WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. We’re all familiar with Frankenstein. Or at least we think we are.

Most of us can recite the […]

The choices are endless for anyone who enjoys different approaches to Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. After all, it’s just about impossible to keep up with every single adaptation, on account of there being so many of them. That doesn’t even include those that are simply Frankensteinian in concept rather than direct […]

For Halloween this year, we wanted to come up with the ultimate and definitive ranking of the entire Halloween franchise, but we quickly realized that it simply wouldn’t be possible by just polling members of the Bloody Disgusting team.

October 27, 2025 Paul Lê Books, Christopher Pike, Editorials, J.B. Stamper, Philip Pullman, R.L. Stine

Growing up, my Halloween experience wasn’t complete without ghost stories. Long before I could get my hands on horror movies, my Halloween thrills were largely found in books. Little did the parentals know, these books of mine were just as, if not more, scary than the movies I watched, at least to a little kid […]

How New Game Plus in ‘Silent Hill f’ Adds So Much to the Entire Experience

October 27, 2025 Harrison Abbott Editorials, Konami, Neobards Entertainment, PC, PlayStation 5, silent hill f, steam, Video Games, Xbox Series

As a franchise, Silent Hill has been starved of fresh ideas for the better part of two decades. Sure, the most surface-level elements might have changed between entries. Shattered Memories, for instance, made the radical decision to substitute the town’s perpetual fog bank for a snowy blizzard, while Downpour took an even bolder leap and […]

With Shelby Oaks, writer/director Chris Stuckmann made the leap from YouTube to theatrical film. But his feature directorial debut, which is now playing in theaters, doesn’t look the same as it did when it played the festival circuit in 2024.

October 24, 2025 Brian Keiper Burn Witch Burn, Editorials, Movies, Night of the Eagle, Richard Matheson, Sidney Hayers

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 […]

October 24, 2025 Meagan Navarro Editorials, Lucie Boujenah, Marianne, Mireille Herbstmeyer, Samuel Bodin, TV, Victoire Du Bois

One of the scariest titles haunting Netflix’s streaming library isn’t a movie, but a French TV series that was canceled after one season. Before Cobweb, director Samuel Bodin delivered pure nightmare fuel with the ultra-creepy French series Marianne. Marianne followed successful author Emma Larsimon (Victoire Du Bois) as she’s forced to return home to confront […]

October 24, 2025 Luiz H. C. Animation, Editorials, Stainboy, The World of Stainboy, Tim Burton, TV

Though he’s best known for introducing goth aesthetics to suburbia (as well as making mainstream audiences take Batman seriously again), Tim Burton got his start in the industry as an apprentice animator recruited by Disney right out of CalArts. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Burton’s peculiar style and penchant for […]

October 24, 2025 Paul Lê Alexz Johnson, Cara DeLizia, Disney Channel, Editorials, Henry Winkler, Mackenzie Phillips, So Weird, Tom J Astle, TV

The Disney Channel series So Weird (1999–2001) was “gateway horror“ for its many young viewers—a diluted taste of the horror genre before moving on to the full-strength stuff. Yet, looking back, bizarre phenomena and things that go bump in the night weren’t what set So Weird apart from its contemporaries and successors. The difference-maker was […]

Black Phone 2 is a scarier and more successful sequel, but its reinvention of the Grabber into a supernatural entity helps him become a modern Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Blumhouse has made not just waves, but full-on tsunamis, when it comes to their impact on the horror genre. Over the past 15 years, Blumhouse […]
