Let the adventure begin… all over again. The original 1970s TV series “Fantasy Island” only dabbled in horror here and there, but Blumhouse’s 2020 movie brought those elements to the forefront for a full-on horror movie. Now, just one year later, “Fantasy Island” returns as, well, a non-horror TV series. The new “Fantasy Island” premieres on FOX Tuesday, August 10. Watch the trailer below. “A modern drama series, “Fantasy Island” takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out...

By the early 1970s, the counterculture of the previous decade had begun to disperse. Some, weary of what they saw as ineffective nonviolent revolution, became militant. Others withdrew from society altogether into communal life. Still others, having waded through the many spiritual and philosophical options of the 60s, found religion. The so-called Jesus Movement appealed to many hippies because it rejected old-fashioned institutional religion and focused on modeling itself on its image of the early church as led by Jesus and his followers in the first century CE. Along with...

From the first epistolary novels to the Found-Footage craze sparked by The Blair Witch Project, storytellers have been playing around with fact and fiction in order to craft engaging narratives for centuries now. Our ongoing fascination with these myths made real has led to classics like Noroi, REC, and even Bloody Disgusting’s own V/H/S films, all presented as genuine records of horrific events. However, in this sea of recovered SD cards and mysterious videotapes, there’s a hidden gem that manages to redefine Found-Footage while also proving that a little ingenuity...

On June 25, many Swedes gather for one of the year’s most beloved holiday celebrations: Midsummer’s Eve. It’s one of few with relatively little religious content, even though it originates from the 4th-century celebration of John the Baptist’s birth. Like many folk traditions, Midsummer is about the passing of the seasons. It falls near the summer solstice and is thematically similar to how that event has been celebrated in many cultures through the ages. People come together to share food and drink in a summery setting, around the dinner table...

A lot of genre fans insist that the 2000s was one of the worst decades for horror, but even if most mainstream productions at that time appeared to be edgy remakes and attempted cash-ins on trends like J-horror and “Torture Porn,” the independent scene was actually stronger than ever. This is especially true for Slasher films, with the rise of digital filmmaking tools and widespread internet access allowing for fresh voices and more experimentation within the sub-genre. This led to quite a few original Slashers that are still worth talking...
