‘The Conjuring Universe’ Will Never Die: Prequels, Spin-offs, and Release Dates Revealed

If you honestly believed The Conjuring: Last Rites was going to wrap up the franchise for good, you must be new to horror. Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema aren’t about to let their multibillion-dollar cash cow rest in peace. Instead, they are actively conjuring up a whole new era of supernatural hauntings, calendar shuffles, and corporate line-blurring. The Warrens Return, But Aren’t the Stars We Know First up on the docket is a trip down memory lane. A prequel, titled The Conjuring: First Communion, is officially set to haunt theaters on September 10, 2027. The film has just locked down its leads. Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix have been cast to play the wide-eyed, youthful versions of our favorite demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Presumably, the film will explore how the two fell in love while dealing with localized property devaluation via poltergeists. If that isn’t enough to fill your spooky cup, a companion streaming series set within the

Shark Thriller ‘CHUM’ is Swimming onto Digital

If you thought the most agonizing part of a destination wedding was the price of a plane ticket. Well, Independent Film Company is here to offer some brutal perspective with CHUM. The survival thriller CHUM has now announced its UK release for August 17, 2026. It is a sun-drenched nightmare in which “something blue” refers entirely to the blood-soaked depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Till Death Do Us Part Imagine a pristine, high-end destination wedding on the breathtaking coast of Malta. The champagne is flowing. Vows are being eagerly exchanged, and the newlyweds are trying to put on a happy face. Then, a massive, bloodthirsty shark crashes the post-nuptial festivities. As if avoiding an apex predator in open water wasn’t bad enough, the wedding party is “rescued” by Roy (Jim Klock), a deeply unhinged local fisherman. Roy isn’t interested in being a Good Samaritan. He’s a psychopathic vigilante who has decided the wedding party makes for excellent live bait to

Home Invasion Meets Body Horror: Lionsgate Unveils First Trailer for ‘Turning Point’

Home invasion movies usually follow a pretty standard script: bad guys break in, innocent family fights back, chaos ensues. But Lionsgate’s upcoming horror-thriller Turning Point is ready to completely flip the genre on its head by asking a much worse question: What if the house you just broke into belongs to a flesh-eating monster? Written and directed by Joshua Wagner (Mimesis), the film has earned an R rating for “violent content, gore, language, and some drug use.” A Home Invasion Gone Very Wrong The nightmare centers on Margot and her partner in crime, a duo of thieves looking for a quick, easy score. Unfortunately for them, they are entirely oblivious to the baseline rules of horror cinema. The two break into a seemingly normal residence. However, they quickly realize they are trapped inside a zombie’s home mid-transition. With the exits blocked and their mutating host rapidly losing his humanity, the criminals become the prey. Their only prayer for survival relies

Star Cameron Bell Talks ‘Pinocchio: Unstrung’ in Our Interview

Fresh off its screening at Raindance Film Festival—where it casually bagged four major nominations—the latest nightmare from the Twisted Childhood Universe is gearing up to splinter its way into your local cinema. Pinocchio: Unstrung takes the classic fairy tale, douses it in gasoline, and sparks a deliciously dark fire. The story sees Geppetto, played by the legendary Richard Brake (interview), as he gives his grandson, James, a handcrafted wooden doll. Naturally, the kid possesses absolutely zero horror-movie survival instincts and immediately introduces his new wooden bestie to the real world. This innocent show-and-tell triggers a catastrophic domino effect. Pinocchio has a violent moral code. The absolute best way to be a “good boy” is to brutally eliminate anyone he deems “bad”. A Dream Team of Horror Royalty However, to ensure you never sleep soundly again, the filmmakers pulled off a stroke of twisted casting genius by recruiting horror royalty Robert Englund to voice a demonic, insectoid conscience—yes, a nightmare-fueled Jiminy

Black Madala Unveils the Trailer for the Folk Horror ‘The Shug’

Get ready for some deep-rooted, atmospheric dread, because the British countryside is about to get a whole lot meaner. Genre powerhouse Black Mandala has officially unveiled The Shug, an award-winning, haunting new folk-horror film from director Martin J. Pickering (The Only One). Blending supernatural terror with grounded emotional realism, the movie plunges viewers into a chilling modern mythos set against the fractured, bleak landscape of post-Brexit Britain. The most unsettling part? It’s not entirely fiction. The project draws its inspiration from alleged real-life sightings and a recorded interview with a woman who claims to have encountered the legendary “Shug Monkey”—a bizarre cryptid fixture of English folklore. Cryptids, Coors, and Deeply Buried Trauma The Shug delivers on the monster front. However, it uses its creature feature elements to dig into heavy thematic territory, exploring alcoholism, generational trauma, and family breakdown. The film stars Nicholas Clarke, Alice Henley, Mae Sutton, and Dean Kilby. Jack Armstrong, Jason Hall, and Funso Foluso-Henry round out
