On November 6, 1983, Will Byers went missing in Hawkins, Indiana. The fourth season of Netflix‘s “Stranger Things” is finally on the way soon, and we were recently promised that “Stranger Things 4” is coming sometime in 2022. Perhaps we’ll learn more during “Stranger Things Day” tomorrow, a celebration from Netflix that has been detailed with an official schedule of events this afternoon. The fun begins at 7am PT with the final presentation at 4pm PT, with Netflix teasing “Explore Hawkins,” “Cue Title Tease,” “One Word: California,” and “Cast Transformations” events. Check...

With their Bag of Bones mailbag episodes, The Losers’ Club gathers at the Mellow Tiger, aka Zoom, to answer questions submitted from their fellow patrons. This month’s Bag was opened in late October, a spooky time when the pumpkins were still waiting to be carved. Joining Losers Michael Roffman, Jenn Adams, and Dan Pfleegor at the Castle Rock haunt was Anthony Breznican, senior Hollywood correspondent at Vanity Fair. Together, they joked about Stephen King costumes for Halloween and caught up on the past year’s festivities. But they also sorted through...

Haunted houses tend to adhere to a familiar formula. Characters get terrorized by paranormal activity within their home or current dwelling, and fleeing rarely is as easy as it sounds. The haunting is usually caused by an unspeakable tragedy that occurred years ago or an inciting event that disturbs the dead, prompting them to unleash pent-up rage. It’s a solid foundation that leaves plenty of room for reinvention and reinterpretation, stretching the limits of a haunted house. It’s often a simple location change; The Shining and 1408 terrorized a hotel, and Death Spa unleashed supernatural mayhem...

At the time of writing this article I am 200 pages into writer Tim Waggoner‘s Halloween Kills, the official novelization of David Gordon Green’s sequel. As Waggoner recently explained in an interview with our own Jason Jenkins, “I was able to write it pretty much from the script,” which is usually how these sorts of things work. Waggoner was provided with the script for Halloween Kills and he wrote out the novelization based on the dialogue and descriptions found therein, building out from there to turn the script into a...

The thirty-five years that have passed since its premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival in October of 1986 have done nothing to diminish the impact of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It is a film about reality—truths that are in some ways distant, but in others deeply relatable. It is about chaos and death, but also about deep sadness, disconnection, and even love. In it we see the random nature of life and death as its principal characters wander and roam through the world, and what happens when...

Much like Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero‘s 1977 horror movie Martin, centered on a man who believes he’s a vampire, is currently being restored by the UK’s Second Sight Films, with a physical 4K Ultra HD release on the way. As we learned just last week, the 4K restoration is “nearing completion,” and we’re expecting a release sometime in early 2022. As a bit of a follow-up to that exciting news, we’ve learned the even more exciting news that George Romero’s 3.5 hour, black & white director’s cut has reportedly been located!...

Film criticism has never been an exact science, and movie critics themselves are still fallible human beings. That’s why it’s no surprise that some horror movies only find a welcoming audience years after being dismissed during their initial release. While the rise of the internet means that it’s now much easier to recommend underrated flicks to like-minded fans (like our previous list of unfairly maligned horror films of the 2000s), some great movies still manage to slip through the cracks. That’s why we’re back with another six critically panned horror...

In professional wrestling, the concept of “Kayfabe” refers to an unspoken agreement between fans and performers to never acknowledge the fictional aspects of the sport. In the horror genre, we have something similar with the way Found Footage movies invite audiences to play along with the scares to enhance their viewing experience. And when it comes to Found Footage, no movie handled this blending of reality and fiction better than The Blair Witch Project, which was accompanied by an ingenious viral marketing campaign featuring websites, dossiers and even missing person...

Troy Duffy‘s The Boondock Saints spawned a sequel in 2009 titled The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, and over ten years after that film we’ve learned another one is on the way. Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery will again play Murphy and Connor MacManus in The Boondock Saints III, a brand new feature film coming soon, Deadline reports. Duffy is returning to write and direct, with Reedus and Flanery helping with the script. Shaun Redick (Get Out, BlacKkKlansman), Yvette Yates Redick, and Don Carmody will produce. Reedus and...

It’s no secret that October is our favorite month of the year here at Bloody Disgusting. Not surprisingly, it’s also our busiest time, and that seasonal chaos has certainly extended to the Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. Below, you can catch up on what we’ve been creating! Acast Audio Fiction Week Over 80 years ago, Orson Welles stirred panic across the United States with The War of the Worlds! Since then, October 30th has become known as World Audio Drama Day.

It was only last month that we looked back on the original Castlevania, which after 35 years, still remains one of the Konami’s best NES games. And, after a sequel that, while initially maligned, laid the groundwork for what was to come for the franchise, and a third entry that is still praised as one of the very best games ever on the NES, where do you go from there? For Konami and director Masahiro Ueno, you looked ahead to the SNES with Super Castlevania IV, which was first released...
