I think itโs safe to assume that anyone reading this article right now knows that Iโm constantly scouring the edges of bargain bins, the corners of the internet, and the never-ending depths of streaming services to introduce readers to films outside of the mainstream that theyโve likely never been introduced to. Halloween is always a…

There will be no authorโs note this time. When I say I havenโt interacted with UFOTwitter in over a week I mean it! Iโve been so insanely busy and havenโt spent much time doom scrolling through multiple arguments and threads. I did spend about $250 at Arrow Video, though. If that means anything.ย Anyway, letโs…

Friday 18 October, day two of the marvelous Mayhem Film Festival, had a “crimey” thread running through it; well at least until we get to the final film, which was distinctly horror.

Whether youโre a longtime horror veteran or you just like to dip your toes in the genre every once in a while, Iโm sure youโve seen at least one film where a priest saves a helpless victim from a malicious demon. Ever since The Exorcist, exorcism, and specifically Catholic exorcism, has been a staple of…

Before we get into this weekโs episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, I wanted to bring up something that came to light around the morning of October 13th. Users across TikTok reported something odd over the skies of Washington D.C., Virginia, and North Carolina. It should be noted that this story seemingly doesnโt have…

Stalkers just might be the scariest monsters in all of horror cinema. The idea of someone being so obsessed with you that they start to intrude on your personal life is pretty terrifying, so itโs no surprise that filmmakers keep going back to this well. Films like Someone’s Watching Me!, The Invisible Man (the remake),…

The Huluween season is alive and well, with the streamerโs third dose of original horror titles just in time for Halloween—and Jack OโLantern season. Plucking Justin Hardingโs 2018 short film Carved from the Pumpkin Patch, Hulu keeps with their trend of turning short film concepts into feature-length narratives, as they did with the recent Mr.…
