Screenshot of Harold Perrineau in FROM season 3 trailer

“Use this as a ‘I’m tired of waiting for Stranger Things and will watch FROM because they don’t make me wait 3 years for another season’ button.” That comment from @jasiablessing was by far my favorite of all those left on the FROM season 3 trailer. It completely personifies whyContinue Reading

Bagman poster

“Do you remember the Bagman?” the email subject line asked. It included a first look at the trailer, poster, and a still from the forthcoming horror movie. The poster with the creepy cracked-hand finger pressed against the mouth of the doll with the voodoo-ish-looking button eyes intrigued me. No. I’veContinue Reading

A lake like where Friday the 13th was filmed

I wouldn’t consider myself a full-blown set-jetter. More of an occasional one. But I have been known to curate trips that include visiting places where movies (horror or otherwise) were filmed. One place I’m curious to check out but haven’t made it to yet is Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, the real-life BoyContinue Reading

Round the Decay still

Round the Decay says it drew inspiration from horror movies like Pumpkinhead (1988) and Cube (1997). Interesting choices considering it also promises to deliver “a fresh take on the monster movie formula with roots extending into psychological and folk horror.” Will it? We’ll have to wait and see, and we’llContinue Reading

Speak No Evil poster

Vacation Friends was the first movie that came to mind when I watched the trailer for Speak No Evil. The pitfalls of what may happen when you befriend strangers on vacation inspired both. Except, where Vacation Friends used humor to highlight how that could go sideways, Speak No Evil honesContinue Reading

Spooktacular Prime Day 2024 Deals

Ghosts on Canvas wall art.  Gothic cat trees with coffin beds. A NOLA Crypt Horror Ornament. These are just a few of my favorite creepy things in the Skareporium that are included in the Prime Day 2024 deals. And I’m not just impressed because they’re on sale. I’m amazed thatContinue Reading

Original Jaws movie poster

Historically, horror movies get a bad rap. Granted, some deserve it. (Just like any other substellar movie.) But horror movies usually have questionable plot lines that beg us to stretch our imaginations and abandon disbelief. Often that’s not done well. And just as often, the storyline isn’t the only thingContinue Reading

Heretic poster

Is A24 on a mission to supply 2024 with some of its best thriller movies? If Civil War, MaXXXine, and Heretic are any indications, the answer is yes. When it hit theaters in April, Civil War both terrified and beguiled audiences and critics alike. (Probably because nearly everyone agreed thatContinue Reading

Kit Harington Beast Within poster

The Beast Within trailer has generated many comments, including my favorite from @TheAutumnWind_RN4L: “That’s all I wanted him to say in season 8 of GOT.” They were referring to a line near the 1:52 mark where Kit Harington roars, “Kneel before your king!” So many people (myself included) would’ve loved toContinue Reading

Number in Maxxxine trailer

Did you notice the question and number at the end of the MaXXXine trailer? What happens if you text it? Would you be taking a risk? Since it worked out okay last year when I texted “I want to play a game” to the number in the SAW X trailer,Continue Reading

Kevin Bacon screenshot Maxxxine

“Kevin Bacon is even in it?” I thought when I watched the official trailer for MaXXXine, which dropped last week. Well, actually, my first thought was, “It’s finally coming out? Jeez. That was a painful wait.” Torturous, really, especially considering we were spoiled by X and Pearl, both of whichContinue Reading

Longlegs poster

If Longlegs is as creepy as its trailer, it may prove to be one of summer 2024’s creepiest movie offerings. According to Neon, “In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.” Emphasis onContinue Reading
