Even though Weapons was written and directed by Zach Cregger, the same person who wrote and directed Barbarian, it brought to mind Talk To Me. Why? In the summer of 2023, Talk To Me was all anyone was talking about. (“Anyone” meaning horror lovers.) Similarly, Weapons has been on everyone’s lipsContinue Reading
Beware when shopping at the grocery store this fall, especially if you head down the beverage aisle. Unless you collect horror movie-inspired limited edition items. For a limited time, you’ll find the portraits of five horror icons gracing the packaging of Fanta. It’s part of a Halloween 2025 collab withContinue Reading

Sinners may not have been Fandango’s best pre-selling horror movie like The Monkey was earlier this year. (An honor that has now passed to The Black Phone 2.) But after it hit the big screen, praise for Sinners dominated my Bluesky feed. So much so that FOMO got the bestContinue Reading
