In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Universal’s underappreciated alien horror movie, The Fourth Kind. While I usually take eye-witness accounts with a sizable grain of salt, I’ve always been obsessed with ufology and extraterrestrial conspiracies. Not only are these tales of mysterious lights and unexplained disappearances entertaining on their own, but […]

Jenn Adams American Psycho, Christian Bale, Editorials, Fresh, Hulu, Mimi Cave, Movies

The year 2000 saw not only the dawn of a new millennium but the birth of a new American monster. Mary Harron’s adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’s novel American Psycho stars Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a psychopathic yuppie who terrorizes Wall Street while listening to cheesy pop music on his walkman. In one of […]

Brian Keiper Editorials, featured, Movies, roger corman...., topnews

Roger Corman has been called many things over the years—King of the B’s, The Pope of Pop Cinema, outlaw, renegade, mentor. Now, maybe all of it can be distilled into a single word: legend. In a career that has spanned seven decades, Corman has worn a number of hats: director, producer, writer, and actor are […]

Power of the Night: A ‘Critters’ Franchise Retrospective

The Critters franchise is very close to my heart. Like Gremlins, it is not only one of the first horror movies I remember seeing, but it’s one of the first films I remember seeing in general. During my adolescence I felt like the only person who had seen these films, and because of that they […]

‘Tales of the Unusual’: Charming Japanese Anthology Offers Multiple Genres [Horrors Elsewhere]

Paul Lê Editorials, Horrors Elsewhere, Movies, Tales of the Unusual

Japan’s love of telling stories can be traced back to a time when people genuinely believed in the supernatural. The Edo period gave rise to a parlor game called Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, or in English, The Gathering of 100 Supernatural Tales. Participants sat among one-hundred paper lanterns and swapped kaidan (classic ghost stories) until the last […]

Unearthing the Previous Attempts to Bring ‘Moon Knight’ to TV

Nat Brehmer Editorials, Marvel, Moon Knight

Moon Knight is one of the comic book characters I’ve spent years wanting to see on the screen without ever once thinking it would actually happen, if not the number one. Even after the Disney Plus series was officially announced, I had my doubts. Now that it’s here, the feeling is so surreal. This character […]

‘Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College’ is a Silly Creature Feature Delight [Hidden Gems]

Tyler Eschberger Editorials, Ghoulies, Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College, Hidden Gems, John Carl Buechler, Movies

Ah, Ghoulies – the other, other Gremlins knock-off. This label is something of unfair misnomer, as the first Ghoulies film was in production at the same time as Joe Dante’s classic film. This little franchise that could sit on a porcelain throne of cult appreciation alongside other Tiny Terror pictures like Critters and Troll. The […]

Six of the Best Opening Kill Scenes in Slasher Movies!

Luiz H. C. Editorials, Halloween, It Follows, Movies, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, The Collection, Wishmaster, Wrong Turn 2

First impressions can make or break a horror movie. Starting out with a strong scare or opening kill can get your audience in the mood for whatever comes next, but a weak opening will make it much harder to get invested in the story. While the rest of the film doesn’t always live up to […]

Looking Back on the Childhood Horrors of ‘The Binding of Isaac’ 10 Years Later

Luiz H. C. binding of isaac, Editorials, Longform, Religious Horror, Roguelike, super meat boy, Video Games

Growing up in an overly religious household can really mess you up. It’s the kind of living situation that creates specific anxieties that can still have consequences years down the line, especially when mental illness is involved. After all, a childhood ruled by fear of sin can make a lot of seemingly innocuous things appear […]

The greatest and most universal experience is death. And we’re all afraid to die, in our own way. Whether it’s full-blown thanatophobia or just a faint, dull throb, we all carry this weight of existential dread around with us in our everyday lives. In David Lowery’s A Ghost Story, this fear hangs around each frame, […]

As the adage goes, necessity is the mother of invention. When George Lucas couldn’t acquire the rights to Flash Gordon, he created Star Wars. When Sam Raimi couldn’t acquire the rights to The Shadow, he created Darkman. And when Charles Band couldn’t acquire the rights to Doctor Strange, he created Doctor Mordrid. The story goes […]

Falling for the trickery of April Fools’ Day often leads to hurt feelings or anger at being duped. In horror, though, it can be downright deadly. Unless, perhaps, it’s a rare exception like the 1986 slasher April Fool’s Day, where the audience is the intended prank target. With April Fools’ Day commencing this Friday, this week’s […]
