Horror

phantom limb /ˈfan(t)əm’lim/ n. an often painful sensation of the presence of a limb that has been amputated. Welcome to Phantom Limbs, a recurring feature which will take a look at intended yet unproduced horror sequels and remakes – extensions to genre films we love, appendages to horror franchises that we adore – that were sadly

The trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy is here and immediately calls to mind Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, this time sucking NBA superstar (and well-known horror fan) LeBron James into a “Serververse” where all of Warner Bros.’ iconic characters reside. The trailer reveals that James assembles his own “Dream Team” (how on brand),

Seventeen years after his Dawn of the Dead remake, Zack Snyder returns to the world of zombies with his new movie Army of the Dead, which has been in development for nearly just as long. Snyder’s latest, starring Dave Bautista and a whole bunch of undead flesh-eaters, is coming to Netflix on May 21, and we’ve got a fresh poster and some new stills

FX’s hugely popular “American Horror Story” franchise will premiere not only its tenth season – “American Horror Story: Double Feature” – this year but also a spinoff anthology series, which is titled “American Horror Stories.” And creator Ryan Murphy has taken to Twitter today to tease that “AHS” universe expansion, asking a question that has

Now streaming exclusively on HBO Max in either full color or black & white, the 4-hour “Snyder Cut” of Justice League represents director Zack Snyder‘s originally intended vision for the movie, with the additional scenes expanding upon the character work (notably, Ray Fisher‘s Cyborg), making Steppenwolf a stronger villain, and bringing Darkseid into the mix.

Darkness is a vital tool to horror. Horror and the dark are so intertwined that the idea of watching horror tends to evoke any imagery related to darkness, from night skies to pitch-black shadows. It harkens back to a primal fear that afflicts many from a young age- nyctophobia. Nyctophobia is an irrational, extreme fear

Fresh off his Oscar nomination for Minari, Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” Mayhem) is now in talks to join the cast of Jordan Peele‘s new movie, Deadline is reporting today. Keke Palmer (“Scream”) was recently set to star, with Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) in talks. The movie is untitled at this time, with plot details under

As you may recall, James Wan had been developing an Aquaman spinoff that was set to be a full-on monster movie, centered on the ocean-dwelling race of creatures that made a memorable appearance in Wan’s 2018 superhero movie. It was to be titled The Trench, but unfortunately we’ve learned the news this week that Warner

Perhaps rightfully so, the live-action television adaptation of the famous R.L. Stine children’s horror books, Goosebumps, has become quite infamous for its next-level cheesiness and inability to provide even the most minor of frights to children. Quite the issue when your key demographic can’t bring it upon themselves to react as intended, but there is

As a general rule of thumb, inventory management is a necessary evil for video games, there only to prevent you from accumulating too much power at once. It’s not really intended to be fun in and of itself, unless you happen to derive great pleasure from sifting through long menus or calculating weight thresholds. Rather,

Knives Out was a massive hit for Lionsgate back in 2019, pulling in over $300 million worldwide at the box office, so it was only natural that a sequel wouldn’t be too far behind. In fact, it was announced some time ago that a sequel was being developed, and now Deadline reports tonight that *two*

Another instance of taking news with your salt, according to a recent Twitch stream by Game Mess Show’s Jeff Grubb, Alan Wake fans may finally be getting the sequel that they’ve been longing for. According to Grubb (with Nibel grabbing the clip in question), in lieu of buying exclusivity rights to games as they’ve been

While we continue waiting for his return in the upcoming Terrifier 2, Trick or Treat Studios has just put up for grabs their own officially licensed action figure of Art the Clown! The 1:6 scale figure is now available for pre-order ($129.99), shipping in October. The company details, “This amazing figure features 30+ points of

The wait for Mortal Kombat will be just a tad bit longer, we’ve learned tonight, previously dated for release on April 16th but now bumped to April 23rd as of this moment in time. The rated “R” adaptation of the games comes to theaters and HBO Max same day. Presumably, it’s been slightly bumped to

A series adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling Grishaverse novels, Netflix‘s “Shadow and Bone” is coming to the streaming service on April 23, 2021, and the full trailer has arrived. “Shadow and Bone” finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting

