One of the more popular horror films in recent years happened to be REC, a Spanish movie from director Paco Plaza. It proved that the found footage genre could be rather successful, and many horror fans have been eager to see Plaza’s next foray into the genre. It just so happens to be a film titled Verónica, which premiered on Netflix this Monday. The movie follows the titular character who must take care of her siblings between her father’s death and her mother’s tough working schedule. The film spins into motion once Verónica, along with her friends, activate a Ouija…

The future of Ash vs. Evil Dead has become uncertain, with pirating becoming an issue for the show’s ratings as well as multiple creative differences and other factors that could lead to a premature cancellation. But that doesn’t mean an end to the franchise – as star Bruce Campbell has suggested the series could continue the way it all began. That’s right, they could come out with a new Evil Dead movie. Campbell explained it all to EW, which has sparked fans with hope that Evil Dead is here to stay no matter what happens. “We’re in the horrible television…

Hellraiser: Judgment, believe it or not, was a personal story for director and star Gary J. Tunnicliffe. The movie was something special he had imagined quite some time ago. And so when the studio offered him the chance to make a Hellraiser film, he quickly pumped out Hellraiser into Darkness, a seemingly more generic script. Tunnicliffe fought for Judgment to be made instead – ultimately it worked. While Judgment has since been released, and the story now unveiled, fans have still been curious about whatever Hellraiser into Darkness was about. Now Tunnicliffe has explained the whole story to Midnight’s Edge.…

Jordan Peele’s Get Out ended up becoming one of the biggest horror releases in 2017. As such, director Jordan Peele is constantly giving out more information about the movie – both in terms of production and what we can expect to see happen in the future. One such tidbit Peele revealed about Get Out is an alternate ending that would’ve closed the film with a very bleak final scene. But now Peele has unveiled another alternate ending that would’ve been completely different. Peele explained the ending to THR, and unlike the first alternate ending, he never had a chance to…

The Godzilla and King Kong franchises are continuing to see a resurgence after what seemed like a quiet, desolate decade waiting for what would come next. Godzilla was rebooted in 2014, followed by a Japanese reboot in 2016, and an anime that premiered in the US this year. King Kong was rebooted with Kong: Skull Island in 2017 with plans for the giant gorilla to meet up with Godzilla in a 2020 crossover, Godzilla vs. Kong. Now we’re finally seeing these plans come to fruition as director Adam Wingard preps his shooting schedule. The film will reportedly be shot mostly…

Kane Hodder is an actor most fans of the horror genre should be familiar with. He not only played the iconic slasher Jason Voorhees during four consecutive installments, but Hodder also managed to extend his talents to other horror franchises – something he says he wants to do with another iconic franchise and character: Halloween’s Michael Myers! He was a stunt double for R.A. Mihailoff during Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and even portrayed Freddy Krueger’s cameo in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Hodder continues his slasher villain legacy even today, where he’s most notable for his role…

It seems that most horror fans have had a chance to check out the latest Hellraiser installment, Hellraiser: Judgment, and give in their two cents. Although it isn’t the back-to-basics direct sequel or even the reboot that most fans were hoping for, it does offer some new ideas for a franchise that many feel died a long time ago. One of the most interesting things about the film is how incredibly bizarre it manages to be at times. But apparently there was one scene Dimension Films just couldn’t handle being in the movie, and forced the filmmakers to completely tone…

Fangoria Magazine is slowly crawling back to life, not unlike the zombies many of its issues featured on their front covers. The popular horror brand has been acquired by Cinestate, who intend to bring the publication back as a quarterly as well as a way to produce new movies and podcasts. According to THR, the magazine was signed over to Cinestate CEO Dallas Sonnier from old publisher Thomas DeFeo. Cinestate now has complete control over Fangoria and all of its past issues, spanning over 39 years of horror content. Phil Nobile Jr., best known for the website birth.movies.death, has been…

Jason X is only one of multiple black sheep in the Friday the 13th franchise. While some of the sequels are targeted for deceptively taking place mostly on boats, or following body-hopping worm demons, Jason X gets trashed for taking place in outer space. Sure, it isn’t the first thing you think would get made when watching the original 1980 film starring Betsy Palmer – but I’ll give the filmmakers props for trying to come up with something different. Granted, all the fans really wanted was some continuity and to revisit the franchise’s roots, but at least they managed to…

One of the biggest draws for the Halloween franchise happens to be the return of original star Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s always felt like a special treat getting to see her in a slasher movie; and to see her return alongside John Carpenter and original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle in an all-new Halloween movie is way more than special. In fact, perhaps a more appropriate term would be miracle – after all, who would’ve expected this after the release of Rob Zombie’s Halloween? Or even after the release of Halloween: Resurrection? With that said, we’re getting closer to seeing…
