The Monsterverse is Expanding with a New “Monarch” Spin-off
Apple TV+ is officially adding some heavy hitters to its monster roster. Millie Brady (The Last Kingdom) and Pilou Asbæk (Foundation, Game of Thrones) have signed on as series regulars for Legendary’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled Monsterverse spin-off series. They join the previously announced lead, Wyatt Russell, who is back into the uniform of Young Lee Shaw from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Exactly who Brady and Asbæk are playing is currently classified higher than a Monarch field report. Top Gun Meets Godzilla Helmed by showrunner Joby Harold, the series trades the modern era for the neon-and-paranoia of 1984. We follow a younger Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell) as he embarks on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines. His objective? To stop the Soviet Union from unleashing a horrific new Titan. One massive enough to turn the tide of the Cold War. Because apparently, nuclear deterrence wasn’t stressful enough without a giant lizard involved. The Creative Brain Trust To ensure the series lands with

Halloween Set Horror Comedy ‘Hamilton House’ Sets World Premiere
What happens when you trade the upbeat, bright-eyed chaos of daytime TV producing (The Drew Barrymore Show) for the dark, gritty, and hilarious world of indie film? You get Jordan Rowe’s Hamilton House—a Halloween-set comedy that proves struggling actors are far more terrifying than actual ghosts. Backed by a heavy-hitting executive producing team including Mayan Lopez (NBC’s Lopez vs. Lopez) and Tommy and Annie Smith (the minds who helped bring you the gore-soaked phenomenon Terrifier 2), this project bridges the gap between laugh-out-loud comedy and genuine love for the spooky season. The Pitch Set against the backdrop of a crisp New York Autumn, Hamilton House follows a group of young, desperate actors cohabitating in the ultimate urban horror setup—a cramped NYC basement apartment. When the hopelessly optimistic Zach discovers that a legendary horror film director is moving in down the block, he sees his ticket out of retail jobs and background extra gigs. Zach convinces his girlfriend and their increasingly

Forget Sharks: ‘Hungry’ is Bringing Hippos to the Horror Genre! Watch it Now on Digital!
Hey there, creature-feature fiends. If you’re tired of the same old sharks, bears, and gators hogging the genre spotlight, it’s time to update your phobia list. A new apex predator is throwing its considerable weight around on Digital right now, and it answers to one name: Hungry. That’s right. Move over, Jaws. Horror is finally giving us what we actually deserve: killer hippos. This Isn’t Your Childhood Board Game Despite the title, Hungry is absolutely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the Hasbro game you played as a kid. There are no colorful plastic marbles here—only tragedy, terror, and a whole lot of missing limbs. The plot kicks off in classic horror fashion: a group of thrill-seeking tourists boards a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “congratulations, you are now a buffet”—the group ends up way off the map and very much on the menu.

Prey and Predator: Badlands Director Announces Animated Horror Comedy ‘Freddy the 13th’
Director Dan Trachtenberg has spent the last few years orchestrating high-stakes alien hunts in the Predator franchise (Prey, Predator: Badlands). But for his next trick, he’s swapping gory sci-fi decapitations for family-friendly animated chaos. Trachtenberg is officially headed back into the world of animation to direct a horror-comedy project for Paramount Animation, based on the graphic novel Freddy the 13th by Yehudi Mercado. The best way to pitch the premise? Imagine if Uncle Buck accidentally stumbled into a Friday the 13th movie and left with a body count. The Santa Clause, But Make It Murder According to Deadline, the upcoming animated feature—which is technically untitled at the moment—follows a family vacation that takes a sharp detour into a living nightmare when the fun-loving, highly irresponsible Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the local Boogeyman. As a result, he inadvertently inherits his supernatural powers. Yehudi Mercado’s original graphic novel pads out the hilarious, high-stakes misery: When an unlucky, horror-obsessed schlub accidentally terminates the

Dive Into the Trailer for the Practical FX Shark Movie ‘The Bay’
When it comes to the summer months, two things are absolute, undeniable certainties: Georgia is hot enough to melt asphalt, and Hollywood is going to dump a truckload of shark movies onto our screens. Joining the highly competitive 2026 aquatic thriller lineup, which includes Deep Water and Chum, is The Bay from Brainstorm Media. Practical Effects and Terrible Vacation Decisions The movie stars Francesca Eastwood (M.F.A., Clawfoot), but the real headline here for horror purists is behind the gills. Rather than relying entirely on dodgy, weightless CGI, The Bay will feature a fully functional animatronic shark. It was built by the practical-effects wizards at Bischoff’s. What you will be seeing is a combo of the animatronic and real beasts. Written and directed by Phil Volken, the plot keeps things lean, mean, and claustrophobic. When a tourist boat tragically sinks inside an actual, designated shark sanctuary, two best friends are forced into a brutal fight for survival as they try to

The Dark Side of Anime: 8 Terrifying Horror Series You Can’t Miss
Step into the shadows of anime with our guide to 8 terrifying horror series that blend cosmic dread, body horror, and psychological fear. Horror isn’t confined to creaking floorboards and found-footage cameras.

Below, each pick includes what kind of fear it delivers, why it lands for horror fans, a quick “scare scale,” and content notes so you can choose your poison wisely. 1) Tokyo Ghoul — Cannibalistic Identity Horror Humanity fractures.

Every gaping maw is a moral question made flesh.

Location, Location, Location… and Liability Season 3 picks up right after the crew successfully establishes their shiny new colony, Homebase 1.
