Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, or simply Halloween 4, is a 1988 horror film and the fourth installment in the popular “Halloween” film series. It is also one of the films that reminded the 1980s that slasher villains still mattered, both culturally and in terms of raking in …

I vividly remember the first time I saw Return of the Living Dead III. Like many other sequels of its ilk, it appeared on the US video store shelf on October 29, 1993 seemingly out of nowhere, and I immediately rented it. It was a pretty lawless time for horror …

One-location horror is often the gateway to tension. When we see a beloved protagonist stranded in an enclosed space, it’s easy for us as an audience to relate to them. Even more so, it’s easy to feel like we’re in that space with them, claustrophobically immersed in every sound, corner, …

Like most people my age, I grew up watching the infinitely quotable Caddyshack. And its legacy as the quintessential golf comedy is still stronger than ever. So imagine my delight when I saw that there was a horror/comedy titled Caddy Hack being released. But, I thought with some trepidation, it …

Of all the categories of horror films, my heart will always belong to the found footage genre. Of those, I dearly love Stephen Cognetti’s Hell House LLC series, which follows mysterious and deadly events at the Abaddon Hotel in rural New York. After completing the trilogy in 2019, fans may …

Do dark forces walk the earth unseen, but ever present? According to Rachel Stavis, the only known female and non-denominational exorcist, the …

If you had to describe my childhood in one word, it would be “Goosebumps.” In school, I was labeled “The Goosebumps Kid,” which was nothing less than an honor to me (I mean, I could be called worse, right?). As an elementary school kid, I worked up an impressive collection …

George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968) is one of the most revered horror films of all time. It spawned no less than 5 sequels and influenced multiple generations of filmmakers and their films. It is adored by critics and audiences alike. The Library of Congress added the film to …

“True sorrow is as rare as true love.” That’s the sentiment that sums up this timeless tale of teenage tyranny and supernatural revenge from the mind of horror master, Stephen King. Many horror fans dismissed Carrie (2013) as a slick re-hash of Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation, but I’m here to …
