When it comes to Vegas, casinos and showgirls are usually the first things that come to mind, not horror. Because as far as U.S. cities go, Salem, Massachusetts, or New Orleans, Louisiana, may seem like more obvious choices for a horror capital than Las Vegas, Nevada. Both of those otherContinue Reading
At the start of each Sideworld documentary, George Popov delivers a monologue reminiscent of Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone introduction. It goes like this: “When the line between fact and fiction is enshrouded in mist and shadow, beyond that threshold is a place that can change our perspective on everything weContinue Reading
Good news, nerds. Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a Stranger Things prequel, is in the works. But there’s also some bad news on that front too. It’s headed for the stage, as in it’s going to be a play, not a Netflix movie or series. It will premiere in lateContinue Reading
Move over, leprechauns. The far darrig are here, which basically translates to “Red Man” in Irish. They’re a Little People type of faerie, or goblin, similar to leprechauns, except minus the pots of gold. They also sport different attire, including red coats and caps. Hence, why they’re called Redcaps inContinue Reading

If you want to see the neighborhood where Mike, Will, Lucas, and Dustin lived, the pool where Billy worked, or where the Mind Flayer nested, there’s a Stranger Things tour for that. Or maybe you want something more interactive, like jaunting inside Hawkins National Laboratory or venturing into the UpsideContinue Reading
The trailer for Unwelcome, a forthcoming creature feature, starts off innocently enough. So much so you might even mistake it for a romance or some other tamer genre. A couple inherits a country home that needs a little bit of work. But it isn’t long before there are signs you’reContinue Reading
Strange quests, an eerie presence, and a catfishing sociopath are among the horror, mystery, and thriller features premiering at the Slamdance Film Festival this year. Not to be confused with Sundance, which is happening around the same time and in the same place (Park City, Utah). While both are filmContinue Reading
2023 (or will we have to wait until 2024?) could be the year(s) of horror franchise prequel series. We know Crystal Lake, a Friday the 13th prequel series, is coming soon to Peacock, and Velma, a Scooby-Doo prequel series, recently premiered on HBO Max. But It has one in the works,Continue Reading
