We all know that Halloween felt a bit different as a kid. The whole season was different; now that we're adults, things speed up, and we have less time overall because of work and other adult things. As a kid, there were a couple of things that meant the Halloween season was coming. It sounds like

Like Halloween III: Season of the Witch, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge was much maligned on its release and has since gained a cult following in the video/streaming era. The cult following is definitely for different reasons, but its a cult following all the same. As part of the
Its been SIX years of Fright-A-Thon, with this year being the seventh. We all know seven is a special number, its a magic number to some. There's the myth of the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son after all. However, sometimes things need a bit of a reboot. Like Halloween (2018) or Scream (2022),

By the time A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors rolled around in 1987, two things were on top of the goddamn world. Heavy metal and Freddy. So what did New Line Cinemas decide to do? Put the two together. Dokken is an American heavy metal band featuring Don Dokken and George Lynch. Both
Fright-A-Thon is a celebration of all things Halloween and horror. The Halloween season is already here with the calendar flipping from August 31st to September 1st. So to kick off the season of screamings, we've got a Halloween Movie Marathon for you with movies every day to follow along with from

Why do people say things like "Oh well Halloween was better in the 90s" or something like "Halloween sucks these days"? Other than nostalgia for an era bygone, I think there are several reasons why. Normally on Halloween, I like writing something that's uplifting or fun like a Top 10 Horror Movies
Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando is already open and Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is also open for business. Both events run on select nights until November 1st through Halloween. For first-time visitors, it might seem like a daunting task to go and experience all that is Horror
We might be back in a golden age of fast food tie-ins. It was looking a bit scary there for a second but with things like KPop Demon Hunters and others making people flock back to grab licensed items at places like McDonalds and Jack In The Box, we're eating good again. This year, Jack In The Box
Knott's Scary Farm took the title of Best Halloween Haunt event last year from Halloween Horror Nights. The Buena Park-based theme park is looking to hold that title for 2026 with two new haunted mazes that solidify a ten-maze lineup. We said goodbye to The Grimoire and Mesmer last year, which made
So are you looking for some Halloween action at your local Regal movie theater this October? We've got Resident Evil coming out this weekend and then films like Other Mommy, Whalefall, and Clayface coming out later, but for horror hounds out there, they need more. Luckily for us, Regal is bringing
Zach Cregger can seemingly do no wrong after the release of Barbarian and Weapons. The director brought his style and substance to the Resident Evil franchise. One that he's a huge fan of, but with a movie that doesn't exactly 1 to 1 adapt those games. And that's really for the best. I know, I
Peacock and A24 showed off the first official trailer for Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series, over the weekend. What I thought would have been the talking point was just how good the series looks, but people online have instead latched onto a couple of seconds in the trailer showing
It is increasingly rare for me to not only go to a Halloween haunt that I've never been to before in Southern California, but go to one that impresses me as much as SeaWorld's Howl-O-Scream event did. The event kicked off from SeaWorld San Diego and they've brought out their biggest IP house ever
The highly anticipated Peacock series, Crystal Lake is finally coming out soon this Halloween season, and the full trailer for the series has dropped from A24 and Peacock. Check out the trailer below. The new trailer shows off plenty about the series including Pamela Voorhees in her classic sweater

AMC FearFest is one of the most exciting times for a horror fan out there. The long-running cable TV programming block during October and Halloween season is the reason a lot of us out there started loving horror. Yes, it might be the TV versions of the films, but there's not a whole lot of things
Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
Daemons of the Shadow Realm reveals the depths a certain hunter named Ivan has in Ep. 20 "The Hunted and the Hunter". It's very bloody and dark depths, but it does show that Ivan will likely be a major recurring villain in the story, and will play a major role in that story somehow. As well as
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
