Historically, horror movies get a bad rap. Granted, some deserve it. (Just like any other substellar movie.) But horror movies usually have questionable plot lines that beg us to stretch our imaginations and abandon disbelief. Often that’s not done well. And just as often, the storyline isn’t the only thingContinue Reading
Is A24 on a mission to supply 2024 with some of its best thriller movies? If Civil War, MaXXXine, and Heretic are any indications, the answer is yes. When it hit theaters in April, Civil War both terrified and beguiled audiences and critics alike. (Probably because nearly everyone agreed thatContinue Reading
The Beast Within trailer has generated many comments, including my favorite from @TheAutumnWind_RN4L: “That’s all I wanted him to say in season 8 of GOT.” They were referring to a line near the 1:52 mark where Kit Harington roars, “Kneel before your king!” So many people (myself included) would’ve loved toContinue Reading
Did you notice the question and number at the end of the MaXXXine trailer? What happens if you text it? Would you be taking a risk? Since it worked out okay last year when I texted “I want to play a game” to the number in the SAW X trailer,Continue Reading
“Kevin Bacon is even in it?” I thought when I watched the official trailer for MaXXXine, which dropped last week. Well, actually, my first thought was, “It’s finally coming out? Jeez. That was a painful wait.” Torturous, really, especially considering we were spoiled by X and Pearl, both of whichContinue Reading
If Longlegs is as creepy as its trailer, it may prove to be one of summer 2024’s creepiest movie offerings. According to Neon, “In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.” Emphasis onContinue Reading
Have you seen the “Scarebnb Prank” that Madelaine Petsch, the star and executive producer of The Strangers: Chapter 1, pulled off? It made me understand why people strive to become influencers. A group of lucky ones experienced the perk of a lifetime. Well, if you consider it both “lucky” andContinue Reading
“That’s a movie I’d see in theaters,” I thought when the trailer for Abigail dropped at the beginning of this year. It looked fun and maybe like the ballet/vampire horror movie mashup we didn’t know we needed. I made a mental note to try to snag free passes if thereContinue Reading
Was Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House meant to serve as a warning or a cleverly disguised promo? That’s among the things I wondered after watching the Hulu documentary about the notorious McKamey Manor last year. A lot of accusations were made against owner Russ McKamey about just howContinue Reading
It’s been almost 70 years since Night of the Hunter premiered in 1955. By the time the remade version is released, it will have hit its platinum anniversary. That’s right. They’re redoing the classic (and terrifying!) thriller starring Robert Mitchum. (“They” being Scott Derrickson, who’s working on a script withContinue Reading
You could easily be forgiven if you didn’t think a THEM season 2 was happening either. I know I didn’t, and I was pretty bummed about it. Not that season 1 left off on a major cliffhanger or anything. Or, at least, not from what I remember. (That was threeContinue Reading
As you might expect, there’s some kind of spooky gathering happening somewhere in the U.S. every weekend in October, including paracons and horror fests. But they don’t just take place in October. Paracons and horror fests happen year-round. Some months, mainly the coldest, are slower than others. Typically, December throughContinue Reading
