Throughout the decades, slasher film villains have had their fair share of bizarre motivations for committing violence. In Jamie Langlands’s The R.I.P Man, killer Alden Pick gathers the teeth of his victims to put in his own toothless mouth in deference to an obscure medieval Italian clan of misfits.

The Twisted Childhood Universe gathers steam with it’s latest addition of Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare—a slasher that embraces the complexity of queer characters.

Co-director of New Fears Eve, P.J. Starks, talks about the making of his newest hit on Screambox, working with industry legends, and what’s next for both “The Doctor” and the director, himself.

In his feature directorial debut, Alex Kugelman looks to peel back the layers of nepotism and gatekeeping in Hollywood in Don’t Trip. Starring Matthew Sato and Will Sennett, and with appearances by Fred Melamed and Chloe Cherry, Don’t Trip follows Dev Ryan, a struggling screenwriter whose desperation to get his script into the hands of a producer sends him hurtling toward a (comically) tragic end.

Last year, I found myself at odds with the majority of moviegoers who saw Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.  The reactions generally ranged from apathy to vitriol—how dare they stain the reputations of such loveable public domain characters? That film garnered only 50% approval from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and a shocking 3% from critics.

As a masked figure called the “Sweet Angel” goes viral in a social media challenge, three teens play the game as a joke, each nominating someone they’d like to see die. But when they are unexpectedly chosen by the Angel, they’re forced to follow through on their nominations, or risk death themselves.

It’s hard to imagine that Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey could be any further from the vision A.A. Milne had for his characters in the Hundred Acre Wood when he created them in 1926. Now that the characters are in the public domain, however, it didn’t take long for writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield to bring the children’s tale to its inevitable, horrifying conclusion. 

Directed by Eli Craig and based on the novel by Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield stars Katie Douglas as Quinn, a teen forced to move to Kettle Springs with her father Glenn played by Aaron Abrams following the death of her mother. After finding herself in detention on her first day of school, Quinn falls in with the local gang of amateur YouTubers who’ve built their following on a web series that turns the town’s de facto mascot into a crazed masked killer.

Looking for a delightful Valentine’s Day film? The Loved Ones features teenage love gone dangerously wrong, subverting gender stereotypes and harkening back to the tried and true slashers that we all love.

Cinematic trilogies are common, but few tell the epic anti-hero story as well as the Friday The 13th films. These beloved movies capture one of the most iconic horror characters of all time: Jason Voorhees.

In both mainstream and indie circles, true crime-inspired thrillers are on the rise, and directors at this year’s Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival Thriller Picture Show did not disappoint.

In Damien Leone's Terrifier 3, the franchise delivers another grotesque yet darkly comedic horror. A standout in modern horror, the film combines over-the-top gore with laugh-out-loud moments, cementing its place as essential holiday viewing for horror fans.

Make a toast to the latest and greatest horror icon in this terrifyingly delicious cocktail inspired by Art the Clown of the Terrifier franchise.

Longlegs, straightforward as it appears, is one that will undeniably bear fruit with repeated screenings.

Ti West’s final film in his most recent trilogy surprises with a unique ending.

Pearl, the prequel to X and second film in Ti West’s series about a farm girl in Texas, stars Mia Goth in an exceptional performance in a horror movie unlike any other.

Ti West’s 2022 horror film X (starring Mia Goth) is the first in a trilogy that challenges audience expectations with female agency, the pain of growing old, and toxic masculinity— with a body count.

In Grady Hendrix’s novel The Final Girls Support Group, readers get a first person persepective of what it’s like to be a real Final Girl.
