Due to unforeseen circumstances in March, I’ve been spending more time with the family, which means my two younger nieces have had more time with their uncle Mark. Out of my four nieces, Star (who is fifteen and my third-born niece) has had a taste for horror since she was five. Her mom caught her […]

Summer Game Fest and PlayStation’s State of Play happened this month, and we got a peek (and sometimes even more) of all the cool games in the making and soon to be released. Horror and genre fans were not left hungry, as so many major and indie titles were announced for their enjoyment, too. Returns

A good horror movie has a few universally known elements: a creeping sense of dread, constant anxiety, a sense that things aren’t quite right. The tactics of foreshadowing and monster delay make things appear more terrifying than they are. And of course, the presence of deep human themes around emotion, identity, community, and oppression.

The Wayans and Company have returned to their franchise with Scary Movie (2026). As someone who is anti-Columbusing the work of Black creatives, and someone who suffered through the entire franchise recently, I was rooting for them. As a 90s kid who grew up watching the Wayans family build a comedic empire, it’s hard not

Scary Movie 5 has the honor of being the worst entry in the franchise. So, looking at the glass as half full, things can only go up from here. This mess was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Undercover Brother) and written by Pat Proft and David Zucker. A new director couldn’t save it, and moving

This Scary Movie train has pulled into the station for the fourth installment. This one sees David Zucker’s return as director. However, Craig Mazin and Pat Proft are joined by the late Jim Abrahams on the screenplay this time out. While they are all probably lovely individuals, Scary Movie 4 seems even more removed from

I recently discovered that Scary Movie 3 is when the Wayans Dynasty exited the franchise. This felt like the Pepsi challenge in that I’m not a fan of either project, but I had braced myself for one brand and got something different. This installment is directed by David Zucker. Zucker was responsible for 1980s comedies

Scary Movie 2 is less focused, sharp, and interesting than its predecessor. The Wayans and company revive all of their lead characters and send them to college. Instead of staying in Scream’s light this one feels more scattershot. To be fair, they lampooned the first two films already. Anyways, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her

I skipped Scary Movie when it hit theaters and video rental stores. By 2000, I realized most horror comedies were geared toward frat boys. Meaning there would be a bunch of dick jokes and stereotypes that I wouldn’t have a good time with. Luckily, things have shifted, and more filmmakers who understand what that subgenre

Motherhood is a beautiful thing. Which is why Mother’s Day is usually framed around a comforting idea that motherhood is one of life’s safest emotional anchors. Horror, fortunately for us horror-lovers, knows better. So, what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by examining some of horror’s most terrifying mothers? Murderous Mommies The first that
