If movies like Jumanji or Zathura taught us anything, it’s that whenever you find a dusty, ancient board game rotting away in a place it clearly doesn’t belong, you do not play it. You leave it alone. You put it back. Naturally, the characters in Chanathip Wongpoltree’s new Thai horror flick Ghost Board missed that memo entirely. The film follows a group of friends who stumble upon an ancient board game hidden deep inside a remote temple. Instead of calling an archaeologist or walking away like sensible human beings, they roll the dice. What happens? They accidentally summon a vengeful, ancient spirit and turned the tabletop game into a literal death trap. Now, to keep from becoming permanent game pieces, the crew has to figure out how to finish the game before it finishes them. The Team on the Board Directed by Wongpoltree, the film boasts a dynamic young Thai cast ready to face the supernatural music, including Panisara Rikulsurakan

Sydney Sweeney is on an absolute tear right now—fresh off her performance in The Housemaid (now available on Starz and Prime Video), the star is locking down her next major genre project. A Trip to Sleepy Hollow Sony Pictures has won a competitive bidding war for Hollow, a high-concept feature film adaptation of the upcoming gothic novel by Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines). Sweeney is officially attached to produce and star in the film, while Beer will write the screenplay and direct. If you think you know The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, think again. This isn’t your middle-school English class’s Headless Horseman story. Told from the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel (the role famously played by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 classic), Hollow reframes the iconic heroine. Rather than serving as a passive romantic trophy for Ichabod Crane, Katrina is thrust into the center of a dangerous mystery and a seductive, supernatural love triangle. The project is being

Every wealthy family has skeletons in their closet. The Grimaldis just happen to keep a literal demon in the basement. Mad Cave Studios has officially unveiled Filthy Lambs, a chilling new horror comic series that asks a simple question: How much blood are you willing to spill to keep your trust fund intact? Written and lettered by Paul Allor (Marvel Rivals, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), with eerie, razor-sharp artwork by Chris Evenhuis (G.I. Joe) and colors by Sjan Weijers, this series blends domestic dysfunction, occult nightmares, and pitch-black humor into a story decades in the making. A Prayer, A Stabbing, and A Snapping Turtle The premise kicks off in the cellar of Grimaldi Manor. The family patriarch utters a prayer, plunges a knife into his own throat. The blood flows for his demonic spectator. Meanwhile, upstairs? Three generations of clueless Grimaldis—and, strangely, a snapping turtle—are blissfully celebrating their extravagant lives. For the last few decades, the Grimaldi lineage has enjoyed
