Based on the classic short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, movie adaptation The Yellow Wallpaper is set for release this month, and IGN has shared the official trailer today. From Mutiny Pictures, The Yellow Wallpaper movie comes to Digital on March 29. The film is said to be a “chilling and boldly original vision of madness.” Watch the trailer for The Yellow Wallpaper movie below. “Jane, a writer and young mother, is prescribed a rest treatment by her physician husband John, who takes her to a remote country estate for...

Welcome to the Hammer Factory. This month we dissect Lust for a Vampire (1971). While Hammer Studios has been in business since 1934, it was between 1955 and 1979 that it towered as one of the premier sources of edgy, gothic horror. On top of ushering the famous monsters of Universal’s horror heyday back into the public eye, resurrecting the likes of Frankenstein, Dracula and the Mummy in vivid color, the studio invited performers like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Ingrid Pitt and so many more to step into the genre limelight....

It should come as no surprise whatsoever, but we thought we’d let you know that the official MPA rating for Evil Dead Rise has been handed down, and have no fear, it’s a hard “R”! The new Evil Dead movie from New Line Cinema is rated “R” for… “Strong bloody horror violence and gore, and some language.” Director Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground) jokes, “I thought about making #EvilDeadRise a warm family friendly PG, but, instead decided to rip that notion to bloody bits and pieces.” Evil Dead...

We’re living in a golden age for video game adaptations of horror franchises, with recent Friday the 13th, Predator and Alien games paving the way for upcoming games based on The Evil Dead and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It would seem that all franchises are up for grabs on the video game front at this point, and that could end up including Phantasm. That is, if the franchise’s creator has any say in the matter… Don Coscarelli, who wrote and directed the original Phantasm and returned to direct three...

We pick up a proton pack and throw out a trap to catch a glimpse of IllFonic’s ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ in our preview of the new multiplayer experience. In hindsight, it’s actually quite surprising we hadn’t seen an asymmetrical multiplayer Ghostbusters game before now. The format feels right for the license. IllFonic has spent the past few years honing its multiplayer chops, learning from mistakes, and getting a better idea of what’s needed from a modern asymmetrical experience. In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, it now has perhaps the perfect template for...

Announced last year, Scare Package is getting a sequel with Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge, and Fangoria has announced the new cast and director lineup today. The upcoming horror anthology sequel will feature returning Scare Package actors Jeremy King, Zoe Graham, and Byron Brown, with newcomers to the franchise including Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet), Rich Sommer (Summer of 84), Graham Skipper (VFW), Maria Olsen (Starry Eyes), and Shakira Ja’nai Paye (House Party). Directors will include Anthony Cousins (Scare Package), Alexandra Barreto (All Americans, Mayans M.C.), Rachele Wiggins...

Add Asobo’s A Plague Tale: Innocence to the list of upcoming video game-to-TV series adaptations. According to French publication Allocine, the adaptation of A Plague Tale will have French director Mathieu Turi (who directed 2017’s Hostile and 2020’s Meander) directing the series, while Merlin Productions and the game’s publisher, Focus Entertainment, will be in charge of producing. The series will be filmed in France, which makes sense, given that Innocence takes place in 14th Century France. “It is fundamental for me that our productions reflect French talents and know-how,” says...

Okay, we’re all still waiting on Bloodlines 2. But there are other Vampire: The Masquerade titles in development that are very much on their way, such as Big Bad Wolf Studio’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, which has just had a new gameplay trailer released. The gameplay trailer gives a brief overview of the abilities and playstyles of the three protagonists you can choose play as in Swansong. On top of that, you’ll also be able to customize your specific character’s stats to further suit your game. You can be an...

This installment of Phantom Limbs finds us cutting into the intended third and fourth seasons MTV’s Scream: The TV Series. While the first two seasons of the film series-inspired television slasher followed one particular group of characters whose stories were left unresolved when MTV rebooted the series with the unrelated Scream: Resurrection, the initial plan was for the original cast to continue on through at least two more seasons, culminating in a surprising revelation that out-metas anything seen before in the entire franchise. Joining us for this talk are Michael...

Celebrating her 40th anniversary this year, Elvira has announced a brand new upcoming comic book as part of her partnership with Dynamite Comics, titled The Death of Elvira! Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast this week, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson teased the upcoming comic, which should be a must-read for all Elvira fans. “I’ve got an awesome one coming up soon,” Peterson tells the Boo Crew. “I hope they don’t kill me for talking about it, but it’s actually The Death of Elvira.” She adds, “That is coming up very...

23 years ago, Kevin Williamson wrote and directed Teaching Mrs. Tingle, a film that saw a good student (Katie Holmes) hold a vindictive teacher (Helen Mirren) hostage in her own home after she is caught cheating. It was a dark comedy, but due to its proximity to the Columbine High School massacre it was a watered-down version of what could have been a wickedly fun time. Because of this, the film was a critical and commercial failure. History may be doomed to repeat itself as Maureen Bharoocha‘s The Prank, a film...

Released this past September for the PlayStation 5, PC via the EGS and Steam, and the Xbox Series, In Sound Mind places you as therapist Desmond Wales.

I’ve spent the best part of three weeks playing Elden Ring. I’d put off this review another few weeks if I could, not because I’m unsure about my feelings on the game, but because I don’t want to put any kind of finality on one of the best game experiences I’ve had for a long time. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice did a lot to revitalize my enjoyment of the From formula, but Elden Ring takes the good work in that game and grafts it onto the magnificent monster that this...
