“Is Linda Blair going to be in it too?” is the big question everyone’s asking after seeing the trailer for the new Exorcist movie, especially because Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn is reprising her role as Chris MacNeil, a.k.a. Regan’s mom. (“Regan,” of course, was the unfortunate little girl who was possessedContinue Reading
In addition to galleries full of movie-making memorabilia and information for cinephiles to enjoy (including horror movie artifacts), the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures also offers special programs and series. One special program that recently started is the “Dick Smith: Godfather of Makeup” screening series. Horror fans are often familiarContinue Reading
Sharksploitation is among the three serial killer documentaries streaming this summer. At first, I thought it was somewhat of a stretch including Sharksploitaiton on that list. But not now after having seen it. Not all shark movies have sharks who in essence are serial killers, but a good deal do.Continue Reading
Can you still call yourself a cinephile if you never heard of a SteelBook before? I had no idea what that was until I learned that Lionsgate is releasing five horror SteelBooks. The Walmart exclusives will arrive on September 12 but are already available for pre-order. (Non-affiliate links are includedContinue Reading
Holy Jigsaw, Batman. Have there really been eight sequels in the Saw franchise? Apparently so, because Saw X, the ninth one buzzes its way into theaters on September 29. We don’t know much about it yet, but we do know Tobin Bell is reprising his role as John Kramer. “Wait. Didn’tContinue Reading
Is there a definitive list of the best shark movies ever made? No. That would be too hard since they’re usually created based on personal preference. But that’s part of the appeal (and fun) of lists, right? We want to see if any of our faves made someone else’s listContinue Reading
Psychics. Screams. A seance. A Haunting in Venice may be the scariest Agatha Christie adaptation yet. Or perhaps ever. The trailer definitely gives off more of a horror movie vibe than any other Agatha Christie movie, including the two most recent. Which, if you’re wondering, yes. A Haunting in VeniceContinue Reading
“Again?” I groaned when I saw the email from Gofobo inviting me to watch the official Wonka trailer. “Do we really need another remake?” No disrespect to Johnny Depp. As far as character actors go, he’s a legend. Plus, he gravitates towards unusual characters, so it wasn’t surprising that heContinue Reading
The Warner Bros. Discovery merger may be impacting paranormal shows, but not Shark Week. This year it’s happening in July again (starting July 23) and will be hosted by Aquaman Jason Momoa. But Discovery isn’t the only place you’ll find sharks this month. Sharksploitation premieres on Shudder on July 21.Continue Reading
Are you a sucker for “based on a true story” or “inspired by” movies? I am. Big time. That’s why the forthcoming horror movie, Heir of the Witch, caught my attention. Victoria Bell, the movie’s writer, director, and star, drew inspiration for the movie from her grandmother, who was actuallyContinue Reading
Even though the trailer had piqued my interest, I put off watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’m aware of the D&D game, of course, but I never played it. Other than that it’s a fantasy-based role-playing game (RPG), I don’t even really know anything about it. But didContinue Reading
Why was I at first fooled by the ad for Insidious 5: The Red Door on Nextdoor? Because it fit right in with all the other scary posts I often see on the platform. Kidding. Well, sort of. I don’t know what Nextdoor posts in your area are like, but whereContinue Reading
