Slayground’s Trailer Looks Like an Extreme Haunt Ad, but It’s Actually Jeremy Saulnier’s Next Film
Jeremy Saulnier wrote and directed Slayground, which is a “fugitive thriller” set during Halloween. Previously titled October, the title now refers to the haunted attraction within the story rather than the time period its set within. When I saw the trailer while sitting in the theater waiting for Resident Evil to begin, I truly thought…

What Became of Lizzie Borden After Her Murder Trial?
Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story ends by offering a dramatized answer to who killed Andrew and Abby Borden. The historical record leaves that question unresolved.

Stephen King Called This One of the Best Horror Novels Ever Written. Most People Have Never Heard of It
Ask a horror fan to name the scariest haunted house novels of all time, and you’ll almost certainly hear The Haunting of Hill House or The Shining. Rarely will you hear The House Next Door, Anne Rivers Siddons’ 1978 novel that Stephen King himself singled out as one of the best genre novels of the…

Henry Winkler Played the Principal in ‘Scream,’ but the Studio Refused to Put His Name on the Movie’s Poster
Henry Winkler earned decades of goodwill playing the Fonz on “Happy Days,” but that beloved image nearly kept his name out of one of horror’s most famous slasher films. The studio behind the original “Scream” believed Winkler’s sitcom past would weaken the movie’s scares — even though audiences applauded when his character appeared during test…

Three Years After “Scream” Cut Her Over Gaza Posts, Melissa Barrera Says the Support for Macklemore Proves “Things Have Changed.”
Melissa Barrera got emotional watching Finneas, Aaron Rowe and other opening acts walk away from Ed Sheeran’s tour in support of Macklemore — because when she was fired from the “Scream” franchise in 2023 over posts criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza, no one did the same for her. “It was so beautiful to see Finneas…

Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Isn’t Trying to Please the Purists — And That’s Exactly Why It’s Working
Zach Cregger’s new “Resident Evil” is already making history, and it’s doing it by ignoring the rulebook that’s dogged video game movies for decades. Rather than delivering a scene-for-scene translation of Capcom’s games, Cregger — the writer-director behind horror hits “Barbarian” and last year’s “Weapons” — built an entirely new story around Bryan, a medical…

The Exorcist Was Based on a Real 1949 Exorcism Performed on a 14-Year-Old Maryland Boy
The 1973 film that made audiences afraid to sleep with the lights off didn’t spring entirely from William Peter Blatty’s imagination. Hollywood changed the child’s identity and moved the story to Georgetown, but the horror at the heart of The Exorcist still traces back to clergy treating one family’s claims seriously enough to conduct weeks…

Did the Maid Kill Lizzie Borden’s Father and Stepmother?
Bridget “Maggie” Sullivan was the only person besides Lizzie Borden known to be at the Borden home when Andrew and Abby Borden were killed on August 4, 1892. That fact has kept the family’s live-in maid at the center of an alternate theory about the still-unsolved Fall River murders. Abby was struck about 18 or…
