David Bruckner (The Night House), who helmed Netflix’s The Ritual as well as sections of Bloody Disgusting’s horror anthologies V/H/S and Southbound, is directing the relaunch of the Hellraiser franchise for Spyglass Media, set to be a Hulu feature film written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (SiREN, Super Dark Times, The Night House). Odessa A’zion was recently cast in a lead role, but we know very

While Hammer Studios has been in business since 1934, it was between 1955 and 1979 that it towered as one of the premier sources of edgy, gothic horror.

“We need to talk about Gordon,” as Phil (David Caruso) tells Mike (Stephen Gevedon) not long before all hell breaks loose in Session 9. But before we do, I should mention that this will not be a spoiler-free review but a deeper look into this unnerving cult film. I wouldn’t normally issue a spoiler alert

“I conceived Blood Conscious as a film that takes place the day after a slasher film,” writer-director Timothy Covell explains. “But instead of opening on the lone survivor of a campground massacre, we focus on the family who finds him, setting in motion a chain of paranoia that leads to even more bloodshed over the course of the ensuing

It would seem that one of new additions to the mythology in Nia DaCosta‘s upcoming Candyman is that the titular moniker doesn’t just describe a single character, but rather, as the trailers have been suggesting, “the whole damn hive.” In other words, there’s more than one “Candyman” at play here, including one character we’ve seen

The fictional town of Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, gets mentioned frequently in author Stephen King‘s works. Most famously, it’s the setting for his vampire novel ‘Salem’s Lot and, to a lesser extent, a stand-alone prequel short story “Jerusalem’s Lot.” The latter channeled Bram Stoker’s The Lair of the White Worm, with an 1850’s tale of terror told in the

“Slasher: Flesh & Blood,” the eight-episode fourth season of the horror anthology series, will unleash a brand new carnage-filled murder mystery starting this week on Shudder. Series creator Aaron Martin and showrunner Ian Carpenter have assembled a cast of new and familiar faces under the direction of Adam MacDonald (Pyewacket, Slasher: Solstice). Among those new faces

A new Richard Bates Jr project is always a cause for celebration because it’s guaranteed to a) make you squirm or b) make you laugh (often despite yourself). With King Knight, the writer/director, known for his caustic comedies and macabre horrors, delivers a bemusing property that broadly satirizes the New Age self-improvement movement, albeit with

A successful series usually occurs when a creator knows what its best qualities are, and builds on them or twists them into new and exciting ways. Capcom in particular has shown that in recent years with the revitalization of Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, but it’s important to note that before that, both series

Part classic 80s action film, part social satire (that sadly has become reality with each passing year), the RoboCop franchise has done capitalism right from toys, TV shows, comic books, cartoons, and of course, video games. And as is the norm, the video game adaptations run the gamut in quality, much like the later film

Mattel’s popular line of “Monster High” dolls has been catering to monster kids since 2010, the dolls depicting the daughters of iconic movie monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein. More recently, pop culture properties including The Shining and Stephen King’s IT found their way into the Monster High line, and up next Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice joins the

Robert Rodriguez‘s El Rey Network has done a ton of cool horror-related events over the years, but the best thing they achieved was a full-blown “From Dusk Till Dawn” series that ran for three seasons from 2014-2016. Now, Rodriguez has taken the once a linear cable TV channel and reformatted the Latino-focused brand for the

Conspiracy theories can be dangerous when taken at face value, especially now that the internet has made it hard for some folks to tell the difference between legitimate information and paranoid rambling. However, when used as a storytelling tool, conspiratorial thinking can also serve as a reminder about the merits of questioning authority and fighting

With Nia DaCosta‘s franchise relaunch Candyman finally coming to theaters on August 27, 2021, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with a series of video interviews that shed some new light on the film this week.

Welcome to Revenge of the Remakes, where columnist Matt Donato takes us on a journey through the world of horror remakes. We all complain about Hollywood’s lack of originality whenever studios announce new remakes, reboots, and reimaginings, but the reality?

Horror fans unanimously hate CGI. Rightfully so, but even with that truth, it’s not all bad. Great visual effects work is so good that the viewer won’t even notice. It’s the bad CGI that fails the eye test. It’s different when it comes to films like Venom and its forthcoming sequel Let There Be Carnage,

It’s not unusual for eras or decades of the horror genre to be categorized by one overarching theme or style. The eighties have become synonymous for their boom in low-budget, often sleazy, slasher films inspired by the cornerstone slashers of the mid-to-late seventies. The horrors of the 50s reflected cultural fears of science creating new
