Axe-wielding murderous Santas aren’t anything new, but they’re still one of my all-time favorite horror tropes. From Santa’s Slay to Silent Night, we’ve seen all sorts of wacky yuletide carnage taking place on a traditionally cheerful occasion. Norwegian filmmaker Reinert Kiil is the latest to try his luck at a serial-killing Saint Nick with Christmas Blood, […]
David Gordon Green’s Halloween provided us with much to be excited about, and perhaps nothing more exciting than the fact that John Carpenter (along with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies) scored the film. Carpenter hadn’t actually scored a film since his own Ghosts of Mars back in 2001, so that was needless to say […]
With the release of Orion’s Anna and the Apocalypse in limited theaters this weekend, allow me two proclamations. First, SEE ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. Not only does John McPhail’s showstopper fulfill Christmas Horror promises, but it does so as a dynamite Scottish zombie musical. Second, y’all don’t watch enough horror musicals. Maybe you – specifically […]
Herschell Gordon Lewis earned the moniker “godfather of gore” in the early ‘60s when he created the splatter subgenre in horror with Blood Feast. But it didn’t take long before another director would earn and share the title; Italian maestro Lucio Fulci. Fulci began his film career as a documentary director before switching gears and […]
A hell of cast that includes Katherine Waterston, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans and “The Haunting of Hill House” star Michiel Huisman has been assembled for next year’s State Like Sleep, written and directed by Meredith Danluck and being released in early 2019.

The extra features have been officially revealed for Sony Home Pictures Entertainment’s release of Venom and includes one interesting deleted scene: an extension of the San Quentin post-credits sequence in which we’re introduced to Woody Harrelson‘s Cletus Kasady (and his awful wig). The button at the end of the film brings newly revitalized reporter Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) to the […]
Based on the horror short by Jacob Chase, Amblin’s monster movie Larry recently landed Gillian Jacobs (“Love”) as its star, and Deadline reports tonight that John Gallagher Jr. (Hush, 10 Cloverfield Lane) will co-star alongside Jacobs and Azhy Robertson. In the film, from writer-director Jacob Chase… “A troubled young boy and his family become the target of a […]
Say what you will about Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil film universe, but at least the guy gave us entertaining films (even if they progressively drifted from the game’s canon). But now with Anderson off doing Monster Hunter (with his wife Milla Jovovich in the lead role), the Resident Evil film franchise is in reboot […]
Horror has always had a way of turning the most innocuous into the most terrifying, and the innocence of children is no exception. Creepy kids in horror has been a long-running archetype, turning out iconic characters like Antichrist Damien Thorn in The Omen, the Grady twins in The Shining, and possessed Regan MacNeil in The […]
