Clue's 40th anniversary is close at hand, and with it we'll be getting a special Steelbook! So of course we had to have @sharai.bsky.social discuss how this movie is the reason she is a "theatrical little bitch" #horrorsky

‘Clue’ is the Only Film Based on a Board Game That Works

The Clue 4K Blu-ray SteelBook is dropping on October 21st to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the movie I love. So, I took this as a sign to write a love letter to the film that is a huge part of w...

This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of SILVER BULLET, so please check out my article on @horrorpress.com about how it deserves to get its flowers just as much as (or… even more than) that OTHER Corey Haim monster movie.

‘Silver Bullet’ Should Be Just As Popular As ‘The Lost Boys’

When you hear the phrase “Corey Haim horror movie,” your mind, it’s safe to assume, jumps to The Lost Boys. That’s only natural. Hell, that’s probably the title that comes to mind when you hear the ph...

With a certain home invasion movie releasing this weekend, we'd like to take a moment to say that KIDNAPPED is the most hardcore home invasion movie we've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, change that! But be warned, it doesn't pull any punches. #horrorsky

‘Kidnapped’ Review: The Most Hardcore Home Invasion Movie

The year was either 2010 or 2011. I was sitting on the beach during my family’s yearly vacation. Leading up to this week, I couldn’t wait to open and peruse the pages of the new Fangoria I had purchas...

THIS FRIDAY, our second feature film SAINT DROGO is finally coming to Blu-ray! With hours of special features including directors commentary, see the film @horrorpress.com calls “a signature blend of quiet rage and grotesque practical effects that would make any gore hound flinch.”

Here’s how I’m kicking off Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month: I want you to read this one for the story, for my soul. However, today I say read it as a fuck you to every racist who’s called me a slur and every “too much Spanglish” 1-star review and every death threat after I won the Stoker. Sigo aquí.

The show is definitely worth a watch! I'm not sure how much sense the movie will make since it's picking up right where the series left off and is setting up the ending.

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University
campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement.
Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn't make anyone a bad person. It's a choice to write an obituary that begins
"Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children."
