Horror Weekly

Well, we all survived Halloween and the elections, so now it’s time for some serious horror! We’ll start off with the high-tech “Afraid” and the low-tech “Mr. Crocket.” We’ll go Down Under for “Rippy” and then off to Fantasyland for “Devil’s Knight.” Finally, we’ll watch a not-so-new found footage film, “Dashcam” (2021). The latest issue of “Horror Monthly” is now on sale, and it’s our biggest iss...

This week, we’ll continue our marathon of all-new films, taking us all the way up to Halloween. We’ll start with “The Substance,” a crazy body-horror story. “MadS” is up next, whatever that is.

Just a quick reminder that we’ve launched our companion podcast/newsletter, “ Classics Weekly ,” a brand-new Podcast/Newsletter devoted to classic films. Our second episode, devoted to “Singin’ in the Rain,” launched this week.

Three hundred episodes. Plus One. When we first decided to do a podcast, we thought one about Alfred Hitchcock's films would be fun. Partway through the second episode, we realized that he only made about 50 films, and we wanted to do something more ongoing. We decided to make it more generically about horror films in general. We chose well; with over 1700 films reviewed so far, there is no end in...

We’ve got an eclectic collection of weirdness for you this week: The much-improved sequel to last year’s “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” is out, as is a very nice caveman horror film, “Out of Darkness” from last year. “Wolf Creek 2” (2013) continues our fun with Mick from Down Under, and “The Wicker Tree” (2011) shows us how the folks on that crazy island are doing forty years later.

It’s been three years since we did our last “Shark Week,” and we thought it was high tide to do another. But this time with a twist– they’re all horror comedies. We’ll start off with “Sharktopus,” a terrible, terrible film that was good enough to spawn two sequels, “Sharktopus vs Pteracuda” and “Sharktopus vs Whalewolf,” which actually got better as the series progressed. Then we’ll take a look at...

Wait Until Dark, The Entity, Space Amoeba, Dark Places, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism Weekly Horror Bulletin Issue #289 We’ve got a mixed bag this week, some really good films and some awful stinkers.
