Series of Frights is a recurring column that mainly focuses on horror in television.

With anthologies becoming popular again, especially on television, now is

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

Now available on PVOD, this year’s “final” franchise installment The Forever Purge is already headed to Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD, with the release scheduled for September 28. Additionally, all five films will be collected together in a Blu-ray set on the same day. “This year, all the rules are broken as a sect of

It’s not unusual for eras or decades of the horror genre to be categorized by one overarching theme or style. The eighties have become synonymous for their boom in low-budget, often sleazy, slasher films inspired by the cornerstone slashers of the mid-to-late seventies. The horrors of the 50s reflected cultural fears of science creating new

“I feel like dynamite, I feel like dying tonight…” Sleigh Bells – comprised of producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss – have returned to shred on just-announced their sixth album, Texis, set for release on September 10, 2021 (Mom + Pop Music).

When writer-director Tom McLoughlin grabbed the wheel of the Friday the 13th franchise, he took it in a completely new direction. Five sequels in — and particularly following the polarizing reception to 1985’s Friday the 13th: A New Beginning — he knew the slasher series needed a fresh take. Something that could recalibrate the Jason

Epic Games are catering to genre fans once again with the reveal that Asobo’s A Plague Tale: Innocence will be the next title available for free for a week as part of the store’s weekly giveaways. Innocence (which once again, we loved) will be available for free from August 5 to August 12, alongside Double

American Horror Stories conjures inspired scares with a murderous Santa, but falls flat with its vile cast of social media-obsessed Grinches. “We’re not just gonna sit here, Barry. We’re gonna record it.” I love Killer Santas. There’s something absolutely twisted about the perversion of this symbol of purity and childhood innocence, whether it’s through the

Before the Halloweenies head to Hollywood in August for Scream 3, they have some film courses to complete this summer at Windsor College. In June, they visited Mark Rosman’s 1982 American slasher The House on Sorority Row. For July, they’re conjuring Demons. More specifically, Lamberto Bava’s 1985 Italian meta blood bath. Fueled by a star-studded

It was announced tonight that filming is currently underway in Hungary and that The Lair will star Jonathan Howard (Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Skylines, Warner Bros.’ Godzilla

The fascination with nuclear apocalypse as a form of horror is understandable given how the threat of it lingers in the background of our own lives as silent and menacing as radiation itself. The harrowing impact of a radioactive disaster can be seen in gut-punching films such as When the Wind Blows, where the terror

From Scream to Goosebumps and even those annoying little snap bracelets, you’ve got to admit that the 90s were pretty terrifying. However, there’s no doubt in my mind that the scariest thing to come out of that decade was the rise of Reality Television. Quick and cheap to produce while allowing for endless variations of

Epix has rounded out the series regular cast for “From”, its upcoming contemporary sci-fi horror series that unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town in Middle America that traps all those who enter. “As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they also must survive the

Welcome back to Anime Horrors – a column dedicated to exploring new and classic works of anime and manga.  Godzilla adapted into an anime – animated by studio Bones nonetheless- sounds like an excellent idea. Given the release of Godzilla vs. Kong earlier this year, Godzilla: Singular Point comes at a perfect time to satiate the need

True to its name, a documentary documents a subject and provides an examination of it in the process. Horror documentaries usually offer insight, analysis, and context for various aspects of the genre, either on a broad or niche scale. Hail to the Deadites doesn’t seek to provide any new details or analysis of the Evil Dead franchise but instead

The new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife was released this morning, teasing us with the return of Dan Aykroyd‘s “Ray Stantz”. It’s no secret that all four Ghostbusters are set to return, but the trailer is keeping that secret…for now.
