RoboDoc and Clue Movie doc Screambox posters

Screambox has rolled out some impressive documentaries lately. Earlier this summer, in June, it was the Robert Englund documentary. In August, they’ll offer two more: RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop and Who Done It: The Clue Documentary. But that’s not all. They also highlighted a few other movies joining theContinue Reading

Screenshot from Dear David trailer

“Engaging with trolls is like the worst possible use of your energy,” one of Adam Ellis’s Buzzfeed co-workers admonishes him in the Dear David trailer. Her warning is super sound advice because engaging with nasty keyboard warriors never leads anywhere productive or good. But it’s also what makes some ofContinue Reading

SAW X red band trailer image

Did you notice the invitation to text “I want to play a game” to 1-310-564-8144 in the SAW X trailer? You might have missed it. It flashed up briefly near the end, so you’d be forgiven if you sort of saw it but didn’t really. Or maybe you were distractedContinue Reading

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

“She wasn’t the type of witch that will do good things with those powers, or inspire or help those around her,” Heir of the Witch writer and director Victoria Bell explained. “She was doing actual things to harm people and especially her family.” Asking about Bell’s real-life Moldovan grandmother wasContinue Reading

Shudder logo

“Just give it five minutes,” I told myself as I braced to start watching When Evil Lurks (Cuando Acecha La Maldad), a new movie from Terrified writer and director Demián Rugna. You know how Indiana Jones says, “Snakes? Why did it have to be snakes?” That’s how I feel aboutContinue Reading

Poster for the new Exorcist movie, The Exorcist: Believer

“Is Linda Blair going to be in it too?” is the big question everyone’s asking after seeing the trailer for the new Exorcist movie, especially because Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn is reprising her role as Chris MacNeil, a.k.a. Regan’s mom. (“Regan,” of course, was the unfortunate little girl who was possessedContinue Reading

In addition to galleries full of movie-making memorabilia and information for cinephiles to enjoy (including horror movie artifacts), the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures also offers special programs and series. One special program that recently started is the “Dick Smith: Godfather of Makeup” screening series. Horror fans are often familiarContinue Reading

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
