We're going on a trip to the far east, where Horror delves where Hollywood had feared to tread. We're trading in the hillbilly horror for some scary little girls with wet hair! Join Liz, Eric, and Mike for a combo plate of some of our favorite offerings from across the Pacific.
Finally, a leading lady role for Octavia Spencer, as she gets to play a flamboyant teenager killer! Ten bucks says that this is going to be a lot of fun.

Probably the most anticipated horror movie of 2019 has its first reveal in the just-released teaser trailer for It Chapter 2, an extended clip featuring Jessica Chastain's adult Beverly Marsh. It's time to revisit Pennywise, and all those awful things in Derry.
It’s a Vampire all-star show! A who’s who of Hollywood vampires just showed up as the council in the most...
Forget the slow burn, let's get this show off with a BANG! It doesn't guarantee that the movie is going to be great, but making a good first impression, like a blind date, can shape the rest of your experience.

What would happen if you barfed out your inner demons, and they came to life? Good news! The Cleanse will answer that very strange question for you.

Interlocking circles of revenge is the background of this brutal 2010 special agent vs. serial killer film. By the end of the movie, you are rooting for everyone to lose. (And yet, it's still a pretty good movie.)
This is the most ambitious of the 40th Anniversary short films. A bit of Phillip K. Dick investigation of the...
As if surviving a hurricane isn't scary enough, now there are alligators camping in the basement in your flooded house. Worst case scenario x2 in this Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi production.

Happy Arbor Day! It's time to talk about Killer Plant Movies. You know those unthinking green life forms have it in for us, don't you? There are a surprising number of killer plants in horror movies. Some of them are great, some... um... not so much. Here we have the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous.

Heavy Metal and Horror combos go together like peanut butter and some really bloody jelly. Getting the band back together was never such a bad idea.
Coming soon to a genre festival near you! M.W. Daniels brings you House of Lexi, starring Emma Dark.
This might sting a little. (Aiiieeeee!!!) Jeff Dean joins Eric and Mike again in taking on our favorites Hospital Horror shows.

Themes of madness, isolation, grief, jealousy, and demons abound in this 2018 Horror Western. A pinch of Little House on the Prairie, a dollop of The Shining, a dash of the Witch, and a splash of High Plains Drifter.
As if life on a mining colony wasn’t tough enough. Alien: Night Shift is a prelude to some very bad...
We're getting a little trippy, a little sexy, and going full-on grindhouse... here comes the 1970's!
