A new series is coming to Peacock that should be at the top of your “must-see” list: “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams!” The new six-episode series will explore terrifying true tales of terror that took place in seemingly perfect American hometowns. Each episode will delve into the monstrous evil that lurks beneath the surface of friendly suburbia through the lens of one frightful tale. In addition to firsthand accounts, the episodes will include cinematic reenactments, personal archives, and historic town press coverage. Ahead of its premiere, I sat down with the showrunner, director, and executive producer Jordan Roberts, known for his involvement in series like “Haunted.” Roberts directed the true-crime episode “A Killer Comes Home,” which tells of a serial killer who stalks a town. Here’s what Roberts had to say about “Suburban Screams” and what it took to tell the story of this killer. Be sure to watch “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams,” premiering on Friday, October 13th, 2023, a day

Halloween is nearly upon us, and you know what that means: it is time to put up decorations. You know what they say, “Go big or go home,” well, this spooky season, I’m going big, real big. I snagged one of HalloweenCostumes.com‘s new, exclusive, twenty-five-foot-tall Michael Myers inflatables. The inflatable has excellent details from the blood on his knife, shading in his hair and on his clothing, down to his fingers, which are not one piece but individually represented. This thing is awesome from the tips of his toes to the top of his head! You may be wondering how easy the inflatable is to put up. It’s actually really easy. One person can do it, but two are recommended. The hardest part is getting him to stand up, but even that is relatively easy. The whole process took about 30 minutes, and fifteen minutes of that was waiting for it to inflate. Some inflatables have obnoxiously loud air pumps;

There are few horror movie that can get under my skin, one is 2008’s Deadgirl that had me struggling to watch it all the way through. It left me in shock, and frankly, sick to my stomach, asking “What the fuck did I just watch?” It is by far the most disturbing zombie film that you will probably ever see. To mark the anniversary of Deadgirl‘s premiere, Unearthed Films is releasing a special 15th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition of directors Gadi Harel and Marcel Sarmiento’s controversial film. In the film, “When high school outcasts Rickie and JT find a naked dead girl chained to a table in an abandoned building, they do not expect her to be the living undead. The boys find themselves lured into a dark and twisted journey that will test the limits of both. Featuring searing performances by Shiloh Fernandez and Noah Segan (who won the 2009 Fright Meter Award for Best Actor), Deadgirl is a horror

Day in and day out, Tanner’s compulsive checking to confirm that his house is secure and his food is safe to eat slowly erodes his relationship with his patient and caring wife, Nicole. One day, Nicole hears that the man who assaulted Tanner was released from prison earlier than expected, and Tanner’s obsession spirals out of control.

Prime Video has now released the time-traveling slasher Totally Killer. I watched it, and I have some thoughts about the movie, directed by Nahnatchka Khan (Always Be My Maybe, “Young Rock”) and starring Kiernan Shipka (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” ). Totally Killer follows Jamie (Shipka), whose mom, Pam (Bowen), is terrorized by the resurgence of the Sweet Sixteen Killer—a masked maniac who slaughtered a group of teenage girls in the ‘80s. With the help of her friend Amelia (Kelcey Mawema), she travels back in time to 1987 and teams up with the teen version of her mom (Holt) to try and stop the killer. Equal parts horror and comedy, the movie sets out to capture the unique charm of the 1980s. And as someone who was there, I can definitely say they nailed it. It was a time when social sensitivity was lacking; there was no such thing as getting “triggered,” and nobody cared if you chained-smoked in the car
