Celebrating her 40th anniversary this year, Elvira has announced a brand new upcoming comic book as part of her partnership with Dynamite Comics, titled The Death of Elvira! Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast this week, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson teased the upcoming comic, which should be a must-read for all Elvira fans. “I’ve got

23 years ago, Kevin Williamson wrote and directed Teaching Mrs. Tingle, a film that saw a good student (Katie Holmes) hold a vindictive teacher (Helen Mirren) hostage in her own home after she is caught cheating. It was a dark comedy, but due to its proximity to the Columbine High School massacre it was a watered-down

This installment of Phantom Limbs finds us cutting into the intended third and fourth seasons MTV’s Scream: The TV Series. While the first two seasons of the film series-inspired television slasher followed one particular group of characters whose stories were left unresolved when MTV rebooted the series with the unrelated Scream: Resurrection, the initial plan

When he was sixteen years old, Tod Browning ran away with the circus. Technically speaking it was a travelling show called the Manhattan Fair & Carnival Company which he joined after becoming enthralled with one of its dancers. He held several jobs in various carnivals, circuses, and sideshows including barker, escape artist, clown, and stable

I’ve spent the best part of three weeks playing Elden Ring. I’d put off this review another few weeks if I could, not because I’m unsure about my feelings on the game, but because I don’t want to put any kind of finality on one of the best game experiences I’ve had for a long

Horror is filled with unlucky characters. Ever since Little Maria (Marilyn Harris) innocently played with Frankenstein’s Monster (Boris Karloff) on a peaceful lake shore and Count Orlok (Max Schreck) moved in across the street from Nosferatu’s Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) and Ellen (Greta Schröder), the genre has been filled with stories of regular people who

Defining the actual meaning of the term “roguelike” has been a subject mired in debate for well over a decade. Roguelike games are typically associated with the style of gameplay that sees our digital protagonist fight their way through endless enemies, with the threat of permadeath lurking over their heads.   Elements such as resource management

January is so often seen as a dumping ground for films that studios have little faith in, either for any awards consideration or box office success. If a film isn’t Oscar bait or likely to be a summer blockbuster, January is where they’re dropped. To be fair, there is at least some truth in this.

After winning the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Nikyatu Jusu‘s horror movie Nanny has been picked up by Blumhouse and Amazon. Deadline reports that “Blumhouse and Prime Video have won world rights” to the film. The site adds, “Jason Blum saw the movie and instantly fell for it so wanted to

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Shane Black’s underappreciated 2018 sequel/reboot, The Predator. The Predator franchise has always walked the line between action and horror, with most of the films being structured like sci-fi slashers where the victims are just badass enough to have a fighting chance. This is obviously a

AMC’s spinoff “Fear the Walking Dead” is coming back this spring with Season 7 Part 2, and we’ve learned today that the brand new episodes will premiere on April 17, 2022.

It’s another big week for the horror genre, with a whopping 11 brand new horror movies headed our way. And once again, they’re all originals – no remakes, no sequels, no reboots!

Family horror is a sub-genre that hasn’t really been given its due in recent years. Popular IPs like Goosebumps have been adapted into films that emphasize comedy over horror, and it’s nigh impossible to find any original family horror films getting released nowadays. We’ve had films like Monster House, Coraline and Joe Dante’s under-seen The Hole, but

No matter the production, whether it’s a small indie horror movie or a summer blockbuster, actor Nicolas Cage always turns in a memorable performance. He’s a Hollywood performer and icon like no other, which means only Cage could take on a role like the lead in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The meta-action comedy sees Cage playing

I have always been a fan of that most improbable of all subgenres, the horror comedy. It has been around for a very long time, dating back to the silent era with The Cat and the Canary and the early talkies with James Whale’s genre twisting films like The Old Dark House and Bride of

A livestreaming internet personality running afoul of vengeful spirits in real-time reads like a recognizable setup, especially in the found footage category. Deadstream isn’t interested in retreading familiar ground, though. Writers/Directors Vanessa Winter and Joseph Winter eschew expectations and instead deliver a delightfully raucous splatstick horror-comedy that’ll leave the midnight crowd cheering for more. In addition to co-writing, co-directing, co-editing, producing,
