Most people hear the name James Gunn and think Guardians of the Galaxy or his shiny new Superman movie. Not me. When I hear his name, my mind immediately goes to the gutter—specifically to Slither, his 2006 masterpiece of sci-fi slime that helped turn him into the cinematic mastermind he is today. So, the second I heard about the glorious new 20th Anniversary 4K Steelbook, I threw my wallet at the screen. Let’s say it did not disappoint. Slimey Tentacle Aliens If you’ve never experienced this beautiful disaster, the story is a classic “alien parasite meets the backwoods” nightmare. A space rock lands in a sleepy town. Then a local businessman is transformed into a walking tentacled biological hazard as the alien begins a messy mission to consume every living thing on Earth. It’s up to the town’s delightfully dry-witted Sheriff (Nathan Fillion, delivering peak Fillion) and a resilient local wife of the victim (Elizabeth Banks) to stop the infestation

Just when you thought Hollywood had run out of Stephen King properties to adapt, the industry digs a little deeper into the master of horror’s bibliography. According to Deadline, Ben Young—the filmmaker who leaves audiences thoroughly unsettled with the psychological horror Hounds of Love—has officially signed on to direct Mister Yummy. The film is an adaptation of a short story tucked inside King’s 2015 collection, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Nostalgia, Regret, and Assisted Living Horrors Forget haunted hotels and cursed cars; this time, the nightmare is checking into a retirement home. The story follows Ollie Franklin. He’s a charismatic resident of an assisted living facility whose quiet life goes off the rails after a fellow resident passes away. Soon after the funeral, Ollie begins experiencing deeply disturbing visions. As the fragile boundaries between his fading memories, decades of unresolved regret, and the supernatural begin to dissolve, Ollie is forced to confront long-buried secrets from his past before his own

It’s officially happening. Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Behaviour Interactive have officially chosen their champion to direct the upcoming live-action adaptation of the mega-hit asymmetrical horror game, Dead by Daylight. The man holding the flashlight? Thordur Palsson. The Icelandic director is best known for creating and directing “The Valhalla Murders” (Netflix’s first-ever Icelandic original series) and his atmospheric 2025 psychological horror debut, The Damned. He’s currently wrapping up a disaster miniseries called Avalanche, but his next job will involve navigating a much more intentional kind of catastrophe. “There is no better moment than the tenth anniversary to share this news,” said Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse. “Thordur is the filmmaker we trust to carry Dead by Daylight from the screen you play on to the big screen you watch in theaters.” For the Uninitiated: What is Dead by Daylight? If you’ve spent the last decade avoiding the gaming world, Dead by Daylight is a chaotic, stress-inducing multiplayer survival game.

They Will Kill You—the raucous, blood-soaked action-horror-comedy that transforms a Manhattan high-rise into a literal house of the damned. If you’re a genre fan who lives for a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor and John Wick-style stunts, lock this in right now: this movie is an absolute must-watch. Zazi Beetz (Deadpool 2) stars as Asia, a woman who thinks she’s struck gold with a standard New York City apartment at “The Virgil.” Instead, she quickly uncovers that her gorgeous high-rise is actually a demonic death trap operating as a temple to Satan. To survive the night, Asia is forced to wage an absolute war against a gauntlet of robed zealots through corridors drenched in blood. And an onslaught of fights and supernatural twists. Director Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Die!) masterfully helms the chaos from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators). Bringing extra horror pedigree to the table, IT director Andy Muschietti produces the film alongside Barbara Muschietti

The Duffer Brothers are officially graduating from Hawkins, Indiana, and elders in the desert and heading straight to the multiplex. Variety reports that Matt and Ross Duffer, the masterminds behind “Stranger Things,” have officially set their first feature film. And it will be under their massive, four-year exclusive deal with Paramount. Fresh off wrapping up their flagship Netflix hit and delivering their second acclaimed series, “The Boroughs,” the duo are parting ways with the streaming giant’s movie division to focus on old-school cinematic spectacles. The studio has locked in a wide theatrical release date of November 3, 2028, for the yet-to-be-titled project. Plot Under Wraps (Naturally) In classic Hollywood fashion, specific plot details are being guarded more fiercely than a government laboratory. What we do know is that the project is being developed under the Duffers’ Upside Down Pictures banner, which they run alongside company president and producing partner Hilary Leavitt. A New Era at Paramount While Netflix might have

If you thought dating in the modern era was a nightmare, try doing it when you smell like a cemetery. Lightbulb Film Distribution has officially announced that their festival darling Dead Lover is coming to dig up some laughs at home. The dark, boundary-pushing horror-comedy will hit all digital platforms on June 22. The Blu-ray will be released on September 7. The film recently wrapped its theatrical run, making headlines for introducing the world to “Stink-O-Vision,” a bold gimmick that likely had audiences gripping their popcorn tightly. Fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Death Becomes Her, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein should feel right at home here. Minus the body odor, hopefully. True Love Never Dies (Even When It Really Stinks) The movie follows a lonely gravedigger. Her social life is severely hindered by the fact that she permanently smells of corpses. She finally beats the odds and meets her dream man—only for him to immediately drown at sea. Refusing

Back in May, Shudder did the lord’s work by finally dragging HBO’s classic anthology “Tales from the Crypt” out of licensing limbo and onto a streaming platform for the first time ever. After weeks of drip-feeding subsequent seasons, the horror-centric streamer dropped the final batch. That’s right: all seven seasons are officially streaming uncut and uncensored. But instead of just letting us binge in peace, Shudder decided to celebrate with a surprise that has the horror community losing its collective mind. A New Look for an Old Ghoul Makeup effects royalty Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, Creepshow) has officially reimagined and rebuilt the iconic Crypt Keeper puppet. To make things even better, Shudder shared photos of the legendary John Kassir—the unmistakable voice behind the Keeper’s cackle—cozying up to the brand-new, beautifully decayed puppet. Naturally, this raises one massive, blood-red question: WHY?! Was this just a high-budget passion project for Nicotero? Or is Shudder teasing something much, much bigger? We hope

Sports already flirt with horror. Think of a missed penalty, a rookie freezing under stadium lights, or a fighter trying to stand when everyone knows he should sit. The body is on the line, pride is on the line, and the crowd wants more. With CBS News’ interview with Tyriq Withers on the Jordan Peele-produced film Him, bringing football horror back into the conversation, these seven films are worth saving. Black Sunday (1977) This one does not need ghosts. Black Sunday turns the Super Bowl into a nightmare of timing, crowds, and public panic. The blimp is the image people remember, but the fear comes from the scale. Everyone is looking at the game. Almost nobody is looking up. Black Swan (2010) Black Swan makes ballet feel like combat in silk shoes. Natalie Portman plays Nina, a dancer so hungry for perfection that the line between discipline and collapse starts to disappear. The pressure feels recognizable. Coaches demand more, rivals
