This Halloween season, Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX are bringing Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls to theaters, a gateway horror film that wears its ’80s/’90s influences on its sleeves. Those influences extend to music, and we’ve got a treat for you this afternoon with a brand new clip channeling Meatloaf’s hit song “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)”… in the form of a hilarious dream sequence from the film. Based on writer, director, and star Andrew Bowser’s viral internet character of the same name, Onyx tells the story of an amateur occultist who...

The Exorcist rocked the world 50 years ago and horror has never been the same since. It shocked audiences with its unflinching portrayals of disturbing medical examinations, levels of profanity that shot right past those considered “acceptable” for Hollywood studio films, and a scene in which a twelve-year-old girl masturbates with a crucifix. It was decried by some and lauded by others. Evangelist Billy Graham famously said, “the Devil is in every frame” and urged Christians not to see the film and thereby expose themselves to such evil. The Catholic...

A Night in Terror Tower was originally published in January 1995 (Spine #27) and the series adaptation aired on February 26, 1996 (runtime: 44 minutes – 22 minutes each). Centuries have a way of sanding down the sharp edges of the past, curbing terror, tragedy and the evils of man into palatable ghost stories that both educate and darkly entertain. Forgotten tombs become attractions and sites of mass slaughter turn into tourist hotspots, marketable places where families snap photos and listen to guides as they excitedly recount their hallowed location’s...

Religious extremism is as old as religion itself. A belief in sorcery and witchcraft as some ungodly source has always been present when it comes to Christian fundamentalism – most often resulting in witchhunts and senseless deaths by hanging, burning at the stake, or drowning. It’s the fear of the unknown that has caused innocent lives to be stricken down, and it’s always efforts done in the name of God. That it is their duty to cleanse the world of perceived evil before it spreads and consumes all they know...

The image features Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Chucky, Michael Myers, Ghostface, and Billy the Puppet from Saw. Jason, Freddy and Leatherface have checkmarks over their faces (given their past inclusion in Mortal Kombat games),...
