It’s a good time to be a horror fan, with new and creative ideas being regularly introduced through the genre, and the best part is we don’t even have to wait until Halloween to get great ones. We’ve already seen a couple of spooky options hit the 2024 movie schedule, and up next we have Imaginary (not to be confused with John Krasinski’s IF — another movie about imaginary friends) from Blumhouse Productions. Critics have seen Imaginary, and most of them say they were left wanting when it came to the scares.Jeff Wadlow…

Have you been following the news out of the world of Stephen King this week? If so, you’re hopefully already catching up on Fargo Season 5 based on the author’s recommendation, and you may have caught his fun story about a lunch he once had with fellow legend Bruce Springsteen that involved an amazing interaction with a fan. But those aren’t the only King-related developments that have happened in the last seven days, and I’m here to catch you up with the latest edition of The King Beat.For this week’s column, I have for…

The dust has settled on Hollywood's first popcorn feast of 2024, and January's box office has taken a slower start. Timothée Chalamet's whimsical Wonka waltzed across the box office, while Blumhouse is swimming towards a highly profitable margin. And in a twist worthy of Aquaman himself, the under-hyped sequel after enduring loads of side eyes, managed to swim its way toward financial redemption. Not a good start for Warner Bros as The Color Purple slides down to lower ranks. Timothée Chalamet's whimsical Wonka…

A luxury item that seemingly every warm-weather homeowner covets, the swimming pool has somehow become troubled waters for a wide range of movie and TV characters. In The Swimmer, it’s a symbol of personal decay for Burt Lancaster’s alcoholic suburbanite. In the simply-titled Swimming Pool it’s the stuff of Franco-British erotic intrigue. And in Stranger Things, there’s all manner of nastiness lurking beneath the seemingly placid chlorinated surface. In short, there are – ahem – depths to the onscreen pool party, more…

From murder-crazed psychopath Stu Macher to deranged entertainment center owner William Afton, actor Matthew Lillard has delivered an unforgettable lineup of pulse-pounding performances in the horror genre (and, lest we forget, also squared off against the supernatural as Shaggy in 2002’s Scooby-Doo). After officially collaborating with Blumhouse earlier this year, Lillard has insisted that he’d “happily” star in Blumhouse movies for the rest of his career. So, it’s the perfect time to explore which other roles he’d be…

Following the collapse of the Dark Universe, i.e. the shared continuity that would have had the Universal Monsters mingling in the same continuity launched by 2017’s The Mummy, the film studio has reverted to a standalone approach with adapting these classic characters. This included Blumhouse handling 2020’s The Invisible Man, which CinemaBlend stamped with 4.5 out of 5 stars, and the production company has also been set to put its stamp on the Wolfman for years now. Well, that movie is finally moving forward, but…

Remember what happened the last time Blumhouse and David Gordon Green decided to spearhead a brand-new trilogy of films for a horror franchise kicked off by one of the genre’s greatest-ever films before descending quite rapidly into near-unwatchable mediocrity? We got the 2018 Halloween movie, and it was pretty darn good. Fast forward to this past weekend, where Oppenheimer moviegoers were treated to a first look at The Exorcist: Believer, sending longtime fans of the decades-long franchise into a ghostly tizzy. Whether…

Image: Blumhouse ProductionsWithin the last decade, Blumhouse has been a key figure in helping horror movies become a bigger part of mainstream pop culture. With classic franchises like Halloween and The Exorcist under its belt alongside its own originals such as The Purge and M3GAN, the production company continues to expand. One of its next big projects is an adaptation of Scott Cawthorn’s popular video game series Five Nights at Freddy’s, and if Jason Blum has his way, it won’t be the only game that Blumhouse…

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky — the horror family! That’s right, critters, it’s time once again for us all to gather around and take a long look at the newest breadcrumbs of gossip in the spooky realm.

From the fresh-faced trailer for The Nun 2 terrorizing the entire community…
