Waxwork Records has given Bloody Disgusting the exclusive first listen to the debut single from the new Candyman score. The track is titled “Rows and Towers” and scored by NYC-based electronic and avant-garde artist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe. “‘Rows and Towers’ serves as one of many portals in the landscape of Candyman,” Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe tells Bloody Disgusting. “The choir of voices is representative of the multiplicity of voices, not only deeply cemented in the folklore of Candyman, but of the characters navigating the space in real time. “The...

Set in 1843 in an isolated farmhouse in the Puritan-founded town of Southold, New York, the upcoming horror film The Last Thing Mary Saw concerns the titular character (Insidious: Chapter 3’s Stefanie Scott) and her illicit affair with housemaid Eleanor (Orphan’s Isabelle Fuhrman). The discovery of their relationship brings condemnation and torturous punishment from Mary’s tyrannically religious family, which presages a series of supernatural events that culminate in a shocking final act. Witchcraft, bloodshed and betrayal all feature in the tale, though it’s ultimately the love story at its heart...

By now, you’ve probably seen James Gunn’s handiwork in The Suicide Squad (if you haven’t, check out Meg’s review). Some of you gamers might have seen it and thought one particular scene looked kind of familiar. Well, that’s because it was. In an interview with Collider, Gunn talked about his filmmaking process, and one of the questions that came up was in regards to Harley’s hallway fight. If you’ve played 2012’s Lollipop Chainsaw for the PS3 or 360, you’re now remembering where you’ve seen that before. “In , which I...

At long last, Disney is welcoming guests back to the Haunted Mansion, a fresh take on one of the company’s signature rides. It was revealed back in July that comedian Tiffany Haddish (Night School, Bad Trip) and Oscar nominee LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out, Death Note, Knives Out, Uncut Gems) will star in the film, according to THR, with Justin Simien, who previously helmed Dear White People and Bad Hair, making his big-budget studio debut. While story details are basically invisible, it will follow a family that moves into the titular mansion. But what about the 999 happy haunts that...

1C Entertainment aren’t quite done with Lovecraft, it seems. On top of the announcement of Forgive Me Father, 1C Entertainment and developer Blini Games have announced action RPG Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. And like Forgive Me Father, the follow-up to 2019’s Lovecraft’s Untold Stories will launch in Early Access on October 28.

Horror musicals are such a strange concept that, even as a huge fan, I still find it hard to believe that they exist in the first place. From Little Shop of Horrors to Repo! The Genetic Opera, audiences are surprisingly okay with singing along to tongue-in-cheek violence and creepy characters. Of course, not all horror musicals are created equal, and Troma Entertainment has provided us with some of the weirdest ones out there. That’s why I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about my personal favorite Troma movie, Poultrygeist:...

Structured like a play and filmed in inky black and white, actor Mark O’Brien’s feature directorial debut The Righteous is a dialogue-driven examination of grief, responsibility and penance. The film follows Frederic Mason (Henry Czerny), a former priest who left the brotherhood to marry Ethel (Mimi Kuzyk) and raise a little girl. Ethel is devout and stoic and their late-in-life marriage feels simultaneously rock solid and susceptible to imminent collapse at the same time. The Righteous opens in the aftermath of a tragedy: the couple’s young daughter has died, although...

Behaviour Interactive have been teasing the next chapter for Dead by Daylight for the past week, including the addition of a new killer. Who is it, you ask? Well, if the teaser trailer is anything to go by, we could soon be in store for the arrival of a certain Cenobite. Things started to get interesting when Behaviour posted an audio file to their Discord, which when viewed through a spectrogram, reveals the word ‘HELL’. The devs have also been posting letters to their Twitter account, which when combined, spell...

The Adams Family are doing the kind of pioneering DIY work that most low-budget independent filmmakers can only dream of. The trio – composed of John Adams, Toby Poser and their daughter Zelda Adams – write and direct all of their films collaboratively. They also act as editor, cinematographer, DP, costume designer, music composer, and producer. The family is truly a one-stop-shop for film production. None of this would matter if the films weren’t any good, but they’re suitably impressive. Their latest, Hellbender, is an exciting new addition to the...

Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, Green Room) is directing a remake of Troma’s The Toxic Avenger for Legendary Entertainment, and we’ve learned that filming has now wrapped. Writer/Director Blair himself made the announcement this afternoon on Twitter. Find the tweet below.

Now evildoers will have a lot to lose.” “A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget...

Blade of Darkness‘ legacy can be seen in a wide variety of modern games, from Darksiders to Dark Souls, with its Dark Fantasy setting and challenging gameplay helping to shape the template for such titles. Players can choose between four characters (Tukaram, the Barbarian; Naglfar, the Dwarf; Sargon, the Knight; and Zoe, the Amazon) and utilize their unique skillsets and weaponry to carve...

A world where the night never ends… Just four years after The Crow, filmmaker Alex Proyas returned with neo-noir science fiction movie Dark City, ushering us into a nightmarish world no one seems to wake up from. All these years later, Proyas returns to that rich, visionary universe with the short film Mask of the Evil Apparition, which is playing as part of the Popcorn Frights Film Festival beginning tonight. In the 20-minute short, “A young woman with no memory searches a deserted nocturnal city looking for something or someone....

When Fallout 3 was announced, I was one of the many people who were hesitant about the change in perspective for the series. There was something about the look and feel of those old isometric games that captured the grimy, icky apocalypse they were going for that wasn’t quite as appealing when rendered in crisper graphics that you could explore in first person. While I have grown to enjoy the later Fallout games, I’m always hoping something out there can recapture the feeling of the originals. Enter Death Trash.  Much...
