Recently we had the pleasure of taking a deep dive into a personal all time favorite with Bill Paxton’s Frailty and then sitting down to speak with David Kirschner, successful producer of everything from Frailty to the Child’s Play franchise to Hocus Pocus and An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. David graced us with some incredible stories about the making of Frailty; he told us about James Cameron’s “massive” contribution to the film and of the death threats he received before the film was even released. We even touched on the chances of Frailty going to 4K...

All the talk of BillyTime!Games‘ ROM hack of Ghostbusters on the Sega Genesis got us thinking of other horror-themed ROM hacks that you may not be aware of. Obviously, the topics of ROM hacking and video game emulation are reserved for a different website, but that shouldn’t stop us from touching on them for this specific purpose. After all, the creativity of fans is shown time and time again when it comes to modding on PC, so why not consoles? Here are some reworkings of games by fans that either...

Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczyńska‘s feature debut, the horror mermaid musical The Lure, dazzled upon release in 2017. While her English-language debut Silent Twins starring Letitia Wright is set to debut this Fall, the filmmaker’s current project, Hot Spot, has our attention. The filmmaker spoke with Variety today about her work, teasing Hot Spot‘s premise “about a disillusioned private eye Djonny, investigating a murder at a refugee camp and confronting a cyber witch who takes control of his life.” Smoczyńska had us at “cyber witch.” “In Europe, it’s good to have co-productions. It’s...

In celebration of the release of the fifth chapter in the franchise, Insidious: The Red Door, franchise star Patrick Wilson stops by Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast to discuss not only his journey in the role of Josh Lambert but on his transition into the Director’s chair as well. The Insidious series has been a terrifying adventure exploring various central characters and timelines since the original film arrived in theaters 13 years ago. This latest tale picks up right after the events of 2013’s Chapter 2. Patrick had this to...

Amazon Original series “The Horror of Dolores Roach,” based on the hit Gimlet podcast, isn’t shy about its influences. Giving a contemporary, gentrification spin on the Victorian cannibalism tale of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the new series from creator Aaron Mark injects winking nods at every turn and then some, including a reference to William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. As tongue-in-cheek as these knowing references can be, it also underscores how familiar Dolores Roach’s predicament can be, though it’s offset by Justina Machado’s relatable and empathetic performance. Much like Sweeney Todd, we meet Machado’s...

Fairy man. We spent June discussing a cisgender male demon trapped in a female body, genderfluid dinosaurs and evil weaves, so we’re kicking off July with a film that’s a bit more grounded: Robert Harmon‘s classic cautionary tale The Hitcher! In The Hitcher, Jim (C. Thomas Howell) picks up a hitchhiker named John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) while transporting a car from Chicago to San Diego. After quickly showing Jim his murderous ways, John is kicked out of the car and begins a relentless pursuit of Jim, murdering anyone who gets in his...

Welcome back to DEAD Time. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction and sometimes things really do go bump in the night. The paranormal is often portrayed in horror movies for maximum dramatic effect, which doesn’t quite reflect the reality of what it’s like to have a paranormal experience. We watch horror movies about ghosts and demonic possessions because we like to be scared, but don’t you sometimes wonder what paranormal phenomena is like in real life? To answer that question, this month, I was excited to talk with actress,...

Ahead of the release next week of OXENFREE II: Lost Signals, developer Night School Studio has been busy with a “tape series” of videos detailing the behind-the-scenes development of the anticipated sci-fi thriller. The latest, entitled “The Complexity of Choice”, the developers explain the thought process behind the dialogue mechanics in OXENFREE II: Lost Signals, and how the addition of the walkie-talkie communication system further evolves the mechanics from the original OXENFREE. The video features Night School Studio studio director Sean Krankel and Night School Studio leader writer Adam Hines,...

In true fashion, the inspiration for the Japanese horror film Bldg. N is an urban legend. In the early 2000s, there was a media storm about the “poltergeist apartments” in Tomika, Gifu. This new complex lured many tenants with its cheap rent, but they gradually cleared out once the paranormal activity began and the news coverage became unreasonable. The reports on the supposed haunting don’t come across as especially unique, so director and writer Yōsuke Gotō understandably had to fill in the gaps when writing his adaptation of the incident. What he came up...
