By the end of the game, you’ve been doing the same thing long enough that you are no

How’s this for a free game (or games, for that matter)? Seeing as this year was the 25th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series, Epic has decided to grant not one but three free Tomb Raider games for to cap off their free games blitz. What are those games, you might ask? That would be

Seeming like a repeat of last year, the video games industry was at the mercy of the global pandemic for a lot of its releases this year. While it’s true that the industry had to adjust to working remotely, that didn’t mean that we didn’t have the hits like Resident Evil Village and The Medium

Thanks to a never-ending pandemic, the past two years threw the release slate into a state of flux that still hasn’t let up: constant shifts, postponements, and a rearranging calendar. The one constant, as usual, is that horror thrives no matter the scenario. What that means for 2022 is that while many of the planned

Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States. Fears may not be universal, but one thing is for sure — a scream is understood, always and everywhere. The Land Down Under has a menacing reputation to outsiders, and Australian

Between a global pandemic that we’re still in the midst of and the increasing library of titles available for streaming, 2021 has been a strange comeback year for the movies.

As uncertain as everything might feel right now, we can always count on horror to overcome the odds and stay a part of our lives. The genre has been prolific in recent years, and 2021 was no different. This year alone saw a number of high-profile horror releases as well as smaller ones. Many of

2021 hasn’t concluded in a complete return to cinemas, but it’s been a wildly more uplifting year that’s allowed the entertainment industry to finally get back on track. The degree of catch up and cinematic holdovers that have fallen into 2021 have practically spoiled horror fans with an overload of highly anticipated content like Malignant,

Tits and Tongues &The Screw-Up Showcase We’re nearly ready to wrap up December – and 2021! It’s been another silly month on the podcast, including episodes on the bizarre queer antichrist/oatmeal zombie film Fear No Evil (1981), David Fincher’s feel bad holiday film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) and the queerest superhero film of all

Monsters rank near the very top of reasons why we love horror so much, and luckily 2021 horror gave us plenty. Archetypical vampires, ghosts, werewolves, and serial killers dominated, and franchise icons made their return. In such a packed year for horror releases, especially on the indie front, a monster needs to stand out through

We’re not aliens, we’re discontent. For the final installment of this season’s Randy’s Recs, which finds the Halloweenies dissecting a film that inspired the Scream franchise, the gang heads to Ohio.

As you may recall, NECA had several years back turned H.R. Giger‘s original translucent Xenomorph concept for Alien into an action figure, and now Mezco is doing the very same. The original prototype suit for the “Big Chap” Alien was cast in a translucent flesh-tone but repeated difficulties with the material forced the change to

Year two of an ongoing pandemic made for another fascinating year in horror. Last year’s delayed theatrical titles finally saw release in 2021, many of which experimented with day-and-date release strategies. Streaming services and VOD markets continued to bring an insane selection, and more film festivals joined the virtual space. All of which felt like
