Dead or Alive, His Brain Is Coming With Us: Cain Enters the Hall of Killers

The Hall of Killers has welcomed serial killers, monsters, maniacs and assorted individuals you’d probably avoid sitting next to on public transport. Today, however, we have a slight logistical problem. Our latest inductee weighs considerably more than the average murderer, is heavily armed and technically doesn’t have a body anymore. Cain from RoboCop 2 has…

Bleed the Night is a new vampire horror movie set in 1994 about a teenager and her dangerous new vampire friend

Bleed the Night Will Take Us Back to 1994 for a Teenage Vampire Crime Spree

Vampires have always been remarkably good at changing with the times. Hammer gave us Christopher Lee stalking through Gothic castles, the 1980s put bloodsuckers in leather jackets and sunglasses, the 1990s found room for everything from lavish Gothic romance to broad comedy, and the 2000s eventually made them sparkle. Now another vampire movie is preparing…

Sam Lives! Michael Dougherty Opens a New Chapter for the Trick ’r Treat Halloween Icon

For almost two decades, horror fans have spent every October asking Michael Dougherty some variation of the same question: when are we getting more Trick ’r Treat?

Dennis Etchison’s unmade Halloween 4 featuring Michael Myers and the abandoned alternative sequel developed with John Carpenter

The Unmade: Dennis Etchison’s Halloween 4

There are enough abandoned Halloween sequels to fill an entire cemetery. Michael Myers has spent nearly fifty years being shot, stabbed, burned, decapitated, retconned, rebooted and occasionally informed that several of his previous adventures no longer happened. Long before the franchise started treating continuity like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, however, John Carpenter and…

Michael Myers and classic slasher movie imagery representing the history and conventions of the slasher film genre

What Actually Makes a Slasher Film a Slasher?

Everybody knows a slasher film when they see one. At least, we think we do. Put a masked lunatic on the poster, give him something unpleasant from the gardening section and surround him with teenagers who have apparently never heard the phrase “stay together”, and we’re probably somewhere in the right neighbourhood. Except horror has…

Tree Gelbman has been murdered, stabbed, blown up, poisoned and forced to live through the same birthday more times than anyone should reasonably be expected to tolerate. Seven years after we last saw her, however, Jessica Rothe still isn’t ready to let Tree’s story end. The actress has revealed that she and writer-director Christopher Landon…
