Summer may be waning, but it's still hot enough to risk a dip in the pool - or, maybe not if you take a look at this list of #horror movie swimming pools by @cullenwade.bsky.social www.horrorhomeroom.com/chlorinated-...

Zach Creggers' WEAPONS may not be one of the best horror movies ever made (as some have claimed), but it is damn good #WeaponsMovie #Weapons horrorhomeroom.com/yes-zach-cre...

Working on Attila Veres' sophomore collection, which is amazing. Fans of THE BLACK MAYBE will love it! What's even more amazing, though, is that Attila translated the stories himself from Hungarian, and his translations need less editing than almost any I've seen even from a native speaker.

Recently discovered that my piece on slashers (2021) for the @horrorhomeroom.bsky.social special issue on the genre was cited in a CNN article from last year - what are the odds?! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/10/...

My review of an excellent recent entry into the folk horror canon, Dean Puckett's THE SEVERED SUN. "I would argue, in fact, that in many ways, The Severed Sun is an early 21st-century re-imagining of Blood on Satan's Claw." @darkskyfilms.bsky.social #folkhorror horrorhomeroom.com/the-severed-...

"Rich in motifs associated with folk horror . . . Daiei Motion Picture Company’s The Whale God (1962) depicts a village’s descent into madness in its quest to slay a deified cetacean known as Kujiragami, or the Whale God." #TheWhaleGod www.horrorhomeroom.com/the-whale-go...

Tetsuro Takeuchi's WILD ZERO: "Yes, in 1999, a Japanese punk band without any queer members made an explosion-filled horror comedy about zombies, the power of rock music, and trans love." www.horrorhomeroom.com/wild-zero-th...

My review of Joshua Erkman's A DESERT, now playing from @darkskyfilms.bsky.social "A Desert is a beautiful & devastating film – &, although watching it is at times difficult, it’s also an important film." For any fans of PSYCHO out there, an especial must-see www.horrorhomeroom.com/everything-b...

I'm always thankful for Horror Homeroom's willingness to indulge my movie obsessions!

Check out this fascinating piece by @lkremmel.bsky.social on THE RULE OF JENNY PEN, dir. by James Ashcroft and streaming on @shudder.com - an important and very disturbing film, replete with creepy dolls and more! @ifcfilms.bsky.social #horror #elderhorror horrorhomeroom.com/who-rules-th...

So we loved Adam Cesare's novel, CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, which we talk excitedly about here. Check out his novel as well as the film (which opens today) #ClownInACornfield #horror #Podcast horrorhomeroom.com/a-frendo-in-...

A Hexham head-inspired film that delivers 46 minutes of beautifully shot ritual sacrifice, standing stones, archaeological excavations, bedroom presences, and Frazer/Murray-inspired writing. FROM THE DARK EARTH (O'r Ddaear Hen, 1981) is perfect comfort viewing.

Talk about an article appearing at the right time & right place (to support my own interests). Fascinating.

The controversial 2010 remake of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET directed by Samuel Bayer was released on this day fifteen years ago. Here's a defense of it! PS - It's one of the great @kylegallner.bsky.social's early films #NightmareonElmStreet www.horrorhomeroom.com/in-defense-o...

This movie is absolutely incredible.

Brilliant discussion by Nicole Huff of Ryan Coogler's SINNERS, Black joy, and Afrofuturism #Sinners #SinnersMovie #Blackhorror #horror #Afrofuturism horrorhomeroom.com/black-joy-wh...

What a delight to interview the brilliant Aislinn Clarke about her atmospheric folk horror film, Fréwaka, out on Shudder today!

DAY OF THE ANIMALS from 1977 remains one of my favorite 'revenge of nature' #horror films - and is perfect for your Earth Day viewing. Watch for interesting animal POV shots in the midst of the madness. And it's on Tubi. #EarthDay #EarthDay2025 www.horrorhomeroom.com/day-of-the-a...

Want some #horror with your #Easter? Check out some classics: www.horrorhomeroom.com/top-10-horro...

The short film 'Easter' from the HOLIDAYS horror anthology, released in 2016, remains in my view the best Easter horror. Written and directed by Nicholas McCarthy. Check out the Easter Bunny as you've never seen him #Easter #EasterBunny www.horrorhomeroom.com/nicholas-mcc...

We're waiting in high anticipation for the release of @aislinnclarke.bsky.social's new film, Fréwaka, on Friday 25th on @shudder.com Till then, though check out her brilliant THE DEVIL'S DOORWAY, also on #Shudder; our review here #Frewaka #FolkHorror www.horrorhomeroom.com/the-devils-d...

I have a thing for Irish horror and FREWAKA is exactly my jam. Written and directed by Aislinn Clarke (THE DEVIL'S DOORWAY), this slow burn chiller digs deep into Irish folklore to tell the story of a caregiver haunted by her traumatic childhood. Stunning visuals. Coming to Shudder soon. 🎥 #filmsky

If you're looking for some good Irish indie folk horror, check out Anthony White's THE DEVIL'S WOODS - ten years old this year. My review is below #horror #slasher #folkhorror #SupportIndieFilm #supportindiehorror horrorhomeroom.com/the-devils-w...

FYI: SEVERANCE star Britt Lower and scream king David Dastmalchian are set to star in SENDER, an upcoming psychological horror produced by Jamie Lee Curtis.

How connected, exactly, are the JFK assassination and Wes Craven's NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET? Both are nightmares on Elm Street, but Adam Pasen goes much further in suggesting pretty intriguing connections #NOES #JFKassassination #slasher www.horrorhomeroom.com/freddy-on-th...
