To say the very least, 2020 has been an interesting year for anyone even tangentially involved in the film business – and, for that matter, for literally everyone. Period. After a couple months of steady theatrical releases, including Underwater and The Invisible Man, the entire industry was brought to a screeching halt when it became

It has been a tumultuous year for the music industry, but there was never a loss of resiliency or creativity. This year, the Lovecraft Country soundtrack made history by becoming the first-ever series scored by an online orchestra, with players from Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and the Toronto Symphony recording solo in
Finding positivity in the infamous year that is 2020 may seem like a challenge, especially in the film world. Ever since the pandemic became an unfortunate factor in our lives, one of the many side effects has been the rampant pushbacks of anticipated films to later dates, including horror films like A Quiet Place: Part
There’s never been a more brilliant, groundbreaking TV series than the Rod Serling-created “The Twilight Zone,” which was WAY ahead of its time back in the 50s/60s. The original series ran for five seasons from 1959 to 1964, and it’s still blowing minds all these years later. If you’re in the mood to revisit those
The vibe of family reunions has shifted significantly this year, no question about it. In a country that has been encouraged to stay home for the holidays, the traditional get-togethers for many families have either been called off or are being held in spite of guidelines. Even for families that are still meeting up this
A few days ago, NECA celebrated Christmas by providing a first-look preview of their upcoming action figure line based on Amazon’s “The Boys,” and we admittedly missed the reveal until today. In the event that anyone else did too, well, better late than never… right?! Check out NECA’s Homelander and Starlight action figures above and
2020 has been an absolute beast of a year in every capacity. The movie industry faced unprecedented upheaval and solutions are still being found on how to best release movies. This year has still featured some big movies, but there are a number of highly anticipated horror releases like Candyman, Halloween Kills, and Spiral: The
Released in 2011, Steven Soderbergh‘s thriller Contagion gained new relevance here in 2020 thanks to the eerie similarities to the real-life COVID-19 pandemic, shooting the movie to the top of VOD rental charts and spawning all kinds of tweets and think-piece articles. Now would be the time to make a sequel, it seems, and some
Welcome to Unveiling The Mind. This bi-monthly column explores psychological horror and representations of mental illness within the genre. Coming into my first viewing of Black Swan in 2010, I had no idea what I was about to see. At the time, I knew little of Darren Aronofsky‘s work. I had seen Requiem for a Dream
Capcom are apparently gearing up for Resident Evil Village (and perhaps the rumoured Resident Evil 4 remake) next year. In a tweet from the Resident Evil Ambassadors club account, Capcom has announced that the official Resident Evil website will be getting a facelift for the new year. “At the beginning of 2021, we’ll be launching
We really haven’t heard much of anything in regards to Endnight Games’ Sons of The Forest since it was briefly revealed back at last year’s Game Awards. Well, that (sort of) changes with a new trailer for the game, which adds more speculation as to what fans can expect once the game arrives, purportedly next
This Saturday we’re featuring a full day of horror shorts and anthologies on Bloody Disgusting TV, kicking things off with a Bloody Bites marathon featuring 11 episodes jam packed with short horror films. Then followed by the incredible Dead of Night, the V/H/S films, and The Portal. Catch the full schedule below. You can find
Christmas is the time of year that everyone gathers around the TV and partakes in wacky Christmas capers or sickly-sweet Christmas romance (I think some people worship and spend time with loved ones, but I was raised Jewish. We went to the movies and watched TV). Personally, I never got into Christmas movies (probably the
You always knew he’d call back. Bob Clark’s horror masterpiece Black Christmas has now been remade two times, most recently by Sophia Takal just last year, but those two films hardly aimed to recapture the eerie holiday creepiness of the 1974 proto-slasher. Filmmaker Dave McRae, however, is looking to do just that with his film It’s Me,
The theatrical release slate might have been limited this year, but it didn’t slow down horror in the slightest. Even with our most anticipated titles postponed, 2020 still delivered great genre offerings, and with it, a ton of great movie posters. A movie trailer has an average of two minutes’ worth of highlight footage to

You’ll mostly find family-friendly holiday classics like Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story on your television this week, but SYFY is going in a bit of a different direction. All Christmas day, SYFY will be airing holiday and winter-set horror movies including Santa Jaws and this year’s brand new movies Toys of Terror
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
