Jurassic Park was a generational masterpiece. Much has been said about Steven Spielberg’s enduring blockbuster—how it changed filmmaking forever, how it remains the movie we think of when conceptualizing what we mean by the movies—though for all the discourse about its scale and effects, perhaps the simplest truth is that Jurassic Park, at its core,

There is a homeowners association somewhere in this country about to discover its bylaws contain no language covering a fifteen-foot headless man holding his own skull above the mailbox. Lowe’s has entered the giant Halloween decoration arms race with the Haunted Living 15-ft Talking Lighted Skeleton Watcher Motion Activated Animatronic. It is listed at $429,

Breaking news this evening, as TheInsneider reports that David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, pictured above) has been tapped to direct the psychological horror film Mommy’s Home for Lionsgate! Penned by James Morosini, the writer was originally supposed to direct the script. Now, it seems Lionsgate has decided to go with Sandberg behind the camera instead.

Around iHorror, it’s always spooky season, but Halloween Horror Nights makes it official. 🎃 Universal Studios is bringing the scares back for 2026 with a terrifying lineup of haunted houses, scare zones, and more at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. HHN 2026 will feature haunted houses based on Sinners, Evil Dead Burn, Hellraiser, Killceañera, Killer Klowns

Some terrible news for all you arachnophobes out there (me): the red band trailer for Crawlers has arrived, and I fucking hate it. I mean that as a compliment. Just the opening scene is enough to give me nightmares and make it difficult to sleep tonight. The spiders look hyper-realistic, and things only get increasingly

Opening Tubi to find a horror movie is its own little horror movie. The catalog is enormous, half of it has cover art that looks AI generated, and twenty minutes later you have watched four trailers and committed to nothing. It is like wandering a haunted Blockbuster that never closes and never restocks the good

Courtesy of 20th Century Fox “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” I find fans tend to fear the remake. We worry any new iteration of our favorite films “won’t get it”. We mourn for “originality”. Some even weep at the thought of a new take somehow swatting the original down like a pesky insect. But that’s

The marketing for American Horror Story: 13 has spent months pulling familiar faces out of the vault. Now the first official teaser makes the plan impossible to miss. By the time Vogue published a wave of first-look images on August 12, the thirteenth season had stopped pretending to be subtle. What the teaser actually reveals

Well, if there was any question whether Inde Navarrette was about to become one of Hollywood’s biggest new stars, I think we can put that to rest. After an absolutely insane breakout year thanks to Curry Barker’s Obsession, Navarrette has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rogue in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men. The news

Horror spent this week refusing to let anything stay dead. American Horror Story emptied its entire vault of villains onto one soundstage, Lionsgate went digging for a leprechaun it had buried years ago, and a girlfriend from a micro-budget slasher clawed her way out of the movie and into a theme park. Somebody is even

Well, Michael Myers may not be welcome in Australia, but you can’t kill the Boogeyman that easily. Just a week after Halloween: The Game announced that it had been denied classification by the Australian Classification Board, the developers have revealed some very good news for horror fans in New Zealand: the game will be available

Mike Gencarelli, the creator and director behind the new Jaws 4 documentary, The Shark That Roared, has a new project on the horizon. This time he is bringing the focus to an actor whose unexpectant recent passing overwhelmed audiences who grew up with his films; Sam Neill. Sam Neill, Jurassic Park (1993) Neill was best

Shudder just released pregnancy horror film Nightborn on the service not long ago, but that isn’t stopping them from getting back into the subgenre. This afternoon, they’ve announced that Goody Goody will land on the streamer this September. Lulled into a necessary sense of comfort during a long home birth process, expecting parents and their

Horror fans learn early to flinch at the words “Part 2.” We have been burned. The sequel usually means a smaller budget, a bigger body count that somehow matters less, and a killer who has stopped being scary and started being a mascot. We brace for diminishing returns because that is what the genre trains

At this point, there’s been all sorts of speculation over who will take on the role of Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino‘s planned adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis‘ 1991 novel. Especially after it was reported that various high-profile actors have turned it down. Yet one name that has come up a few times now is

