A remake of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s 2014 horror movie Goodnight Mommy is on the way from Prime Video, and it’ll be available beginning on September 16, 2022. While you wait, you can watch a brand new clip from the remake below, titled “Angry Mom.” It puts the spotlight on Naomi Watts‘ performance, which looks to be

Director Tim Story’s slasher The Blackening has a killer premise: if all of the characters are Black, who dies first? In the adaptation of 3peat’s Comedy Central short, co-writers Dewayne Perkins and Tracy Oliver strand a group of friends at a remote cottage in the woods for Juneteenth (yes holiday horror!). Unbeknownst to them, the

Axes, machetes and chainsaws – oh my! certain objects will forever be associated with the horror genre despite having completely normal uses in real life. This makes sense, as years of genre cinema have conditioned us to expect bloody carnage whenever a kitchen knife shows up in a scary movie. However, some filmmakers like to

After making $12.2 million worldwide in theaters – again we must note that the film only hit a maximum of 557 theaters at the height of its run here in the United States – prequel movie Orphan: First Kill is now headed home to DVD and Blu-ray just in time for Halloween. Paramount brings Orphan:

We’re just about one month away from the return of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends, coming to theaters and streaming on Peacock on October 14, 2022. The wait is almost over, and a brand new international TV spot has surfaced this week to give us a first look at some fresh new

Before diving into this week’s episode, be sure to give last week’s chat on Immortality a listen! Just because we’re a week or two behind our typically scheduled Horror Bytes post doesn’t mean we don’t have a hell of a selection to chat about for September! This month’s edition of Horror Bytes, in which Neil

Sick, the new slasher/home invasion film written by Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb, opens with a mini-scroll. In addition to reminding audiences about the early onslaught of COVID, orders to self-isolate and the early death toll, there is a key establishing date: April 3, 2020. The date is paramount in establishing the context for Sick.

It’s been a long time since writer/director Henry Selick has graced audiences with a spooky, stop-motion animated feature. More precisely, it’s been almost thirty years since he helmed the beloved classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s been thirteen years since his last effort, Coraline, a gateway horror movie for many. Selick finally makes his long-awaited return with Wendell & Wild,

Director Mark Mylod and writers Seth Reiss and Will Tracy carefully construct a multi-course fine dining tasting menu of satirical delights and frights in The Menu. While the sophisticated and dry horror-comedy tantalizes with a feast for the senses and a compelling ensemble cast, The Menu‘s satire lacks bite. Obsessed foodie Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) finally secured a coveted spot at the exclusive Hawthorne Island

The rollarcoaster of Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns continues. After another announced delay last month, Firaxis and publisher 2K Games have announced at the D23Expo that the game will arrive December 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, while the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions

One of the most hotly anticipated horror movies on the horizon is the Universal Monsters movie Renfield, and that’s largely because Nicolas Cage is co-starring as Dracula himself. Renfield comes to theaters on April 14, 2023, and Cage has shared with Variety this week a tasty little preview of the voice he’ll be employing for his own unique take on

Writer/Director Jalmari Helander delivered a delightfully wicked twist to Santa Claus in 2010’s genre-bender Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Helander’s latest, Sisu, sees the filmmaker reteaming with some familiar Rare Exports faces for another crowd-pleasing genre-bender, this time an R-rated journey through Lapland near the end of World War II. The period action adventure goes hard on hyper-violence and

An adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Ex Machina) and Cliff Chiang‘s (Wonder Woman, Human Target) best-selling, Eisner-winning comic series, which ran from 2015 to 2019, Prime Video’s “Paper Girls” just debuted this summer, and it has already been cancelled. Deadline reports, “The decision comes a little over a month after all eight episodes from Season 1

The popularity of Hocus Pocus has grown with each passing year, paving the way for the long-awaited sequel Hocus Pocus 2 to debut on Disney+ on September 30, 2022. Fresh out of D23 tonight, watch the brand new Hocus Pocus 2 trailer below! The film is being billed as “the spooky sequel to the 1993 Halloween classic,” with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy all

Now playing in theaters, Barbarian has been earning rave reviews from critics – including our own Meagan Navarro, who awarded the film 4.5/5 stars – and the horror movie debut from writer/director Zach Cregger is sure to shock and surprise horror audiences for many years to come. Read nothing. Have nothing spoiled for you. Just

The second season finale of ‘American Horror Stories’ gets pulled away by the tide and struggles to find its way back to a compelling conclusion. “She needs to find her life again and get back to normal. We all do.” There are some exceptional horror films that find fear within the unknown depths of the

HBO Max is planning to do some more slashing with “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin” Season 2, a new season of the horror-heavy reboot show that just wrapped its debut season. “We are beyond excited to continue telling stories with our amazing group of little liars—exploring their friendships, their romances, their secrets, and their status

It’s wild that the demonic nun known as Valak has become such a horror icon, starring in her own movie back in 2018 with a sequel on the way, because the character almost didn’t even make it into The Conjuring 2. As James Wan has noted in the past, Valak was actually a final hour replacement for

Much has been made about George Romero‘s legendary Japanese commercial for Resident Evil 2 (or Biohazard 2, if you want to get technical), but at least that was filmed. George Romero’s Resident Evil film, however, is a different story. We talked about this ultimate “What if?” a few years ago, and now thanks to Jason

Mark Rosman‘s The House on Sorority Row (1982) and Stewart Hendler‘s Sorority Row (2009) feel shoved aside in their respective horror classes. Titles like Pieces, Black Christmas, and The Dorm That Dripped Blood get more frequent mentions when discussing pre-90s sorority or dormitory slashers. Remake debates rarely include Sorority Row in their reassessments of unfairly

There’s no better way to kick off Halloween season than with Universal Orlando’s always epic Halloween Horror Nights, which opened this past Thursday jam-packed with several new houses and scare zones infested with bugs, cursed by witches, and hunted down by chupacabras. While I am a huge fan of local haunts, Halloween Horror Nights is

Before listening to this week’s discussion on Immortality, please check out last week’s conversation on Scanner Sombre, LIDAR.EXE, and Gamescom 2022! At 30, I tend to think I have experienced a great deal of what games have to offer. Not to place a cap on the medium’s potential or to say there’s a drought of

After bumping the release of Gloomwood once already, developers Dillon Rogers & David Szymanski and publisher New Blood Interactive decided to do it again. Only this time, they’ve bumped the Early Access release to today! Yep, ahead of its announced September 6 launch, Gloomwood was released today on Steam as a Labour Day treat. In
