Paramount+ Digs into the Strange True Crime Docuseries 'My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders'

Paramount+ Digs into the Strange True Crime Docuseries ‘My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders’

Most family disagreements involve politics or who forgot to wash the dishes. For the Studey family, the debate is a little more intense: namely, whether or not dear old Dad was a prolific serial killer. Paramount+ is set to explore this deeply unsettling game of “he said, she said” with its new documentary series, My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders. The docuseries aims to posthumously unmask the rumored “Monster of Green Hollow,” a man some believe murdered dozens of people decades ago. But did he? The Well of Horrors vs. The “Big, Fat Lie” The spine of the series rests on a bizarre debate between two sisters regarding their late father, Donald Studey: The Accuser: Lucy Studey claims she doesn’t just suspect her father was a monster. She alleges she was an eyewitness. Lucy maintains that Don dumped dozens of victims into a stone water well on their property. She even claims she helped him cover the bodies in

Upcoming Game 'FEED IT' Turns Meal Prep into a Psychological Nightmare

Upcoming Game ‘FEED IT’ Turns Meal Prep into a Psychological Nightmare

If you think your current living situation is tense, wait until you meet your new landlord. Italian indie studio Games On A Chair—alongside publisher Pretty Soon—has officially pulled back the curtain on FEED IT. This psychological horror game makes “splitting the grocery bill” look like a walk in the park. The reveal trailer dropped today, and it’s all about jump scares and more about the crushing realization that you are basically a sentient Uber Eats driver for a monster. The Hook: “Hangry” is an “Understatement In FEED IT, you aren’t with a shotgun or a magic spell. You’re the guy in a house with a creature that has an extremely high metabolism and a very short fuse. The gameplay revolves around a single, agonizing choice: Feed the Monster: You stay safe, but you slowly starve to death. Feed Yourself: You stay nourished, but the creature in the next room is going to have a very loud, very violent opinion about

Witchy Home Invasion Horror 'The Heretiks' Wraps Production

Witchy Home Invasion Horror ‘The Heretiks’ Wraps Production

If you thought your last breakup was messy, try leaving a coven of sadistic fanatics. Filming has officially wrapped on The Heretiks, a witchy home-invasion horror flick that sounds like a fever dream for anyone who misses the ’80s and fears the occult. The project comes from the twisted minds of Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins—the writing duo who previously made us uncomfortable with The Night House, Super Dark Times, and the 2022 Hellraiser reboot. The Plot: A Very Bad Halloween Set against a nostalgic 1980s Halloween backdrop, the film follows Cai (Kimberly Epstein), a renegade witch who clearly didn’t get a “good luck on your future endeavors” card from her former coven. Instead of moving on, the coven’s leader, a “sadistic fanatic” named Neve (Tess Williams), is dead-set on bringing about the apocalypse. The plan? A casual Halloween night sacrifice involving a young girl named Mabel. Cai must step up as the ultimate supernatural bodyguard to protect Mabel and

Ella Rubin Joins Netflix’s "The God of the Woods" Adaptation

Ella Rubin Joins Netflix’s “The God of the Woods” Adaptation

Summer camp is rarely a peaceful getaway in the world of thrillers, and Netflix’s upcoming prestige mystery is no exception. Ella Rubin (Until Dawn, Fear Street: Prom Queen) has officially signed on to join the sprawling, multi-generational adaptation of Liz Moore’s bestselling 2024 novel, The God of the Woods. Rubin joins a high-caliber ensemble that already includes Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) and Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin). Wealth, Secrets, and a Missing Child Set against the deceptively scenic backdrop of the Adirondacks, the series tracks the slow-motion implosion of the ultra-wealthy Van Laar family. When 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her family’s summer camp, it forces a collision between the town’s distinct social classes and unearths an older family tragedy that everyone would prefer stayed buried. As the investigation deepens, the Van Laars’ immense wealth and influence begin to unravel, exposing the toxic side effects of extreme privilege and institutional power. The Suspects and Citizens The

‘Obsession’ Hits Theaters Ranking 96% Fresh with Two New Clips!