Possession movies love a locked door. Decades of them have been built on the simple cruelty of putting someone in a room with a demon and quietly removing the exits. Bury the Devil wants to remove one more. The editing. The new international trailer for Adam O’Brien’s film makes its pitch in the first few

Shudder is set to let loose a wild beast when Hellcat arrives on the streamer tomorrow, and today we have an exclusive look at the film. Lena (Dakota Gorman) wakes in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb

If you’ve watched the movies, played the games, and still thought “honestly, I’d eat there,” your reservation is coming. A real, functioning Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is opening in 2027 at the American Dream complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Not a pop-up. Not a photo op. A permanent recreation of the most infamous pizzeria in horror, built in partnership

EXCLUSIVE: One of the highlights of this summer’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival is the hotly anticipated The Barn Part III, the third and intended final film in Justin M. Seaman’s Halloween-set indie slasher franchise. And today, Dread Central has the exclusive trailer premiere! The footage is everything you’d expect from this wonderfully old-school series, absolutely

Four new horror movies arrive on Friday, August 14, and they have been scattered across the internet like someone lost a bet. One is in IMAX. One is on Shudder, one is on the ordinary rental storefronts, and one is on a streaming service you have very possibly never opened. A fifth, The Boy From

Inde Navarette for Gap 2026 Inde Navarette is everywhere right now. Just this weekend, Universal Studios dropped the news that “Freaky Nikki” from Obsession will be on the prowl during its annual Halloween Horror Nights event. It’s a big deal for Navarette, especially since she told Cosmopolitan that she had her fingers crossed for an

Somebody finally remembered that a machine can be scarier than a monster. The best thing in Harbinger is a boxed-up fortune teller with a painted face and a coin slot, the sort of thing that would sit at the end of a pier taking your money and telling you that a stranger will bring good

The Firefly family is getting one hell of a homecoming this Halloween season. Lionsgate is bringing all three of Rob Zombie’s Firefly films together for Rob Zombie’s Firefly Trilogy, a massive eight-disc collector’s edition arriving on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital on October 13, 2026. The big news here is that House of

Freaky Nikki of Obsession will be stalking you in the fog at Halloween Horror Nights this year.  The unhinged girlfriend played by Inde Navarrette has brought “clingy” to a whole new level. Because of Navarrentte’s performance, single men hesitate before swiping right. Additionally, those in relationships now sleep with one eye open next to their

Shudder is bringing some serious Halloween energy this October, announcing that the post-apocalyptic indie horror film Hallowarrior will land on the service that month. Here’s the plot crunch: “Pumpkin (Milly Shapiro), a Halloween-obsessed post-apocalypse survivor, thinks she’s the last person alive. But when a vicious band of scavengers shows up at her doorstep, Pumpkin has

A woman wakes up in a hospital bed with a shattered body and a hole where the last six months used to be. Her husband has been arrested for trying to kill her. Somebody in her life did something terrible, and the only person who was definitely there, the one witness who cannot be bribed

Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones. NECA is taking its Universal Monsters collection to the next logical place with the Ultimate The Invisible, Invisible Man, a new action figure based on the classic 1933 Universal horror movie The Invisible Man. And yes, this version is actually invisible. The fully articulated, 7-inch-scale figure of

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma opens in U.S. theaters today, and I have not seen it. Jack Haven found this very funny. “Oh, I forget you haven’t seen it,” they said, barely six minutes into a call that was supposed to run fifteen and ran twenty-seven. “So you’re really asking blind.” Reader, I

At this point in my life, there’s a whole lot I’ve forgotten from middle school. Yet I never could shake our reading of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. You know, the story about a guy who wakes up to discover he’s turned into a giant bug? Certainly, one of the weirder tales ever gifted to me by

This was the week horror spent arguing with its own paperwork. Not with monsters, not with box office, with rights and contracts and the versions of films that somebody upstairs decided you were not going to see. Two studios are now racing each other to make a Nightmare on Elm Street movie neither one fully
