Sharksploitation key art

Sharksploitation is among the three serial killer documentaries streaming this summer. At first, I thought it was somewhat of a stretch including Sharksploitaiton on that list. But not now after having seen it. Not all shark movies have sharks who in essence are serial killers, but a good deal do.Continue Reading

Horror SteelBooks collection from Lionsgate

Can you still call yourself a cinephile if you never heard of a SteelBook before? I had no idea what that was until I learned that Lionsgate is releasing five horror SteelBooks. The Walmart exclusives will arrive on September 12 but are already available for pre-order. (Non-affiliate links are includedContinue Reading

Tobin Bell returns as John Kramer in Saw X

Holy Jigsaw, Batman. Have there really been eight sequels in the Saw franchise? Apparently so, because Saw X, the ninth one buzzes its way into theaters on September 29. We don’t know much about it yet, but we do know Tobin Bell is reprising his role as John Kramer. “Wait. Didn’tContinue Reading

Shark Fin for Shark Movies

Is there a definitive list of the best shark movies ever made? No. That would be too hard since they’re usually created based on personal preference. But that’s part of the appeal (and fun) of lists, right? We want to see if any of our faves made someone else’s listContinue Reading

A Haunting in Venice poster

Psychics. Screams. A seance. A Haunting in Venice may be the scariest Agatha Christie adaptation yet. Or perhaps ever. The trailer definitely gives off more of a horror movie vibe than any other Agatha Christie movie, including the two most recent. Which, if you’re wondering, yes. A Haunting in VeniceContinue Reading

Heir of the Witch still with Victoria Bell screaming and blood on her forehead

Are you a sucker for “based on a true story” or “inspired by” movies? I am. Big time. That’s why the forthcoming horror movie, Heir of the Witch, caught my attention. Victoria Bell, the movie’s writer, director, and star, drew inspiration for the movie from her grandmother, who was actuallyContinue Reading

The Insidious 5: The Red Door post on Nextdoor

Why was I at first fooled by the ad for Insidious 5: The Red Door on Nextdoor? Because it fit right in with all the other scary posts I often see on the platform. Kidding. Well, sort of. I don’t know what Nextdoor posts in your area are like, but whereContinue Reading

Natty Knock still with stars Bill Moseley and Robert Englund

Is Robert Englund going to be in horror movie news every month from now until Halloween? Not that I’m complaining, mind you. First, there was the hubbub leading up to the release of the Robert Englund documentary. Now there’s buzz about his newest forthcoming movie, Natty Knocks. However, it’s notContinue Reading

Lizzy Caplan in Cobweb

A fall feel is definitely prevalent in the trailer for Cobweb, a new horror movie releasing in select theaters on July 21. So is Halloween, both the season and the original 1978 movie. Although, it doesn’t appear Cobweb has anything to do with Michael Myers. Its tagline, however, hints atContinue Reading

The Last of Us HHN cover

Move over, Chucky. The Last of Us has also inspired a haunted house at this year’s Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). Although, to be fair to the Chucky haunted house, it hasn’t been formally revealed yet. However, it was teased at the end of last year on Halloween Horror Nights’Continue Reading
