Last year, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Long Walk (which was, like The Running Man and Thinner, published under the pen name Richard Bachman) went into production, with director Francis Lawrence, whose previous credits include Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Parts 1 and 2, Red Sparrow, Slumberland, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, at the helm. Now, Lawrence has confirmed to the folks at Collider that post-production work on the film is almost complete, and he’s “super happy” with it.
An adaptation of The Long Walk has been trudging through development hell for decades. At one point, the rights were in the hands of Frank Darabont, who made the King adaptations The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist. Then the rights passed over to New Line Cinema, where Scary Stories to...

Exclusive: Bill Kaulitz has swapped the concert stage for the big screen by landing his first film role.
The Tokio Hotel frontman, whose band is among Germany’s most successful music acts, has landed a role in Brute 1986, an indie pic inspired by 1980s slasher movies.
In the film, Leather Kobra, a Sunset Strip-style glam metal band films a music video in an abandoned Western town in the middle of nowhere. Ignoring ‘no trespassing’ signs, the rebellious group have no idea they are being watched by the Birdy family, who will meet them with a “level of brutality that is as vicious as it is creative,” according to producers.
Starring alongside Kaulitz are Gigi Gustin (Stiletto), Sarah French (Blind), Pancho Moler (3 From Hell), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Heather Grace Hancock (Wicked City) and Dazelle Yvette (Garden of Eden).

What Martin Scorsese is for New York; what Paul Thomas Anderson is for Los Angeles; Yasujiro Ozu is for Tokyo and Federico Fellini is for Rome, so Tom Tykwer is for Berlin.
Tykwer has only made three films set in the German capital — his 1998 breakout Run Lola Run, the mid-career highlight 3 (2010) and now The Light, the opening film of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival — but no other director so exemplifies the city, in all its messy glory and contradictions.
“I’ve spent nearly 40 years in Berlin, and everything I need is here,” says Tykwer from his apartment in Prenzlauer Berg. “I have the people I love, the cinemas I need, and the city’s strange aesthetic — these beautiful districts next to catastrophically ugly architecture. It’s what delights and infuriates and inspires me.”
The Light is also Tykwer’s third Berlinale opening-night film, following Heaven (2002) and The International (2009) and...

When it comes to slasher films, the iconography of the killer is often more important than the story. As long as fans are being given the chance to watch Michael Myers show up in his white-painted Captain Kirk finest to slaughter anyone who gets in his way, no one cares about trying to make sense of the the nonsensical and convoluted timeline of the "Halloween" franchise. Even people who have never watched a horror movie in their life could probably identify Jason Voorhees from "Friday the 13th" in his iconic hockey mask, or clock Leatherface from "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" even without his titular weapon. The look of a slasher villain should strike fear into the hearts of the audience ... but it should also be memorable enough to be marketable.

What do you get when you mix Nora Ephron with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers? The combination might seem antithetical, but it works scarily well in director Josh Ruben‘s sweet, funny, terrifying rom-com/slasher movie mash-up, “Heart Eyes.”
Working from an inventive script by Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, and Michael Kennedy, Ruben somehow deftly satisfies fans of both “Sleepless in Seattle” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” An iconic new horror villain is born in the form of the movie’s Heart Eyes Killer, a slasher who stalks young lovers each Valentine’s Day.
Ruben, as he explained to IndieWire, wanted the movie’s two sides to be equally strong so that the horror would deepen the romance made all the more terrifying because of our investment in the two young lovers (Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding) fleeing from the Heart Eyes Killer. In studying films of both genres,...

I was a film studies student before I ever thought about writing a memoir, so it made sense that my first book would center a deep engagement with the movies as I told a story about my own life. My memoir The Long Hallway is a coming-out and coming-of-age story told through the lens of my childhood obsession with John Carpenter’s classic horror film Halloween, specifically the masked character of Michael Myers as an embodiment of my closeted and—at least to my mind at the time—dangerous and insidious self.
I shared early drafts with film scholar and essayist Doug Dibbern, a friend and colleague whose memoir was also published around the same time as mine. Alone in the Dark: Cinephilia and the Heroic Imagination traces a lineage of film viewing alongside a genealogical and intellectual origin story in what becomes a moving portrait of the development of an aesthetic sensibility.

