WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for the Alien franchise. Of all of horror’s many sagas, few have produced such complex and dynamic female characters as the Alien franchise. From space-trekking astronauts and idealistic scientists to outlaw clones and alien queens, this cinematic galaxy is bursting with inspirational – and sometimes despicable – women fighting […]

I’ve been obsessed with apocalyptic fiction since I was a small boy, but young Luiz was always frustrated with the disproportionate amount of media that takes place months or even years after the end of the world instead of showing us the apocalypse as it happens. It was only years later that I understood the […]

‘Alien: Romulus’ is right around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to check out ‘Lily C.A.T.,’ an anime body horror classic that’s a gory tribute to ‘Alien’ and ‘The Thing’. “Confine them? We’re on a ship. We’re practically confined ourselves.” Ridley Scott’s Alien is an iconic horror/science fiction hybrid that’s had its ups and […]

Fede Álvarez subverts expectations and form with his unnerving apocalyptic audio drama TV series that mixes psychedelia with the supernatural. “We’re getting a lot of strange calls. The kind that makes no sense.” Fede Álvarez has been a genre force to be reckoned with ever since his short film about a robot rampage in Montevideo, […]

Most horror movies don’t even receive one novelization, yet Friday the 13th Part III somehow ended up with two. In fact, the second sequel in this beloved franchise was the first to be novelized; the original 1980 movie and its immediate follow-up were not adapted until ‘87 and ‘88, respectively. Meanwhile, Michael Avallone’s divisive take […]

When Ridley Scott unleashed Alien onto unsuspecting film fans way back in 1979, no one probably thought that the film would spawn a franchise that would take over the media landscape. Today, the franchise is still going strong, having conquered the box office, comics, novels, board games, action figures, and of course, video games. With […]

If work can be hell, no genre illustrates this better than horror. From Ellen Ripley to Ashley J. Williams, there’s no shortage of working-class heroes populating scary movies. This makes a lot of sense, as the only thing scarier than having to deal with ghosts and bogeymen is realizing that you still have to get […]

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the small screen adaptation of 1980s movie “Weird Science,” which aired from 1994 – 1998 on the USA Network. I probably sound like an old fogy when I say this, but the USA Network of the cable television heyday was drastically different than the USA Network we […]

The time has come to acknowledge Dan Stevens for the scream king that he is. This year alone, his genre credits include Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Abigail, and director Tilman Singer’s new film Cuckoo, where he plays a mysterious and undeniably villainous resort owner named Herr König. In the same way that scream […]

“Cool” is one of those nebulous descriptors that defies classification. A cool girl could be anyone from an irreverent teen ditching class under the bleachers to a popular trend-setter rocking the latest style, a tik tok master with millions of followers or – like Gillian Flynn’s Amy Dunne – a woman consumed with attracting a […]

Spoilers are an odd beast for most Lifetime films. Few, if any, titles actually try to surprise audience with a killer reveal. More often than not there are twists, but the joy of watching these made-for-TV films is the journey to the big showdown. It’s frustrating then, that Stepmom from Hell fully spoils its own […]

There was a time when most genre fiction was lumped together as a single collection of unserious literature by both critics and magazines. This is why weird fiction often shared an audience with sword and sorcery (and why writers like Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft could connect over their stories), with both genres influencing […]

There’s some undeniable wisdom in that Mark Twain quote about writing what you know, and that’s likely the reason why some of the best films of all time are about filmmaking itself. This also applies to the horror genre, as we can see from beloved classics like Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and even The Blair […]
