The films will expand directly on the shorts from the “Bite Size Halloween” collection, featuring previous writers or directors, or inspired by past shorts.

Released in 1987, Adrian Lyne’s Fatal Attraction is the latest movie to get its own television series, with Paramount officially ordering the project to series for Paramount+.

Looking a bit like Jacob Chase’s Come Play, Shudder is getting set to unleash Slapface next month, a brand new Shudder Original monster movie that got an official trailer this afternoon. In the film, premiering February 3, 2022… “After the death of his mother, Lucas, a loner who lives in a rundown home with his brother Tom, regularly seeks solace in the nearby woods.

HBO‘s “The Last of Us” television series is currently filming, with Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) starring in the series as Joel and Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) as Ellie. Additionally, Deadline reports this afternoon that Storm Reid (Euphoria, A Wrinkle in Time) has been cast in the role of Riley, a character fans of the game should be familiar with. Deadline explains, “Reid will guest star as Riley Abel. She is an orphaned girl growing up in post-apocalyptic Boston. In The Last of Us: Left Behind, a DLC to the original video game, Riley (originally voiced by...

The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer. My personal favorites when it comes to this type of mayhem are that of Puppet Combo’s games; in gems like Babysitter Bloodbath and Murder House, you must run for your life as a mad killer tries to hunt you and butcher you. It’s very much in-tune with a slasher gem such as Scream. But though such games give me a rush, there is something more I long for from titles involving serial killers.  For a...

Scream‘s Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley have endured countless stabs and gunshot wounds between them, enduring and outlasting multiple Ghostface encounters across four movies spanning twenty-five years. Now they’re back once again to help a new generation fend off Ghostface. It’s safe to say that no one knows these characters or this franchise quite like Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. With Sidney, Gale, and Dewey now older and wiser, how much of that comes from the script versus the actors knowing these characters inside and out?...

With so many co-op monster shooters arriving in recent times, The Anacrusis already has a job in standing out, but it’s already laying some impressive groundwork for the future as it begins life in Early Access. Will it end up being a Big Bang or a Black Hole? Unlike many of its genre pals, The Anacrusis shuns the Left 4 Dead infected Earth apocalypse route in favor of a funky retro sci-fi vibe where crazed aliens are the new horde and a space station (the titular Anacrusis) is the place...

First-person Yokai-heavy horror game Ikai certainly likes to keep you busy from the off, but is it too much busywork? It certainly distracted me from a strong setup. Set in feudal Japan, Ikai concerns a young priestess named Naoko. She’s heard whispers of ancient evil creeping through the forests where she lives, but has dismissed it as nothing more than childish babbling by easily scared civilians. Naoko is about to find out there’s every reason to listen to that babbling. The woods are dark and full of monsters. The Gods...

In case you thought we had exhausted ourselves on all things Scream after spending four hours(!!!) discussing Scream 4 last week, think again! In a special Horror Queers bonus episode, Joe and I have Scream scribe Kevin Williamson on the line in celebration of the new film, which hits theaters today! The Scream franchise, while beloved, is not without its share of behind-the-scenes drama in the 25 years of its existence. From a rushed production (and script leaks) in Scream 2 to a script that was taken away from him in Scream 4,...
