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

The kids have been clamoring for more limited space horror movies in the wake of Skinamarink. Which is why all eyes have been on Kane Parsons Backrooms. Based on his wildly popular and creepy short The Backrooms, the film quickly became one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Even cinephiles who don’t typically enjoy

Shudder’s June lineup has been released so I can start planning my birthday month watches already. The streamer is adding exciting new titles like Find Your Friends, The Voices of Our Mother, and The Ice Tower. However, as usual, it’s the old school bangers that have my attention.

I love it when women swerve into male-dominated lanes. That’s why I was so excited to catch Frankie, Maniac Woman at Salem Horror Fest. All I knew about the movie was that Frankie was different, in the violent kind of way. That was enough for me. Kat (my co-host) and I power walked down the

One of the things I mentioned in last year’s top 10 horror TV list is just how lacking horror TV has been. Sure, we’ve had some hits but we’ve also had some major losses and plenty of misses. Now, Widow’s Bay has entered the chat. And surprisingly, it’s a refreshing addition to genre TV. It’s

Most movies these days are incredible video sensations, making it easy to overlook, or rather overhear, the soundtrack. In most films, the soundtrack only sets the atmosphere. In great films, such as Sinners, the soundtrack is the film’s bloodstream. Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror story relies on the sounds of blues, gospel, folk, Irish music, and

I had the opportunity to watch Hokum at Overlook Film Festival in a packed theater amongst friends. I had no idea what the movie was about except that Adam Scott was there and Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity) was directing. Also, I enjoy haunted places and folk horror, so Hokum worked for me. It’s also easy

I decided to see Leviticus on whim at the Overlook Film Festival, and I’m happy that I did! I went into the movie completely blind and learned during the introduction of the movie that it was an Australian film. So, I expected realistic brutality. I also discovered that it starred Joe Bird from Talk to

If you know me, you know I love werewolves. It was obvious that I was going to see An American Werewolf in London (1981) on the big screen at Overlook Film Festival, even if it was just me in the crowd (it was a packed house, btw). In addition to seeing one of the most
