The last Saturday in October is here, and so too is the last Family Fun day in our 31 Days of Halloween lineup. Since the 31st is rapidly approaching, today’s entry is dedicated to a family-friendly horror movie that goes big in terms of serious monster content. I mean BIG. Every possible monster from R.L. […]
This is it; the final Franchise Friday in our 31 Days of Halloween. That final spot goes to Paranormal Activity 3, one of the best entries in the popular found-footage series. Like the Saw franchise, you could count on a new entry to release in October, perfect for the Halloween season. All, except spinoff The […]
It’s usually a compliment to say that a sequel is better than the original, but when the original is the 2015 film The Gallows, it sounds like damning with faint praise. But hear me out: the original found footage film, about a haunted high school play that traps a bunch of teens in their school […]
Fangoria and director Chelsea Stardust‘s Satanic Panic arrived on DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of RLJE Films this week, but several horror fans have pointed out an interesting title change that’s taken place for the release in Walmart stores. Remember when Walmart turned Deathgasm into Heavy Metal Apocalypse? Well they’ve now turned Satanic Panic into…Panic. Yes, […]
Zoe Lister-Jones is writing and directing a new take on 1996’s The Craft for Blumhouse, Red Wagon and Sony, with Cailee Spaeny (Pacific Rim: Uprising), Gideon Adlon (“The Society”), Lovie Simone (Selah & the Spades) and Zoey Luna (15: A Quinceañera Story) set to star as the main characters.

Twenty years ago, on October 9, 1999, a Disney Channel Original Movie premiered on television that instilled nightmares for a generation. If you were a kid growing up in the ‘90s, then there’s a high probability this movie and its nightmarish imagery embedded itself into your skull and never left. For many, Don’t Look Under […]
Writer/Director Mike Flanagan has a pretty healthy relationship with Netflix, at least in terms of delivering quality horror. Last October’s The Haunting of Hill House series chilled viewers to their core. The year before that Flanagan adapted what was previously considered unadaptable; Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game. This Wild Card Sunday we’re going back to his […]
Saturday is Family Fun day during our 31 Days of Halloween celebration, and this entry is an absolute delight. A PG-13 horror comedy that serves as a perfect introductory course to the slasher, deconstructed tropes and all, The Final Girls also offers up a slew of endlessly likable characters. Characters that bring the emotion as […]
This decade has brought not one, but three entries in Adam Green’s ultra-gory slasher series. Starting with Hatchet II, which kicked off the decade with its October 1, 2010 release. That alone would give merit to Hatchet II’s selection as our Franchise Friday pick of the week. But really, it’s because this sequel is so […]
This year has been surprisingly Critters-heavy, kicking off with Shudder’s series “Critters: A New Binge” back in March. That 8-episode return of the franchise, if you’re asking me, was quite awful, but I actually had a lot of fun with the brand new movie that came along shortly thereafter: Critters Attack!, which went straight to […]
