A lot of great spooky content dropped for Halloween 2024, didn’t it? Netflix’s docuseries The Manhattan Alien Abduction and the Peacock series Teacup and Hysteria! were the releases I was anticipating most. But a couple of other things snuck up and surprised me, including Netflix’s This Is the Zodiac SpeakingContinue Reading
My anticipation for Peacock’s new sci-fi horror thriller series, Teacup, was high even before I learned about the Overnightmare event at the Stanley Hotel. Which in part was to promote upcoming Peacock shows like Teacup (as well as Hysteria!) and Blumhouse’s new video game “Fear the Spotlight.” In fact, Hysteria!-inspiredContinue Reading
2024’s Fantastic Fest –one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the world— offered tons of fantastic premieres, including hits like Terrifier 3 and V/H/S Beyond. But one of the festival’s coolest films was an under-the-radar gem, Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire. Horror fans areContinue Reading
Highbrow cinephiles often snub horror movies as unworthy of their viewing time. Even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which awards the industry’s highest honor, the Oscars, is often accused of bias against horror movies. I get it. Most horror movies equate to nothing more than justContinue Reading
The first I heard of Apartment 7A, a prequel to Rosemary’s Baby, was on September 26, the day before it started streaming on Paramount+. It’s haunted me ever since. Why? Well, first of all, how did that miss my radar? Not that I’m a huge fan of Rosemary’s Baby, butContinue Reading

Those all popped into my mind when I learned of Haunt Season, a forthcoming slasher movie from Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label, DREAD. I agree withContinue Reading
Visiting the Stanley is a bucket list travel destination for many macabre-minded restless spirits. For good reason. The hotel leans into its claim to fame as the inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining, offering ghost tours and inviting guests to stay in one of its haunted rooms. But what ifContinue Reading
Wow. There are a lot of new spooky shows dropping in time for Halloween this year, aren’t there? For instance, the third season of FROM returned to MGM+ on September 22, Destinations of the Damned with Zak Bagans premieres on October 4 on Discovery Channel, and Hysteria! hits Peacock onContinue Reading
“Wait! Don’t cancel your subscription yet!” Did anyone else feel that way after watching the teasers for Hysteria! and IT: Welcome to Derry? (The latter of which was included in a more comprehensive “Coming to Max in 2024-2025” trailer, which included a lot of other exciting teasers for new andContinue Reading
“PRESENCE: the new film from Steven Soderbergh – new teaser out now!” the subject line from Gofobo Screenings read. “Is it a horror movie?” I wondered. It sounded like it had the potential to be, so I clicked to read the synopsis and decide from there if I wanted toContinue Reading
“The Deliverance may become one of the best horror movies on Netflix in 2024,” Screen Rant proclaimed. Why? One very specific reason: “due to its terrifying use of demonic possession.” Well, that and the fact a true story inspired it, “making it scarier and more unnerving for audiences.” I thinkContinue Reading
Do you ever peruse the “New & Popular” section on Netflix? Sometimes I do, but not to see what’s new or popular. I can figure that out from the “New on Netflix” and “Top 10” movie and TV shows sections on the Home page. Rather, I like to peek atContinue Reading
