The latest warped adventure from Michael Cosio – the mastermind behind indie horror gems such

Expansion goes awry in prequel series It: Welcome to Derry. Set 27 years before the Losers Club first confronted the child-eating trans-dimensional entity, and 54 years before they’d return as adults to destroy it for good, not much has changed in Stephen King‘s fictional Maine town. To bypass the prequel’s narrative constraints, developed by Andy Muschietti

Nothing says fall, especially the Halloween season, quite like a great witch movie. One of the best is the cult film Night of the Eagle (1962), perhaps better known under its American release title, Burn Witch, Burn. Based on one of the seminal horror novels of the twentieth century, the film explores the nature of

Blumhouse has announced this afternoon plans to adapt James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s horror comic book phenomenon Something is Killing the Children into both a feature film and an adult animated series.

You better have a safe word, because Bone Lake is now available on Digital for rent ($14.99) or purchase ($19.99) via Bleecker Street.

The classic Gaston Leroux novel The Phantom of the Opera has been adapted countless times over the years – even Robert Englund played the Phantom back in the 1980s! – and we may someday see Guillermo del Toro put his own spin on the tale. Not anytime soon, he makes clear in a new conversation with Inverse, but

The next movie from director Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is 13th century werewolf movie Werwulf for Focus Features, and ScreenDaily reports that filming has begun.

The SAW franchise is now in the hands of Blumhouse in the wake of Saw X, but the franchise’s birthplace can be traced back to the raucous midnight screening at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. That small but significant piece of horror history is just a sliver of the annals of Sundance being honored at the upcoming 2026 edition

Fresh off last week’s U.S. trailer for the new Silent Night, Deadly Night movie from Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, Sweet Revenge), a bloody new international Red Band trailer for the film has slashed its way online this morning. Watch the Red Band trailer below and find the U.S. trailer underneath!

WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for The Black Phone and Black Phone 2. If Gen X has a boogeyman, it’s arguably the Man in the Windowless Van.

This year’s bloody public domain slasher Screamboat is getting a sequel, with director Steven LaMorte telling Variety this morning that Screamboat 2: Nothing Stays Dead is on the way.

Jaws, Late Night with the Devil, and somehow Waterworld receive the “Treehouse of Horror” treatment in a fun, mostly funny Halloween installment  One of the more compelling novelties of The Simpsons, a series that is now in its 37th season and rounding the corner on its 800th episode, is how certain elements have inherently changed

Thanks to the endearing appeal of retro gaming, and the fact that Nintendo is still very much around, it’s hard to believe in some ways that the Nintendo Entertainment System is now 40 years old. It’s even harder to believe that the video games industry in North America was on the brink when Nintendo decided

For a symbol that’s often regarded as the true mascot of the Halloween season, it’s strange that pumpkins aren’t the focus of more horror movies – especially when you consider the spooky folklore surrounding jack ‘o lanterns. Sure, pumpkins are featured in several popular franchises, but they’re usually relegated to atmospheric set dressing meant to

With Black Phone 2 in theaters now, its soundtrack is available on vinyl for $35 from Waxwork Records. Expected to ship in January 2026, the score is composed by Atticus Derrickson (V/H/S/85).

They’ve now gone back and added a “colossal update” to the game that doubles the existing in-game content. This new update brings with it three new levels, over

It’s hard to come up with a new take on the vampire film. So much of the lore has been established, it’s easy to fall back on the common conventions of the subgenre. Writer/director Edward Shimborske doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but he does have enough tweaks to make On Gallows Hill (2025) feel fresh.

Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse in the trailer for “The Beast in Me.” The eight-episode mystery thriller series streams November 13 on Netflix.

Returning director Scott Derrickson (Sinister, V/H/S/85) and co-writer C. Robert Cargill didn’t plan to make sequel Black Phone 2 unless a great idea came along that excited them. That’s when author Joe Hill called. “He just said, ‘A phone rings, Finney answers, and it’s The Grabber calling from hell,’” Cargill tells Bloody Disgusting. That was the spark that

Earlier this summer, the rumor mill went into overdrive regarding the episode length of “Stranger Things 5,” which was immediately debunked by series co-creator and showrunner Ross Duffer.
