From highly-anticipated theatrical releases to knockout indie debuts and even some massively under-the-radar titles, 2022’s best horrors deliver on variety. As a refresher and to ensure great movies...

About a year after The Blair Witch Project took the box office by storm in 1999, Random House started publishing a series of tie-in novels in conjunction with Artisan Entertainment. The first film’s production designer and the director of two related features, Ben Rock, was also consulted about geography and lore. And to help reinforce the “based on true events” quality of Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez’s story, the author of The Blair Witch Files is Heather Donahue’s teenage cousin, Cade Merrill. This is a clever way of disguising the fact...

The first official “American Horror Story” spinoff, Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Stories” returns for Season 2 on July 21, and FX on Hulu has unleashed the teaser trailer this afternoon. The “American Horror Stories” Season 2 teaser is filled with human-doll hybrids, suggesting that the new season will be going heavy on the creepy doll imagery. Then again, you never really know with “American Horror Story,” as early teasers can be deceiving… Today’s teaser trailer doesn’t appear to feature any actual footage from “American Horror Stories” Season 2, so it’s...

Since the dawn of the first horror movie, there have been genre fans yelling at the screen and criticizing ill-fated characters, often claiming that they would have made better decisions in their place. That’s why it’s only natural that the eventual rise of videogames would lead to digital media attempting to repackage that scary movie experience with an interactive twist. While we’re still a far cry from the completely immersive virtual reality that was promised to us by science fiction, interactive horror movies have come a long way since the...

Monolith Productions’ Blood is obviously a favourite of many PC gamers enthralled with 90s first-person shooters. And Nightdive Studio’s remaster of the game in Blood: Fresh Supply only further cemented the game as one of the most fun shooters a horror fan could play. And now Limited Run is getting in on the fun with their newly-announced Collector’s Edition, which is set to go on sale this Friday.

The world is loud, and it is only getting louder. Escaping the noise outside can seem impossible, especially when living in an urban environment. But as anyone who frequents them knows, libraries are a haven from all the bustle. While they have evolved to be more like community centers, libraries still encourage guests to keep their voices down. Near silence is preferred, yet sometimes being too quiet and too alone is unnerving. Maybe even scary. At the wrong time of night, a library takes on a whole other identity. These five episodes...

Venom was an unprecedented move for video-game adaptations when Dimension Films acquired rights to an unproduced game in 2003. Developers Flint Dille and John Zuur Platten said their concept for Backwater was “ready-made to become a horror film as well as a game,” and players were positioned to be “the prey of a modern-day boogieman” named Mr. Jangles. It was not a lot to go on, but producer Kevin Williamson and director Jim Gillespie were confident this was the beginning of a new horror franchise. Fast forward to 2005, and...

Adult Swim‘s mini-series “Uzumaki,” based on the supernatural horror manga by legendary author Junji Ito, was announced way back in 2019, and alas, it has been delayed again. The reason for the delay, however, is a good one. An update shared to Twitter this afternoon explains, “Unfortunately, the premiere of the series must again be delayed. In order to replicate the quality of the intricate designs and detailed line work of Mr. Ito’s classic manga, Director Hiroshi Nagahama and the production team have asked for additional time to recreate Ito’s masterpiece properly.”...
