Have you seen the “Scarebnb Prank” that Madelaine Petsch, the star and executive producer of The Strangers: Chapter 1, pulled off? It made me understand why people strive to become influencers. A group of lucky ones experienced the perk of a lifetime. Well, if you consider it both “lucky” andContinue Reading
“That’s a movie I’d see in theaters,” I thought when the trailer for Abigail dropped at the beginning of this year. It looked fun and maybe like the ballet/vampire horror movie mashup we didn’t know we needed. I made a mental note to try to snag free passes if thereContinue Reading
Was Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House meant to serve as a warning or a cleverly disguised promo? That’s among the things I wondered after watching the Hulu documentary about the notorious McKamey Manor last year. A lot of accusations were made against owner Russ McKamey about just howContinue Reading
It’s been almost 70 years since Night of the Hunter premiered in 1955. By the time the remade version is released, it will have hit its platinum anniversary. That’s right. They’re redoing the classic (and terrifying!) thriller starring Robert Mitchum. (“They” being Scott Derrickson, who’s working on a script withContinue Reading
You could easily be forgiven if you didn’t think a THEM season 2 was happening either. I know I didn’t, and I was pretty bummed about it. Not that season 1 left off on a major cliffhanger or anything. Or, at least, not from what I remember. (That was threeContinue Reading
As you might expect, there’s some kind of spooky gathering happening somewhere in the U.S. every weekend in October, including paracons and horror fests. But they don’t just take place in October. Paracons and horror fests happen year-round. Some months, mainly the coldest, are slower than others. Typically, December throughContinue Reading
At first blush, Abigail, a new horror movie hitting theaters on April 19, doesn’t sound like a vampire movie. But as soon as you watch the trailer, you see it is. Here’s the synopsis from Universal: After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerfulContinue Reading
“Whatever happened to McKamey Manor?” I wondered not too long ago. In one of those serendipitous twists of fate, the Universe answered in an unlikely way. I was flipping through Hulu last week to see what new shows they had for Friday the 13th weekend, and boom. That’s when IContinue Reading
Well, it turns out I didn’t thoroughly research all the horror streaming services out there after all. I missed one. Dark Matter TV. What’s that saying? “Better late than never.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Especially because that saying also applies to “Darktober,” their month-long Halloween programmingContinue Reading
“CREATURE is a Captivating Historical Thriller Streaming only on Netflix October 20th,” the Gofobo email subject line read. #InterestPiqued. The synopsis that accompanied the trailer read: “When tragedy befalls a reckless scientist in Ottoman-era Istanbul, his student uses untested methods to finish his work with devastating consequences.” Oh, wait. IContinue Reading
I was a little bummed, not to mention surprised, there weren’t more horror movies releasing for 2023’s second Friday the 13th. Instead, it seemed like Friday, October 6, was the biggest release day, with offerings like The Exorcist: Believer (in theaters), Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (Paramount+), and Totally Killer (Prime Video).Continue Reading
Could the Hitchhiking Ghosts masks give Scream‘s Ghostface a run for his money? I think so. Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday may not have thrilled me, but Spirit Halloween’s Hitchhiking Ghosts masks made up for it. If there weren’t copyright issues, or if Disney went a little darker with its scaryContinue Reading
