Caaaaandy Caaaaaane. September was all over the map, with episodes on influential slow burn It Follows, A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s wacky “final” entry Freddy’s Dead, David Lynch’s surreal LA satire Mulholland Drive, and classic lesbian vampire film Dracula’s Daughter. Now that we’re into October, it’s time to bring out some big titles, starting with director John Dahl‘s under appreciated 2001 highway horror flick, Joy Ride. In the film, estranged brothers Lewis (Paul Walker) and Fuller (Steve Zahn) pull what they believe is a harmless prank on Rusty Nail, a lonely truck driver (voiced by...

One of the most hotly anticipated movies on the horizon, the Scream franchise returns to theaters on January 14, 2022. The filmmaking team this time around includes directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, as well as producer Chad Villella, the three members of the filmmaking group known as Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S, Southbound). While we wait for the trailer this week, the very first images from next year’s Scream have been shared by Entertainment Weekly today, including fan favorites and new faces alike. These first images reunite us with iconic characters including Sidney Prescott, Gail Weathers, and Dewey...

It’s always someone you know… The Scream franchise will return to theaters on January 14, 2022, and fans have been clamoring for the first footage. With a trailer drop imminent, Paramount Pictures has shared the first official poster that’s nothing short of a scream, putting Ghostface and a bloodied knife front and center. The posters for the previous four Scream films have always highlighted the suspects cast, while this is the first to prominently feature the iconic slasher! It’s a glorious piece of art that demands attention in theater lobbies and eventually…your wall....

It’s hard to keep a good Slasher down. With the cyclical nature of these movies being part of their appeal, it’s rare for studios to greenlight a definitive end to their popular franchises. For every Final Chapter and Final Nightmare, there’s a Jason Lives and New Nightmare to undo the conclusions of the past. Now that David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills is bringing us one step closer to Halloween Ends, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about what could be next for the Halloween franchise once this new...

Up next from Paramount Players is the horror movie Something’s Wrong With Rose, and the cast has been announced this afternoon by The Hollywood Reporter.

If you haven’t had the chance to snag THQ Nordic and Aspyr Media’s re-release of Stubbs The Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (or are hankering to play it before the physical version comes out later this month), the Epic Games Store is here to solve your problems. Yep, Stubbs The Zombie will be available on the service for free for a week starting October 14th. It remains to be seen what other horror-themed games will be on for free as part of Epic’s program. Last year, players were treated...

Like Vampira, Svengoolie, Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs before him, Stan the Mechanic will be hosting three classic horror movies on the road to Halloween this year, we’ve learned.

Parrlime Productions, the LGBTQ+ production company known for creating diverse film and television content, has partnered with Stan for the spooky triple feature.

If you’re in the mood for a horror adventure title, indie creator Alessandro Guzzo might have the thing for you. Particularly if you’re into Lovecraft. The spiritual successor to 2017’s The Land of Pain, Guzzo’s new game, The Alien Cube, heads to Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 14th. The title centres on Arthur, who is out to find the truth about the mysterious disappearance of his uncle Edgar, the protagonist of The Land of Pain. The world in which Arthur lives is intertwined with a terrible secret, which...

Alan Wake re-emerges from the darkness looking better than ever, and at the perfect time for reappraisal. It’s been 11 years since Remedy took us to Bright Falls and led us down the kind of deliciously demented path the developer has since become synonymous with. Now, with Control pushing Remedy to new heights (not to mention connecting with Wake’s world), a remaster of Alan Wake for a wider audience makes a lot of sense. But is Alan’s shadowy adventure worthy of a Stephen King-esque renaissance? King is the touchstone for...

We’re all waiting with baited breath for From Software’s Elden Ring. From Software knows it, and in a new interview with Famitsu during Tokyo Game Show 2021 (which was translated by the Elden Ring subreddit), Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao dropped a few tidbits that will no doubt please fans. Kitao stated that Elden Ring is in the “final stages of development”, and that the team is “moving forward quietly.” In addition, with regards to the game’s open world map, Kitao noted that Elden Ring has a “very unusual map...

Anne Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” is being turned into a new television series over at AMC, with Sam Reid recently cast as Lestat de Lioncourt. That was the role Tom Cruise played in the feature film from the 1990s, with Brad Pitt co-starring as Louis. The role of Louis has been landed by Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones”), and Deadline lets us know that Bailey Bass (Law & Order SVU) has now been cast in the role of Claudia. That’s the role played by Kirsten Dunst in the 1994 movie. Deadline reminds, “In the...
