We’re well into September, and that means it’s time to get spooky. AMC certainly knows it. Today the network announced Janelle Monáe will return to host FearFest 2025. The award-winning musician, actor, and horror enthusiast will serve as the network’s “HalloQueen” throughout October.
There's always a feeling when it's still summertime out. It's hot, it's dry, there's really no hope on the horizon. But at a certain point, that summer heat meets its match with the autumn wind. Even here in Southern California, once you feel it, you know exactly what is coming on the horizon. The

The Pokémon franchise is usually filled with happy and joyous monsters that evoke memories of childhood for kids of the 90s, 2000s, and onward. However, there are a select few Pocket Monsters that don’t bring those cheery vibes. In fact, there are quite a few that bring out more sinister and

I can hear the groans. The usual suspects whining about remakes, reboots, legacy sequels, requels, whatever you want to call them. But there's a light at the end of that tunnel. When you take a classic horror movie like the original Street Trash and you get a filmmaker who "gets it" like Ryan

Southern California is the Halloween Haunt capitol of the world. They've got the best events like Halloween Horror Nights, Fright Fest, LA Haunted Hayride and others. We're pretty deep in the Halloween season, but I've been to all of the major haunts in SoCal and now it's time to rank them from

Horror movies and cameos go hand-in-hand. Since the dawn of the genre, we’ve had plenty of great cameos. Whether it’s a blink-and-miss-it cameo like Linda Blair in the first Scream movie. Or an extended one like Alice Cooper in Freddy’s Dead: The Final NIghtmare. Cameos allow for

The independent horror movie Terrifier 3 was the top dog at the box office, beating out films like Joker: Folie a Deux and The Apprentice. No matter what you think, that's a huge achievement for a film made on a shoestring budget compared to those films. The question remains though, is horror

When was the last time you actually watched The Texas Chain Saw Massacre? The seminal Tobe Hooper classic is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It was released today, October 11th, 1974. From the moment we all sat down and saw the sticky, hot, disgusting, and shocking film, audiences knew
When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
