Horror continues to bring the box office back to life. After being bumped out of the top spot by The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It last week, John Krasinski‘s sequel A Quiet Place Part II once again returned to the top of the box office charts this past weekend, beating debuting films In

One of the many benefits of genre storytelling is the way horror evokes extreme empathy. Watching a character confront adversity in horror offers a uniquely communal experience that builds understanding that bridges all walks of life. Shapeless explores the all-consuming addictive behaviors of an eating disorder, using psychological body horror to convey the toll it can

One of the games revealed during Friday’s Summer Game Fest was Elseware Experience’s Broken Pieces, a psychological thriller that evokes some heavy Silent Hill vibes in its aesthetic. Given that you’re stuck in an seemingly abandoned French coastal village, solving puzzles and fighting off otherworldly monsters, you can see where a lot of people are

Last year, developer rose-engine unveiled their pixel-based survival horror title Signalis, which seemed like a combo of survival horror and anime. The game’s back with a new trailer that kicked off the Tribeca Games Spotlight at E3, showing off more aesthetic goodies. It’s already been covered that the game takes inspiration from classic survival horror

Welcome to Blood/Ink/Staples, a recurring column which will shine a spotlight on creepy comic books new and old. Here, we’ll be taking a peek at forgotten graphic novels and hot-off-the-press floppies, buried indies and newly-released big labels. Some articles will be historical deep dives, others will feature interviews with creators, but all will attempt to steer

Home invasion thrillers are inherently terrifying for corrupting the private space designated most for comfort and safety. The terror compounds when the home dweller can’t fight back easily; their vulnerability exacerbates the suspense tenfold—vulnerabilities like blindness. See for Me isn’t the first home invasion thriller to center around a blind character trying to evade the dangerous men

As promised, the very first gameplay footage from Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive’s (World War Z) Evil Dead: The Game was debuted during the Summer Game Fest today.

“There is no light to keep the shadows in check. There is only me.” Based on the Filipino comic by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo, Netflix‘s animated series “Trese” premieres this Friday, and the first 5-minutes of the premiere have been unleashed.

Check out your

It’s a music kind of day here on Bloody Disgusting, with two of my personal favorite bands dropping singles on the same day. (I’m not quite sure that’s ever happened before so I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.) Digressing, if you’ve never heard of Kristina Esfandiari, she’s a super talent who refuses to be

Released a few weeks ago on Netflix, Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead is the kind of big-budget, no-holds-barred romp that we don’t see too often in the horror genre. One that has the luxury of indulging in massive, CG assisted set-pieces, copious lashings of gore, and all of its directors’ eccentric ideas, as well

Video games have been a constant source of joy in my life, but my enjoyment hardly expanded into the horror genre for the longest time. My earliest memories tend to revolve around the various Mario games I owned on the Nintendo 64, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Super Smash

Would my horror journalist accreditation be revoked if I didn’t update my ranking of Warner Brothers’ Conjuring Universe (“Conjurverse,” to me) with every new canonical release? Of course not (because that’s not a real thing), but why not dissect totem dolls, sisterly sinners, and more possessions than Ash Williams could shake his boomstick at. What

Clarence Williams III of course played the

The box office refuses to die, rising from the grave thanks to several horror movies. The genre is stronger than ever, pumping life into theaters and passing the baton from film to film as each claim the top spot at the box office. This weekend’s champ is Warner Bros.

It’s now been nearly twenty years since Edgar Wright burst onto the scene with the horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead, which introduced Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to American audiences and won over horror fans and critics alike with its humor, lovable characters, and fun spin on zombie movie tropes.

And there’s nothing we love more than “very Sam Raimi.” When Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) stepped away from the project due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped in to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, a perfect fit given Raimi’s history with Marvel superhero movies and of course, horror movies.

As we learned last year, a third A Quiet Place movie is already in the works, with Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) on board to direct a tale based on an idea by John Krasinski. Tonight, Paramount has dated that third installment for March 31, 2023! Deadline notes, “The pic is very early in development and
