Mike Flanagan’s final series for Netflix is “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and it’s available to stream now. The limited eight-episode series is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and that is reflected in every facet of the series, right down to its production design. In the series, “Ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege, and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious...

Anna’s lot in life takes an optimistic turn when it comes to fame and family as a sinister force asserts control and ‘AHS: Delicate’ teases its grander plans. “Is it a boy, Mary?”“It is a monster.” Pregnancy horror stories can go down many different directions, whether they’re tales where disturbed individuals attempt to steal a healthy infant, evil offspring scenarios, or any variety of films where a dark pact is made with the Devil or some kind of malevolent magic. American Horror Story: Delicate has kept its audience guessing when...

Even the harshest critics of found-footage have to admit that the sub-genre excels when immersing viewers directly into the horrors of a scary story instead of having them be passive observers. Funnily enough, this is the same reason why horror is such a great fit for videogames, with the added interactivity making it easier to feel like you’re in danger alongside the protagonists instead of simply watching them from afar. That’s why I find it baffling that so few developers have managed to take advantage of the similarities between these...

BuzzFeed comic artist Adam Ellis began a Twitter thread in 2017 that went viral as it chronicled the eerie happenings within his apartment, with sleep paralysis giving glimpses of the specter responsible, a young ghost boy with a misshapen head named David. The movie adaptation of that thread, Dead David, aims to expand the paranormal mystery that haunted Ellis by turning inward, using Ellis and his online habits to craft a supernaturally charged cautionary tale of online bullying. Comic artist Adam (Augustus Prew) is no stranger to internet trolls working for Buzzfeed, but...

Bloober Team is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and what better way to celebrate than with free content and a song? Not only is Layers of Fear receiving more content in a couple of weeks, but Bloober Team has partnered up with Polish singer-songwriter Natalia Szroeder for a rather creepy take on a classic children’s song. Bloober had teased last week on X that something was going on, to which they’ve now revealed via GameSpot the collaboration with Szroeder on a rendition of “You Are My Sunshine”, paying homage...

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Pet Sematary (2019) and Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023).  In the Master of Horror’s vast collection, few stories cast a shadow so dark as Pet Sematary. Stephen King’s 1983 novel follows Louis Creed and his young family as they fall victim to the grim shadow of death lurking in the woods behind their new house. When the family’s cat Church dies, their friendly neighbor Jud Crandall leads Louis past the charming Pet Sematary deeper into the forest to a burial ground where the dead...

I love when a video game genuinely surprises me. I’ll be the first to admit Trepang2 was not on my radar at all but I was sold when I heard it was a spiritual successor to the F.E.A.R. franchise. There’s been a F.E.A.R. shaped hole in the current landscape of horror-based first person shooters. Trepang2 would’ve impressed me by being a solid clone of it and nothing more. But to my surprise, it’s so much more than that. In fact, I walked away from Trepang2 thinking I had played one...
