There’s No Need to Wait for October: Summerween Is Here

It seems that the holidays keep arriving earlier and earlier; like an undead monster, some of us know they never really die. Not even Christmas—if the jolly-in-July folks have anything to say about it. However, Summerween has been kicking around since early June and will fully absorb the dead of summer with attractions like Midsummer Scream and Universal Horror Unleashed. Already, retailers like Michaels have unleashed their Halloween collections so you can get interior decorating done before l

Why Does the Return of ‘Friday the 13th’ Have to Be… Like This?

Though previously troubled, the Peacock and A24 series Crystal Lake is now moving full speed ahead—Linda Cardellini will star as Jason Voorhees’ equally murderous mom, Pamela Voorhees—Friday the 13th fans are still longing to see Jason return to the big screen. The rights to the franchise have been in a legal tangle for years, with Sean S. Cunningham, who directed and produced the 1980 original, recently speculating that a new Friday the 13th movie is still a far-off notion. That’s still seemin

Honestly, I Don't Think You're Ready for This Old West Horror Flick on Netflix

If you were to ask my wife what type of movies I like, she'd tell you I'm a fanatic for horror flicks and Westerns. As is the case with being a busy dad, though, I never seem to find enough time in my schedule to kick back on the couch and enjoy either. How amazing would it be to queue up a double feature at home to feed my need for scares and outlaw justice? Very, is the answer. The reality of the situation, though, finds me sharing a house with a spouse who despises scary movies and a six-yea

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon

Crisol is a BioShock-Like Cult Horror Shooter Using Your Blood For Bullets

One of the best things about Summer Game Fest is discovering games that blend some of your favorite classics into something wholly new. Crisol: Theater of Idols is a game with clear BioShock influence in its first-person shooter exploration, but melds some cult horror from games like Resident Evil 4 into the mix. On top of it all, to reload your gun, you've gotta sacrifice your own blood -- and take a chunk from your own health bar. It's a novel mechanic that combines with the gothic, nautical

‘Best Wishes to All’ Proves J-Horror Can Still Find New Ways to Freak You Out

New Shudder release Best Wishes to All begins with a nightmare, and that sets the tone for everything that follows. A nursing student, never given a name and played by the instantly sympathetic Kotone Furukawa, dreams she’s a child again visiting her grandparents—and wakes up screaming after spotting something deeply alarming beyond a cracked-open door. We soon realize this was really more of a flashback, in anticipation of what seems to be her first trip to their rural home since that happened

I Wanted to Stream a Horror-Western, and Netflix Has the Best Movie That Does Both

When it comes to movies, my favorite genres are horror and Westerns. Yet, as a busy dad, there's never enough time in the day to sit and enjoy a film I want to watch. If I had it my way, I'd regularly plan double feature nights at home to get my fix of scares and cowboys. However, there's a six-year-old girl who lives under my roof, and my wife's tastes vastly differ from mine, so we keep it family friendly -- most of the time, anyway. Lo and behold, my birthday is approaching, and I am getting

I'm a Fiend for Horror and Westerns. Netflix Has One of the Best Genre Mashups Ever Made

Father's Day is coming up and, if you're like me, you're searching for the perfect movie to watch on the big day. Well, as a dad myself, I can easily find comfort in the tried and true classics like National Lampoon's Vacation, Once Upon a Time in America or even The Shawshank Redemption. There's no arguing that those titles are stereotypical "dad" movies. But I'm not a stereotypical dad. My cinematic tastes usually lead me down an alternate path. Yes, I love me a good western but I'm also a d
