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

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

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.

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+.

“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.

One of this year’s most entertaining horror movies so far is Willy’s Wonderland, which centers on Nicolas Cage battling evil animatronics in a Chuck E. Cheese like environment.

Horror stalwart Barbara Crampton‘s appearance in You’re Next marked the start of a prolific genre renaissance that includes producing as well as acting. All of that experience culminates in a monster-as-metaphor feature that attempts to retool the vampire mythos to allow its leading lady to sink her fangs into a meaty lead role. She’s acting opposite indie horror darling Larry
