The inaugural season of “Yellowjackets” ended with winter’s arrival for the wilderness survivors in 1996 and a slew of unsettling developments for the present. The wait between seasons may finally be over but don’t expect the same when it comes to answers. “Yellowjackets” Season 2 begins with a deeply satisfying premiere, “Friends, Romans, Countrymen,” that hurdles

A strong argument could be made for King Kong being the most influential movie ever made. Kong’s progeny includes Mighty Joe Young, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Godzilla, Ray Harryhausen films, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, many of the character-driven stop motion creations of the past ninety years, and dozens

The Ghost Next Door was originally published in August 1993 (Spine #10). The two-part series adaptation aired on Monday, September 28 & Tuesday, September 29, 1998 (runtime: 22 minutes and 22 minutes). From whispers in the hallways and stories told at recess, when word of it first reached me as a kid, I felt like

Since the genre’s inception, collectable documents have been a staple element of survival horror, found in everything from Silent Hill to Outlast. For years, resourceful developers have been using them to establish their worlds, tease upcoming threats, aid players in solving puzzles, and to tell self-contained stories. Indeed, it is because these files are so

Forty-six years after publication, Stephen King’s Children of the Corn has become a B-horror institution. The short story, which first ran in a 1977 issue of Penthouse, follows a bickering couple who run afoul of a murderous cult of corn-worshiping children on a back road in Nebraska. A bleak example of horror in the daylight, the

After successfully relaunching the franchise with 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Sony Pictures is continuing the storyline with a brand new sequel, and Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist) is taking over the directorial reigns.

After forging a successful partnership on Ready or Not, director of photography Brett Jutkiewicz reunited with Radio Silence — the production collective of co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and producer Chad Villella — on Scream (2022).

Bloober Team made waves when the original Layers of Fear came out in 2016. The psychological horror game was released right at the start of the Survival Horror renaissance and presented players with a deeply haunting tale about a painter driven to madness as he attempts to create his “masterpiece.” Wildly successful at the time,

Hot on the heels of a largely positive critical response (see our own Meagan Navarro’s glowing review here) and an opening weekend performance that has broken franchise records, Scream VI‘s cast and crew are no doubt riding a high right now. The “sequel to the requel” follows the surviving “Core Four” from 2022’s Scream—Sam (Melissa

There was a time when I personally believed that Resident Evil 4 never needed a remake. The original game that was released in 2005 has held up fantastically over the years and become such an influence on third-person action and horror games. Hell, we’re still seeing that influence in the series today as the exceptional

I’m going to come clean and admit that Dead Cells missed my radar entirely when it first released back in 2018. The “MetroidVania” style roguelike challenges players with zipping through an ever changing environment while progressively growing stronger with each run, facing challenging bosses along the way. Where Dead Cells stands out from the crowd

Few titles have redefined the horror genre like Scream. Wes Craven’s original film premiered in 1996 and promptly unleashed a wave of teen meta-slashers that would dominate the genre for the remainder of the decade. From the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, Scream VI manages to strike the perfect balance of homage to the past while

The impact of George A. Romero’s Dead movies reached far and wide. After 1968’s Night of the Living Dead defined the modern zombie as we know it, 1978’s Dawn of the Dead kick-started zombie cinema in earnest. Not only did it herald a horde of undead movies domestically, the infection spread internationally — although the

With the Sam Raimi-produced 65 now playing in theaters, genre fans are getting something we’ve been craving for years – a big budget dinosaur thriller NOT part of the Jurassic Park franchise. The film’s premise of an astronaut crash landing on Earth during the age of the dinosaurs sounds exactly like something that would have
