Dracula and Frankenstein are the two most often mentioned in conversations of that year’s horror films, but also important are Fritz Lang’s M for essentially inventing the serial...

Camille Griffin’s directorial debut, Silent Night, which made the festival rounds last fall, is making its way to DVD and Blu-ray on March 8, 2022, via RLJE Films.

Horror Bytes is back!  It’s Horror Bytes Episode 2, and for the second installment of our monthly segment in which Neil and I cover bite-sized horror experiences, we’ve increased our number of picks from two to four games apiece.  This allows us to produce a more substantial conversation and dissuade me from continuing to inundate Neil’s inbox with bite-sized horror game suggestions on an hourly basis.
