Dario Argento’s latest film Dark Glasses finds the Master of Horror back on (somewhat) solid ground. While Dark Glasses has several classic Giallo elements, in reality, the Italian director has unexpectedly delivered a throwback to the “disabled woman in peril” subgenre that was popular back in the 80s and 90s. Dark Glasses begins in traditional Argento fashion. After our protagonist Diana (Ilenia Pastorelli) drives around Rome before temporarily blinding herself by looking at an eclipse, the action cuts to a female sex worker finishing up with a client, leaving his hotel,...

In the final moments of I Blame Society, Gillian Wallace Horvat goes absolutely apeshift on a couple of film bros. “I am a strong female lead,” she grunts as she wields a blade across the throat of Producer #2. Blood spurts and covers the walls. The screen is coated in thick red plasma, leaving the film title seeping through. That solitary line punctures the graphic violence with sardonic humor, circling back to an earlier conversation when the same film bros eviscerated Gillian’s latest script for not having a compelling enough...

For the first time, the beloved original motion picture soundtrack to 1988’s horror-comedy classic Killers Klowns from Outer Space is now available on vinyl from Waxwork Records! The original score to Killer Klowns From Outer Space is kicked off by the classic 80’s horror movie theme track, Killer Klowns (From Outer Space) by California punk band, The Dickies. The ‘nightmare merry-go-round’ continues with a smattering of menacing electronic brass sections, electric guitar, bombastic drum machine beats, & harpsichord combined with sci-fi synth elements to capture the ultra-specific origins of the antagonists. John Massari‘s score to...

I love the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, wildly inconsistent as it may be, but I was too young to see any of the originals in theaters. I finally got to experience them the way they were meant to be seen when the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA hosted Don’t Fall Asleep: A Nightmare on Elm Street Marathon, an aptly named event featuring all seven films back-to-back from midnight to noon. Sure, I’ve watched them all countless times, and I’m too old for an all-nighter, but the allure of...

There’s no discussing film history without bringing up Stop-Motion Animation. After all, isn’t simulating movement through a succession of incrementally different images a primitive form of stop-motion in and of itself? That’s why this laborious form of animation has existed since the early days of cinema, serving as a creative tool for pioneer filmmakers and eventually growing into its own animated niche. Despite its reputation as a vehicle for raisin-based advertising and nostalgic holiday specials, hardcore fans know that stop-motion isn’t always as cheerful as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or...

What would happen if a ravenous werewolf used a furry convention to hide after amassing a body count? Then you’d have Where Wolf, the new graphic novel from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli. Per Deadline, Where Wolf will release as an exclusive free weekly webcomic on Fangoria.com on Wednesday, July 13. It’s a werewolf whodunnit and a love letter to lycanthrope fans, set in small town Texas. If that’s not enough, the graphic novel has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of...

The Butcher of Mons was a moniker given to a notorious serial killer in Mons, Belgium, who left bags of dismembered women along visible roadsides. As heinously and abruptly as these discoveries began, they ceased in 1997, and the Mons Butcher’s identity remains unknown today. Megalomaniac supposes the atrocious serial killer had offspring that carried on his heritage. It yields extremism, confrontational horror that aims to offend as much as it does evoke wrath, and societal reflection. It’s at once compelling and uncomfortable to watch. Megalomaniac opens with a birthing scene...

John Logan’s Gothic horror drama “Penny Dreadful” retooled classic literary horror figures in a captivating, poignant way by exploring the ethos of monsters. For his directorial feature debut, Logan sets his sights on a familiar horror mainstay: the summer camp slasher. They/Them, pronounced “They-slash-Them,” takes place at an LGBTQIA+ conversion summer camp. It emphasizes its robust ensemble character roster over slasher thrills, making for a more compelling character study than a straightforward horror movie. Save for a requisite opening kill, They/Them immediately unloads a bus full of unwilling and uneager campers at Whistler Camp....

Some of the most unsettling moments in Jordan Peele‘s Nope don’t come from the sky but from the past. Steven Yuen‘s Ricky ‘Jupe’ Park harbors a very traumatic past as a child actor who experienced tragedy on the set of the sitcom “Gordy’s Home!” told in flashbacks. Today Peele took to Twitter to reveal the fictional sitcom’s opening credits, giving more context to Gordy the chimpanzee: pic.twitter.com/gGH6OrtwFW — Jordan Peele (@JordanPeele) July 24, 2022 Some spoilers ahead for Nope. In Jupe’s flashbacks, the sound of a balloon popping during the filming of a birthday-themed...
