Don’t Trust the Ranger: Psychological Thriller ‘Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead’ Is Out Now

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that celebrating your birthday deep in the woods is basically an open invitation to be hunted. Lionsgate’s new psychological thriller, Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead, is here to prove that rule once again—and it is officially available today On Demand and Digital. Directed by Mike Stahl, the film serves up an intense cocktail of psychological mind games, survival cardio, and a stark reminder to never, ever trust the local park staff.

Blumhouse’s 'Something Is Killing the Children' Adaptation Is Actually Making Progress (Yes, Really)

Blumhouse’s ‘Something Is Killing the Children’ Adaptation Is Actually Making Progress (Yes, Really)

It looks like Blumhouse’s long-gestating adaptation of Something Is Killing the Children is finally catching some real momentum. Dread Central reports that during a signing and Q&A on Trinity Comics’ Whatnot stream, series co-creator James Tynion IV dropped the meatiest update fans have gotten since Blumhouse snatched up the rights to the horror mega-hit. The big news? There is an officially completed screenplay for the live-action feature film. So, what’s the hold-up? Tynion revealed that the creative team is holding off on pitching until they lock down the series bible for the companion adult animated show. The game plan is to package both the live-action movie and the animated series together. While the ideal scenario is finding a buyer hungry for both, Tynion noted that if a studio only wants to sink its teeth into the live-action film, they’ll happily shop the animated series elsewhere. This strategy tracks with Blumhouse’s original promise to tackle Tynion and Werther Dell’Edera’s universe from

Cursed Tapes and Unspeakable Dread: Watch Bruce Wemple’s 'Capture' Now

Cursed Tapes and Unspeakable Dread: Watch Bruce Wemple’s ‘Capture’ Now

Independent horror thrives when it trades massive CGI budgets for pure, suffocating atmosphere. Director Bruce Wemple’s latest feature, Capture, looks to do just that—delivering a chilling, low-tech nightmare. One centered around an isolated estate and a deeply cursed piece of video gear. A Cursed Inheritance The core story follows Abby (Kaitlyn Lunardi), a chaotic, struggling young woman who grew up in the foster system alongside her close foster brother, Steve. In dire need of cash to turn her life around, Abby receives a shock: she’s inherited an isolated upstate property that once belonged to the biological parents she never knew. Her goal is simple—do a quick walkthrough, list the house for immediate sale, and take the money. The locals, however, have a very different plan for her: leave town immediately. As Abby quickly discovers, the property holds a ghastly reputation in the area. Decades ago, her biological mother, Cameron, allegedly practiced dark magic and was connected to the tragic deaths

‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Is Getting a Rotoscoped New Film

More than 50 years after forever altering the face of horror, Tobe Hooper’s 1974 masterpiece is taking on a terrifying new form. Dark Sky Films and Exurbia Films have officially announced that a feature-length, hand-animated rotoscoped reimagining of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is currently in production—targeting a theatrical debut in 2027. However, in an era dominated by software, the team is taking a firm, proud stand. Zero A.I. is being used. Every single frame is being drawn, traced, and textured purely by human hands. The Mastermind Behind the Ink The groundbreaking project is helmed by Animation & Art Director Paul Beck, an Austin-based artist who helped pioneer modern rotoscoping alongside director Richard Linklater. Beck’s impressive animation pedigree includes serving as a lead animator on acclaimed rotoscoped works such as Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, and Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood. “The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a masterpiece that changed cinema forever,” says Beck. “Our goal is
