As we head into October, many of the small screen's horror staples are returning to our televisions, tablets, and Apple Watches[?] AMC's warhorse The Walking Dead returns for its 10th season on October 6th and Hulu's Castle Rock will give us some sort of a take on Misery on October 23rd. Ahead of the pack by nearly a month, viewers are introduced to FX's American Horror Story: 1984. Is this latest incarnation of the horror anthology series worth your time and attention? Looking at the first episode...

For as long as I’ve been a horror fan, I’ve loved Creepshow, the 1982 George Romero directed anthology. Taking on the tone of classic EC Comics horror stories and depicted with a clever comic book style, it still stands as the best anthology series to ever bleed on the silver screen. Now, Shudder has brought Creepshow back in an all new anthology series, and it’s as good as ever…

By embracing the story within the story, series creator and writer/director Stephen Cognetti presents the most satisfying chapter in the Abbadon Hotel Saga...

Reality television has always made me a little uncomfortable. I just can’t help but feel that the audience is being exposed to happenings that aren’t supposed to have eyes or ears on them. Intimate conversations and moments of sexuality that should be kept private are shown to a national television audience. It’s in this area of discomfort that Lonely Hearts brings the horror, but it’s a horror of a different kind...

One way to sell me on a horror film is to place it in some conventionally eerie setting. I love a good holiday-centric scare, and nothing fills me with greater joy than being able to point at some place that either isn’t that accessible, like a carnival, or that I just fear to do on principle, like a summer camp, and say “See! That’s why I don’t go there!” and Josh Hasty’s Candy Corn delivers on both counts...

Of all of the Universal classic monster movies, I always found James Whale’s Frankenstein to be the most interesting, because, while he may look like it on the surface, the “monster” is not, in fact, a true monster. So many versions of this story have been told since Mary Shelley first wrote her beautiful novel, and Depraved is the latest, which stitches together elements of the story for a heartfelt yet flawed creation…

If you plan on watching Riot Girls when it releases this week, put on your grungiest ripped up shirt and a spikes-bedazzled leather jacket, because this is by far the most punk-rock film of the year…

“You’re gonna pretend like your life isn’t already over”. No, that’s not just what a priest says to a couple when marrying them, it’s also a chilling line of dialogue from the new film Artik, which explores the mind of a killer obsessed with comic books to lengths more frightening than the idea of marriage…

Stephen King’s IT is a story that has been told three times now. And while it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone, it looks like It: Chapter 2 will be the third time that the “adult” section of the story is about 27 times weaker than the “kid’s” half…

Looking for a horror film this week that will have you on your knees hailing Satan and Googling the nearest upcoming blood orgy? Then you’re going to love the hellish treat that is Satanic Panic…
