Where ‘Weapons’ Hits the Mark and Where It Misses

2025-09-16
By: Courtney Mroch
On: September 16, 2025
In: Horror, Movies

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

How to Spend a Night (or Two) at the ‘Poltergeist’ House

2025-08-13

In: Horror, Movies, Pop Culture, Travel

Have you ever wanted to spend the night in the house where the original Poltergeist (1982) movie was filmed? There are now a couple of ways to book your stay, including through Airbnb. We’ll detail the other way below, but first, let’s explore what led to this moment. The PoltergeistContinue Reading

Monster Island: Same species as Creature from the Black Lagoon?

2025-06-27

On: June 27, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

Are you a sucker for creature features too? If you are, and especially if you’re a Creature from the Black Lagoon fan, mark July 25 on your calendar. That’s the day Monster Island drops on Shudder. (Included with an AMC+ subscription, which I get via my Amazon Prime membership.) TheContinue Reading

It’s Official: ‘Sinners’ Fans Want More Choctaw Vampire Hunters

2025-06-09
By: Courtney Mroch
On: June 9, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

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

Presence: A ghost story that needed a trigger warning?

2025-06-06
By: Courtney Mroch
On: June 6, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

When the teaser trailer for Presence was released, I wondered what kind of horror movie it would be. The brief synopsis brought to mind Poltergeist: “A family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they’re not alone.” I’d forgotten about wanting to see it until I spotted it in aContinue Reading

What’s up with all the cannibal horror movies anymore?

2025-05-21
By: Courtney Mroch
On: May 21, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

One of the most disturbing movies that I have ever watched was The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. It wasn’t a horror movie, though. It’s classified as a “crime drama art film.” But it involved cooking and eating people, and that horrified me. I almost barfed duringContinue Reading

Is the Monkey part of Conjuring Universe

Why do people think The Monkey is part of the Conjuring universe?

2025-03-16

You know the “People also ask” section that comes up when you Google something? Recently, a confusing result caught my attention: “Is The Monkey part of the Conjuring Universe?” I noticed it when I was researching info for a post about why it wasn’t surprising that The Monkey was Fandango’sContinue Reading

Do you have what it takes to complete a mission in the captivating world of John Wick? If you’ve ever watched any of the movies and wished you could step into that universe, the John Wick Experience now allows you the chance to do that. “The John Wick Experience dropsContinue Reading

Bring Her Back: The Talk To Me Team’s Latest Offering

2025-03-03
By: Courtney Mroch
On: March 3, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

When I heard about Danny and Michael Philippou’s forthcoming A24 movie, Bring Her Back, I dropped everything to watch the teaser. What fresh horror had the Talk To Me directors concocted for us now? Mostly, I wanted to get ahead of the curve this time and not make the sameContinue Reading

Holland, Death of a Unicorn, Drop: What connects these movies?

When it comes to horror movie ticket sales, The Monkey has dominated Fandango’s best pre-seller list. So far. For good reason. If you look up “most anticipated horror movies of 2025,” you’ll find lists that name a variety of titles. In addition to The Monkey, a couple of movies makeContinue Reading

Why It’s Not Surprising The Monkey Is Fandango’s Best Pre-Seller

2025-02-19
By: Courtney Mroch
On: February 19, 2025
In: Entertainment, Horror, Movies

It’s really not all that surprising that Neon’s upcoming horror film, The Monkey, is Fandango’s best horror ticket pre-seller of 2025. So far. Will it hold the title for the whole year, though? Possibly. It’s among the most highly anticipated horror movies coming out this year for good reason. Namely, theContinue Reading

Jurassic World Rebirth: The Trilogy Was Not the End

2025-02-05
By: Courtney Mroch
On: February 5, 2025
In: Entertainment, Movies

“…the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.” How does that statement make you feel? “Seriously?” is a legit reaction. Either as in excited (“Yay! Good news!”) or exasperated (“Really? Why?!”). I was a mix of both. My very first reaction was to groanContinue Reading
