If you’re okay with the slower pacing of older horror movies, and don’t mind being a little lost at times, Messiah of Evil is completely worth the watch. And maybe you can finally figure out who the “Messiah of Evil” is once and for all. #MessiahOfEvil #HorrorSky #HorrorFamily
Deep Cuts from the Horror Archive: Messiah of Evil (1973) Review
Messiah of Evil offers a deliciously confusing early 70s cross between art film and horror, setting the stage for horror tropes to come.

If you're a fan of the Corman era Poe interpretations from the '60s, you'll be right at home here. This is not a period tale so it isn’t a costume drama, but it does strike the same tones. Read the short story. It will inform you of the background, without actually spoiling anything. #HPLFF2025

Curiosity is a dangerous thing. In cosmic horror, the exploration of truths can lead to fates worse than death, and yet, people will still seek to know things they really should leave alone. #HPLFF2025 #FilmFestival #HorrorSky

The long-sought-after German animated mystery about a series of unsolved murders among a group of domestic cats. Part detective story, Gothic mystery, and occult horror! Involving death cults, genetic experimentation, and a mysterious martyr religion. #HorrorSky #AnimatedHorror

Once again loaded with first-rate jump scares and fantastic period piece production design. The ghost story this time out is a muddled mess, though, and some of the secondary characters feel forced. #Conjuring #HorrorSky
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Review
The Conjuring: Last Rites is a solid closeout of the franchise for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. (Probably) Great jump scares are offset by a confusing ghost backstory.

Weapons has arrived in theaters, and it is one of the most original horror mysteries in memory. Give Zach Cregger the keys to the horror castle. He has elevated himself to the top of the ranks of horror storytellers. #HorrorFamily #HorrorSky #Weapons
Weapons (2025) Review
Weapons is a powerhouse horror mystery about a classroom of kids who flee their homes at 2:17 AM, never to be seen again. A triumph for director Zach Cregger.

This is a digital card deck-building game that combines with a construction simulator. This game presents a significant strategic challenge. Good luck! It starts easy and becomes deviously hard. #VideoGameReview #HorrorFamily #HorrorSky
Deck of Haunts: A PC Game Review
Deck of Haunts makes you a haunted house, luring unwary investigators into your rooms of doom. It's a gorgeous turn-based deck-building game that hits the theme on the nose.
