While it was once prevalent in ancient cultures as both a religious ceremony and legitimate survival tactic, cannibalism has since become a long-running staple of the horror genre. Sure, there are the occasional real-world tragedies like the crimes of José Luis Calva or the infamous Donner Party incident, but there is certainly no shortage of horror flicks depicting ravenous antagonists with a hunger for human flesh. And with the recent return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, which arguably features the most recognizable cannibal family in all of popular culture,...

The Conjuring, directed by James Wan and written by Chad and Carey W. Hayes, was a runaway success. Made for a budget of $20 million, the film grossed over $319 million worldwide. It was a critical success as well as a financial one, earning multiple Fangoria Chainsaw Awards as well as an array of other prizes and nominations.

Last month, Supermassive Games had apparently trademarked several new titles for the next round of entries in The Dark Pictures Anthology. Now it appears that they’ve trademarked another name with “The Quarry”. Only this time, it’s not related to the series.
