It’s been 40 years since the release of Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and to say fan feelings have done a complete 180 over the years would be a massive understatement. Initially hated by Halloween fans, so much so that Michael Myers was brought back for the following installment, Halloween III is now beloved […]

Queer Visual Artist David Ayllon Creates ‘Scream’ Tribute Photo Series! [Images]
If you’ve seen the new Scream film (review), then you’ll know that fandom is a major focus of the film’s social commentary. While certain segments of fandom can undoubtedly be a little toxic, sometimes that extreme passion for a particular IP can birth (pun intended) a wonderfully creative endeavor. That’s exactly what happened when photographer David Ayllon […]
Move Over ‘Scream’, ‘SCREAM: The Musical’ Stage Production and Documentary is Coming to Steal Your Heart
Scream fans have a lot to celebrate these days with a new installment now available in theaters, but here’s one more: SCREAM: The Musical. In true Scream meta fashion, SCREAM: The Musical is an upcoming documentary about putting on a stage production of a fan made Scream musical. Seeing Scream at a young age didn’t […]
UK Company Cereal Killer Just Launched the World’s First Official ‘Scream’ Cereal for Pre-Order!
While we wait for THIS YEAR’s Scream relaunch (it feels great to finally be able to say that), coming to theaters on January 14, 2022, a company over in the UK has just unleashed a special Scream-themed cereal. We told you about it back in November, you may recall, and Cereal Killer has now put […]
AMC Theatres. We Make HORROR Movies Better. [Video]
AMC Theatres recently launched a hilarious $25M campaign in an attempt to coerce film fans back to theaters. Not only was it overly long and insanely pretentious, but it comically took shared credit for being part of the movie-making process. They’ve since shortened the spot, which follows Nicole Kidman – you know, every teenager’s favorite […]
The “Home Video Horrors” 2022 Calendar Celebrates Vintage Horror VHS Box Art All Year Long!
One fan who continues doing a kickass job keeping the spirit of VHS alive is Josh Schafer, the man behind Lunchmeat Magazine. In his never-ending quest to make sure those video shops of our youth never truly go away, Schafer created the first “Home Video Horrors” calendar a few years back, a year-long tribute to the VHS […]
‘Roast Beast’ – A Twisted “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” Horror Story by John Squires & Kim Faul
“Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot. But the Grinch… he did not.” As stories are passed down from generation to generation, and even year to year, it becomes a bit like a game of telephone, the original tale diluted and transformed to the point of becoming a whole different beast entirely. You’ve […]
Netflix and Old Spice Team Up for Hilariously Perfect “Witcher” Deodorant Scents! [Video]
I find the majority of marketing irritating as it’s hard to find relevancy between an ad and the actual product, especially when most of these companies are just trying to be weird (I’m still perplexed by the UFO Oreo). When it comes to “The Witcher”, Netflix has cooked up one of the most genuine promotions […]
The Scientist Who Taught Rats to Play ‘Doom II’ Wants to Start Streaming it on Twitch
We live in a world where all sorts of things can play some form of the eternally badass FPS grandaddy known as Doom. Photocopiers, pregnancy tests, fridges, and balls of yarn have managed to run id Software’s classic shooter over the years (though I may have made one of those up), but what the one […]
R-Rated ‘Spider-Man’ Rips the Web-Slinger to Shreds! [Video]
While Peter Parker has the power of a spider, he’s still human and so is his alter ego, Spider-Man. YouTubers Corridor Crew imagines a Spider-Verse in which Spider-Man’s near-death encounters actually take the life of puny Parker. In this video, Owen Wilson’s Mobius travels the multiverse for “the worst Peter Parkers” and helps prune them […]
The ‘Alien’ Xenomorph Appeared in Polaroid’s 1989 Holiday Commercial! [Video]
Our friend @HorrorMovieBBQ pointed us to a rarely seen commercial package from the holiday season back in the late 1980s that carries a nice little surprise. Included within this assembly of commercial breaks taken from the Prime Movie presentation of A Christmas Story (Fox O&O WTTG in Washington, D.C.; December 12, 1989) is a spot […]
Artist Turns Horror Icons into Lucky Cats for Adorable Pin Collection [Gift Guide]
Tattooist, illustrator and sculptor Andrew Hunter (Twitter: @andrewyayzushunter, IG: yayzus_tattoo) has combined two of my favorite things: cats and horror. Owner of the Rebel Base Tattoo Studio in Tuxford, United Kingdom since 2016, Andrew has been busy not only crafting some of the coolest tattoos, he also creates killer mashups of horror icons as the […]
[Interview] Gaming In The Deep: An Interview With FLOAT Designer And Creator Freddie Carlini
For as much as I love playing with friends online via trading card game simulators or other video games, there’s nothing like the in-person tabletop experience. Whether it be something like Dungeons & Dragons or Arkham Horror, sitting around a table with a group of friends, playing through a story, maybe even taking on some […]
PETA Channels Leatherface With Faux “Urban Outraged” Clothing Line Made from “Genuine Human Leather”
Animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is taking a shot at clothing companies that use animals for their products, launching the faux online shop “Urban Outraged” and packing it with clothing made from “genuine human leather.” It’s a fake online storefront, to be clear, so none of the gruesome clothing […]
Akedo Footwear and Warner Bros. Join Forces for Limited Edition ‘Gremlins’ Sneakers!
Several companies have been releasing awesome horror-themed sneakers in recent years, and up next is a pair of Gremlins kicks from Akedo Footwear and Warner Bros.!
