When most people think of horror, they think of packed cinemas, lights out, tense music, and the occasional jump scare. Some immediately think of possessed dolls or haunted houses, while others think of fast-moving zombies or an alien invasion. The horror genre is one of the most widespread and can be further segmented into subgenres that have their own dedicated audiences. But what about when we remove the films and look to other media that fit into the genre? Does horror work when it’s not a movie? Books Many may dismiss horror-themed books due to the idea that ‘books can’t be scary.’ Most horror aficionados would tell these naysayers that horror genre books are scarier than most movies. The books last longer, have the tension drawn out, and through the narrative devices allow you to truly get into the shoes of the characters, feeling a personal connection to the tension. Master of horror, Stephen King, helped popularize the genre for

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, “The Addams Family”! Earlier this year MGM brought back our favorite family with a new animated movie, but what fans really want is a new live-action revival and they just may be getting it! Deadline is reporting that Tim Burton (Yes, Burton!) is looking to bring a new live-action “Addams Family” series to fans. The site has reported that Burton is currently negotiating to executive produce and possibly direct all of the episodes of this new take on the franchise. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) have already signed on as writers and showrunners for the MGM TV project, which is searching for a place to call home. Word is, the series may potentially be snatched up by Netflix. Deadline states, “As of right now, the package has multiple buyers bidding for it, including Netflix, which sources say is at the top of the list of landing the project.” This time, the series will be

After just seven months, the streaming service Quibi is closing thanks to reportedly low viewership, a horde of technical problems, and a nasty lawsuit, according to the Wall Street Journal. Designed as a service meant to be watched on-the-go on your phone, Quibi was the home of Sam Raimi’s “50 States of Fright” which explores stories based on urban legends from every state, taking viewers deeper into the horrors that lurk just beneath. This also means that “Don’t’ Look Deeper will end and Tomie from Alexandre Aja will no longer happen, at least not on Quibi. “The Stranger” starring Maika Monroe and Dane DeHaan will also be dead in the water. Quibi really did offer some great series and we’re sad to see them go. We hope that the series and movies all find a new home. There has been no announcement at this time exactly when Quibi will pull the plug, but when they do we’ll let you know.

Demons, angels, and miracles are just some of the things that are considered very serious in the Catholic Church and have been forever. In the series “Evil” we watch as a team made up of a priest in training, a psychologist, and a contractor delve into reports of exorcisms and more for the church. Kristen (Katja Herbers), a clinical psychologist, struggles so hard to be a good mother and wife while trying to find fulfillment in her work. Though she’s a skeptic about the supernatural world after being recruited by David she can’t deny what is happening in the world around her.

If you thought watching the blockbuster movie The MEG, which plunged viewers headfirst into the waiting jaws of a Megalodon in the Mariana Trench, was thrilling, imagine immersing yourself in an interactive world ruled by prehistoric sea creatures and taking part in the heart-pounding action! Steve Alten, the author of the NY Times bestselling MEG series, has created a world like no other. Sea Monster Cove is a revolutionary multimedia entertainment concept that combines virtual reality, a web TV series, a video game, and a learning platform into one interactive site. The Sea Monster Cove website of Alten’s imagination is a spectacular, five-star aquarium-themed resort located on Maug, a remote (and very real) island in the Western Pacific. Maug’s volcano erupted 5 million years ago; today all that remains are three uninhabited islets that had been the volcano’s rim and a flooded magma chamber that serves as its lagoon. Why place a virtual island resort here? That’s where Alten’s research

The blood-drenched indie cannibal horror Human Hibachi was set to arrive on Amazon this month but has now been banned on Amazon due to its intense, horrific, and graphic nature. But don’t worry, you can still witness the carnage this month on the official Human Hibachi website. In the film, a man documents his girlfriend’s 35th birthday on his phone. What he captures throughout the night are the most disturbing human acts imaginable. So when I made this film, I knew some of the stuff that I put in it might exclude us from platforms like Amazon, however, I wanted to see my vision through so I wasn’t going to let that hold me back. The main goal was to make something different… something that will be remembered and I’ll take that over being rejected by a platform any day.” Director Mario Cerrito states.

Last year, when Netflix aired the genre series “The Haunting of Hill House,” I had no clue that a series could ever reach the ranks it did in my book. A nearly perfect series unfolded before, and I was left bragging about it to anyone who would listen. I’ve seen the series four times since the first time I was introduced to the Crian family. So imagine my excitement when “The Haunting of Bly Manor” was announced; I was ecstatic, to put it mildly. With many of “Hill House’s” cast returning, I knew in my heart that this season would be just as good as the first; you could say that I had high hopes. But did it stand up to my expectations? That’s what I’m here to discuss. Based on Henry James’ “Turning of the Screw” as well as a few other of James’ stories, “The Haunting of Bly Manor” is a haunting tale of a young American teacher
