The telepathically connected newcomers arrive in Seabrook as Zed and Addison begin their final year at Seabrook High in...

Would you look at that? The Thing turns the big 4-0 this week. John Carpenter’s incredible sci-fi masterpiece, which most of the public brushed off in its initial release, has gone on to become one of the most beloved horror movies of all time. We’re not here to talk about that though. I’m here to take you on a journey back to the lesser known video game from 2002 and how it (at the time) was one of the more ambitious “next-generation” games of all. Around the turn of the...

Decades have done nothing to diminish the impact of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, the grim serial killer thriller that launched the careers of star Michael Rooker and director John McNaughton. Now the pair are looking to do it again with the vigilante film Road Rage. Per Deadline, Road Rage is intended to be the first in a series. The film “will center on a serial killer who only kills those who deserve to die—presenting a modern hero who is a bad guy gone good, protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty.” “I’d wanted to work with...

Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) is back with The Black Phone, which is headed exclusively to theaters on June 24. The film’s official Dolby Cinema poster has been revealed tonight, and it comes courtesy of Creepy Duck Design! Much like Creepy Duck’s poster for this year’s Scream, this was originally fan-made poster art that has now become official. There’s a retro feel to Creepy Duck’s take on The Black Phone, spotlighting Ethan Hawke‘s “The Grabber” and bathing him in a sinister crimson red. Check out the poster below! The Black Phone is...

John Carpenter‘s The Thing captures the exhaustive toll of paranoia and mistrust when a shape-shifting alien enters the ranks of an Antarctic research facility completely isolated and stranded by harsh weather conditions. The eponymous Thing could be anyone at any time, especially if its victim broke away from the group for even a moment. Carpenter used this to his advantage, switching tactics and surprising the viewer repeatedly through shocking reveals. The pinnacle of this mastery is found in one of the most epic jump scares in The Thing, the iconic chest...

Freddy Krueger was everywhere in the late 80s. It only made sense that he’d get his own show. But unlike Friday the 13th: The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares would put its headlining star front-and-center. Introducing every episode and frequently participating in the plots, Freddy hosted a show that would explore the lives (and deaths) of the citizens of Springwood. Much sleazier than its namesake film series and produced on a miniscule budget, every episode of Freddy’s Nightmares offered something interesting. Especially given that each episode was made up of TWO stories;...

Spooky narratives tend to be scarier when experienced alone, and that’s why I’ve always preferred single-player horror gaming. That being said, there’s no denying that multiplayer has taken over videogames over this past decade, captivating players with the unpredictable thrills of online cat-and-mouse matches. Now that horror juggernauts like the Friday the 13th franchise and even Evil Dead have gotten in on the action, lesser-known properties like Full Moon Features’ massive catalogue of B-movies have also been getting the multiplayer treatment with projects like October Games’ upcoming Puppet Master: The...

Jason Blum has made it clear many times over the years that he’d love to bring the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises into the Blumhouse family alongside Halloween and The Exorcist, which is certainly always a possibility in the future. The Friday rights are still tangled up in a legal mess, of course, but what’s the latest on the Elm Street franchise? Speaking with Screen Rant while promoting The Black Phone last week, Jason Blum indicated that if Blumhouse is able to get into bed with...

Sinister Succubus. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we did what might be our hardest pivot yet with last week’s episode on the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo. Now it’s time to get a bit more serious with writer/director James Bond III‘s Troma classic Def By Temptation! In the film, quiet divinity student Joel (James Bond III) starts to question his faith. So he leaves his hometown in...

The first DLC update for Evil Dead: The Game is on the way this summer, with the Army of Darkness-based “Castle Kandar” map being added to the game in the coming months. The Army of Darkness map will be FREE to all players, and Tim Willits from Saber Interactive teased recently that “additional content” is also being added within the same update. Check out the very first in-game sneak peek at the Castle Kandar map (images above and below), which should pair well with playable characters that are already in the game...

Fresh off The Northman, Nicole Kidman has set up her next project, on board to star in and produce a thriller titled Holland, Michigan from the director of Hulu’s Fresh, Mimi Cave. Deadline first reported the news this afternoon, additionally noting that the film is said to have a “Hitchcockian bent.” Cave’s Holland, Michigan comes from Amazon Studios. The site’s report details, “The feature, based on Andrew Sodroski’s (Manhunt) script, topped the 2013 Black List, and involves secrets that lurk beneath a Midwestern town with a Hitchcock bent. Kidman will...
