Happy (almost) December, everyone! While the holidays may be underway, that doesn’t mean horror is taking a break, as we have a lot of great genre movies headed to VOD, Digital, and On Demand over the next few weeks. Things kick off tomorrow with The Last Matinee on Arrow (this writer enjoyed it immensely) and throughout December, films like Dune (2021), Antlers, and Halloween Kills (with extra footage) will be headed to the small screen along with a ton of indie horror, including Silent Night, The Advent Calendar, Agnes, Benedetta from Paul Verhoeven, and Red Snow. Also, Joe Bob and Darcy return to Shudder on December 17th for an all-new holiday special.
Happy Streaming and Happy Holidays!

A lot of people frame Donald Trump’s rise to power in terms of a division between traditionalist and progressive Americans, the latter including minorities and those inclined to defend their rights. What it did, however, was to point up another division within the latter community. To some people – predominantly those who were white and reasonably well off – the existence of all the hatred and resentment which emerged into full public view was astonishing. To others, what was astonishing was that they hadn’t known it was there all along.
Horror is a genre which frequently deals with gaslighting, with a character who is well aware that something serious is wrong but is dismissed and treated as crazy by those around them. Often this character is a woman or child, reflecting social biases about credibility. In Red Pill, director Tonya Pinkins emphasises that such biases also exist in relation to race.
