The Mystery House has just announced the lineup of special events that will take place throughout the holiday season. Tickets for all events are available now at winchestermysteryhouse.com. “The holidays are a very special time at Winchester Mystery House,” said General Manager Walter Magnuson. “Many people don’t realize that during Sarah Winchester’s lifetime, the spookiest day of the year was actually Christmas Eve. Families and neighbors would gather around the fire in shadow-filled story circles to hear tales of specters and the supernatural. We hope that our guests make a visit to the Winchester Mystery House part of their holiday tradition.” Built during the Victorian era, Sarah Winchester’s eccentric house is a sight to behold any time of year, but it’s especially inspiring during the holidays.

Shelley Duvall, whose last performance was in The Shining, is returning to horror for the first time in more than 20 years to star in The Forest Hills, from writer-director Scott Goldberg (Moirai: The Drifter). Today, the trailer has arrived, teasing a dark, disturbing, and beautifully shot film filled with horrors. The film centers on Rico, a disturbed man (Chiko Mendez) who is plagued with nightmarish visions after suffering head trauma while camping in the Catskill Mountains. The cast also includes Edward Furlong and Dee Wallace, with Duvall playing Rico’s mother. “We are huge fans of ‘The Shining’ and it’s honestly one of my favorite horror movies of all time, up there with John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ and George A.

This November, Peacock is adding a new crime thriller/drama to their Original lineup. Titled “The Calling,” the series is from David E. Kelly, the creator of “Big Little Lies.” Originally titled “The Missing,” the series is based on “The Missing File”, the first in a series of books written by Israeli crime writer Dror A. Mishani, who also serves as executive producer on the series. Jeff Wilbusch stars the main character, Avi, who approaches investigations differently than your typical detective. He uses his Jewish background and faith in humanity to understand why each person is involved in a crime. Juliana Canfield (Succession) stars alongside Wilbusch as rookie Detective Janine Harris who is ambitious. The two are very much opposites but make a good team. In season one of “The Calling” which features eight one-hour episodes, Avi and Janine take on two main cases, the first involves a missing child, and the second a potential act of terrorism at a daycare

Odds are, if you’re a horror fan, you’ve seen the insane trailer for Rhys Frake-Waterfield‘s upcoming movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The director is already continuing his assault on our beloved childhood movies (not that that is a bad thing). Not only is Waterfield working on a sequel to Blood and Honey ahead of its release, but he’s also working on a movie titled Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare. We can’t wait to see what hell he puts poor Wendy and Peter through. How is Waterfield getting around Disney? Both Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan are public domain. Filmmakers are free to create their own versions, such as a killer Winnie the Pooh who happens to love spilling blood as much as it loves eating honey. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey centers on Christopher Robin who heads off to college and forgets to feed his friends before he goes. This leaves Winnie and Piglet to starve and