If you’ve spent any time on the “That’s a Bad Idea” YouTube channel or lost sleep over the viral hit Milk & Serial, you know Curry Barker has a knack for making the mundane feel deeply threatening. Now, Barker is making his big-studio leap with Obsession. The supernatural horror flick that has critics swooning and audiences checking under their beds. Landing in theaters today, May 15, 2026, the film has already secured a 96% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems Barker’s jump from YouTube sensation to Blumhouse director was a very good idea. Be Careful What You Wish For (Seriously) The film follows Bear (Michael Johnston). He’s a lonely music store employee who is tired of playing second fiddle in his friend Nikki’s (Inde Navarrette) life. In a moment of desperation, Bear makes a wish using a mysterious, slightly too creepy toy to win Nikki’s heart. In the world of horror, “sweet” wishes are usually a tactical error.

Seeking Redemption: New Exorcist II Documentary 'Boorman and the Devil' Coming Soon

Seeking Redemption: New Exorcist II Documentary ‘Boorman and the Devil’ Coming Soon

In 1977, John Boorman released Exorcist II: The Heretic, a sequel so ambitious, surreal, and baffling that it nearly exorcised his career right out of Hollywood. Now, nearly fifty years later, Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired the North American rights to Boorman and the Devil, a documentary dedicated to one of cinema’s most fascinating “glorious failures.” Directed by David Kittredge and produced alongside genre veteran Travis Stevens (Jodorowsky’s Dune), the film is a deep dive into the chaos, the legacy, and the sheer audacity of a sequel that refused to play it safe. A Love Letter to the “Big Swing” While Exorcist II is often cited as one of the most infamous follow-ups in history, Boorman and the Devil seek to reframe the narrative rather than mock the locusts and the tap-dancing. The documentary explores the importance of taking massive creative risks. The film features a “who’s who” of genre royalty discussing the sequel’s cult status and Boorman’s visionary (if

Negan and Maggie Unite in the First Trailer for Season 3 of "The Walking Dead: Dead City"

Negan and Maggie Unite in the First Trailer for Season 3 of “The Walking Dead: Dead City”

If you thought co-living with your worst enemy was tough, try doing it in a crumbling, zombie-infested Manhattan. AMC has officially dropped the premiere date and a frantic new teaser for the third season of “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” proving that the apocalypse’s most awkward partnership is far from over. The Premise: Can Frenemies Build a Metropolis? Season three finds Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) attempting the ultimate post-apocalyptic pivot: putting aside their incredibly bloody history to construct the first thriving community in Manhattan since the world went to hell. But because this is “The Walking Dead,” peace lasts about as long as a New York minute. As chaos inevitably bubbles up through the subway grates, the duo is forced to confront a familiar question: Have they actually evolved beyond their old trauma, or will their toxic baggage bring the city’s new foundation crashing down around them? The Big Apple’s New Residents Alongside Morgan and Cohan,

Nightmare on Elm Street Star Joins 'Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light'

Nightmare on Elm Street Star Joins ‘Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light’

Alice Johnson has officially traded her dream-fighting powers for a badge. Lisa Wilcox, the horror icon beloved for her role as the “Dream Master” in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and 5, has signed on to join the cast of Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light. Wilcox will step into the shoes of Detective Garner. She’s a veteran investigator who has clearly spent too much time looking into things that go bump in the night. The Longest-Running Nightmare If you aren’t familiar with the Witchcraft series, you haven’t been looking at the “World Records” section of your horror encyclopedia. It’s the latest installment of one of the longest-running horror franchises in cinema history. It will, however, be a bit different than its predecessors. However, Lanterne of Light is pivoting to a dark found-footage style. The story dives into the cursed legend of “The Children of the Hollow” buried deep in the North Carolina wilderness. Expect less “scenic hiking” and more

Magenta Light Studios (the folks behind Strange Darling) has officially acquired the North American rights to Lice, a horror-comedy slated to infest theaters in early 2027.