He may be plotting another Alien film, but Fede Álvarez is hoping to make a classic slasher movie too. More on his comments below.
Director Fede Álvarez is currently doing the awards rounds in Hollywood with Alien: Romulus, the successful new entry into the decades old sci-fi horror franchise. Another instalment has already been confirmed and Álvarez has previously teased where it might go.
Talking to Collider at the Saturn Awards, Álvarez confessed there’s something else that is tickling his fancy when it comes to making more horror films.
“On the horror side I would love to do a good old slasher. I haven’t done that really. I mean I have possession movies with Evil Dead, sci-fi horror. A kind of classic slasher,” the director said.
As with Alien: Romulus, Evil Dead, Álvarez’s 2013 reboot/sequel to Sam Raimi’s classic 1981 feature saw the filmmaker dip his toes...

The horror genre has given audiences all kinds of different scares and shivers over the years. According to Metacritic, however, one particular pulse-pounder still hits the sweet spot of scaring the heck out of us several decades after its initial release. Needless to say, it also made /Film's rundown of the best horror movies of all time.
The aggregator website's own top 10 horror films list is a great collection of true classics, with the most recent entry being John Carpenter's trail-blazing 1978 slasher "Halloween." Nevertheless, there's one horror film that towers above the likes of 1931's "Frankenstein," the 1956 sci-fi horror gem "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," and even the masterful 1968 horror drama "Rosemary's Baby" -- namely, the Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece and benchmark in terror that is "Psycho."
Released in 1960, "Psycho" might not be generally considered the best Hitchcock movie, but it's certainly one of his most beloved and well-known bits of work.

We’ve discussed John Carpenter on this channel as much or more than nearly any other director. Some of his movies, like The Thing, have gotten a different type of show appreciation via discussions on its behind the scenes in a Wtf, a comparison with its novella source material, and a look at what its legacy is in a Deconstructing video, amongst a few others. Looking at his catalogue, there is a wealth of stuff that is firmly in the horror realm from Christine to In the Mouth of Madness, Prince of Darkness to Halloween. While he has some movies that are outside that wheelhouse like the western homage Assault on Precinct 13 or Academy Award winning sci-fi drama Starman, Escape from New York is something special. In addition to being one of my favorite films of all time, full stop, it’s also sneaky in its ability to horrify. While...

Take what you know about Oz Perkins' filmmaking and set those signatures ablaze. The Monkey is unlike anything Perkins has helmed thus far (complimentary). It's morbidly hilarious, high-energy, and smothered in an avalanche of gore. Perkins' adaptation of Stephen King's short story (included in Skeleton Crew) is a comically bleak confrontation of Death that notches spectacular kill scenes at a brisk clip. Imagine a Twilight Zone episode influenced by Final Destination and an 80s-sized mountain of cocaine — that's The Monkey. I would never have guessed Perkins had this midnighter mentality in his arsenal, holstering his penchant for slow-burn thrills and lingering, whispering dread.

By 1980, John Carpenter was already a name to watch in the horror world. Halloween (1978) had shattered expectations, proving that a low-budget slasher could become a box office behemoth. Carpenter was the kind of filmmaker who made Hollywood nervous – he worked fast, with limited resources, and still managed to terrify audiences in ways big studios couldn’t replicate. So, when his next horror film, The Fog, was announced, expectations were sky-high.
But The Fog wasn’t just another slasher. It was an eerie ghost story, heavily inspired by classic horror tales and seafaring folklore. Set in the sleepy coastal town of Antonio Bay, the film follows a group of residents—including a radio DJ (Adrienne Barbeau), a hitchhiker (Jamie Lee Curtis), and the town’s mayor (Janet Leigh)—as they uncover a dark secret: their town’s founders had betrayed and murdered a group of lepers a century earlier. Now, a ghostly mist has rolled in,...

The best part about watching movies is probably the easter eggs hidden in plain sight. For comedy genius Adam Sandler, the easter egg is none other than his wife, Jackie Sandler. (née Titone). The couple tied the knot all the way back in 2003 and have two beautiful daughters together, Sadie and Sunny. Adam Sandler’s family members have made many cameos in his films. For example, his daughters played a role in the Hotel Transylvania franchise. However, it is Jackie Sandler who takes the cake here!

