Eat my c**t. After looking at two very different types of queer-coded bromances in Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse and Ron Underwood’s Tremors, we took a trip to Poland to analyze the trans allegory in the mermaid horror musical The Lure before heading back into the twisted mind of Clive Barker to discuss his infamous directorial debut, Hellraiser. This week, we’re doing a deep dive into Luca Guadagnino‘s 2018 remake of Dario Argento‘s 1977 classic Suspiria. In the film, Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) is an American woman and former Mennonite who enrolls...

The Munsters are, by design, a comedic reinvention of the classic monsters – Herman is Frankenstein’s monster, Lily is a vampire, Grandpa is Count Dracula, and Eddie is a werewolf – but other interpretations of iconic creatures occasionally made appearances. Before TV’s first family of fright returns in Rob Zombie’s The Munsters, let’s look back at six classic monsters that have appeared in The Munsters Universe up to this point. Creature from the Black Lagoon Despite only appearing on screen for about a minute and a half, Uncle Gilbert is perhaps...

“Just don’t look.” Those three words mean many things to horror fans when put together in a short but sweet sentence. We utter the phrase when watching our favorite movies with someone squeamish. It’s sometimes what we tell ourselves when something gruesome is happening on screen as we play peek-a-boo from behind our fingers. And it’s something we tell those who criticize our love of the genre and don’t understand why we adore it so. If they don’t like it, just don’t look. Jordan Peele is interested in another context...

It looks as if Universal Pictures is already igniting the hype for M. Night Shyamalan‘s forthcoming Knock at the Cabin, his adaptation of Paul Tremblay‘s “The Cabin at the End of the World” that won’t release until 2023. Still, the studio is teasing something that will reveal itself at midnight.

Starring Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead), Rupert Grint (“Servant”) and Nikki...

Two of the greatest and most successful horror films made in the wave that followed the successes of Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1931 were virtually lost for much of the ninety years since their release. It is true that the black and white versions of Doctor X (1932) and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) remained in circulation in various forms for much of that time, but the original Process 2 Technicolor versions were thought to be gone forever or at least damaged beyond repair....

Christopher Young‘s brilliant Hellraiser score is nearly as synonymous with the film as Pinhead — but if writer-director Clive Baker had his way, the soundtrack would have been composed by British industrial music pioneers Coil. Barker first became aware of Coil through Forbidden Planet, the UK’s enduring genre bookshop where band member Stephen Thrower worked. When Barker happened into the store, Thrower mentioned that he was a fan of his Books of Blood, and the two hit it off. Thrower eventually played him some of Coil’s music, and Barker was...
