The recently resurrected Anchor Bay Entertainment will release a trio of new indie horror films on Blu-ray and DVD on December 10: Crust, Cursed in Baja, and Abruptio.

Character actor Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) makes his feature directorial debut on Crust, an offbeat horror-comedy about a sock monster that he co-wrote with Jim Wald.

Whalen stars with Daniel Roebuck (Terrifier 3), Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and Ricky Dean Logan (Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare).

In Crust, “Vegas Winters is a former child star who owns a laundromat. One of the benefits of running the place is finding all the leftover socks from his customers, which Vegas uses in creative ways. After Vegas becomes the victim of bullying, he seeks refuge from the attack in the pile of socks. His pain somehow creates a monster willing to seek vengeance for Vegas.”

Cursed in Baja...

As the weather gets colder and the Halloween season creeps in like an eerie fog, the warmth and carefree vibes of summer become more and more of a memory with each passing day. However, if you’re looking to relive the freedom and adventure of the summers of your youth while still maintaining the spookiness of the current season, then Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp may be the perfect comic for you.

In this original graphic novel from Idw Comics, aspiring cartoonist Zelda is excited to spend her summer at the art camp of her dreams. However, she and the other campers learn that the camp is now under some new and suspicious management. In an effort to avoid the new sports-focused curriculum, Zelda ventures off to find a secluded place to draw in peace. Although, rather than an artistic escape, she finds herself face to face with Minilla, the baby Kaiju,...

The legendary Shelley Duvall sadly passed away back in July at the age of 75 – but not long before she passed, she returned to acting after a twenty year break to take a role in the creature feature The Forest Hills (and, by the way, the creature in question is a werewolf). That movie is now set to reach theatres in the United States and Canada on October 4th, and with that release just a couple of days away, we’ve gotten our hands on some clips and promos, which you can check out in the embed above. Our review of the film can be read at This Link.

Review: Directed by Terrifier cast member Michael Leavy, the slasher movie Stream has two major selling points going for it: Terrifier franchise director Damien Leone provided the bloody special effects, and the cast list reads like the Expendables or the Avengers of horror.

From the team behind the Terrifier movies, Iconic Events Releasing brings Stream to theaters nationwide Tonight, August 21, 2024, with limited screenings through August 25.

The film’s cast is stacked with familiar faces and horror icons, and Variety spills the beans this week that Tim Curry is making a top secret appearance in the gory horror movie!

Variety reports this afternoon, “The veteran actor will return to the big screen as a character in the horror film Stream, which is opening Wednesday in select theaters. It will be his first feature film role since the 2010 comedy Burke & Hare, even though he has worked on many animated projects as a voice actor since then.” Variety notes in their report, “He also appeared in the 2016 television film remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Fox.”

“This has been a really hard secret to keep and contain our excitement, especially for this long,...

Tim Curry is back! The legendary actor hasn’t done much on-screen acting since his stroke in 2012, with his most recent screen appearances coming in the 2010 John Landis film Burke and Hare (pictured above), the 2012 comedy What About Dick?, and the TV presentation The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again in 2016. But today, Curry has returned to the big screen in the horror film Stream!

Terrifier cast member Michael Leavy has directed Stream – and not only has he brought Terrifier and Terrifier 2 director Damien Leone on board to handle the special effects, but he also packed the cast with genre icons.

A while back, Stranger Things and Ghostbusters: Afterlife actor Finn Wolfhard made his feature directorial debut with a horror comedy called Hell of a Summer, which he directed alongside Billy Bryk, who also appeared in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and gave it a 5/10 review than can be read at This Link – and now, Variety reports that Hell of a Summer has secured a U.S. distribution deal with Neon, which sent Longlegs and Cuckoo out into the world. The company is planning to give Wolfhard and Bryk’s film a theatrical release sometime in 2025.

Months before Hell of a Summer was officially announced, Wolfhard said that he was planning to make his feature directorial debut with “a horror-comedy-slasher movie that takes place at a camp.” Sure enough, that’s what this movie is.

From the team behind the Terrifier movies, Iconic Events Releasing will bring Stream to theaters nationwide on August 21, 2024, with limited screenings through August 25.

Additionally, the first teaser trailer for the upcoming horror-comedy Screamboat will debut exclusively in theaters before those screenings of Stream from August 21 – August 25.

When Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator was released back in 1986, the director and production team surely never, in their wildest dreams, imagined that their cult classic horror flick would become a trilogy. Yet, here we are. If you caught our last video on sequel Bride of Re-Animator, you’ll know by now that, although I dug the VFX and carnage in all of its practically made splendor, the movie had little else going for it. Plus, Bride didn’t have a proper theatrical run to show that continuing the series would be profitable from purely a box-office perspective. However, what makes horror the very best genre known to the movie-making universe, which of course it is my fellow gore-hounds, right? Is that despite certain movies being ridiculed or unappreciated by unimaginative critics, they become cult classics regardless. Which is a wonderful thing. Just consider daft horror flicks like Night of the Lepus,...

The summer horror movie subgenre spoils us all with an embarrassment of riches, but this also means that whenever people come up with a list of recommendations, the same players make an appearance again and again. At this point, you shouldn't need an online list to tell you that "Jaws" is the ultimate July 4th viewing experience. And considering that "Midsommar," "Summer of '84," and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" have the season in the title of the movie, these are also no-brainer suggestions for summer horror movies. Summer is also the season for summer camp movies, so "Sleepaway Camp," the entire "Friday the 13th" franchise, parodies like "The Final Girls," homages like "Fear Street: 1978," and the entire roster of Cabin in the Woods horror movies are all easy picks.

Then there are the countless folk horror films in the vein of "The Wicker Man" that all scream "summer,...

Charles Band’s company Full Moon will be releasing the goofball comedy Barbie & Kendra Crash Joe Bob’s Drive-In Jamboree this Friday, June 28th – and in anticipation of that release, the Full Moon streaming service Full Moon Features is shining a spotlight on the entire Barbie and Kendra franchise, a series they say “started out of the necessities of pandemic lockdowns and has since become one of our most beloved franchises!” Barbie & Kendra Crash Joe Bob’s Drive-In Jamboree is the fourth chapter in the franchise that began with Corona Zombies (now known as Barbie & Kendra Meet the Corona Zombies) back at the height of the pandemic and has continued through Barbie & Kendra Save the Tiger King and Barbie & Kendra Storm Area 51. All of those movies were released in 2020, so it’s been a while since the last Barbie and Kendra adventure.

To celebrate the release of 80s slasher classic Madn man on 4K Uhd from Arrow Video, here’s a list of the ten best slasher movies released between 1980 and 1988… showcasing the best of the genre’s golden age, offering a mix of iconic killers, inventive kills, and unforgettable scares!

1. Friday the 13th (1980)

One of the most iconic slasher films of all time, “Friday the 13th” introduced audiences to Camp Crystal Lake and the vengeful killer who lurks there. With its shocking twist ending, the film set the stage for a long-running franchise and established many of the genre’s classic tropes.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Wes Craven’s horror masterpiece introduced Freddy Krueger, a terrifying figure who haunts the dreams of teenagers. With its inventive concept and blend of surreal horror, “A Nightmare on Elm Street” stands out as one of the most creative and enduring slasher films of the decade.

While you wait for Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 this coming October from Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting, the team’s next horror movie Stream is headed to theaters in August.

Iconic Events Releasing will bring Stream to theaters nationwide on August 21, 2024, and we’ve learned today that Days of the Dead Indianapolis will be hosting a sneak peek event on July 6. Fans in attendance will be treated to the very first look at the Stream theatrical trailer, with director Michael Leavy in attendance alongside producer Phil Falcone (Terrifier 2), Marcus Slabine, Danielle Harris, Felissa Rose and Dave Sheridan.

James Robinson and Scott Kolins team up for 'Patra, a new horror comic book series "about slasher monsters, mad scientists, and cult movie-inspired horror." With the first issue available from Dark Horse Comics this August, I caught up with James Robinson to learn more about the origins of this series, and to get a tease of what's to come for "One Innocent Girl... In A World Full of Maniacs!"

I'm very excited to have gotten a tease of 'Patra #1 and I can't wait to read more! Can you tell me about the origins of this series and what made you feel this was a great first series for your new collaboration with Dark Horse?

In truth, the timing that ‘Patra is the first of my series with Dark Horse was somewhat happenstance. I’ve been away from comics for a while with TV and prose, but I wanted to return...