Although the genre has been booming within the past decade, “elevated horror” has failed to craft any memorable slasher icons that could feasibly stand alongside Michael Myers of “Halloween,” Freddie Krueger of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” or Leatherface of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” That’s not to say that there have not been successful horror franchises, as sagas like “Insidious” and “The Conjuring” have been successful in retaining their quality. It’s perhaps the drive for more seriously minded horror films in the vein of “Get Out” or “Hereditary” that has made the slasher subgenre feel less relevant; there’s only so much social satire that can be pulled off in a story about a masked serial killer mowing down innocent people.

The cultural standing of horror movies has changed over the years, though it remains one of the most controversial genres. During the 1970s, when gory slashers first burst on the scene, many saw the genre as pure schlock, or even worse, something sinister and immoral. In the 2010s, the perception of horror changed with the advent of the "elevated horror" genre and the success of A24's slate of sleek, supposedly more intellectual horror movies.
And yet, horror still isn't widely recognized as a prestigious or award-worthy genre. Horror actors rarely get nominated for big awards in these films, with Demi Moore's surprising Golden Globe win for the nauseating body horror movie "The Substance" proving an exception to that rule. That's probably why, when you think of beloved or respected Hollywood actors, horror usually isn't the first genre that comes to mind, but maybe it should be.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lost Themes, the trio is releasing an expanded edition of the album,...

The horror genre is well-regarded in cinema as the closest thing to a guaranteed money-maker there is, at least where non-ip is concerned. Horror movies in general have a built-in fan base who are always willing (if not eager) to go check out the latest supernatural thriller, throwback slasher, zombie flick, or whatever other scares are in store. However, one of the other staples of the genre is its thriftiness — you don't need a huge budget to make an effective and successful horror movie, and that in turn makes it more possible for the movie to be successful at the box office. Although most horror movies turn a healthy profit, you don't tend to see too many reaching the same lofty financial heights as the average multi-million dollar blockbuster.
The closest horror movies come to earning billions of dollars is when they're part of a successful franchise, and sometimes not even then.

Everyone loves a good villain. Without scenery-chewing, dastardly antagonists for our heroes to fight, things just aren't much fun. Sometimes villains become cultural icons in their own right, like Michael Meyers from the "Halloween" movies or even Jeremy Irons as Scar in "The Lion King." Of course, one of the greatest villains of them all is Hannibal Lecter. Created by author Thomas Harris, "Hannibal the Cannibal" was the baddie in the novels "Red Dragon" in 1981, "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1988, "Hannibal" in 1999, and "Hannibal Rising" in 2006, and his well-mannered eccentricity and fierce bloodlust makes him as alluring as he is terrifying. These books have since been adapted into several Hannibal Lecter movies and an NBC television series, with four different actors having portrayed the aristocratic Lithuanian serial killer, each with their own unique spin.
But who did it best? No one person cast as the clever cannibal was ever truly bad in the role,...

In 2025, the Halloweenies are celebrating the storied legacy of the Universal Monsters. Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein, his Bride, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Invisible Man… all will be covered. In fact, each monster is getting their own month, giving the Halloweenies plenty of time to dig deep into their respective origins and chart their influence over the past century and some change.
This month sees the gang in Transylvania, where they’ve already shared their favorite vampire films, reviewed Robert Eggers‘ reimagining of Nosferatu, and talked all over Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino‘s From Dusk til Dawn. Today is the main event, though, as the Halloweenies offer their signature historical analysis to Tod Browning‘s 1931 Dracula.
Topics include: Browning’s strange and wonderful career, the U.S. in early 30’s (spoiler: not great!), vampire history and lore, early days of Universal and talkies, the 21-year-old nepo baby founder of the Universal Monsters,...

Made popular beginning in the 1970s with films including Black Christmas and Halloween, and then taken to the next level throughout the 1980s, the holiday slasher has long been a staple of the sub-genre, with pretty much every major (and even minor) holiday getting its own slasher over the years. Valentine’s Day is no exception, with 1981’s My Bloody Valentine standing tall all these years as the definitive Valentine’s Day slasher movie. But we’ve got a new contender vying for the throne this year, with Heart Eyes slashing into theaters soon.
The filmmakers behind Freaky, Happy Death Day and Werewolves Within join forces for Heart Eyes, coming to theaters on February 7, 2025. Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within, Scare Me) directed the Valentine’s Day-themed Heart Eyes, with Mason Gooding (Scream) and Olivia Holt (“Cruel Summer”) leading the cast of the rated “R” slasher gore-fest.

