Ron Perlman Hunts a Vampire in the ‘Succubus’ Trailer

Shout! Studios have just dropped the trailer for its upcoming sexy horror thriller, Succubus, starring Ron Perlman on a mission to stop a vampire. This is not the first time Perlman has faced off against bloodsuckers. He played one Blade II. However, he is best known for his roles as Hellboy and Clay in “Sons of Anarchy.” The chilling plot of Succubus follows a recently separated father, Chris. With the encouragement of his oversexed friend, Eddie, he decides to dive into online dating. A decision he will likely regret. His journey turns sinister when he matches with the alluring but enigmatic Adra. As their connection deepens, Chris becomes entangled in a web of seduction and manipulation that leads to a horrifying, deadly truth. R.J. Daniel Hanna both wrote and directed the film, which features a star-studded cast that includes Brendan Bradley, Rachel Cook, Olivia Applegate, Derek Smith, Emily Kincaid, Rosanna Arquette, and Perlman. Succubus promises a thrilling blend of horror,

Upcoming Stephen King Adaptations Headed Your Way

When it comes to horror, one thing is always guaranteed: a Stephen King adaptation is on its way (not that we are complaining). Multiple movies and series are gearing up to premiere over the next few years. We’ve got a list. Here’s what is headed your way so far. The Monkey Directed by Osgood Perkins (also behind the terrifying film Longlegs), the film stars Emmy-nominated actor Theo James in a dual role as twin brothers Hal and Bill. When they unearth a seemingly harmless childhood toy – their father’s old monkey – a wave of brutal deaths begins to plague them. Determined to break the curse, the brothers must confront the sinister power of the monkey before it claims everything they hold dear. Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) and Elijah Wood (“Lord of the Rings”) join James. James Wan (The Conjuring, M3GAN, and its spin-off SOULM8TE) serves as producer alongside Michael Clear. It opens in theaters on February 21, 2025 The

Box Set Review: Danza Macabra Vol. 3 – Severin Blu-ray

Remember way back to like last week (approx.) when I put a revoltin’ review upon Severin’s second collection of Italian Gothic fright flicks, Danza Macabra Volume 2? Well, it took so long for my arcane as to talk about that set, that a whole new third volume has been conjured forth… this time with a change of scenery as we’re going to Spain baby! First up, Disc One contains 1971’s Necrophagus… Aristocrat Michael Sherrington (Bill Curran) heads back to the town in which his wife Elizabeth has expired after an emergency cesarean to remove her dead fetus… seems wholesome enough so far… Once there he goes sleuthin’ around the place seeking answers about just how his wife died… but beyond the basics, the whole town seems rather tight-lipped (and downright sinister) about the whole, sordid affair… especially family physician Dr. Lexter (Frank Braña) and cemetery caretaker Mr. Fowles (Víctor Israel), as well as Michael’s in-laws and his mother, Lady Anne

Box Set Review: Danza Macabra Volume 2 – Severin 4K/Blu-ray

Remember way back to like last year when Severin released their collection of Italian Gothic fright flicks in a handy box set called Danza Macabra? Well, they went and released a second volume (and because I’m woefully behind, a third set as well… review coming soon) so lets do the film by film bag, shall we? First up is Antonio Margheriti’s (Yor: The Hunter From the Future) and Sergio Corbucci’s (1966’s Django) Castle of Blood from 1964, doubtless an answer to then-popular Edgar Alan Poe adaptations coming from legendary producer Roger Corman… hell, Poe even appears as a character in this very narrative (played by The Bloodstained Butterfly’s Silvano Tranquilli)! Speaking of Poe as we are, he’s balls deep into describing the final act of his story Berenice to his chum Lord Thomas Blackwood (Umberto Raho, The Last Man on Earth) when they are joined by journalist Alan Foster (Georges Rivière) who believes that the supernatural is a load of

Movie Review: Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein (1972) – Severin Blu-ray

Drac (Jess Franco regular Howard Vernon, who’s appearance here proves my words, as this too is a Franco flick) is back, and he’s doing his fang bang schtick on ye local comely lasses… an action that really sticks in the ass of Dr. Jonathan Seward (Alberto Dalbés)… here filling the traditional Van Helsing role… so much so that he takes a carriage ride to Dracula’s castle and straight up stakes the mother sucker turning him into an ex-bat! Well, nightmare over… right? Wrong. Before the pillow is even cold, Dr. Frankenstein (Dennis Price, who would return to the role in Franco’s The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein a year later in 1973), and his unfortunately horny assistant Morpho (Luis Barboo) slide their asses on into the castle, and immediately reawaken the Doctor’s Monster (Fernando Bilbao) whom they’ve conveniently brought along. Said Monster then ambles into town and abducts a showgirl (who’s eventual corpse is the only thing to quench Morpho’s unholy

From the Showrunner of Netflix’s “Daredevil” Comes the Graphic Novel “Beneath”

Acclaimed filmmaker Steven S. DeKnight, best known for creating the Starz series “Spartacus,” working on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and serving as showrunner of Netflix’s “Daredevil,” makes his creator-owned comics debut with the haunting graphic novel BENEATH. This chilling supernatural horror story, arriving August 6, has fans buzzing. Deep beneath a desolate U.S. detention center on the Texas-Mexico border, a terror unlike any other awakens. Deputy Sheriff Jess Delgado finds himself thrust into a desperate fight for survival when the center becomes a battleground between the living and the horrifying creatures emerging from the darkness. DeKnight brings this nightmarish tale to life with acclaimed artist Michael Gaydos, co-creator of Marvel’s “Jessica Jones.” Gaydos’ atmospheric art perfectly captures the suspense and terror of BENEATH. “The best genre stories make you think,” says DeKnight. “BENEATH is a horror story, but it’s also a story that reflects the realities of our world.” This must-read book will be available exclusively from Comixology Originals and
