THR notes, “Meanwhile, Altitude has acquired Blood and Honey for the U.K., Mexican chain Cinemex has plans to put it...

Napa Valley’s haunted past will be uncovered in the upcoming documentary Ghosts of Spring Mountain, which is set to explore the so-called “ghost wineries” in the area. The press release teases, “We bet you didn’t realize that Napa Valley is not just the wine capital in the United States but is also the epicenter of real-life ghost stories.  “There have been numerous mysterious and unresolved occurrences at the Spring Mountain Vineyard in Napa Valley, but nobody was brave enough to look into it. Until now… “Fearless acclaimed Sommelier, Claire Coppi, with...

Déjà Vu! We’ve spent spooky season checking in with an infamous psychopathic bisexual, revisiting a horrendous slasher sequel and heaping all the praise on one of the best genre films of the 2010s. Now, we’re celebrating Halloween by heading to the quaint, puritanical town of Fallwell to hang with Elvira in James Signorelli‘s camp classic Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! In the film, horror movie hostess Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) quits her job and plans to open a show in Las Vegas. The only problem is she needs $50,000 to finance...

Horror fans have to start somewhere. You don’t just watch a VHS copy of Cannibal Holocaust and immediately start loving the genre (or at least I hope not), and that’s why Gateway Horror is so important. Like training wheels for spooky media, these stories are meant to introduce audiences to the recurring tropes and iconography of the genre without necessarily resulting in nightmare fuel. That being said, a lot of horror fans mistake that sentiment for Gateway Horror not being allowed to be scary, which simply isn’t true. The ideal...

Created by former Painkiller, Bulletstorm and Gears of War developers, The Unholy is now aiming for release next year (according to the game’s Steam page) for PC and current-gen consoles. We also now have story details: you’re on the search for your young child after they disappear from a run-down, post-Soviet town....

The three minute short sees Chris Redfield teaming up with former partner, Barry Burton, to deal with Albert Wesker once again. If you recall the image that appeared online back in June that featured Kraslavsky as Chris, that was Resident Evil:...

Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” brings back the underrated anthology series host trope that helps celebrate the nature of storytelling. When it comes to the versatile nature of anthology shows, one of the biggest selling points of the genre is that every episode tells a completely original story. It’s easy to get lost in the stories, but the best anthology shows understand that the act of storytelling itself is just as important to the experience. Stories can be found anywhere, but the process of being a storyteller is akin...

A tale as old as time; a Catholic church representative must battle their inner demons to save the soul of a possessed child. Prey for the Devil attempts to retell this tired story with the gimmick of an aspiring female exorcist but never manages to pull together a narrative cohesive or scary enough to rise above a patchwork of familiar possession horror tropes. It’s 2018. Demonic possession cases have become so prevalent that the Catholic Church has created schools with the sole purpose of teaching priests the Rite of Exorcism while nuns...

The Haunted Mask II was originally published in October 1995 (Spine #36). The series adaptation aired on Tuesday, October 29, 1996 (runtime: 22 minutes and 22 minutes). Sequels are part and parcel with the horror genre, inescapably ever-present and all but inevitable when any particularly scary, spooky or otherwise strange property manages to profoundly connect with the world upon which it is unleashed. The Goosebumps franchise was no stranger to sequels, having served up three Monster Bloods, Return of the Mummy and a second Night of the Living Dummy by the...
