In 2019, the first iteration of Mothership, now known as 0e, won several awards at the Ennies, one of the biggest awards in the tabletop RPG space. A couple years later, they ran a massively successful Kickstarter campaign for a print run, earning over $1.4 million. Not only did this include updated 1e rules, but

The bar wasn’t very high to clear, but Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1 did manage to break a box office record here in 2024, achieving the highest opening weekend at the domestic box office out of any horror movie released this year… so far. This despite largely negative reviews, once again proving that the horror

Being a vampire in a tabletop RPG is nothing new. With Paint The Town Red (not to be confused with South East Games’ beat ’em up of the same name), SoulMuppet Publishing aims to go deeper than the usual tropes, exploring themes of trauma, vice and loneliness. Created by Zachary Cox (Orbital Blues, Inevitable, Best

For the 36th year, Discovery Channel’s beloved, week-long annual celebration known as “Shark Week” is once again swimming our way, set to kick off on Sunday, July 7, 2024! Discovery Channel has announced this week that WWE superstar / “Peacemaker” star John Cena will be hosting “Shark Week,” which has been lighting up your summer since 1988.

Three horror powerhouses are coming together for The Monkey, an adaptation of the Stephen King story that’s being produced by James Wan and directed by Osgood Perkins. Deadline reports this weekend that NEON has acquired the movie “following a multi-buyer tug of war,” further establishing themselves as horror powerhouses in their own right. “Multiple U.S. distributors came in hot for the

Welcome back to DEAD Time. Even if you’ve only dabbled in the paranormal, chances are you’re familiar with John E.L. Tenney. Tenney is one of the most sought-after and well-known experts in the world and has more than 30 years of experience with UFOs, paranormal research, occult phenomena, and conspiracy theories. He has authored over

Director Coralie Fargeat (Revenge) is back this year with brand new body horror movie The Substance, and the first look teaser trailer was debuted over on Deadline this morning. The teaser runs just 40-seconds long – and you’ll have to head over to Deadline to watch it – but it gives us our first look

In a world where over-polished corporate products dominate the media landscape while the ever-growing threat of AI-generated “art” haunts the horizon, I can’t help but remember a story about how Wes Anderson insisted on using real fur on the stop-motion puppets of his animated opus, Fantastic Mr. Fox. When the animators complained that using fur

Horror fans looking to test their mettle should take note of director Caye Casas‘s The Coffee Table. Horror master Stephen King recently said of the pitch-black tragicomedy, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny.” That sums up this grim movie

What the Fog wasn’t the only new announcement during the 8th anniversary livestream for Dead by Daylight . Behaviour Interactive is pulling out another out of nowhere crossover this time with Dungeons & Dragons. On top of that, fans will be treated to a Castlevania Chapter later in the year, as well as the long-awaited 2v8

Home invasion has been a part of horror movies practically from the beginning. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Nosferatu (1922), Dracula, and Frankenstein (1931) all included moments of attackers entering homes uninvited and terrorizing unsuspecting victims. Home invasion as a sub-genre unto itself came a bit later, as the suburbs sprung up and a

If you’ve been to your local movie theater in the last several weeks you might’ve seen a trailer for Longlegs that was longer than the ones we’ve been getting online, with the latest trailer for NEON’s new horror movie being split into two parts here on the internet. But that full theatrical trailer, which had

They say comedians can shift to dramatic acting relatively easily because making something funny is harder than making it sad, so if you’re in comedy, you’ve clearly got the chops. For Ana Gasteyer, add “making it creepy” to the resume because her stint on Celebrity Ghost Stories is one of its best, partly due to

After announcing Amanda The Adventurer would be coming to PlayStation, Xbox and mobile devices later this year, DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games have announced that the previously-announced sequel, the aptly-named Amanda the Adventurer 2, will be arriving later this year on Steam, as well. Not only that, but the sequel will also be getting its

We learned earlier this week that “Hannibal” creator Bryan Fuller is no longer the showrunner of A24 and Peacock’s Friday the 13th TV series “Crystal Lake,” with A24 choosing to “go a different way with the material.” What does that mean? It means A24 is still planning on bringing a Friday the 13th series to

