I am rarely affected by celebrity deaths, but when it was revealed that Wes Craven had passed away on August 30, 2015, weeks after his 76th birthday, I was devastated. Never before had I been so moved by the loss of a person I’d never met. I’ve written several tributes to horror icons over the […]

Batman: Caped Crusader, the latest animated interpretation of DC’s Dark Knight, embraces the pulpy horror theatrics of EC Comics. “And you don’t know how to catch a ghost.” “Before today, I didn’t believe they existed.” One of superhero media’s greatest luxuries is that it’s an exaggerated genre that frequently toes the line with other styles […]

Almost any search of Josh Hartnett will return a bevy of articles with a headline that is some variation of “Why Josh Hartnett Left Hollywood,” which is fair. It’s a fascinating story about a guy who saw himself as an artist thrust into the spotlight of a teen heartthrob. It’s the rare story of a […]

Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1 launches a reboot trilogy based on the 2008 home invasion film, all three movies shot simultaneously under the direction of Renny Harlin.

There’s a lovely moment, towards the tail end of Michael Sarnoski’s A Quiet Place: Day One, in which British expat (and, with the best will in the world, complete dweeb) Eric tries to lift the spirits of his post-apocalyptic travel companion. To put it mildly, he and Sam have been through the wringer these past […]

Picture the mid-80s. The United States are halfway through the Reagan era and Sylvester Stallone has just set his sights on Paramount Pictures’ upcoming Beverly Hills Cop. Hellbent on starring in a crime thriller, the Rambo and Rocky veteran goes so far as to rewrite the script in order to replace most of the humor […]

As a veteran of what we now call the “old internet,” I remember a time when the scariest media you could find online consisted of seemingly innocent image macros containing sinister details lurking in the background.

While Scream set off a new slasher cycle in the late 1990s, MGM delivered something different with Disturbing Behavior. A fitting choice considering the film’s themes. Ultimately, though, this ‘98 teen chiller landed a bit more in the science-fiction bin than straight, undiluted horror; one by one, a town’s troubled youths endure sinister, personality-warping makeovers […]
