Of all the zombie movies that released in the wake of George A. Romero’s game-changing Night of the Living Dead, 1974’s Sugar Hill remains one of the most underseen outliers.

For starters, this week brings with it a preview of Halloween 2020’s offerings from LEGO. Set for release on August 1st, the “Halloween Hayride” set
The ‘90s often get a bad rap with horror fans. After the numerous successful slashers and creature effects films of the ’80s, the ‘90s offered a different variety of horror fare.

The horror-comedy DeadTectives has been streaming on Shudder for a while now, and we’ve learned today that RLJE Films is next bringing it to DVD later this month. DeadTectives will release on DVD July 21st. Meredith Borders praised the film in her Telluride review back in 2018, writing: “There’s not a single beat that doesn’t
