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
You’d think a previous traumatizing Halloween Horror Nights experience would’ve been enough to last me a lifetime. Well, like myself, you’d be wrong. As I’ve admitted before, I’m a bawk, bawk chicken butt when it comes to Halloween-style haunted houses. Venturing to haunted places? No problem. Watching horror movies lateContinue Reading
Rotten Tomatoes is getting into the Halloween spirit with curated horror watchlists. But they’re also offering some creepy-cool horror-themed gift cards redeemable at Fandango and Vudu. All of this is well-timed, considering a lot of scary movies are releasing in theaters and/or becoming available to stream. Let’s check it out.Continue Reading
Since it is trick-or-treat season, Lionsgate picked the perfect time to release a few first-look photos from the forthcoming The Strangers trilogy. An exact release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the first one, The Strangers: Chapter 1, is set to hit theaters in 2024. But it’s never to early toContinue Reading
