Hey y’all - I didn’t realize this went live but there’s a new book celebrating the RE-ANIMATOR franchise coming soon & I did a lion share of interviews for it, plus the history of the 1st film & celebrated Stuart Gordon’s live theatre legacy too. Pre-order now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pul...

New creature feature from the director of The Wailing and it looks INSANE

Was devastated to learn about Kôji Suzuki passing away. Went and wrote about The Ring and its massive impact on the horror genre for Dread.

I loved Obsession so, so, so, so, so, so much. A feral nightmare that strips down the toxicity of co-dependency to its most primal core while screaming in the face of incel men everywhere. Inde Navarrette delivers a performance on the level of Hereditary’s Toni Collette Curry Barker’s the real deal

I wrote about LOST HIGHWAY for my horror column. This one is different from his later films. We aren't meant to identify or empathize with anyone. We are meant to observe. It's closer to his work as a painter where rationalization is elusive & the world is cruel. www.patreon.com/posts/monste...

And a banger it will be. Excited to be going back to back with the great Sam Raimi. Rejoice horror fans this one is gonna be insane.

Sam Raimi getting ready to deliver another banger. If you've never seen the OG Magic, definitely do. One of Anthony Hopkins' creepiest performances.

Happy Obsession weekend to all who observe

Hey y’all, I don’t really get to promote my site as much as I want to but it’s my little hub in this universe & it’s a bummer that I still get more 👀 on my dead site than this one, so any & all shares are deeply appreciated. I offer free & paid subscriptions too - everything helps. Thank you! 🖤

Seeing the Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma reviews coming out like:

I’ve always dug Urban Legend and the way it looks at the effects of horror stories on our culture. Decided to finally write about it for Dread.

Focus Features has been giving fans a chance to text with Obsession’s “Nikki”. I opted in, thinking, why not? The experience creeped me out so bad, I decided to write about it for Dread.

Beyond thrilled that Tales from the Crypt is on Shudder now. Halfway through season 2 and have so many great memories coming back of watching it with friends in my parent’s basement in the 90s. Played a massive role in my love of horror. About time it’s finally streaming

I sold a short story to the NoSleep Podcast! And it's the lead-off story of this week's episode! "The Stream" follows three friends who search for a secret horror movie hidden on a streaming service...and what happens when they find it. Hope y'all enjoy!

Ten years ago, Mike Flanagan released three films and cemented himself as a new master of horror. For Dread, I looked back at those movies and how they set the stage for what was to come from the filmmaker.

Sam Raimi's hilariously twisted battle of the sexes, SEND HELP, is on Hulu now, so I thought I'd share my spoiler-free review of the home release again. #filmsky #horrorsky #sendhelp elementsofmadness.com/2026/04/17/s...

With Mortal Kombat II kicking into theaters this week, I went back and looked at why Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 film remains a top tier video game adaptation at Dread.

Mortal Kombat II finally gets to the tournament this time, but all the same story issues from the previous outing still exist. My review at Dread:

Evil Dead Burn looks like it’s going to continue the tradition of every Evil Dead film being a total banger

And now you can read about my experience at Universal Horror Unleashed at Dread.

Happy #StarWarsDay! Did you know that there is a ton of horror in the Star Wars Universe?! 5 years ago, I wrote an article compiling all the horror in the films, shows, and movies! Am I missing anything you can think of? sarahstubbssays.com/star-wars-an...

Got a chance to check out Universal Horror Unleashed in Vegas & had a great time. What’s neat is they only send one group at a time through the houses. That meant I had to go through each one by myself. Never felt so nervous in a haunt. Runs all year, so give it a look next time you’re in Vegas.

Hi everyone! Today, THE CRAFT is celebrating its 30th anniversary so I wrote something about why it means a lot to me & to so many others as well. Features some fun tidbits from my 2016 interview w/the director & from Fairuza Balk too: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/we-are-still...

I worked on this for nearly a month & I do wish it was better but I was so glad to finally hit “publish” on it: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/william-pete... I hope y’all enjoy this &I hope maybe some new folks will consider subscribing (this is open to both free & paid subs). Cheers!

Happy May. Looking to be a fantastic month for horror

So, yeah, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is going to be an absolute banger.

Happy Alien Day! If you’ve never seen the Alien 3 Assembly Cut, make that your mission to check out on HBO Max today. It’s great.

Stranger Things: Tales from '85...a perfectly "fine" nostalgia trip back to the past that delivers on some fun new monsters and characters, but not much else. My review at Dread:

Clayface giving all the horror vibes. I’m so in

Damian Mc Carthy once again delivers an abundance of scares and suffocating tension with Hokum. His use of claustrophobic settings and atmospheric lighting is perfection. I enjoyed Caveat and Oddity a touch more, but I love all three. (Damian & Adam Scott pictured below)

Happy John Carpenter’s The Fog day! To celebrate, I wrote up a list of exceptionally foggy horror films for Dread to watch alongside the classic haunter.

I haven’t seen Obsession yet, but based on everything I’ve heard, Barker sounds like he’ll nail Texas Chainsaw.

Happy THE FOG Day everyone! Last year, I celebrated its 45th anniversary & thought I’d share my piece again today on this, the 21st of April. from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/45-years-lat... I’d appreciate any shares and/or subs - thanks so much!

I hate to say it, but The Mummy is bad. Like having someone scream loud nonsense in your face for two hours (why Cronin needed two hours for this is beyond me). Sure, there's some great, gnarly, gross moments, but they don't make up for this low-rent Evil Dead film that forgets to be a mummy movie.

While I think it walks a little too closely to Wirkola’s original, Over Your Dead Body is a bloody riot. Weaving and Segel are perfect together. Both nail the utter madness of the premise and are such a joy to watch. Audience was cackling. Definitely go see it if you need a good, gory laugh.

Forgot to share, but caught a screening of Faces of Death last week with the filmmakers & cast. Love the way Goldhaber & Mazzei continue to shine a light on the horrors of the gig economy, this time looking at content moderation. A disturbing, bloody & surprisingly funny update for the TikTok era.

Need Godzilla Minus Zero hooked into my veins immediately. This looks fantastic

Critters was one of my favorite gateway horror films as a kid, so of course I had to celebrate its 40th anniversary this past weekend at Dread.

Exit 8 may be light on plot, but that never bothered me because it executes the liminal horror of it all wonderfully. Based on a game, it makes you feel like you’re playing along with the characters, experiencing all their confusion, terror and crushing devastation when things don’t go as expected.

Great night at the 20th anniversary screening of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Incredible to watch with a crowd. There’s a timelessness to this film & the way it deconstructs the relationship between slasher villain & the final girl. All the jokes still land. Can’t wait for the sequel!

Seated for a most excellent slasher film

Goddamnit