While the cinematic and televised realms of Stephen King are both old hat and as constant and unchanging as death and taxes now, it wasn’t always this way. Sure, he had movies hitting the theater pretty consistently all through the late 70s through, well, still today, but TV was a different story altogether. Salem’s Lot came out in 1979, and it was a big hit in both viewership numbers and critical appraisal but that was it for a while. We would even get that strange and wonderful Larry Cohen sequel to Salem’s Lot before we would get another King TV series. Once It hit screens over a weekend though, the flood gates would be opened with The Tommyknockers, The Stand, The Langoliers, and many other including actual TV shows. It would remain incredibly popular and fond in our memories but is It any good 35 years later or is It just...

This post contains spoilers for "Star Trek: Section 31."
The Jamie Lee Curtis Renaissance continues. After winning an Oscar for her role in "Everything Everywhere All At Once" and wrapping up the new "Halloween" trilogy, Curtis has used her renewed status in surprising and largely delightful ways. She's back in the spotlight for her work in "The Last Showgirl" in 2024, but Curtis has also become a certifiable cameo queen. Her surprise appearance in "The Bear" season 2, where she played unstable Berzatto matriarch Donna, won her an Emmy, and she also lent her voice to a Cardi B and Offset music video in 2023. Now, she's back in an unannounced role again -- and this time, she's making her "Star Trek" debut.
To catch Curtis in full exasperated space boss mode, you'll need to tune into "Star Trek: Section 31," the first feature film of the Paramount+ era of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic,...

There’s a scene in Questlove and co-director Oz Rodriguez’s “Ladies and Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music” (which airs January 27 on NBC) that has, as far as we know, the only cultural intersection of Eddie Murphy and John Belushi appearing on screen together. Ever. It’s 1981 and former cast member John Belushi pulled some strings to get the punk rock band Fear booked as musical guests on Halloween alongside host Donald Pleasance. Much has been made about Fear’s controversial performance over the years. And, in reality, the massive wave of destruction to hit 30 Rock that night wasn’t much more than a few kids slam dancing on the stage. Two of those “kids” being Belushi — who is in full slam dancing mode and is hard to spot, but we know he’s there – and another being Murphy, who climbs up on the back of the stage mostly...

"Diversity Day" is a season 1 episode of the US The Office, and its provocative plot has led some to wonder if it was purposefully pulled from syndication. The first season of The Office was a strange one with showrunner Greg Daniels still trying to feel out how to make his version stand out from the beloved British version. While the first episode of the series was nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the British pilot, the rest of the five episodes of season 1 were original scripts, though they retained a lot of the characterizations of the original show.
While Michael Scott (Steve Carell) has always been a cringe machine, in season one, he had all of Carrell's awkwardness combined with David Brent's (Ricky Gervais) unlikeability and rudeness.

A surprisingly strong contender for the most lethal horror movie monster has a shockingly high kill count. Thanks to their enduring nature and lethal tactics, many of the horror genre's most famous villains have earned dozens of kills over the course of their respective series. Characters like Michael Meyers keep pushing the limits of the past, with the kill counts in films like Halloween Kills pushing the characters to new horrifying heights.
The long-running nature and supernatural qualities of some of these characters explain how they're able to amass such high body counts. The most iconic villains in the genre have amassed plenty of kills in various horror films, reboots, and remakes, with franchises like Halloween or Friday the 13th amassing plenty across decades. However, there's a surprisingly strong contender for the highest kill-count in the genre, even when limited to on-screen kills and ignoring the original franchise that inspired it.

She gained fame as a “scream queen” over 40 years ago, but in the four decades since has proven her versatility in a range of genres. Award-winning activist, author and daughter of two film icons, Jamie Lee Curtis has built an impressive resume over several mediums. And 2022 was an especially wonderful year for her with an acclaimed performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” that brought her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Curtis was born in Santa Monica on November 22, 1958 to actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. After finishing school, she briefly pursued an education in law, but decided to follow in her parents’ footsteps instead. In 1977, she was given a small role in an episode of “Quincy M.E.,” followed by several more small parts and a role in the short-lived “Operation Petticoat,” based on the film which had starred her father. Then she received a part in a low-budget...

