I love a good killer shark flick. I wish there were more of them, but I could probably rattle them all off in under a minute. Now, if I were rattling off just the good ones, I’d probably finish before I wrap writing this sentence. It’s a shame, too, since it’s one of my favorite

Final Destination: Bloodlines has taken the franchise to new heights while retaining all the suspense and dark humor of its oeuvre.  But one person stands out in the new film and fans are hoping to see more of him in other projects. His name is Richard Harmon and plays Erik, the emo slash goth character

Tomorrow will be a Shpadoinkle day, as Enjoy the Ride Records is bringing the Cannibal! The Musical soundtrack to vinyl on May 30 at 12pm ET.

“The most important questions are the unanswered ones.” Give that a moment to sink in, rid your mind of all preconceived notions of what makes a good horror film and hit play on Dariuss. This is NOT your typical scary movie. Because there is NOTHING typical about Dariuss. Writer, director, star, and eternal artist Guerrilla Metropolitana has

Ed Gale, may have been a little person in real life, but he had a big impact on the world of cinema. He made his movie debut in Howard the Duck and then went on to play Chucky in Child’s Play and two more movies in the franchise after that. He was 61. His niece

Casting is underway on the Friday the 13th TV series “Crystal Lake” from Peacock and A24, and Deadline reports tonight that William Catlett (Abigail) has officially signed on. William Catlett will be starring alongside Linda Cardellini in the series. Deadline details, “We hear the actor will play the part of Levon Brooks, though no other details were

A lot of horror fans are skeptical of remakes and that’s entirely understandable. There were a lot of cynical rehashes that went into production in the ‘00s when the remake boom was in full swing. We’re still seeing that trend continue, but it seems we’ve achieved a greater balance of late. Yes, many of the

The term “Adapted from a video game” tends to get a bad rap in cinema. Sure, there have been some ill advised video game movies, but as video games and technology have evolved, so has been the ability to properly adapt them. Of course, changing a story from such different mediums can mean a number

Pre-production is officially underway on the Friday the 13th TV series titled “Crystal Lake” from Peacock and A24, and showrunner Brad Caleb Kane takes us behind the scenes today. A photo posted on Instagram tonight gives us a sneak peek at the in-progress construction of Mrs. Voorhees’ living quarters, with Caleb Kane teasing that the

I want Stephen King’s life. I want to write horror stories and sit around watching all kinds of different movies and television shows on streaming. If you’re new to Dread Central, this might surprise you, but for everyone else, yes, Stephen King regularly uses his social media presence to spotlight what he’s been enjoying lately.

Found footage anthologies aren’t really a trend that’s caught on. Of course the V/H/S franchise is the best we’ve got so far and even that’s hit or miss.  Recently Conjuring Tapes landed on Amazon to rent or buy and me falling for the title’s buzzword, had to check it out, and guess what it’s not

The June edition of Steam Next Fest is fast approaching, and solo developer Blargis will be joining in on the fun with an updated demo for Bloodthief, their ultra-fast melee dungeon-runner that has you using blood to fuel your parkour skills as a vampire to take out your foes. Before the new demo arrives, you

From nurturing protectors to unhinged threats, mothers have long held a complex and captivating place in horror. Whether they’re fighting to save their children from danger or becoming the source of terror themselves, horror uniquely explores the primal bond between mother and child- twisting it, breaking it, or using it as a weapon. So let’s

Darren Perks is an artist you may not have heard of, but we will introduce you to him because in the horror space he is one of the best in his field, and you will see that in the images below. iHorror first became aware of Perks when we ran a small social media story

With a six-month stay in Early Access out of the way, developer com8com1 and publisher Headup have released their roguelite survivor FPS Bloodshed has fully launched on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Bloodshed is currently enjoying a 55% discount on Steam and GOG until June 5, while the Epic Games Store has a

We don’t make enough horror movies for teens. Sure, younger audiences are keen on films like Scream and Final Destination Bloodlines, but I’m talking explicitly teen-centric fare. The kind of gateway horror movies that are slumber party scary, but not “Mom’s gotta take me to see a specialist twice a week now” scary. Last year’s

