The mark of a memorable acting performance is decided by a number of different factors. How well can you display the intended emotion of the scene? Were the strengths of your performance tailored to make the audience scared? Depressed? Joyful? How about a jack of all trades performance that accomplished all of the above and

The year’s robust horror releases aren’t exclusive to movies; it’s also been a banner year for horror on television. 2022 kicked off with the final three episodes of Showtime’s must see “Yellowjackets,“ setting the bar high for horror TV in 2022. In its critically acclaimed wake, other horror shows more than delivered with new seasons

So with the presentation Konami unleashed announcing the resurrection of the Silent Hill franchise, there was a conspicuous absence from the presentation in Silent Hill: The Short Message.

Every year around this time, millions express their desire to start anew. They set lofty goals and steel themselves with an unbreakable resolve to lose those stubborn extra pounds, break that bad habit, or learn that new skill.

New Queer’s Eve. It’s been a pretty wild December, with us covering off-kilter films like the much-maligned Batman & Robin, the not-as-bad-as-you-think Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings and the Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins-penned murder mystery The Last of Sheila. Now we’re wrapping up the year with a discussion of Carter Smith‘s (The Ruins, Jamie Marks

And we’re back. In their second episode dedicated to The Dark Tower, the last book in Stephen King’s Dark Tower saga (that isn’t Wind Through the Keyhole), The Losers’ Club gets caught in the web of the book’s most controversial character: the child-spider Mordred. Is the hungry arachnid one of King’s most vicious villains or

Two performers defined horror in 2022: Jenna Ortega and Mia Goth. No others quite compare to the sheer emotional brawn both actors brought to the screen. While they have each been working for years in various TV and film roles, the stars aligned over the last 12 months to catapult them into the stratosphere. From

Remember that fan project back in April that aimed to put Ernie Hudson into Ghostbusters on the Sega Genesis? The Ghostbusters: Special Edition is still very much alive, and Ghostbusters News has dropped a little update on the project, which along with the addition of Hudson’s Winston Zeddemore, features a few other goodies.

Although they aim to provoke contrary emotional responses, horror and comedy needn’t be mutually exclusive.

One of the first qualities that comes to mind when admiring Terrifer 2 and the Terrifier franchise in general is the practical effects, and rightfully so. Director Damien Leone and team have concocted such seamless and impressive SFX work that can feel like a lost art within a current filmmaking landscape that heavily relies on

Where there’s horror, there’s death, and 2022 has been a tremendous year for horror. The genre is thriving, as evidenced by the robust offerings of surprise sequels, massive franchise returns, and original stories on every level, indie and otherwise. That means a slew of ingenious and highly creative onscreen kills that made us groan, cringe,

Oh, the weather outside is frightful. So, naturally, we’re theming this week’s streaming horror picks around it.

Black Water is one of those rare instances where “based on true events” isn’t just a gratuitous tagline.
