Resident Evil may have popularized Survival Horror as a genre, but Silent Hill really cemented these games as vehicles for legitimately chilling narratives. Over the years, the franchise has churned out some of the most recognizable imagery in gaming despite being unfairly neglected by Konami and not seeing a mainline entry for over a decade. […]

Years before feral swine were making the news or going viral on social media, South Korea’s war with boars was foretold in Shin Jung-won’s Chaw (Chawz in the U.S.). This 2009 film, which is as relevant today as it was back then, demonstrates the consequences of man tampering with nature and how nature decidedly bites […]

The horror genre may be associated with gruesome kills and threats from beyond the grave, but I’d argue that some of the most effective scary movies deal with realistic fates worse than death. From maniacal super-fans to methodical serial killers, being kidnapped and then kept alive at the mercy of a ruthless antagonist is one […]

Psycho is given a great deal of credit for redefining the direction American horror would take in the 1960s, and rightly so, but another film also deserves recognition for its innovations and influence. Like Psycho, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? signaled a shift from aliens, giant bugs, and atomic monsters to the more subtle […]

In theory, you shouldn’t feel under any pressure to make wise decisions during an interactive movie like The Quarry or Until Dawn. There’s not really meant to be an optimal ending that you’re aiming for, nor should there be any “right” or “wrong” paths that you can tread down. Instead, the idea is that — […]

Before Jennifer Love Hewitt and her castmates ever felt the sharp end of an ice hook, I Know What You Did Last Summer was a novel by Lois Duncan. The famed young-adult author proposed a dilemma like few others when she pursued an idea of dual identities and a curiosity about hit-and-runs. This seminal 1973 […]

Erich Von Däniken first popularized the Ancient Astronaut theory way back in 1968 with the release of his controversial Chariots of the Gods?, which suggested that human civilization was influenced by extraterrestrials that inspired primitive religions. Though the book has been heavily criticized by academics due to its misleading presentation of legitimate historical findings, its […]

For gore hounds and connoisseurs of shlock alike, 2015’s Until Dawn was an unexpected treat. The appeal was quite ingenious yet simple. Supermassive Games thrusted you into an achingly familiar horror scenario, in which a bunch of hormonal teenagers (each snuggly fitting into the most stereotypical of stereotypes) were left stranded in a remote location […]

Tom Holland‘s Fright Night has cemented itself as a crucial pillar in ’80s vampire canon. There’s an embrace of bloodsucker mythologies in addition to cheeky commentaries about how vamps are perceived in the media (using the character of Peter Vincent). It’s a tale as old as Dracula between eternal lust and pointed fangs that sometimes […]

The wrath of rats on film essentially began with 1959’s The Killer Shrews, but more unambiguous depictions first cropped up in the ‘70s. This included Bert I. Gordon’s 1976 adaptation of H. G. Wells’ 1904 book, The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth. Food of the Gods was financially successful by […]

It’s that time again; we’re halfway through another year. Already. The first half of 2022 was much lighter on theatrical releases than the heavily stacked back half. Even still, it held no shortage of fantastic horror releases. The genre has proven time and time again that it thrives in every format, and offerings have become […]

Joe Hill’s darkest short story comes to the big screen in Scott Derrickson’s latest film, The Black Phone. Derrickson reunites with Sinister co-writer C. Robert Cargill and star Ethan Hawke to expand and adapt the 7th story in Hill’s award winning collection “20th Century Ghosts.” Finney (Mason Thames) is a 13-year old boy struggling to […]

About a year after The Blair Witch Project took the box office by storm in 1999, Random House started publishing a series of tie-in novels in conjunction with Artisan Entertainment.
