A Bloody Disgusting favorite, Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You, V/H/S/94) has been hired to direct a remake of the South Korean zombie epic Train to Busan for New Line Cinema, we had learned earlier this year. The film, however, will not be titled Train to Busan. Instead, Deadline notes, it’s currently titled Last Train to New York. According to the site, that “could be” the title, so that may end up changing. Stay tuned for more as we learn it. The new movie is being...

The mission has gone to Hell. A gory monster movie titled Death Valley is on the way to Shudder for the holiday season, we’ve learned tonight, and it looks especially suited to fans of Resident Evil. Featuring a practical creature, this one looks to be ripped from the same cloth as the upcoming reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and you’ll see what I mean when you watch the trailer! Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that it will release the...

George A. Romero took on American consumerism with his masterpiece Dawn of the Dead and now filmmaker Casey Tebo looks to put a modern spin on it with Black Friday, which kicks off the holiday season by spreading some Christmas fear. Bloody Disgusting scored an exclusive clip, which highlights horror favorites Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead films) and Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Syfy’s “Chucky”) stuck in a toy store with a horde of “demonic” shoppers. “On Thanksgiving night, a group of disgruntled toy store employees begrudgingly arrive for work to open the store at midnight for the busiest shopping...

Spontaneous Comburst. We’re only a few weeks into November, but we’re not letting the post-Halloween doldrums get us down. After celebrating our 150th (!!!) episode last week with The Lost Boys, we’re dedicating this week to a whole different anniversary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s amazing musical episode, “Once More, With Feeling,” which turned 20 last week. The season six episode takes place shortly after Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is revived from the grave by her best friend Willow (Alyson Hannigan), who mistakenly believed Buffy was in hell (she was, in fact,...

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States. Fears may not be universal, but one thing is for sure — a scream is understood, always and everywhere. A black cloud hangs over the family at the center of the 2007 movie, Voices. The children live in blissful ignorance while the adults anxiously await the day their legacy finally comes to light. What they had hoped would skip a generation is now underway to destroy...

Is Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? It’s a question that inevitably gets asked on social media every year, and the reason there’s even a debate at all is because, well, it’s of course both! The beauty of the stop-motion animated classic is that it’s both a Halloween movie *and* a Christmas movie, making it the perfect movie to watch in the final three months of every year. Now that we’re between Halloween and Christmas, IGLOO has released...

The score will hit shelves in vinyl and CD on February 11, 2022, one week after Dying Light 2’s launch. Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s score will be released on two vinyl records that “reflect the features of the game, story, and world”.

We have no official details at this time, but David Gordon Green did recently tease that an extended version of...

The noise that 200 Stab Wounds have been making is far from subtle. The Cleveland, Ohio death metal outfit are relatively new to the scene – having formed in 2020 – but have been rattling the underground. Their impressive EP Piles of Festering Decomposition bursts with ferocious sounding riffs and pummeling presentation. Compared to other horror-loving death metal acts, 200 Stab Wounds sets itself apart in creating compositions with technical range. Not to the level that one could associate them as a tech death band, but in each of the...

“The plane crashed… a bunch of our friends died… and then the rest of us starved and scavenged.” So began the official teaser for Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” a survival drama that features a pilot episode directed by Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, The Invitation). The series was created by Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson (“Narcos”), described as being “equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama.” “Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The...

In my defense, I thought it might be helpful, a kind of catharsis. First of all, I must say that my wife is the purest soul I’ve ever met, unendingly compassionate and completely selfless. Honestly, I have no idea how she puts up with me, but I am grateful for it every day. She’s never been a big fan of horror but was intrigued by the cover and synopsis of a Blu-ray I picked up—Ari Aster’s Midsommar. I warned her that it has some pretty intense stuff in it, but...

If you’ve seen The Hateful Eight, you’ve probably gathered that Quentin Tarantino is a big fan of John Carpenter‘s The Thing, even going so far as to utilize unused cues from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for The Thing in his own snowy suspense tale. As it turns out, Reservoir Dogs was also inspired by The Thing, which made a huge impact on Tarantino. Speaking with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” earlier this week, Tarantino explained what it is about Carpenter’s horror classic that makes it so effectively terrifying. “I love...
