Rubberhead: The Life & Monsters of Steve Johnson is a beautifully crafted documentary that tells an incredible story of a man who shaped the entire film industry. A portrait of the life and times of Steve Johnson, one of Hollywood's most prolific special effects makeup artists. I got to chat with the director, Nick Taylor, and dived deep into the doc, the story of Steve Johnson, and the high impac...

A note on your windshield that shouldn't exist. A chair on the curb that really should've stayed there. Curry Barker built his name on exactly this kind of dread — small, ordinary objects that crack reality wide open. This week on Knight Watch: a Warnings and The Chair double feature, two of the shorts that put Barker on my radar before Obsession ever hit theaters. Full episode is up now for our G...

I was lucky enough to chat this week with Alexandra Essoe (Doctor Sleep) and Richard Harmon (Final Destination: Bloodlines) about their newest film, Pitfall! A spectacular story about a group of friends that go out to the woods and quickly have to be there for each other, as they try to survive the unexpected. We had a great conversation about their horror origin story, their characters, the theme...

There's already an electric shift when old friends who haven't spoken in years are suddenly in one room but include a mysterious suitcase with a machine that lets you climb into someone else's skin, then you have a party. It's What's Inside that counts after all. 🕯️ The nightmare doesn't stop here. Unlock exclusive Knight Light content on Patreon: video podcasts, trailer reactions, film reactions,...

Prince reacts to the trailer of his most anticipated films by Brian Duffield, Whalefall! Brian Duffield's survival thriller where a diver (Austin Abrams) searching for his dead father's remains gets swallowed whole by an 80-foot sperm whale, with one hour of air and Josh Brolin's voice rattling around in his head the whole way down. Full reaction available on Patreon — head to patreon.com/knightli...

The lights are still on in the house at the end of the street. Every other house on the block went dark when the comet passed. And it looks exactly like yours. Coherence is one of those films that sneaks up on you like a bad feeling you can't name. James Ward Byrkit shot this thing over five nights in his own living room with no script. Just eight actors, some cryptic notes slipped under their doo...

Curry Barker, Kane Parsons, and Mark Fischbach. What does these individuals have in common? They shattered box office expectations in 3 totally different ways from one another. In this episode of the Patreon-exclusive show, Knight Owl, Prince uses these 3 directors to a shine a light on how they were able to shake Hollywood and smashed through records. Listen to the full episode on patreon.com/kni...

★☆☆☆☆ — "Would NOT recommend. Avoid this hostel." Came in with high hopes. Reviews said friendly staff, beautiful women, unforgettable stay. The first two were true, I'll give them that. "Unforgettable" was also accurate, just not how I pictured it. The amenities are not for the guests. You ARE the amenity. 0/10, lost some friends, possibly some fingers. That's the Hostel experience in a nutshell....

A full stack of guests this episode as we talk to the director and cast members of their newest film, Hungry. Based slightly on the Hungry Hungry Hippo game, we have a new, fun horror film filled with terror. We talked about the behind-the-scenes moments, their horror background, and all the amazing elements that helped make this movie possible. From practical effects to giant set designs, this mo...

Does a reflection always tell you the truth? You walk past a mirror through your house, and through your peripheral, you spot something odd. Something out of place. You soon hear creaks and cracks throughout your home; emotions and demeanors of those closest to you grow cold and mean. You blame the mirror, but the mirror doesn't argue. It just waits. That's the Lasser Glass, and it's the star of M...

These are mainly video episodes that are only available on Patreon. Imagine waking up and finding a video camera with tape inside of it. You put the tape inside your dusty old VHS player. It begins, but something is off. It's your dream. That's VCR Willie. Alexanderthetitan's analog horror series is doing something genuinely unsettling, not just in what's on the tapes, but in what it means that th...

Join me as I interview Sasha Boggs about her horror comedy called Women. Think Mean Girls meets The Evil Dead. Ten women. One Austin bar. A bachelorette party held together by tequila, fake compliments, and years of unresolved resentment. As the night spirals out of control, passive aggression turns primal. Then the blood starts flowing. WOMEN is a horror comedy about female social dynamics, perfo...

The year is 1858. A new governess arrives at Ensor House — poised, polished, impeccably well-mannered. The children adore her. The staff did too. Victorian Psycho just dropped its first trailer, and Ghoulish Knights, we are not okay. Maika Monroe (our forever scream queen, fresh off Longlegs) is playing a governess who is hiding something deeply, violently wrong behind a very proper exterior, and...

The pressure down here isn't something you feel all at once. It's a slow squeeze, your suit, your lungs, the dark pressing in from every direction. Seven miles below the surface. That alone is terrifying, but that's not enough because the ocean is riddled with Chtulhu's spawn. Underwater doesn't get enough credit. William Eubank drops you into a deep-sea drilling crisis with almost no runway, no s...

The Ghouls of Knight Light are the core of why we do what we do, and to celebrate them, we decided to cover the films from their film list on Discord! If you would like to be involved, make sure to stop by Discord to join the conversations. Space was supposed to be the way out. No more mining. No more company quotas. No more Jackson's Star chewing you up and spitting you out shift after shift. Jus...

Desire is where ethics actually live. It's easy not to hurt people when you don't want anything. The test is what you do when you desperately, genuinely, achingly want something, and horror has been asking that question for decades. This Patreon exclusive starts with Curry Barker's Obsession and a deceptively simple premise: Bear doesn't think of himself as a monster. He just wants to be loved. An...

I got to sit down with the director of Speed Demon, Jon Keeyes, and it was a great time. We talked about his history in the horror genre, his search for his own voice, and a sneak peek at the making of the film. Speed Demon is one of those movies that takes risks and sets up something unique and original. Jon made the movie with a clear vision, and with his amazing team behind him, he made it poss...

Can you keep the lights on? I'm sure many of us had the experience of something lurking in the darkness whenever you flick a light switch off. Your heart might skip a beat, your eyes may play tricks on you, and your mind is your worst enemy. But the only way you can see Her is when you keep the Lights Out. Joined by our community manager, Alison, to assist in breaking down this paranormal tale of...

I had the extreme pleasure to chat with the writer/playwright of Forbidden Fruits, Lily Houghton. From being a play to the big screen, Forbidden Fruits has become an instant cult classic. We really deep-dived into its origins, her backstory as a writer, the SXSW premiere, and so much more. Forbidden Fruits is one of those movies that I truly believe will stand the test of time for many reasons. It...
