The After Dark Horrorfest was a game-changer back when it premiered in 2006. Not only was this film festival devoted to the horror genre, it was accessible. Founder Courtney Solomon (An American Haunting) chose the best possible venue for this “ultimate celebration of horror”: the big screen. So from November 17 to 21, these hand-picked titles

Narrowing down the scariest movie of any given year is incredibly challenging. This year alone, I was chilled to the bone by Nicholas Cage’s turn in Oz Perkins’ Longlegs, and Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen yielded some of the most frightening, indelible horror imagery I’ve seen in years. Exhuma was another sensational addition to the

Terrifier 3 is a stomach-churning, disgustingly brutal, Yule-Time gore fest! Fans are going to love it! Damien Leone’s Terrifier series is well known for its amazing low-budget special effects, its graphically brutal on-screen kills, and its memorable, maniacal killer, Art the Clown – played wonderfully by David Howard Thornton. The upside-down saw scene in part one, and the bedroom scene in

DOC OF CHUCKY – Still 3 Very few franchises maintain the same level of quality as Don Mancini’s Chucky Universe. With seven films and three seasons of the best horror show on television (#SaveChucky), fans still want more time with the beloved killer doll. This is why after the recent and unforgivable cancellation of Chucky,

This year there were many hyped-up horror movies that did pretty well at the box office. There was the over-soaked saturation of Longlegs, the social media takeover of Speak No Evil, and constant word-of-mouth about how Terrifier 3 made people physically ill at the theater. Thanks to the buildup, these movies were on everyone’s radar,

Coralie Fargeat’s body horror masterpiece The Substance is one of the best movies of the past several years. It is also, understandably, one of the most polarizing. Following the film’s premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, critics were divided on Fargeat’s very blunt (and very French) take on modern body horror ethos. Does The

Back when Disney was scooping up the rights to fairytales, Universal was doing the same with literary monsters that have since become classics. movies such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolf Man all had movies come out in the 30s and 40s.

“One, two, Freddy’s coming for you…” If asked to, I bet most of you could recite the rest of this nursery rhyme from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Released forty years ago this month, Wes Craven’s seminal slash-sterpiece entered our nightmares. That’s four decades of fantastical terror. Forty years of one of the

Someone at Mattel is in big trouble. Could the theatrical adaption of the musical Wicked be cursed? First, it was put on hold twice since 2018 and then it was announced it would be released in two parts with a year break in between. Then lead actress Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) made a viral stink over

We recently celebrated the 22-year anniversary of Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers here on Bloody Disgusting, a fan-favorite werewolf movie that’s still without a sequel. While a promising update on the anticipated sequel would soon follow, the filmmaker took to Instagram this afternoon with disappointing news. Dog Soldiers pit soldiers up against werewolves in the Scotland wilderness, and a trilogy

Imagine that love at first sight was real, a disorder with such force that it could replay across multiple lifetimes. This is the premise at the heart of Timestalker, a hybrid horror/comedy/fantasy film that explores the power of love to transcend time and space. The catch, however, is that if you find a soulmate, something

The 1990s were weird for horror movies, weren’t they? There were $100 million remakes of queer-coded Shirley Jackson stories and slashers whose key appeal was an invisible Kevin Bacon knocking off B-list performers. Weird in a good way, of course—I love Hollow Man. Part of it was Wes Craven’s seminal Scream, though the other part

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are devastated to learn that horror icon Tony Todd, the legendary actor who played the title character in Candyman (1992) and its sequels, passed away on November 6 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 69. Deadline first reported the news. The prolific actor amassed more than

I love a good self-contained thriller. So, Bruce Goodison’s new film Black Cab, which is primarily set in the back of a taxi, stood out to me from the moment it came onto my radar. Furthering my excitement, the picture stars Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead). I had high expectations going in. But I came away

Robert Egger’s Nosferatu is getting a lot of early buzz thanks to social media. It seems we have heard this before about other movies in 2024, but none gerating serious Oscar preditions. It’s ironic that this news is happening today, Bram Stoker’s birthday. He wrote the novel Dracula in 1897. The original Nosferatu, a silent

Going back home is never easy, especially if you’ve been gone for a long time and want to leave a particular past behind you.

While many works of Richard Matheson ended up on the small screen, the author was a giant when it came to genre. From post-apocalyptic monsters to gremlins on a plane, Matheson fathered a treasure trove of speculative stories that have since inspired countless other writers, including Stephen King. King said of the late Matheson: “[He]

Nobody likes the ick associated with the creator of the Jeepers Creepers franchise, Victor Salva. But for some reason, the monster is a mainstay in the horror movie realm.
