Thank you, 2024. So far just in January, you’ve given us some great true crime docuseries, including Natalia Speaks and now American Nightmare. All I knew about the case covered in American Nightmare prior to watching was how Netflix described it: After a home invasion and abduction, a young couple’sContinue Reading
At first blush, Abigail, a new horror movie hitting theaters on April 19, doesn’t sound like a vampire movie. But as soon as you watch the trailer, you see it is. Here’s the synopsis from Universal: After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerfulContinue Reading
After watching the trailer for True Detective: Night Country, I wondered a couple of things. The first was whether 30 Days of Night was based on a true story. (Minus the vampires, of course.) Because like 30 Days of Night, which was set in Barrow, Alaska, (or Utqiagvik as it’sContinue Reading
The wait finally ended. Natalia Speaks, the much-anticipated follow-up docuseries to ID’s 2023 bombshell docuseries, The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, premiered at the start of this year. (Originally, ID said it’d be released in late summer of 2023.) One key player, Natalia herself, wasn’t among those interviewed in theContinue Reading
A vampire beauty pageant? By all accounts, that’s what the post of an old black-and-white photo of a man crowning a gothic-looking dark-haired woman portrayed. Back when I was still on what was known as Twitter, someone I followed posted it. He’s since deleted his account, or I’d share itContinue Reading
The first words we hear from David Glatzel in Netflix’s The Devil on Trial documentary is him introducing himself. Then he explains, “When I was 11, I was possessed by the devil.” There was another documentary about the case, The Devil Made Me Do It Shock Docs, which premiered onContinue Reading
“Whatever happened to McKamey Manor?” I wondered not too long ago. In one of those serendipitous twists of fate, the Universe answered in an unlikely way. I was flipping through Hulu last week to see what new shows they had for Friday the 13th weekend, and boom. That’s when IContinue Reading
Well, it turns out I didn’t thoroughly research all the horror streaming services out there after all. I missed one. Dark Matter TV. What’s that saying? “Better late than never.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Especially because that saying also applies to “Darktober,” their month-long Halloween programmingContinue Reading
“CREATURE is a Captivating Historical Thriller Streaming only on Netflix October 20th,” the Gofobo email subject line read. #InterestPiqued. The synopsis that accompanied the trailer read: “When tragedy befalls a reckless scientist in Ottoman-era Istanbul, his student uses untested methods to finish his work with devastating consequences.” Oh, wait. IContinue Reading
I was a little bummed, not to mention surprised, there weren’t more horror movies releasing for 2023’s second Friday the 13th. Instead, it seemed like Friday, October 6, was the biggest release day, with offerings like The Exorcist: Believer (in theaters), Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (Paramount+), and Totally Killer (Prime Video).Continue Reading
“I’m—I’m shit scared. I’m terrified,” Kudzanai says in “Believers,” the second episode of Netflix’s four-part docuseries Encounters. That’s how he felt following his sighting. He and his brother Tapfu were among the over 60 students who reported seeing a UFO and mysterious being during break time at the Ariel SchoolContinue Reading
Rotten Tomatoes is getting into the Halloween spirit with curated horror watchlists. But they’re also offering some creepy-cool horror-themed gift cards redeemable at Fandango and Vudu. All of this is well-timed, considering a lot of scary movies are releasing in theaters and/or becoming available to stream. Let’s check it out.Continue Reading
