Dementia Part II, the latest Bloody Disgusting x Dark Star Pictures collaboration, was born from a dare out of Chicago’s Cinepocalype Film Festival. The gauntlet was thrown; producers JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules were challenged to produce a feature-length midnight movie from concept to finished product in one month so that it could make its

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. It was Alvin Schwartz who wrote the stories, and artist Stephen Gammell who brought them
Hear me out: Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead is a lowkey thriller. Okay, okay, it’s probably more like a black comedy in line with Heathers or its spiritual sequel series, Dead to Me ─ so let me explain. Following its summer ‘91 theatrical run, and once it hit TV syndication and VHS rental, my

Sometimes, passionate developers and the clever use of beloved IPs can be enough to overcome limited budgets and impossible deadlines, resulting in quite a few hidden gems even in
Predatory Pussy. May has been all over the place for Horror Queers. We began with super underrated DTV Mirror Mirror, stirred controversy with The Faculty (they’re all queer people – get over it), and revisited the legacy of Saw in time for Spiral‘s theatrical debut. Now we’re dipping our toe into modelling with Nicolas Winding Refn‘s The
Those of you who spent your college nights playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the free-to-play team-based multiplayer spin-off from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, probably remember that the game was originally to include a single player campaign that unfortunately never saw the light of day. Lucky for us, Dark Matter Productions’ William Faure, author of the The
Although a perfectly valid criticism to make, it often seems like people hurl accusations of ‘’tonal inconsistency’’ at any piece of media that dares to experiment with more than one flavour. I cannot tally the number of reviews I’ve come across where a movie has been attacked for having a serious moment followed by a
Once again, fans are coming to the rescue for the Fallout series, as modding group The United West Team have revealed that they’re currently working on “Revelation Blue”, a remake of the cancelled Fallout 2 sequel, Van Buren. For those unaware, former Fallout series developer Black Isle Studios way back when was working on a
A lot of horror fans assume that the “Slasher Flick” was killed off in the 90s, with the most likely culprit being Wes Craven’s loving satire, Scream. While it’s true that the many incarnations of Ghostface helped to expose the subgenre’s overused tropes and weaknesses, slasher movies never really died; they just became less mainstream

Formative Fears is a column that explores how horror scared us from an early age, or how the genre contextualizes youthful phobias and trauma. From memories of things that went bump in the night, to adolescent anxieties made real through the use of monsters and mayhem, this series expresses what it felt like to be a
Technically part of the Conjuring Universe, 2019’s folklore-based The Curse of La Llorona paved the way for director Michael Chaves to take the reigns from James Wan for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and now La Llorona is joining the Funko family. Announced tonight as part of Funko’s ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two
