Good Vs. Evil. Where do you stand? CBS All Access and director Josh Boone‘s (The New Mutants) new adaptation of Stephen King‘s “The Stand” will premiere on CBS All Access on December 17, with new episodes of the 9-episode limited series arriving on a weekly basis. A full trailer is likely on the way very soon, but in the meantime

Over ten years ago, Bryan Bertino made waves with his bleak debut, The Strangers, which set a high bar for home invasion horror. His subsequent films confirmed his trademark style- nihilistic horror uninterested in tidy answers and happy endings. His latest, The Dark and the Wicked, harkens back to his debut in terms of pessimism, simplicity,

The majority of movies that had been set for release in 2020 became the victims of unfortunate circumstance when the COVID-19 pandemic made its way across the world early in the year, with many pushed off the calendar completely. Others were released right before theaters were forced to close their doors or are now coming

From atomic monsters to “nature attacks” features, horror has long explored humankind’s effect on the environment. As natural disasters seem to be on the upswing, it’s no surprise that eco-based horror is also on the rise. The latest centers around fracking, the controversial technique in which water, sand, and chemicals are injected into shale rock

Before the entire franchise comes to Scream Factory Blu-ray this October, Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) is kicking off the weekend with an all-day Friday the 13th marathon!

It’s hard to pin down what kind of film The Block Island Sound is, but that’s actually a large part of its appeal. The film hails from siblings Kevin & Matthew McManus, who were responsible for Netflix’s short-lived two season wonder American Vandal. Anyone familiar with that surprisingly smart and complex series won’t be surprised to

Huge, most excellent news heading into the weekend with Orion’s highly anticipated Bill & Ted Face the Music now in theaters/drive-ins and on VOD platforms. Being a massive Wyld Stallyns fan myself, I’ve been watching all streaming platforms for a deal on the entire Bill & Ted trilogy. Just today, all three films (finally) appeared

In addition to a brand new Fright Rags collection, Trick ‘r Treat is also getting a new collection of tricks and treats from Cavity Colors, including one of the coolest t-shirts to date. The highlight of the new Cavity Colors collection is a Trick ‘r Treat t-shirt featuring Michael Dougherty‘s original Sam artwork from the

More often than not, there’s safety in numbers. Being alone can make you vulnerable to predators, human or otherwise. If you’re female, traveling alone at night can be downright perilous. The fittingly titled Alone takes that concept and runs with it. The latest by director John Hyams (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) puts its central character

Iconic horror magazine Fangoria has once again found itself revived from the dead under new ownership, with a press release tonight announcing that Wanderwell Entertainment CEO and Tragedy Girls producer Tara Ansley and Abhi Goel have joined forces to purchase the brand.

The marketing campaign for Netflix and Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Bly Manor” kicked off earlier this week with an official poster debut, and we’re pretty sure that means the first trailer isn’t far behind. But first up, the show’s official Twitter account tweeted out a faux vintage “Help Wanted” ad today, and on it

Horror comes in many guises and forms, with many takes on the genre feeding off of our own personal fears and aversions. From the guts and gore of splatter cinema to eerie tellings of the paranormal, there’s plenty of ways to harvest the screams of fear-loving fans. There is, however, one guaranteed method of unnerving

The OP released the 600-question Horror Movie Edition of Trivial Pursuit back in 2018, and evil gets an upgrade with Trivial Pursuit: Horror Ultimate Edition, now available! The official press release details… Only the most hardened horror fanatics will dare to play this terrifying edition of the classic trivia game. Players will move around the

I’ve had a passion for found-footage ever since I first laid eyes on The Blair Witch Project. I don’t think there’s any other sub-genre out there that can reduce filmmaking to its bare essentials and still craft highly effective stories that are just as impactful in your living room or laptop as they are on

“A Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, England” (Wikipedia), Dennis Nilsen died in prison back in 2018, and this year the real-life monster is being brought to the screen in the ITV drama series “Des.” Nilsen will be played David Tennant, who is damn near unrecognizable

Judy (Chet Siegel) and her band, Duh, have many great opportunities on the horizon. They’ve just quit their jobs so they can embark on their first-ever tour. They may even be opening for one of their favorite artists, who happens to be a very important record exec. As long as nothing gets in the way,

A gory good time, Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion‘s home invasion action-thriller Becky (read Meagan’s review) was released onto Digital outlets and in drive-in theaters back in June, and we’ve learned this week that a physical media release isn’t far behind. Becky will hit DVD and Blu-ray on September 15. Pre-order your copy today. “The film centers on rebellious

Horror remakes often get a bad rap. For fans, nothing draws ire as fast as a remake announcement of a highly regarded original. In other words, there’s immense pressure for any filmmaker attempting to approach a beloved property with their own vision. But while there have been plenty of maligned horror remakes over the years,

The marketing campaign for Netflix and “The Haunting of Hill House” mastermind Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Bly Manor” has officially kicked off this morning, with the streaming service debuting the first official poster art and announcing a Fall 2020 arrival.

With Wasteland 3 hitting on August 28, inXile Entertainment has released a new trailer that explores one of the more intriguing aspects of the latest entry in the post-nuclear roleplaying series: Co-operative play.

With all of the new and upcoming videogame-to-board game adaptations, there was bound to be a snag somewhere. Unfortunately for Metal Gear Solid fans, that snag has happened to them. The publisher for the upcoming board game, IDW Games, has announced that their adaptation has been delayed from this Summer (what’s left of it, really)

“I’m vengeance.” The main event of the virtual DC FanDome event is here, with the first official trailer for the Matt Reeves-directed The Batman making its way onto the internet tonight. And this is, much to our surprise and delight, no short-and-sweet little tease for the movie. Rather, DC puts a smile on our face

If you took The Village and Rosemary’s Baby and tossed them into a blender, you’d have the moody aesthetic of The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw. An opening text scroll delivers setup exposition about an isolated settlement established in the late 1800s and the briefest history overview. The most important note is that a child was birthed in secret to a

We’d known for a little while now that we’d be seeing two new DC video games at its FanDome event this weekend. One, which will be revealed later, is Batman: Arkham series developer’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game, the other is Warner Bros Montreal’s long-rumored Batman game, which we now know officially is

Announced at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, 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 title role.

The main series lasted three seasons and we’ve learned tonight that Showtime’s brand new spinoff series “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” is saying goodbye after just one. Variety first broke the news that “City of Angels” has been cancelled. “Showtime has decided not to move forward with another season of ‘Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,’”

The Reckoning is a period film set in 1665 during the Great Plague in England. The opening text provides the context and also introduces the concept of Witch Finders, individuals who have been granted nearly unlimited power to retain, interrogate, and punish individuals who are accused – and inevitability found guilty – of witchcraft. The

Last year, we told you about developer LKA’s first-person thriller Martha is Dead, which has now seen its release pushed to 2021. It’s not all bad news, mind you, as the team has announced that in addition to a Steam release, the title will be headed to the Xbox Series X. We also get a

Written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Clint Langley, the American Reaper and Reaper Files graphic novels are getting a feature adaptation from Amblin Partners, we’ve learned.
