What Do Horror and Bingo Have in Common?

This might seem like an odd question, but it has been something I’ve been thinking about recently when it comes to how different media evolves. Horror is as old as time, where the arrival of mass media allowed it to flourish like never before. Bingo, while not as old as the concept of horror, has similarly succeeded by evolving.

Adapting to Modern Technology In the most contemporary sense, the most obvious changes to horror and bingo have come from how they leverage technology. In the horror scene, this has been illustrated recently by the arrival of VR gaming. Horror has long leaned on the ability to draw people into horrific worlds, but with VR, a person can be placed directly within a horrific landscape. An experience too terrifying for some to be pleasurable, this step illustrates how

It’s been a minute since we’ve had an update on Jordan Peele’s upcoming, still untitled, movie.

New Trailer Is Found For The True Story Inspired Horror ‘The Widow’

Scream Factory’s soon to be released found-footage horror The Widow gives off a serious Blair Witch (2016) vibe in its new trailer. The true story-inspired film is set “in a densely forested area north of St. Petersburg, people have been going missing for three decades. Very few corpses were ever found, and the few that were recovered were naked. On October 14, 2017, a team of volunteers went out into the woods in search of a missing teenager. Soon, all communication with them was lost. Locals believe they were taken by the same dark spirit that took the others … they call it the Limping Widow. Based on true accounts from the region, this gripping film is a white-knuckle ride from beginning to end!” Directed by Svyatoslav Podgaevsky (Baba Yaga: Terror of the Dark Forest), this horrifying tale was written by Ivan Minin, Ivan Kapitonov, Natalia Dubovaia, and Svyatoslav Podgaevsky. The Widow lands on VOD and Digital, as well as
