Being totally honest here, the first Goosebumps movies was more fun than it had any right to be. I'm not sure that I'd go as far as to say it was truly good, but I actually thought they did something interesting with it. Now the trailer wi...
The Fantasia International Film Festival will be kicking off its 22nd iteration from July 12 through August 2 this year in Montreal, and it's packed with the strange and wonderful. I’m a big fan of the strange and wonderful, so I&rsqu...
Of all the contrived horror franchises, The Purge series of films is the most perplexing to me. Series like Insidious or Saw are for the most part, poorly written excuses for a nightmare to emerge onscreen. These films don’t always ...
There's a moment in Sunset Society in which a vampire is about to have sex with a girl. The second he opens his jeans fog rolls out. At first you think it's his own personal penis fog, but soon the dude turns completely into fog, and thi...
I never read The House with the Clock in its Walls when I was kid, but I vividly remember its cover for some reason. It has the same "scarier than the actual book" feel as those illustrations from Scary Stories to Tell ...
Mandy, the second feature from director Panos Cosmatos, has just released its first trailer, and it is a spectacular showing of surreal horror and violence. The plot takes place in 1983 and shows Red (Nicolas Cage) work to slaughter his wa...
Ash vs. Evil Dead is over, and it's not coming back. Bruce Campbell has officially hung up his chainsaw, no network decided to rescue the show, and hope has shuttered on the idea of this iteration of the franchise continuing. And as the fin...
The new red band trailer for Shane Black's The Predator has all the blood and cursing you could ask for--in that it doesn't have much blood and cursing at all. What it does have, however, is the titular Predator facing off against an even ...
Warner Bros. and Robert Zemeckis are in final negotiations for him to direct a remake of Roald Dhal's The Witches. This is meant to be a more direct adaptation of the book in which a boy returns to England with his grandmother, an ex witcho...
You gotta hand it to James Wan and the other producers behind The Conjuring, they took a moderately successful horror film and turned it into a franchise that could easily last an eternity. As long as the Warrens keep on adding creepy thin...
From looking at Jurassic Games, you might assume that this is just some knockoff of another Jurassic film franchise meant to profit off confusion and association without any regard for being a good movie in any way shape or form. You'll tur...
You can bet that even a mildly successful horror film will spawn a glut of sequels. Even when all 9 of those sequels and reboots fail to live up to the original, another sequel always seems in the pipelines. It’s been 4 decades si...
Hereditary had so much buzz coming out of festival season that I was chomping at my horror bit to get into theaters and see it. I'm not sure I was more excited to see a single film at SXSW this year (until the surprise announcement of&...
Amazon Studios has just released the first official trailer for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming Suspiria remake, and it actually looks pretty good! Suspiria, as a classic of supernatural horror, has few equals in the genre. It made Dario Argent...
I love gross movies. There's something about watching a weird monster with a tree dick chase a noble woman through a forest while spilling an endless stream of sperm or a grease-covered sociopath squeezing the eyeballs out of a man's head t...
Creepy Crawlers are the reason I didn't learn to cook until I was in my mid-twenties. The anti-Easy-Bake Oven left a deep impression in me that anything I cooked should spurt neon green guts when I smashed it under my fist, or it wasn't wor...
Locke and Key is one of the darlings of the comic horror scene, for as long as I have been into comics people have always suggested that I read it because it's so well written. Unfortunately, I am poor and can't afford every book and my lib...
Zombieland, a pretty good movie that spawned a terrible Amazon series that we've all worked hard to forget, is still shambling toward a sequel. What's seemed pretty damn unlikely for years now might actually make it to theaters just a decad...
Anthology horror shows have a soft spot in my heart. I devoured Tales from the Crypt, Monsters, and Masters of Horror as they lit up the small screen. You give me a werewolf Jerry Stiller, and I'm hooked for life. There's something comforti...
I guess adding Uma Thurman to any movie automatically shifts it into a Quentin Tarantino film. Even Lars Von Trier, a director not known for making movies most folks would describe as fun, isn't immune. The first trailer for his newest wor...
