Hatchet for the Honeymoon doesn’t behave like other gialli. This Italian-Spanish movie does something unconventional at the beginning; the identity of the killer is revealed to the audience. It goes against tradition to spoil the mystery so early, but after feeling restrained while working under producer Dino De Laurentiis only a year earlier, director Mario Bava sought a fresh start in 1968. This almost forgotten movie was that creative reset, though it wouldn’t be until years later that everyone better appreciated this late entry in Bava’s unique oeuvre. After taking...

Before listening to this week’s discussion, be sure to dive into last week’s episode of Horror Bytes: our indie showcase show! In Space, no one can hear you stomp. Space horror has always scratched a similar terrifying itch for me, not unlike aquatic horror. Both settings are inherently isolating, and inhospitable locals are shrouded in darkness, concealing god knows what kind of terrors. The lack of oxygen is also slightly problematic. And while Dead Space certainly wasn’t the first to capitalize on the volatility of space, it was one of...

Gaspar Noé‘s harrowing, unforgettable movie Irreversible celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and Studiocanal is bringing the film back to life with Noe’s new “Straight Cut,” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival back in 2019. The “Straight Cut” of the 2002 movie re-cuts the film in chronological order, chopping five minutes off the runtime in the process. According to Noe, the “Straight Cut” is “another film” entirely, and it’ll be opening theatrically on February 10th at the IFC Center/NYC and the Landmark’s Nuart/LA. Additional Openings include… Philadelphia – 2/14...

In this first look clip, which features horror icon Jeffrey Combs, “Onyx and a group of occultists arrive at Bartok’s mansion to find a grim surprise waiting for them.” Head over to Sundance for details on Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls’ premiere screenings, and stay tuned for our...

Indie filmmaker Onur Tukel (Summer of Blood, Applesauce, Catfight) has a lot to say in his latest, Poundcake, a horror satire that mixes slasher with political discourse. Fans of Tukel know that his films have always been heavy on commentary, and this one is sure to get a rise out of people. In the film, there’s a madman loose in New York City. Late at night, he stalks the streets looking for straight white men to punish. When he finds them, he kills them in unspeakable ways. Tukel stars alongside...

Almost a year after Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday sent the infamous Mr. Voorhees into the not-so-sweet hereafter, the third book in Berkley’s Camp Crystal Lake series was published. At the time, it wasn’t clear when Jason would be back on the big screen, but his story continued in random books (not novelizations) and comics until the kinks in a long-delayed crossover movie — eventually Freddy vs. Jason — could be worked out. However, the problem fans had with Goes to Hell could also be an issue with...

TNT‘s series adaptation of Bong Joon Ho’s “Snowpiercer” (which was based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob) kicked off back in 2020, with three seasons aired between 2020 and 2022. The show’s fourth season has been filmed, but in a strange twist of fate we’ve learned this week that it won’t actually be airing on TNT at all. Deadline reports, “Snowpiercer, the only remaining original scripted series on TNT, is done on the Warner Bros. Discovery network. The post-apocalyptic drama’s completed fourth and final season will not run on the...

In spite of the awesome news regarding Peacock’s Friday The 13th series, those pesky issues regarding the license have reared their head again. In this case, it’s in regards to Blue Wizard Digital’s Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle, which is slated to be removed from all digital platforms later this month. The devs took to their official site to relay the news that due to the inability to renew the license with the licensors, they are now required to wind down sales of Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle. The game will...

An unattainable ideal, perfection is out of reach for any artist, whether they are composing a symphony, developing a prestige TV show, or writing an epic novel. Even those who are assumed to be masters of their respective crafts have to compromise from time to time. Not to mention, they are also susceptible to plain old human error. Scorsese movies are beset with glaring continuity blunders, Mark Twain infamously glossed over a confusing typo in Huckleberry Finn and, if you want to be a stickler for anatomy, then Michelangelo’s David...

After 14 years, the Friday the 13th franchise is finally getting set to return to the screen with “Crystal Lake,” an upcoming prequel series from A24, Peacock and Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) that’s miraculously able to use any and all existing elements from the franchise. Peacock has given the project a straight-to-series order, with “Crystal Lake” being described as an “expanded prequel” to the original Friday the 13th franchise. Variety had detailed, “The show will be written by Bryan Fuller, who is also the showrunner and an executive producer. Victor Miller, who penned...

Elvira, the nationally syndicated horror hostess and Queen of Halloween, is here just in time for Friday the thirteenth. The launch follows previous Skullector sellout drops of Universal Monsters’...

Fay Wray began her autobiography On the Other Hand with an open letter to her most famous co-star. In it she said, “for more than half a century, you have been the most dominant figure in my public life. To speak of me is to think of you. To speak to me is often a prelude to questions about you.” This most dominant figure was of course the mighty King Kong and the film they appeared in together is unquestionably the best remembered in Wray’s career. She went on to...
