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.

The normalization of hate-watching and the ironic consumption of media has done untold damage to my generation’s relationship with film. While getting a few friends together and riffing on old Gamera movies isn’t inherently bad, terms like “guilty pleasure” and “so bad it’s good” have made some folks forget that movies don’t have to […]

Horror movie trailers can become creatively hollow endeavors, but some movies feature teasers that are made up of entirely original footage that does something different!

Netflix, like many streaming platforms this month, are rolling out the red carpet for horror with curated “Netflix & Chills” programming.

Graciously, Bloody Disgusting has allowed me to write over 40 entries for my “Revenge of the Remakes” column. I’ve hit plenty of popular franchises and mainstream renovations, but as of late, I’ve veered into more obscure territories. That’s where the fun begins, frankly.

Horror movies like Mercedes Bryce Morgan’s Bone Lake serve as good reminders that the genre has always and will forever be erotic. In the right hands, sex and seduction become intertwined with horror, often a metaphor or a driving narrative device. Most erotic horror movies pull you in with the promise of the dangerous, the […]
