One of the many benefits of genre storytelling is the way horror evokes extreme empathy. Watching a character confront adversity in horror offers a uniquely communal experience that builds understanding that bridges all walks of life. Shapeless explores the all-consuming addictive behaviors of an eating disorder, using psychological body horror to convey the toll it can

Saber Interactive’s action-strategy adaptation of World War Z is the latest title to get a current-gen upgrade, as well as a bevy of new content.

Hulu has been quietly making some huge plays, including acquiring rights to distribute the Hellraiser reimagining that is set to film this summer with David Bruckner (Southbound, V/H/S, The Ritual, The Night House) behind the camera. Without getting too complicated, Hellraiser creator Clive Barker regained his rights through a legal loophole, which was spearheaded by

Home invasion thrillers are inherently terrifying for corrupting the private space designated most for comfort and safety. The terror compounds when the home dweller can’t fight back easily; their vulnerability exacerbates the suspense tenfold—vulnerabilities like blindness. See for Me isn’t the first home invasion thriller to center around a blind character trying to evade the dangerous men

It’s certainly not a horror project but it’s worth noting that we’re being promised “bloodsoaked times” in a brand new The Lords of the Rings animated movie announced tonight.

It’s a music kind of day here on Bloody Disgusting, with two of my personal favorite bands dropping singles on the same day. (I’m not quite sure that’s ever happened before so I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.) Digressing, if you’ve never heard of Kristina Esfandiari, she’s a super talent who refuses to be

Released a few weeks ago on Netflix, Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead is the kind of big-budget, no-holds-barred romp that we don’t see too often in the horror genre. One that has the luxury of indulging in massive, CG assisted set-pieces, copious lashings of gore, and all of its directors’ eccentric ideas, as well

Video games have been a constant source of joy in my life, but my enjoyment hardly expanded into the horror genre for the longest time. My earliest memories tend to revolve around the various Mario games I owned on the Nintendo 64, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Super Smash

Would my horror journalist accreditation be revoked if I didn’t update my ranking of Warner Brothers’ Conjuring Universe (“Conjurverse,” to me) with every new canonical release? Of course not (because that’s not a real thing), but why not dissect totem dolls, sisterly sinners, and more possessions than Ash Williams could shake his boomstick at. What

Spotted by Persona Central, Shin Megami Tensei V will apparently launch for the Nintendo Switch on November 11 in an apparent “oops” by the game’s official Japanese

The box office refuses to die, rising from the grave thanks to several horror movies.

It’s now been nearly twenty years since Edgar Wright burst onto the scene with the horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead, which introduced Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to American audiences and won over horror fans and critics alike with its humor, lovable characters, and fun spin on zombie movie tropes.

And there’s nothing we love more than “very Sam Raimi.” When Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) stepped away from the project due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped in to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, a perfect fit given Raimi’s history with Marvel superhero movies and of course, horror movies.

The three-book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is still fondly remembered forty years after the publication of the first installment, giving nightmares to multiple generations of children with classic horror tales that were elevated by truly chilling illustrations.
