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

Courtesy of Good Morning America on ABC Stephen King takes in an astounding amount of media.

A festival circuit success story is making waves on the Netflix charts today. The sci-fi horror picture It’s What’s Inside sits as the most-watched horror film on the platform today and claims the 5th place slot overall. It’s What’s Inside premiered at Sundance this past January and a bidding war ensued almost immediately. Netflix bought

It doesn’t happen very often that a movie can terrify you to the level that it affects your emotional well-being. It first happened in The Exorcist (1973), Jaws (1975), and then The Blair Witch Project (1999). It wasn’t until 2014 that Adam Robitel’s The Taking of Deborah Logan was able to recapture that collective terror

‘Solar Opposites’ returns for a transformative Halloween special that gets to the crux of the spooky season by riffing on a Christmas classic. “Stop celebrating Halloween? Oh no, my pretty.

I just finished Hayride to Hell and I can’t believe how much I liked it. I was expecting to be let down and I wasn’t. Some films boasting familiar faces from the genre space pull the viewer in with recognizable names (who are usually the best part of the film). But those actors are often relegated to

The NC-17 rating first appeared in 1990 for the movie Henry and June. It replaced the X-rating used throughout the 70s for sexually explicit American films, or as it’s referred to: porn.

I’ve been in this business a long time and can understand why it’s such a hard sell for people to believe a movie can be so potent that it physically affects its viewers. I think one of the reasons is that we’re all such seasoned horror fans that movies don’t affect us the same way

Confrontational, stylish, and gory, Fargeat’s feature film debut shifted cultural consciousness ever so slightly. And now, with her sophomore feature The Substance, Fargeat has even shifted the zeitgeist with a disgusting, rage-filled scream about

Stephen King’s second novel is arguably his most frightening. It might also be my favorite full-length work from the author. Now, for the third time, King’s vampiric small-town opus has been adapted for the screen. And for the third time, it’s gone directly to the small screen. Director Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) was tapped

Dark secrets, resentment, and jealousy raucously bubble up to the surface in writer/director Greg Jardin’s feature debut, It’s What’s Inside.

Stephen King and Mike Flanagan / photos by Josh Korngut Stephen King and Mike Flanagan work exceptionally well together.