‘Scream 7’ is one of the most highly awaited upcoming horrors. The movie had a difficult production so far. The movie was reworked after directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett left in August 2023, followed by the departure of stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega in November.
Neve Campbell confirmed her return to the franchise in March 2024 after missing ‘Scream VI.’ Kevin Williamson, a writer and producer from the early ‘Scream’ films, was brought on as director.
The plot is still a secret, but Neve Campbell revealed the new movie will focus on Sidney and her family, shifting back from the Carpenter sisters seen in ‘Scream’ released in 2022 and ‘Scream 6’ released in 2023.
“We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell told ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ likening the story to the recent ‘Halloween’ sequels with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie Strode decades later. “They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s...

9-1-1 is known for its high-octane civilian rescues, but the first-responder drama isn’t afraid to put its own characters in danger. Since its pilot season in 2018, the procedural following fire (Lafd), police (LAPD), and dispatch (Ladc) has put nearly all of its main cast into peril. Due to the very nature of the series, it's no surprise that so many of them have had more than their fair share of close calls over the years.
While a lucky few have gone relatively unscathed thus far, most characters have had at least one near-death experience, with some even having to endure multiple dire situations. Still, there’s no telling when or how disaster will strike; no character is totally safe. The potentially fatal situations in 9-1-1 are so iconic that 9-1-1’s second spinoff needs to think about the threats its characters will face as much as the characters themselves.

Jamie Lee Curtis has revisted her aerobics routine from the 1985 film Perfect. The iconic movie moment saw her play Jessie, a fitness instructor who becomes involved with Los Angeles reporter Adam, portrayed by John Travolta, when he sets out to write a story about gym culture. The movie, written and directed by James Bridges, became infamous for its high-energy aerobics scenes, which captured the fitness craze of the '80s.
Curtis appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to recreate her character's iconic aerobics scene, complete with exaggerated movements. Her routine took on a new humorous perspective with the added bonus of comedic gags, such as a pizza delivery, a surgery, and a champagne tower pour. Fallon took Travolta's place in this revived take, adding to the silliness of the parody. Check out the video below:

Both Marvel and DC should take notice of one of Hollywood’s most effective trends and produce legacy sequels for some classic superhero movies. Legacy sequels have breathed new life into dormant franchises, particularly in the horror genre. With the multiverse now firmly established in superhero cinema, the potential to bring back classic superhero franchises is tantalizing. Whether it’s reuniting iconic casts, expanding beloved narratives, or giving underrated films their due, these legacy sequels could excite both audiences and filmmakers alike.
The concept of a legacy sequel - a continuation of a beloved story decades later, sometimes omitting certain sequels - has proven successful for franchises like Halloween and Top Gun: Maverick. These sequels combine nostalgia with modern storytelling, rekindling interest in franchises while introducing them to new audiences. Superhero films, already deeply rooted in the multiverse concept, are perfectly poised to capitalize on this trend by returning to...

In hindsight, 1978's "Halloween" was always destined to have a sequel. Co-writer/director John Carpenter and co-writer/producer Debra Hill even included a particularly prophetic line of dialogue in their tale of a supernaturally-charged maniac, Michael Myers, terrorizing his hometown on Halloween night: "You can't kill the bogeyman." Thanks to the film's massive success critically, commercially, and culturally, "Halloween II" was practically a given.
While "Halloween" concludes with the assertion that Myers has indeed not yet been killed, a trickier question for Carpenter and Hill concerned what to do with the other surviving supporting characters. Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) was established as the Van Helsing to Myers' Dracula, so his return was fairly natural. A bigger issue revolved around bringing back star Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, the babysitter who unfortunately crosses Myers' path and becomes the focus of his All Hallows' Eve rampage.

After watching the scene in “The Substance” where Elisabeth Sparkle, played by Demi Moore, repeatedly applies and wipes off lipstick in front of a mirror — a chilling metaphor for identity, erasure and self-loathing — I couldn’t have imagined that critics and awards voters would embrace it. Yet here we are, with Moore emerging as a frontrunner in the Oscar race for her career-defining performance in Coralie Fargeat’s provocative body horror film. Her Golden Globes win Sunday not only cements Moore’s legacy but also shines a long-overdue spotlight on horror as a genre worthy of awards season acclaim.
At 62, Moore is on the verge of earning her first-ever Oscar nomination for best actress. Her haunting and multilayered portrayal of an aging star who takes a mysterious serum to regain her youth — only for the experiment to spiral into a surreal nightmare — has been hailed as a masterclass in physical and emotional transformation.
