Now that we're a few weeks into October and Halloween is inching it's way closer, there's always a little time for a good old-fashioned slasher movie marathon.

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. I also would have been completely wrong — but that's just the energy we're getting from 2020, isn't it? The 2005 film (a remake of the […]

#ALIVE might be the zombie movie of the moment. It's a tightly-written, no-holds-barred zombie movie that features a hero trapped in lockdown during the zombie apocalypse because it's not safe to go outside. Sound familiar?

In 1992, seven years before The Blair Witch Project, long before social media became a big part of everyone's lives, a BBC TV play had its one broadcast on Halloween night.

It is also the best horror movie out right now, and that's saying a lot in a crowded field of direct-to-streaming low-budget horror movies currently available It's gotten justifiably rave reviews, a British horror movie shot in lockdown with a director, cast and crew all working from their own locations in isolation.[caption id="attachment_1247071" align="aligncenter" width="600"][...]

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. Host – now streaming on Shudder – has a deceptively simple premise: a bunch of friends, bored during the lockdown, decide to host a séance on zoom for fun. […]

Everyone is terrified of Asian ghost women. You know what they look like: long black hair, dark as ink, that trails all the way down, sometimes covering their faces. They usually have white gowns, occasionally dirty, sometimes bloody, but always white. They're an archetype; the white gowns or dresses might signify Death, what they wore […]

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) […]

After the recent conversations surrounding the PG-13 remake of a remake for Black Christmas, many horror fans are concerned about the limitations it may be given.

After the positive reviews surrounding the Jordan Peele horror film Us, fans of the movie wondered if there could be potential for more because of the film's ambiguous conclusion — but the answer seems unlikely for at least one key player. As the follow-up to Peele's Oscar-winning debut with Get Out, the writer and director […]

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. In fact, executive producer Tim Minear only confirmed our excitement when he said this about the current […]

Last month, Murphy posted to social media a teaser video for the upcoming season’s theme: AHS 1984 (expected to return to FX this fall) – and now we have the official teaser from the upcoming season: “The Woods”:https://youtu.be/wA8oSYeos5AIn the teaser above, we see a disturbing nod to the “killer-in-the-woods” theme prevalent in many horror movies of the time –[...]

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. On the minus side, they find themselves stuck knee-deep in the long haul that is…The Wait Between […]

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[...]