Quick show of hands: how many of you reading this knew there were five "Sleepaway Camp" movies? Put your hand down, liar in the back, I see you. Casual movie fans are likely aware of "Sleepaway Camp" due to the film's infamous ending, or tracked it down after that one "Robot Chicken" sketch where they recreated the ending with claymation as a character exclaimed, "Oh, my god! Somebody remembered this movie and wrote a comedy sketch about it!" /Film gave the original film a spot on our ranked list of the "Best Slashers of All Time," so even if fans are unaware of the latter installments, there was, of course, always going to be sequels.

"Sleepaway Camp II" and "Sleepaway Camp III" mark the leading actor debut of Pamela Springsteen and take place years after the events of "Sleepaway Camp." The fifth film released but fourth in the timeline, "Sleepaway...

“You see, I’ve always wanted a little girl.”

School’s out for the summer and it’s time to roll up our sleeping bags, forge our physicals, put on our camp shirts, and head out to the woods. Sleepaway camp is often the first significant time kids spend outside of their homes and can be an opportunity to build independence and a sense of self-worth. At a normal camp, that is. Camp Arawak may just be the worst case scenario. In addition to horrific bullies and creepy cooks, there’s a killer lurking among the canoes and cabins. Someone is murdering counselors and campers alike and no one knows who will be next.

Angela (Felissa Rose) is a quiet girl headed to camp with only her cousin Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) to protect her. And it’s a good thing he’s there. Counselor Meg (Katherine Kamhi) and mean girl...

Orphan was released by Scream Factory on April 14th, 2024.

Murderous children is one of my favorite sub-genres of horror. Some are good, most are bad and a select few — including Orphan from 2009 — are truly great. Starting all the way back in 1956 with The Bad Seed, audiences have been captivated by the concept of children committing heinous acts of violence. Now, thanks to Scream Factory, we have one of the most shocking entries in the genre available on blu-ray with a brand-new, limited-edition slipcover.

Orphan Critique

Isabelle Fuhrman as Esther in The Orphan

Much like The Sixth Sense — and even Sleepaway Camp — Orphan is a horror film that’s primarily remembered for the twisted revelation at its conclusion; however, a movie has to be more than just its ending. Even knowing how the film ends, the rewatch-ability of Jaume Collet-Serra’s twisted tale is undeniable. The kill count is relatively low for this style of horror,...

Not to be confused with the 1986 Gary Paulsen novel that was on your fifth-grade reading list, Adam Green's 2007 slasher "Hatchet" was intended to be an homage to the plentiful stalk-and-kill movies from the 1980s. The first "Hatchet" takes place deep in the swamps of Louisana where feckless city-dwellers get lost while taking a swamp tour. They trade stories of Victor Crowley, a local kid with facial differences who, years ago, was trapped in a burning house set ablaze by prankster teens. Crowley was accidentally killed by his father when he recklessly used a hatchet to free him from the fire. Victor's spirit is now said to haunt the swamp and murder interlopers. Of course, Victor will appear to start the predicted murders. 

Victor Crowley was played by stuntman Kane Hodder, perhaps best known for playing the masked killer Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood,...

Sleepaway Camp by Bj and Harmony Colangelo is Now Available: "Initially considered "just another slasher film" during its 1983 release, Sleepaway Camp has since emerged as a cult classic due to its talented young cast, remarkable practical effects, and notorious ending. But although the queer themes explored in its memorable final moments were initially intended to shock and unsettle audiences, Sleepaway Camp's empathetic portrayal of its unlikely killer sets it apart from other "trans panic" films of its time.

Together, Bj & Harmony Colangelo assess where Sleepaway Camp falls in the slasher canon and do a deep dive on the film's themes and legacy, exploring how changing attitudes towards the LGBT community has led to both a reclamation and necessary critique of the film by modern audiences.

Sleepaway Camp's divisive reputation has inspired a decades-long debate that changes alongside the attitudes and culture of its viewers. Through historical context, personal memoir,...

This is most definitely the case with Thomas Walton’s new camp-based slasher Camp Pleasant Lake. It’s a film that seems to try to reinvent the camp slasher film, but doesn’t really succeed in filling it with life. It tries to do several things, in fact, and doesn’t really succeed in any of them.

But let’s start at the beginning. The Very beginning. 20 years ago, in the midst of their parents’ divorce,...
