‘Citizen X’: A Serial Killer Story Too Dark for the Big Screen

For years, all I could remember was a figure in the woods stabbing someone. It was so simple, and so cold. No fancy camera work. No overdramatic score.

Don’t ever assault a possible witch, light her house on fire, dig up her Pet Semetary backyard and use the vial of blood you found next to her book of the dead to resurrect the town monster, K? Equally, don’t ever watch Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings right after watching the original Pumpkinhead. It’s not meant to happen that way. Pumpkinhead […]

Brainscan is one of those movies you would stumble on as a ’90s kid watching HBO, Cinemax or whatever other programming you weren’t supposed to be watching after your parents went to bed.

‘Strangeland’ at 25: How Dee Snider Wasted No Time Making Us Terrified of the Internet in 1998

Strangeland was one of those random bubblecase VHS horror rentals from the local video store that made you feel like you’d won the lottery.

From Calm to Carnal: Looking at Cillian Murphy in the Horror Genre

This weekend, Rob Savage (Host) brings his adaptation of Stephen King’s The Boogeyman to theaters. But for those of us who were of horror-watching age eighteen years ago (that hurts to say out loud), there was 2005’s Boogeyman… a horror film that launched an entire trilogy.
