We told you that May 2026 was set to be a massive month for brand new horror movies, but what about April 2026? This month is equally loaded with fresh nightmares, from originals like The Yeti, Thrash, Thinestra, and Hunting Matthew Nichols to new takes on classic franchises and iconic monsters including Faces of Death

It’s obvious why some recurring horror tropes are so popular if you really think about why they exist in the first place. For instance, Final Girls are more common than Final Guys because society tends to view women as being more vulnerable, and most modern movie monsters are allegories for grief because the fear of

With its meta horror remake hitting theaters next week, the original Faces of Death is coming to 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray fully uncut. Available for $42.99 exclusively from Vinegar Syndrome, the set is limited to 5,000 units and will ship later this month. The controversial 1978 faux documentary has been newly restored in 4K

It will premiere at Fantaspoa in Brazil on April 11 before

WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Faces of Death (2026). Every horror fan has seen their fair share of death scenes. A defining characteristic of the genre, we also all remember the first time we had to cover our eyes or frantically look away from the screen, convinced we’d pushed ourselves too far outside

Franchise star Jennifer Tilly recently teased that “more Chucky is in the works” in the wake of the television series coming to an end after three seasons, but is the killer doll plotting a return to the big screen or the small screen? Franchise creator Don Mancini has revealed more at Steel City Con in

Terror Films Releasing is teaming with filmmakers Josh Funk and Dustin Vaught to release horror-comedy The Fuzzies, centered around the puppetry and practical effects of its murderously playful puppets.

Sequels, horror or otherwise, often face uphill battles, particularly when their predecessors are Academy Award-caliber classics. It’s easy to inherently dismiss titles like Psycho II, The Exorcist III, and The Fly II, but to do so is to overlook valuable horror movies that take their precursors’ ideas and push them to challenging new places. Everybody

A South Carolina town contends with rapidly rising floodwaters from a raging Category 5 hurricane in Thrash, and that’s before the sharks arrive for a storm-induced feeding frenzy. Writer/Director Tommy Wirkola (Violent Night,Dead Snow) combines a natural disaster flick with shark horror, made more suspenseful by his approach to utilizing as many practical effects as

Americans in London. It’s been a month of Jack the Ripper texts onMurder Made Fiction podcast and while the quality has been consistent, the approach to arguably one of the most famous unsolved murders in true crime history has varied widely. Naturally made-for-TV movies like 1997’s The Ripper (listen here) and the Michael Caine-led Jack

It’s been 20 years since Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon introduced audiences to an unconventional new slasher icon, and fans have clamored for a sequel since. After multiple false starts, it’s now official: the long-awaited sequel is finally moving forward. Behind the Mask director Scott Glosserman and writer David J. Stieve have

“The Witch Farm,” BBC Radio 4‘s hit paranormal podcast hosted by Danny Robins, is being adapted into a supernatural thriller series. Deadline reports that the BBC has greenlit a four-part series written by Robins and directed by Stacey Gregg (“Bad Sisters”). Gabrielle Creevy (“Black Doves”) and Michael Socha (“Chernobyl”) will star, with filming due to

It’s not really a slasher movie without teens drinking booze, getting high, and having sex, and you’ll be able to do at least two of those things in the upcoming Halloween video game. We learned last week that you’ll be able to get high like Laurie and Annie did in John Carpenter’s original slasher classic,

The Boys are back in town. After four seasons absolutely roasting the superhero genre (and life as we generally know it), Eric Kripke and his crew have proven time and time again that no one does viscera quite like Homelander, Butcher, and their ragtag bunch of misfits. With the final season of the clever Prime

The Hillbilly gets his own origin story in Titan Comics and Behaviour Interactive’s brand-new comic book series based on the hugely popular horror video game Dead by Daylight.

It was back in September of last year that the four-episode series “Marvel Zombies” took a bite out of Disney+, but will we be getting a second season of the animated series? Chatting with The Escape Pod this week, Marvel’s Head of Streaming, Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum spilled the beans that “Marvel Zombies” Season

The Boys was genuinely shocking when it first made its debut in 2019. There was an exciting energy to it that was practically unprecedented in live-action superhero storytelling at the time. It was edgy, angry anarchy that’s now just the status quo. With two spin-offs and two more on the way, The Boys has increasingly

Almost every region has its own version of a mysterious, ape-like hominid that’s been widely reported but never confirmed. The U.S. has Bigfoot, Australia has the Yowie, and South Africa has the Waterbobbejan. As for the Himalayan mountain range in Asia, the Yeti (or Abominable Snowman) is what springs to mind when you describe a

As someone who was in his mid-teens during the original Playstation era, Legacy of Kain was particularly up my alley. While Blood Omen was definitely in line with the edgy content I was looking for, the game that got its hooks in me was Soul Reaver. The more-than-25-year time gap since I last played the

If last week’s trailer left you hungry for more, today brings the first clip from Deep Water. In the video, Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) and Molly Belle Wright (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever) attempt to save a fellow plane crash survivor from an encroaching shark… but it may be too late. Directed by Renny

Few subgenres in horror are so maligned as the ’90s slasher. Aside from the meta-perfection of Wes Craven’s Scream, many are dismissed as toothless copycats or formulaic retreads of familiar concepts. But there’s a surprising amount of gold to mine in the last gasp of 20th-century horror. Not only are ’90s slashers usually stylish and

With Scream 7 now playing in theaters, we figured it was time to put together the ultimate and definitive ranking of the entire Screamfranchise. But that simply wouldn’t be possible by just polling members of the Bloody Disgusting team. That would be OUR ranking rather than YOUR ranking, and it could hardly be considered definitive

In what’s probably the least shocking news of this week, Resident Evil Requiem is a success. Capcom has announced that the ninth entry in the main series has now surpassed 5 million units since its launch back on February 27. If that doesn’t smell like success, Capcom also revealed that cumulative game sales since the

In the woods, a mother cried, and wished for a love, long denied. She soon appeared, a child of grace, ‘til evil struck with his dark embrace. The girl now hides, behind a mask. To raise her own, long at last. That’s about as much backstory as you’ll get about Dolly, the main antagonist in
