If you asked me what's one 15-year-old horror film that you wouldn't expect to return in any capacity, I would have guessed the underrated 2005 film House of Wax.

It was inevitable: someone finally made a horror movie shot on zoom during lockdown where everyone, cast, crew, and director, were in isolation in their homes.

AMC's The Walking Dead amped up the paranoia, tension, and brutality with "Stalker" (check out our review here) – and our biggest highlight? Beta (Ryan Hurst) had a creepy horror movie-feeling mission to Alexandria to extricate Gamma (Thora Birch). To say he met some "pushback" would be an understatement – especially from Rosita (Christian Serratos) […]

Combine our professional obsession with uber-creative genius Ryan Murphy (Glee, Pose, 9-1-1, Feud, and a billion more) with our love for 80's horror/slasher film, and it's easy to understand why we're excited for FX's American Horror Story: 1984.

What if there were very real reasons to be afraid of summer camps, haunted houses, porcelain dolls, and other trappings of film horror? What if the people who survived those horrors – individuals who have found each other online – were the only ones who could stop the horrors still to come? That's the premise […]
For American Gods fans, it's still a very "plus/minus" time that's tough to reconcile. On the plus side, they feel great knowing that Starz renewed the series for a second season that's expected to begin filming January 2018.

I'd end up with some righteously crappy nightmares for the next five days, which is impressive considering I've been pretty conditioned for horror movies ever since I was a kid But this one got to me, and it was the intimacy of seeing it on television that made its horrific impact even more potent; and[...]