Ten years strong, Legendary’s Monsterverse is now an expansive story universe of cross-platform experiences, and in the wake of the massive box office success of this year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, a sixth installment in the saga has been officially confirmed! The Hollywood Reporter tells us this afternoon that Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the long-awaited 28 Years Later horror sequel trilogy, and the first film in that new trilogy now has a release date. 28 Years Later arrives in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony. Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black) has joined the previously announced Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the

A24 is aiming to recreate the breakout success of last year’s Talk to Me by reuniting with Causeway Films (Talk to Me) and Ari Aster’s Square Peg (Hereditary) for a feature length adaptation of Masha Ko‘s Sundance short film The Looming. Masha Ko will write and direct The Looming. About the short film: “When a

Jay Hernandez, known for his roles in films including Hostel and Suicide Squad, will make his feature directorial debut with the horror movie Night Comes, we’ve learned today. Impossible Dream Entertainment and Canada-based production and financing outfit Big Picture Cinema Group are teaming to produce the new feature horror thriller, which will star Dafne Keen

This week has brought a lot of confusion about “Crystal Lake,” A24, Peacock and Bryan Fuller’s (“Hannibal”) television series expansion of the Friday the 13th franchise. While reports and rumors spread about A24 pulling the plug on the series, we told you on Monday that that’s not exactly the case. Rather, the project is being retooled behind the

The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS! A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website. Josh

“This is going to be a messy story, and you probably won’t believe it. But it’s messy because it’s true, and the truth is always messy.” Thus begins It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This, a unique found footage effort that filmmakers Rachel Kempf and Nick Toti have vowed to never release on physical media

When done well, found footage horror makes for one of the most immersive and unnerving viewing experiences. The inherent naturalism tends to make the horror feel more plausible and real. Found footage horror doesn’t need a huge budget or recognizable names among the cast to induce chills, either, and the lo-fi visuals only further add to

Originally planned for release last year, Toplitz Productions’ upcoming survival adventure title Serum will instead launch in Early Access on Steam on May 23. The announcement comes alongside the release of a new cinematic trailer for the game per IGN. Serum will remain in Early Access for a period of “roughly twelve months”. The new

Initially revealed last July, PQube and developer Electric Monkeys’ gothic horror survival title When the Light Dies is out now in Early Access on Steam. Complementing the release is a new trailer/gameplay guide. According to the press release, Electric Monkeys plans on having the roguelike to be fully released in September 2024. According to the

We’re zapping into science fiction territory and back into “re-adaptation” conversations this month for Revenge of the Remakes. Don Siegel and Philip Kaufman bring vastly different approaches to their Invasion of the Body Snatchers films, uniformly citing Jack Finney’s 1954 novel “The Body Snatchers” as their source. Kaufman isn’t directly remaking Siegel’s film but acknowledges

Some tabletop roleplaying games are meant for you to create your own character and lead them on an open-ended journey with a personal arc that you craft through a combination of interactions with your fellow players and the roll of the dice. Eat the Reich, the latest game from writer Grant Howitt and artist Will

New shark movies these days often come with an overwhelming, not to mention frustrating sense of déjà vu. That’s largely because filmmakers have resigned themselves to rehashing the same ideas, over and over again. Something in the Water treads familiar waters, seeing as the characters here also find their vacation in ruins once they leave

Writers/Directors Spenser Cohen & Anna Halberg keep it simple with the PG-13 horror movie Tarot. Instead of a cold open to hook audiences on the horror, Tarot launches straight into introducing the group of seven friends partaking in a party weekend at an isolated manor. It’s there that they dabble with things they shouldn’t, setting in motion a

This year marks the 45th anniversary of Don Coscarelli’s horror classic Phantasm, and Coscarelli returns to that iconic universe with his brand new book PHICTION: Tales from the World of Phantasm. PHICTION explores characters and stories from the Phantasm universe, with an introduction by best-selling author Joe R. Lansdale (Bubba Ho-Tep). In the wake of a hardcover limited edition version of PHICTION being put
