With Easter weekend less than a month away, Sony announced today that it will be opening the Evan Spiliotopoulos’ Screen Gems supernatural PG-13 horror movie The Unholy on April 2.
The feature based on the James Herbert novel Shrine joins Warner Bros/Legendary’s theatrical release of Godzilla vs. Kong which is opening on Wednesday, March 31 (and also hitting HBO Max simultaneously) as the big wide releases for the holiday weekend. That period has traditionally been a robust time at the B.O. given how the frame coincides with spring break. During great pre-pandemic box office times, Warner Bros’ Batman v. Superman is the record B.O. opener for Easter weekend with $181M domestic, while Universal’s Furious 7 is second with $161.2M. There’s great hope in the industry that Los Angeles might have the go-ahead to reopen cinemas by Easter weekend. This past weekend, New York City reopened its...

Lionsgate UK have announced three more cult classics joining their Vestron Collector’s Series. Originally released by Vestron Video, these classic horror and sci-fi titles are restored and remastered on Blu-ray and packed with hours of special features – all three hit UK stores on February 25th 2019.
Class Of 1999 (1990)
The time is the future, and youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become “free fire zones” into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford (Malcolm McDowell), the principal of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest (Stacy Keach) provides “tactical education units”. Human-like androids have been programmed to teach and are supplied with weapons to handle discipline problems. These kids will get a lesson in staying alive!
Special Features: Audio commentary with producer/director Mark L. Lester ‘School Safety’ – interviews with director/producer Mark L.

The late ’80s provided a veritable potpourri for horror film fanatics. Slashers had petered out, and filmmakers were keen on exploring other avenues, everything from a parasitic drug slug (Brain Damage) to possession (The Unholy), and all points in-between. Of course, mileage may vary, and many have fallen through the cracks or are best forgotten. Possibly one of the oddest of the bunch is Anthony Hickox’s Waxwork (1988), a goofball mixture of Hammer and Amicus brought kicking and screaming into the modern era with a touch o’ teen comedy sensibility. And in horror, odd never hurts—and sometimes it even helps create an unassuming delight such as this.
Produced and distributed by Vestron Pictures, who scored big the previous year with the terrifying Dirty Dancing, Waxwork was given a limited release in June in the Us and the rest of the world the following year. Made for $1,500,000, it only returned $800,000 domestically.

In the 1980's, Freddy, Jason and Michael slashed their way through the horror scene to rule supreme. However, we feel it is our civic duty at HorrorBid to introduce our Bidites young and old to some lesser known 80's horror fare they may not be familiar with. The easiest way to do this is by taking some of the best known 80's horror cliches and briefly reviewing the movies that fall under these categories...
"The Prank Gone Horribly Wrong/Victim Gets Revenge" Films:
This plot device was a staple of many 80's horror films. It is an extremely simple concept: a group of teenage bullies (who are really portrayed by 20-30 year olds) torment and humiliate the nerd or unpopular kid. The most famous example of this is "Carrie". However, there are a few lesser known 80's titles that deal with this same issue:
"Slaughter High", from 1986, has become something...
