After coming up against Mothra, Ghidorah and King Kong, Godzilla was primed and ready to take on the most challenging enemy in his career so far — pollution. The last stretch of Godzilla’s Shōwa period kicked off with an environmentally conscious entry in the spirit of the 1954 film. And, as to be expected from […]

Paul Lê Books, Buried In A Book, Editorials, Goosebumps, R.L. Stine, The Haunted School

Casual fans of Goosebumps can usually expect to find some kind of supernatural creature or other bizarre baddie in these books, but R. L. Stine briefly changed gears toward the end of the classic series. The previous 58 entries covered a wide span of far-out villains and unique scenarios, with each one being weirder than […]

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be discussing Paul W.S. Anderson’s ambitious crossover, Alien vs Predator. At first glance, Alien vs Predator sounds like an incredibly obvious idea. After all, both intellectual properties are conveniently owned by the same parent company and occupy equally iconic spaces in popular culture (they’re also simultaneously aliens […]

Jordan Peele’s latest, NOPE, is out in theaters this Friday, meaning we have only days to ponder extraterrestrial theories and the title’s meaning.

Luiz H. C. Editorials, Lickers, Netflix, Resident Evil, survival horror, Video Games, Zombies

Resident Evil may be best known for re-popularizing zombies in media, but hardcore fans know that the franchise is chock-full of other monsters that have been terrifying gamers and moviegoers alike during the franchise’s quarter-century existence.

Despite its reputation for deadly animals, Australia has few films about fatal fauna. The most obviously dangerous creatures in the Land Down Under — salties, razorbacks, great whites — have all been villainized on screen; some of them multiple times. However, Everett De Roche looked at Australia’s more unsuspecting creatures as he wrote an “environmental […]

Paul Farrell Editorials, Hammer Factory, Hammer Horror, Movies, Night Creatures, Peter Cushing

Welcome to the Hammer Factory. This month we dissect Night Creatures (1962). While Hammer Studios has been in business since 1934, it was between 1955 and 1979 that it towered as one of the premier sources of edgy, gothic horror. On top of ushering the famous monsters of Universal’s horror heyday back into the public eye, […]

It doesn’t need to be said that George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is one of THE most influential independent films of all time. The various strands of its web reach far and wide in the world of film – not just horror. What might not be as well-known however, is that Romero […]

Paul Lê Books, Buried In A Book, Editorials, Nightmare Inn, T.S. Rue

With so many people passing through them over the years, it would only make sense for hotels to be haunted. T.S. Rue is one of many storytellers who agrees with the possibility, and starting in 1993, the young-adult author explored the goings-on at a ghostly getaway called Arcadia. Rue, who also goes by Morton Rhue […]

Halloween: Resurrection opened to bad reviews upon its unseasonable release in July of 2002. The critics who bothered to assess the sequel, despite there being no advance screenings, made sure to flay the film. “Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning,” said The New York Times, and Entertainment Weekly called […]

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Johannes Roberts’ videogame adaptation, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City! The Resident Evil franchise is the undisputed king of the survival horror genre.

Alex DiVincenzo Editorials, Joe Bob Briggs, Movies

When the pandemic hit, I wasn’t sure if I could keep watching horror movies. The genre has been my passion, my safe space, my religion for many years — but the early days of lockdown were too much like living through an actual horror film to find comfort, or even distraction, in them. Like the […]
