It’s hard to overstate the importance of Tobe Hooper’s original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Not only is it a near-perfect scary movie, but it (alongside Bob Clark’s Black Christmas) also ushered in a new era of horror, setting the groundwork for countless Slasher flicks. Being such an influential property, it’s not surprising that the mad

The Collector franchise was set to become a trilogy as filming had begun in Atlanta on The Collected back in September of 2019. It’s unclear what caused production to shut down, but at one point, it was set to resume earlier this year in Vancouver, Canada. It hasn’t…and the filmmakers are pissed.

2013’s Evil Dead has aged incredibly well and has since become revered by many horror fans, including yours truly. As the years go by, it becomes one of my favorite horror films of all time.

Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a sequel to the original classic(s), is currently set for theatrical release on November 11, 2021, and we’ve got some fresh comments from star Bill Murray today.

Depending on your view of Seinfeld, RareBird Games’ upcoming Sinfeld Remastered is either your dream come true, or a nightmare upon a nightmare. Originally conceived in Media Molecule’s Dreams as Sinfeld Chronicles, the new version of the game will be headed to PC and the PlayStation 5 this October (thanks, AV Club). Essentially, the game

phantom limb /ˈfan(t)əm’lim/ n. an often painful sensation of the presence of a limb that has been amputated. Welcome to Phantom Limbs, a recurring feature which will take a look at intended yet unproduced horror sequels and remakes – extensions to genre films we love, appendages to horror franchises that we adore – that were sadly

The trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy is here and immediately calls to mind Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, this time sucking NBA superstar (and well-known horror fan) LeBron James into a “Serververse” where all of Warner Bros.’ iconic characters reside. The trailer reveals that James assembles his own “Dream Team” (how on brand),

Seventeen years after his Dawn of the Dead remake, Zack Snyder returns to the world of zombies with his new movie Army of the Dead, which has been in development for nearly just as long. Snyder’s latest, starring Dave Bautista and a whole bunch of undead flesh-eaters, is coming to Netflix on May 21, and we’ve got a fresh poster and some new stills

FX’s hugely popular “American Horror Story” franchise will premiere not only its tenth season – “American Horror Story: Double Feature” – this year but also a spinoff anthology series, which is titled “American Horror Stories.” And creator Ryan Murphy has taken to Twitter today to tease that “AHS” universe expansion, asking a question that has

Now streaming exclusively on HBO Max in either full color or black & white, the 4-hour “Snyder Cut” of Justice League represents director Zack Snyder‘s originally intended vision for the movie, with the additional scenes expanding upon the character work (notably, Ray Fisher‘s Cyborg), making Steppenwolf a stronger villain, and bringing Darkseid into the mix.

Darkness is a vital tool to horror. Horror and the dark are so intertwined that the idea of watching horror tends to evoke any imagery related to darkness, from night skies to pitch-black shadows. It harkens back to a primal fear that afflicts many from a young age- nyctophobia. Nyctophobia is an irrational, extreme fear

Fresh off his Oscar nomination for Minari, Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” Mayhem) is now in talks to join the cast of Jordan Peele‘s new movie, Deadline is reporting today.

As you may recall, James Wan had been developing an Aquaman spinoff that was set to be a full-on monster movie, centered on the ocean-dwelling race of creatures that made a memorable appearance in Wan’s 2018 superhero movie. It was to be titled The Trench, but unfortunately we’ve learned the news this week that Warner

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.

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

More like The Snooze We’re hurtling towards the end of March, which has been filled with a variety of disparate titles such as Friday the 13th Part 7, Diabolique, Scary Movie 2 and a special bonus episode on Servant season 2.

In addition to their recently announced “Kessler Wolf” action figure based on John Landis’s An American Werewolf in London, NECA has revealed tonight that the four Nazi nightmare mutants from one of the film’s most memorable scenes are also getting their own toys!

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