An Amazon Prime membership is mainly for getting items delivered quickly without the shipping fees, but it’s also a streaming platform with tons of titles you can watch for free. Yeah, these days they’re a dime a dozen. But when you have limited funds and you like getting new underwear as early as the next

One of the most anticipated horror films this year is Dangerous Animals, the latest splash from Australian filmmaker Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones,The Devil’s Candy). Although the Jai Courtney-led thriller doesn’t chomp into theaters until June 6th, Bloody Disgusting has the early ticket for those willing to wade in the film’s shark-infested waters. On Thursday, May

I’ve long been fascinated by what I call No Exit Horror, a term I’ve coined for a sub-genre rooted in existential dread, where characters are trapped in singular, oppressive spaces they cannot escape. Think of such liminal space thrillers as Cube, Dead End, Pontypool, or even The Shining. I took the name from French writer/philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, of course, and

Blair Witch Project Star Heather Donahue has returned to the woods, but it’s not a witch she’s running from this time, it’s the townsfolk.  Donahue lives in Freedom Maine, on Beaver Ridge Road. Like in her found footage movie, it’s a wooded area she likes to hike and snowshoe through from time to time. The

George and Kathy Lutz moved into 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, in December 1975, roughly one year after its previous residents were shot and killed in their sleep. They fled less than a month later, leaving behind their belongings and claiming to have been terrorized by demonic forces. This story served as the

Taking a game like Until Dawn and making it into a film is a challenge, especially when the original game, written by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, was already so cinematic. So, director/producer David F. Sandberg and producer/writer Gary Dauberman, as well as co-writer Blair Butler, decided to take a radically different route: make each

Today we celebrate Fairuza Balk’s birthday! And what better way to celebrate this wonderful bewitching woman than by revisiting some of her best moments from her iconic role as Nancy in The Craft. As a woman of a certain generation, The Craft was a cornerstone of my youth. Some of you may have wanted to

Every bright side has a dark side in the trailer for Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the latest installment in the family-friendly fantasy-horror-comedy-musical franchise. The Disney Channel original movie premieres July 10 at 7pm before streaming globally on Disney+ the next day. In 2018’s Zombies, humans and the undead learned to coexist. 2020’s Zombies

The new horror film, The Other, marks the union of two queer horror icons: Jeffrey Reddick, creator of The Final Destination franchise, and Paul Etheredge, writer/director of the queer slasher Hellbent. With Etheredge writing and directing, and Reddick producing, the horror-thriller comes to VOD this June. In anticipation of its release, we have a chilling

Over the weekend, Final Destination: Bloodlines did what no other rated R film has done in 10 years: Grossed the most at the domestic box office on opening weekend. It also broke some other tough records. Considering it’s up against a Marvel movie that people actually liked, it says a lot that this latest entry

I spoke with Fear Street: Prom Queen director Matt Palmer about the look of the film’s killer, which draws inspiration from Alfred Sole‘s 1976 proto-slasher Alice, Sweet Alice. “Alice, Sweet Alice was definite influence. There’s a chase scene in that with the killer in the raincoat. And I’m big giallo fan too, so I think

Who doesn’t love an R-rated cartoon? The juxtaposition of animation and ultra-violence has long been a sweet spot for me, probably because it feels slightly taboo to pair the two. After all, cartoons are primarily targeted at youngsters and typically eschew graphic content in favor of more wholesome fare. So, when films like the upcoming

Final Destination: Bloodlines has taken the franchise to new heights while retaining all the suspense and dark humor of its oeuvre.  But one person stands out in the new film and fans are hoping to see more of him in other projects.

Ignite Films and Eagle Rock Pictures, the team behind the recent Re-Animator restoration, are working on a new 4K edition of Bride of Re-Animator for an early 2026 release. “Following the success of our Re-Animator 40th Anniversary release, Bride will rise again in early 2026 with a brand-new 4K restoration,” the companies announced. “Expect a