By the summer of 2014, Hannibal had just concluded its second season with an explosive finale that left viewers shocked. The series was renewed for a third season, praise for the series was unprecedented, and fans were ravenous for more con...
Kaiseki: A type of art form that balances the taste, texture, appearance, and colors of food. Finished dishes are carefully presented on plates that are chosen to enhance both the appearance and the seasonal theme of the meal.&nbs...
Gross movies are a blast for me. I know not a lot of people agree, but there's something about splurts of goo and guts whizzing past the screen that fills me with a childlike glee. Needless to say, I'm intrigued by the upcoming The Night o...
With Jordan Peele creating an Oscar-winning cultural phenomenon with Get Out, we've all been wondering what his next project will be. Just last night, Peele pulled back the curtain to give us a little tease for his next film, Us. ...
To really drive home that God-less feeling that The Witch so beautifully expounded, Funko Pop is going to be releasing a Black Phillip figure this coming July. Breathe it in ye sinners.
Happy Death Day was a film rife with potential, and devoid of reaching that potential. Thanks to a PG-13 rating, and a tepid screenplay, the fantastic concept didn't have the blood and gore it needed to really succeed. Instead it funct...
Leading up to the Tribeca Film Festival, this was the one movie that I was looking forward to the most. Just by doing my initial research on the premise, two women try to rob their insane, delusional friend who forces them to play a game, I...
A Quiet Place, a cool movie and massive commercial success, will be getting a sequel, as Paramount announced at CinemaCon. The movie made $213 million against a $17 million budget, so a sequel was inevitable. Hell, ten sequels are probably ...
Every streaming platform needs filler, something cheap and disposable to keep subscribers peaking at what's available. Maybe a few people will watch it, because they have nothing better to do. And maybe that's the best way to watch it. ...
Starz has announced that Ash vs Evil Dead will not be renewed for a fourth season. After the April 29 season finale the show will be cancelled, ending a run that painted our screens in prolific amounts of gore and blood, not to me...
I was so hyped for this. The trailer looked fantastic, and I'm a sucker for anthology horror. Even if the quality of the shorts was uneven, I enjoyed the original V/H/S's use of a frame story. This movie’s frame story sounded even b...
Stop me if you've heard this one before: A group of death row inmates are forced to battle to the death in an absurd game of survival that's televised live for all of America to gawk at. The good guy is actually innocent of his crimes and ...
[Editor's Note: Before we say anything, this recap will obviously go into detail about this episode of The Terror, so there are going to be a ton of SPOILERS. Beginning now.] Halfway through the season and no signs of ceasing its relen...
As we all know, wildlings are people that live north of the wall that the Rangers, or Black Brothers like to kill. Oh, this isn't Game of Thrones? I just thought what with the 7 year wait it must be. In that case ... Wha...
When it comes to horror movies, it's very hard to impress me. I'm not saying that I'm a horror movie snob, but at a certain point, horror just wasn't scary anymore. I wasn't being unsettled by a gruesome monster, or unnerved at a creepy hal...
I'm not sure if it was hubris or clarity that led Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse, to plaster the studio name before its new movie Blumhouse's Truth or Dare. There have been a plethora of other horror films within the past five years(!) with t...
[Editor's Note: Before we say anything, this recap will obviously go into detail about this episode of The Terror, so there are going to be a ton of SPOILERS. Beginning now.] Interesting episode title, isn't it? What exactly do they me...
The Purge series is, for me, one that gets continually better. The first squandered the premise as a by-the-numbers home invasion film. The second took the series to the streets and opened it wide up for future installments. And the third,...
For the entire night after I saw A Quiet Place I thought every sound was too loud. I put something down and the noise it made stood out to me. Each footstep seemed to fall heavier than it should have. Opening a door was a cre...
Fox Searchlight, clearly impressed with del Toro's incredible success with The Shape of Water, has signed him to an overall deal for a variety of live-action projects that del Toro will write, direct, and/or produce. Fox will also create a ...
