• Hungry Introduces Hippo Horror to the Bayou This June

    My grandma always used to tell me: “Never fuck with a hippo.” And on the strength of the trailer for Hungry, she might just’ve been right. Arriving June 23rd via Aura Entertainment, Hungry is a creature feature survival thriller that swaps your usual toothy suspects for something far worse: a bad-tempered river tank with legs.…

  • One Spoon of Chocolate Brings the Ruckus in New Red Band Trailer

    RZA is back behind the camera, bringing that old school Kung Fu and Exploitation vibe in his latest film, One Spoon of Chocolate, which lands in cinemas May 1st through 36 Cinema Distribution and Variance Films, with a red band trailer that makes its intentions very clear within seconds: this is going to get fucking…

  • Signo Rojo Bring the Noise With New Single: Growth

    Karlshamn’s long-running noise merchants Signo Rojo are set to return on April 17, 2026 with their new single Growth, released via Majestic Mountain Records. The track marks the band’s first new material in their current run and continues a trajectory they’ve been carving out of the Swedish underground for over fifteen years. Blending elements of…

  • Return to the Sabbat: Black Widow – The Greatest Occult Rock Omen You’ve Never Heard

    Gather around, my freaks and geeks, because we’ve spent enough time talking about flickering shadows, rubber masks, and final girls. It’s time we talked about the soundtrack to our collective nightmares. I’m bringing music to the Archives, and there was only one place we could possibly start.​ If you’re a regular here, you know I…

  • Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) – Shock Therapy for a Dead Franchise

    By the time 1988 rolled around, the Friday the 13th franchise was starting to look a bit like a heavyweight boxer who had taken one too many shots to the jaw. We’d seen Jason die, come back as a zombie, get replaced by a copycat, and get resurrected by a lightning bolt like a hockey-masked…

  • The Bride from Hell (1971): When Life Imitates Art

    To watch a Shaw Brothers film today is usually an exercise in nostalgia. A journey back to a time of vibrant colors, synchronized choreography, and operatic drama where everyone has perfect hair even after a sword fight. However, watching the 1971 classic The Bride from Hell feels markedly different. It is a film haunted not…

  • Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon (2006) – Horror’s Best Kept Secret

    If there is one hill I am prepared to die on, likely at the business end of a customized farm tool, it is this: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is the most criminally underrated horror movie in the history of the genre. It’s a masterpiece that takes the slasher rulebook, puts it…

  • The Guy With The Secret Kung Fu (1981): Enter The Plot Hole

    ​It’s in 4:3 ratio. It’s rougher than a badgers arsehole. It’s so badly edited that the plot doesn’t make any sense. The dubbing is laughable. And there are two of them, not one as the title suggests. Yet, I can’t help myself. I love this movie.​ Welcome back to the deep, dark depths of the…

  • The Big Boss: Ice, Blood, And The Birth Of A Legend

    Bruce Lee was the first ever tattoo I got on my body, which should be enough to tell you just how much I worship the man. It’s there on my upper right arm, a permanent reminder that while I’m sitting here typing this with a posture that would make a chiropractor weep, Bruce Lee was…

  • Halloween IV: The ‘We’re Sorry’ Movie

    If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the damp, flickering basement of the 80s, it’s that you can’t keep a good corporate mascot down. In the world of horror, death isn’t a finale; it’s a temporary inconvenience, a smoke break before the next shift starts. ​By 1988, the slasher genre was having a full-blown identity…