Horror is so often defined by a sense of place. It’s the first thing that sets the tone for a game, before you run into any creatures or puzzles. The first Resident Evil struck a chord with many due to its impressive and imposing setting, and since then the series has brought us to many

On the road to this week’s release of Godzilla vs. Kong, director Adam Wingard (V/H/S, You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch) has set up his next project, a feature film adaptation of the beloved 1980s animated series “ThunderCats” for Warner Bros! Deadline reports that Wingard is directing the film and also writing the script with frequent

More like The Snooze We’re hurtling towards the end of March, which has been filled with a variety of disparate titles such as Friday the 13th Part 7, Diabolique, Scary Movie 2 and a special bonus episode on Servant season 2. For the second last week of the month, we’re returning to the turn of the century with

In addition to their recently announced “Kessler Wolf” action figure based on John Landis’s An American Werewolf in London, NECA has revealed tonight that the four Nazi nightmare mutants from one of the film’s most memorable scenes are also getting their own toys! The half-human/half-werewolf creatures appeared in a nightmare sequence in the 1981 horror

While it could very well just be for an update to allow newer PCs to be able to play the game, Square Enix has nonetheless pulled Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver from Steam. As reported by VGC, the page is still very much there, but instead of giving you the option to buy the game,

It’s been a year – give or take – since the pandemic forced a global economic shutdown. One of the casualties was the box office, a transformative event that forced studios to push many of their theatrical releases direct to VOD. The mass experiment was both a success and a failure, one that’s impossibly hard

Scares can come from anywhere. And the most unforgettable fear-inducing moments of cinema often happen outside the realm of the genre entirely, when you least expect it. Horror movies set the anticipation for scares, but that’s not the primary emotional response expected in comedies, dramas, and beyond. We’ve celebrated numerous scenes from non-horror movies that

While we still don’t have a definitive release date for LKA’s psychological horror title Martha is Dead, we do have a new trailer that was unveiled as part of Gamesradar’s Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Dubbed “Fresh Flies”, the trailer doesn’t waste any time getting into your head with the creepy imagery and unsettling music, touching

Before he took a trip to the Overlook Hotel to adapt Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan first dipped his toes into Stephen King‘s library with Gerald’s Game, a novel previously thought to be unfilmable. Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood star as a couple trying to spice up their marriage in a remote lake house. After the

Alongside grotesque bioweapons, spurious conspiracies, and demented interior design, puzzles are an inextricable part of Resident Evil’s DNA. In fact, they’re so tightly woven into the very fabric of the series, that it feels wrong whenever they’re sidelined. It’s just not an authentic RE experience if you don’t get hopelessly stuck, trying to figure out

As studios continue to rework their distribution plans in the wake of the ongoing pandemic, Paramount Pictures announced that Blumhouse’s upcoming new installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise would be going straight to Paramount+. At the time, a March 4, 2022 date had been slotted, although it was unclear if there would be a theatrical component to

They’re dying to save the world. Just five short years after the release of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, WB/DC is kinda-sorta hitting the reboot button with James Gunn‘s sequel The Suicide Squad, and the official Red Band trailer has arrived this afternoon. True to Gunn’s on-brand vision, this first look at the movie is loaded with personality, humor

Well, that didn’t take long. After announcing last week that their 2021 edition of the demo disc would be released “later this month”, Haunted PS1 has delivered the goods. You can grab the demo disc for free from their itch.io site. Here’s the complete list of demos available in the disc: As Haunted PS1 has

Shudder acquired North American rights to the vampire comedy Boys from County Hell last year, and they’ve unleashed the trailer for the Irish horror-comedy this afternoon. Additionally, we’ve learned the film will take a bite out of Shudder on April 22. In this one, “Strange events unfold in Six Mile Hill – a sleepy Irish

“Everything seems to just keep us here.” Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England, High-Rise, Rebecca, The Meg 2) shot a micro-budget horror movie during quarantine last year, titled In the Earth. NEON will be bringing Wheatley’s latest to theaters on April 23, and the official trailer has debuted today. Meagan Navarro wrote in her Sundance review for BD,
