Some killers are human. Some are supernatural. And then there is The Gunslinger from Westworld, a mechanical man with an itchy trigger finger, a malfunctioning processor, and a truly horrifying poker face. He has officially clanked his way into the Second Class Tier of the Hall of Killers, which feels appropriate for a man who…
Every now and then, a short film comes along that is so eerie, so perfectly executed, that it changes the course of someone’s career forever. Andy Muschietti’s Mama is one of those rare beasts. Clocking in at barely three minutes, this Spanish language short from 2008 packs more terror into its runtime than most horror…
Now, when a man who gave us The Haunting of Hill House says that something is one of his favourite projects, it is time to pay attention. Filmed in Vancouver, Flanagan’s Carrie promises to be “a bold and timely reimagining” of Stephen King’s 1974 debut novel—the story that first introduced the world to bullied telekinetic…
There are killers who are instantly iconic, and then there are killers who take a little time to grow on you—usually because their film was hacked to bits by nervous studio executives before anyone even saw it. Leonard Marliston, the deranged murderer from Cherry Falls, fits firmly in the latter category. He may not be…
Some movies cry out for a remake. Technology improves, social attitudes shift, and sometimes a fresh coat of cinematic paint brings a great story to a new audience.

Blumhouse is sharpening its knives and pencils for a brand-new venture into monster mayhem. The studio announced this afternoon that it will adapt Something Is Killing the Children, the acclaimed horror comic series from James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, into not one but two projects: a live action feature film and an adult animated…
Some killers slash, some stab, and some just… slowly slurp you up like human soup. This week, we welcome one of horror’s most underrated (and gooey) villains into the Third Class Tier of our Hall of Killers – The Lake Blob from Creepshow 2. That’s right, the mysterious, oil-slick-like monster from the segment The Raft…
Treasured Films have once again dipped their bloodied hands into the vaults of cult cinema to bring something special to collectors. Arriving in February 2026, the label will release Gialli, Guns and Gore: The Brutal Films of Darren Ward, a three-disc limited edition boxset celebrating one of the UK’s most fearless underground filmmakers.

Ah yes, The Fog remake. The film that drifts into your mind every few years like a misty, unwelcome memory and then thankfully vanishes again. It has been twenty years since Rupert Wainwright’s 2005 The Fog rolled into cinemas and straight off a cliff of mediocrity. The film was supposed to be a chilling reimagining…
