The house from Amityville Horror has been the birth place or inspiration for many horror stories, all supernaturally charged following the themes of the original book and movie. The book was based on the supernatural experiences that the Lutz family had in the house, all though these experiences later came out as false. Although the ghost stories untrue, the house was the scene of a horrific mass murder in 1974 when Ronald DeFeo Jr. ended the lives of his father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters. Now the movie is getting a prequel that focuses more on these events than…

The Haunting of Hill House debuted on Netflix last year and gained a lot of popularity fast, in part due to how scary elements of the show were. Not only was the show frightening, but it had an emotional and at times intense story revolving around the Crain family that the story centred around. One actor from the show expressed his shock at the more horror focused aspects of the series because the main emphasis when filming was on the drama side of the story. Oliver Jackson-Cohen starred as Luke Crain. His character battled with substance misuse and addiction for most…

In 1980 Stanley Kubrick adapted Stephen King’s celebrated horror novel, The Shining, into a movie. Although that movie has matured to be one of the most iconic of the genre, the author is not a fan of Kubrick’s adaptation and has made no secret of the fact. King published a sequel to the story called Doctor Sleep in 2013 and now that book has also been adapted for the screen and will be released at the end of the year. The director has now confirmed that the Doctor Sleep movie will not only be Stephen King’s story from the book, but…

Ready or Not is an upcoming comedy horror centred around a newlywed couple and the grooms insane family traditions. Now, you can watch the entertaining but completely bloody red band trailer for the picture. You can watch the trailer for the over-the-top game of hide and seek, below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtYTwUxhAoI The trailer certainly looks like Ready or Not has achieved a perfect balance between horror and comedy, with an interesting albeit not all that unique story. The clips provided are giving me definite Get Out or You’re Next vibes and I am certainly not mad about that. Samara Weaving stars as…

The Haunting of Hill House was released last year on Netflix. The series spanned 10 episodes and seemed to impress viewers. It was based on the book of the same name by Shirley Jackson and followed the Crain family. Although their tale was mostly wrapped up quite nicely, season 2 is coming and filming is starting towards the end of the year. The second season is set to transform the show into an anthology series and will be based on a completely different story, although that’s not to say we might not see a few familiar faces. With its new…

Orion’s reboot of Child’s Play with its new look doll and entirely new story and backstory is coming at the end of the month and to promote the release we already got a cool and suspenseful VR experience featuring the killer doll. Now we have some more cool material, and this one is a lot more violent and gorey. Orion have partnered with Lee Hardcastle for this super gross claymation video, in which Chucky terrorises other toys. You see him beat a very familiar looking children’s movie character into oblivion as well as slash, stab and disembowel the other toys…

The actress has shared her desire to change the name to something less male centred in the future, and at the premier of the movie in New York she offered some alternatives. Pluralist have reported that Thompson said “we’ll see. I think maybe we can maybe change the name at some point.” Some other options she…

You may have seen David F. Sandberg’s feature horror Lights Out from 2016, but did you know it originated as a short movie of the same name? When I say short, I mean very short. The original video is hardly 3 minutes long but it doesn’t take a long time to create a little bit of tension and fear. Check out the 2013 short Lights Out below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lykiTPUbtgs&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2KgBipk8pFzZxeLo9QaiVCyyTB6cj7acikIPw_d7B5mh3ktEJH9hk6PgA When you are all alone in a small dark room, what do you fear the most? Is it the temporary blindness or is it the uneasy deep feeling that someone, or rather…
