Paramount Pictures sent us into the weekend with a trio of Scream posters that celebrated the legacy characters – Courteney Cox‘s Gale Weathers, Neve Campbell‘s Sidney Prescott, and David Arquette‘s Dewey Riley – each of them holding the iconic Ghostface mask that has been terrorizing them since the 90s. The series of posters was a lead up to this weekend’s release of nine more, all of them teasing that Ghostface is always someone you know.

Being the metalcore force that they’ve been for more than three decades, Converge has always been interested in experimentation. The band’s most iconic release, Jane Doe (which came out 20 years ago), is a testament to that; going beyond the realm of hardcore song structure, Converge laid out an experience that hammers and throttles away with technical madness, fusing ambiance and ferocity into one. While innovation has remained an essential element within the band’s music, their latest collaborative release makes for one of the strongest examples of what they are...

Per DSOGaming, the developer has drawn up a Change.org petition in an attempt to gain enough signatures to convince Warner...

As is in life, first impressions are important. And as a result, launch titles carry more weight than most console releases. Not only ushering in a new console cycle, but the games available on Day 1 should be a snippet of the future of that cycle. And for the Xbox 360, that Day 1 horrifying look into the future was Condemned: Criminal Origins. Not only a horror game from Monolith Productions, but a more hardcore one than the action hybrid of say F.E.A.R. Condemned not only looked gorgeous, evoking attention...

Backing up a bit. According to Matt McKnight, VP of business development at Saber, the team was faced with a dilemma with the multiplayer code. The original code had been...

When it comes to classic horror, the Universal and Hammer monster movies come immediately to mind. Next, perhaps the Amicus anthologies or the films Val Lewton produced for RKO in the 1940s. But there is another great classic franchise worth consideration. The series of films directed by Roger Corman in the early 60s that have become known collectively as The Poe Cycle are a truly unique series of films. Though period films, absolutely dripping with gothic atmosphere, most utilize modern, experimental film techniques. Though they never explicitly reference the fall...
