Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday may not have thrilled me, but Spirit Halloween’s Hitchhiking Ghosts masks made up for it. If there weren’t copyright issues, or if Disney went a little darker with its scaryContinue Reading
You’d think a previous traumatizing Halloween Horror Nights experience would’ve been enough to last me a lifetime. Well, like myself, you’d be wrong.

I know this sounds crazy, but in years past, the original Halloween used to prove tricky to find on TV during October. You know, back when cable ruled, On Demand was in its infancy, and streaming services didn’t exist. If you didn’t own a copy of it, you had toContinue Reading
Move over, Jigsaw. Soul Mates is introducing a new diabolical, twisted villain: the Matchmaker. “Sign up for Soul Mates before the walls of loneliness close in on you,” he says in the movie’s trailer. And he’s not kidding. It’s not long before the walls literally start closing in on theContinue Reading
Technically, The Mortuary Haunted Mansion wants couples (plural) to enter their Blood Wedding Ceremony contest. As they put it, the popular New Orleans haunted attraction is “a haunted house…in a real haunted house.” This year, their theme is “Blood Wedding,” but they’re also hosting an actual wedding—or not (we’ll getContinue Reading
“What you’re seeing is a re-imaging of those events,” the narrator in The Enfield Poltergeist trailer tells us. “But what you’re about to hear is real.” The trailer for the four-part docuseries premiering on Apple TV+ on October 27 is brilliant.
