Robert Cargill return to horror with their brand new Blumhouse horror movie The Black Phone, an adaptation of Joe Hill‘s short story. The Black Phone comes to theaters on Friday, February 4, 2022, and the film features Ethan Hawke as a killer who wears a mask designed by Tom Savini and his team!

Editor’s Note: Joe Lipsett had previously reviewed the show’s first three episodes. Belief is a gray element within life – belief can inspire good or evil. Belief can allow us to find hope or stir others with fear. In the wrong hands, people can craft belief into a weapon. The latter is very much at

The empowerment of arming the player has always been somewhat of a conundrum for the horror genre.  While necessary to the player’s survival, the inevitable firepower bestowed upon the player can be detrimental to the carefully crafted horror elements.  So, what happens when the player is stripped of that empowerment and trades in their gun

NECA recently announced that they’ve acquired the license to make action figures based on the ’90s animated series “Gargoyles,” which was produced by Walt Disney Television and centered on literal stone gargoyles that come to life and transform into protectors of NYC at night. Three seasons were produced in total, with fans frequently still begging for

Throughout my time playing Dying Light 2 Stay Human, I felt drawn into the world. Everything from the monsters I faced to the NPCs I interacted with all came together to create this authentic apocalyptic setting. Humanity’s struggle to survive against these horrific creatures and each other moved me, especially considering the more emotional writing and

Originally slated for a December 31st launch, developer OverBorder Studio and Team17 have announced that their upcoming action RPG Thymesia has been delayed into 2022. It’s not all bad news, however, as the developer announced via a new trailer that the game will be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, in addition

Heading into the weekend, I had a blast reading all the box office reports, especially the ones that declared Ghostbusters: Afterlife (read our review) a failure even before it opened. Early tracking for the brand new Ghostbusters was targeting $28M-$35M, and because the estimates were less than the 2016 remake directed by Paul Feig (it

Enough… is never enough. The late Larry Cohen tackled American marketing and consumerism with 1985’s The Stuff, centered on a dessert sensation that begins consuming the consumers. The film has been released to home video at various different points over the years, most recently on Blu-ray by Arrow Video, but it seems a never-before-seen version

I admit: I was only a casual Buffy the Vampire Slayer viewer. During the show’s run (1997-2003), I tuned it on occasion, finding great delight in Sarah Michelle Gellar’s wonderfully empowering turn as the titular vampire hunter, but it was never an obsession among my core group of friends. I have, of course, come around

Remember when Ecto Cooler made its triumphant return to store shelves for Ghostbusters back in 2016? Well the beloved pop culture beverage is also coming back to life as a tie-in with Jason Reitman’s brand new movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife… in a much more limited capacity. The official Hi-C account just tweeted a fun retro-style commercial

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 role.

The wait is finally over for console fans waiting to sink their teeth (sorry) into Ziggurat Interactive’s remasters of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2. Both ReVamped titles are now available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The games were originally released on PC last year as with the Terminal Cut. On top of

After giving fans a treat last month with the concept art for their upcoming horror adventure title Bramble: The Mountain King, developer Dimfrost Studio has released a new trailer showcasing the title’s gameplay. The trailer shows off some of the gameplay mechanics, including the game’s combat, stealth, as well as the environmental puzzles you’ll encounter.

Scene Screams is a recurring column that spotlights the scenes in horror that make us scream, whether through fear, laughter, or tears. It examines the most memorable, and often scariest, scenes in horror and what it is about them that makes them get under our skin.  Comedy and horror make excellent bedfellows because of their similarities.

A Bloody Disgusting favorite, Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You, V/H/S/94) has been hired to direct a remake of the South Korean zombie epic Train to Busan for New Line Cinema, we had learned earlier this year. The film, however, will not be titled Train to Busan. Instead, Deadline notes, it’s

The mission has gone to Hell. A gory monster movie titled Death Valley is on the way to Shudder for the holiday season, we’ve learned tonight, and it looks especially suited to fans of Resident Evil. Featuring a practical creature, this one looks to be ripped from the same cloth as the upcoming reboot Resident

A spinoff of the Brendan Fraser-starring Mummy franchise, 2002’s The Scorpion King starred Dwayne Johnson as Mathayus, the titular Scorpion King, spawning its own film franchise that to date includes five installments. Johnson returned for precisely none of them, but he will be on board as producer for a brand new reboot on the way from Universal Pictures. As we

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States.

Spontaneous Comburst. We’re only a few weeks into November, but we’re not letting the post-Halloween doldrums get us down. After celebrating our 150th (!!!) episode last week with The Lost Boys, we’re dedicating this week to a whole different anniversary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s amazing musical episode, “Once More, With Feeling,” which turned 20 last week.

Is Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? It’s a question that inevitably gets asked on social media every year, and the reason there’s even a debate at all is because, well, it’s of course both! The beauty of the stop-motion animated classic is

The noise that 200 Stab Wounds have been making is far from subtle. The Cleveland, Ohio death metal outfit are relatively new to the scene – having formed in 2020 – but have been rattling the underground. Their impressive EP Piles of Festering Decomposition bursts with ferocious sounding riffs and pummeling presentation. Compared to other
