The year’s robust horror releases aren’t exclusive to movies; it’s also been a banner year for horror on television. 2022 kicked off with the final three episodes of Showtime’s must see “Yellowjackets,“ setting the bar high for horror TV in 2022. In its critically acclaimed wake, other horror shows more than delivered with new seasons of ongoing genre favorites, surprising adaptations of familiar novels, breathtaking feats in anthology storytelling, and so much more. Here are Bloody Disgusting’s top 10 best horror TV series of 2022. Shining Vale The inaugural season...

He did it before with Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, and he’s doing it again with Super Castlevania IV. YouTuber Lord Kayoss is back again with another mini-doc/playthrough, this time going over Konami’s 1991 classic for the Super Nintendo. As before with his other videos, Kayoss runs through Super Castlevania IV in a full walkthrough, sprinkling in some trivia/opinions throughout. In fact, it makes for a nice companion piece to our own retrospective of the game from two years ago (shameless plug, I know). Just in case you’ve never played the...

The mark of a memorable acting performance is decided by a number of different factors. How well can you display the intended emotion of the scene? Were the strengths of your performance tailored to make the audience scared? Depressed? Joyful? How about a jack of all trades performance that accomplished all of the above and more?  Horror is a genre that has the luxury of spanning different tones and subgenres – a messy melting pot chock-full of quality on-screen performances. The kind of work demonstrative of the strengths present in...

New Queer’s Eve. It’s been a pretty wild December, with us covering off-kilter films like the much-maligned Batman & Robin, the not-as-bad-as-you-think Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings and the Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins-penned murder mystery The Last of Sheila. Now we’re wrapping up the year with a discussion of Carter Smith‘s (The Ruins, Jamie Marks is Dead) Into the Dark entry “Midnight Kiss“! In the film, a group of friends (Augustus Prew, Scott Evans, Lukas Gage, Chester Lockhart, Adam Faison and Ayden Mayeri) gather at a beautiful desert resort on New Year’s...

I am here to help save you some time and effort with some horror films that will give you the best excuses to just forgo the New Year’s resolutions this year and live...

Two performers defined horror in 2022: Jenna Ortega and Mia Goth. No others quite compare to the sheer emotional brawn both actors brought to the screen. While they have each been working for years in various TV and film roles, the stars aligned over the last 12 months to catapult them into the stratosphere. From Goth’s stunning turn in Pearl to Ortega’s career-making performance as Wednesday Addams, the breadth of work on display is unmatched. Their magnetism is unequivocal. They have a talent of outlining full-bodied characters with bright definition...

Although they aim to provoke contrary emotional responses, horror and comedy needn’t be mutually exclusive. Granted, they are strange bedfellows but can pair together nicely under the right circumstances. Indeed, some of our most beloved scary movies also happen to be quite effective rib ticklers. Even if you discount those that occupy the realm of explicit parody (like Zombieland or What We Do in the Shadows), there are still plenty of genuine horror flicks out there that have a good sense of humour. For whatever reason, this was especially common...

Bitchy, Bickering Bitches. It’s been a pretty wild December, with us covering off-kilter films like the much-maligned Batman & Robin and the not-as-bad-as-you-think Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. Now for a special holiday treat, we’re covering Herbert Ross‘ 1973 mystery The Last of Sheila, which not only inspired Rian Johnson’s Knives Out (review) and Glass Onion (review), but was also the only screenwriting collaboration between famous queers Anthony Perkins (yes, that one) and Stephen Sondheim (yes, that one)! In the film, movie producer Clinton Greene (James Coburn) invites a group of...
