicago’s Cinepocalype Film Festival. The gauntlet was thrown; producers JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules were challenged to produce a feature-length midnight movie from concept to finished product in one month so that it could make its

The Japanese novel Room 203, penned by Kamon Nanami, has been turned into a feature film by director Ben Jagger (Corbin Nash), and Voltage Pictures has acquired worldwide rights. Voltage will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming Marché du film, June 21-25, 2021. “Adapted from the novel published by Kobunsha and currently in

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. Mortal Kombat (Meagan’s review) punches its way to DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD on July 13! A special 4K Ultra HD Steelbook version will

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. Son will be available exclusively to stream on the platform starting on July 8, 2021. As a Shudder exclusive, the platform will be the only subscription

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
