It’s a pretty rare feat to see a horror film given a major release in the local theater. Tarot, Abigail, Longlegs and even the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot for instance, were relegated to smaller screens in the theater, while Maxxxine and The Monkey didn’t make it in at all. So, imagine my surprise when Weapons, a movie whose …

Let’s be honest: horror movies love a good trope. And you know what? So do we. Sure, some of them have been dusted off more times than a cursed Ouija board at a teenage sleepover, but that doesn’t mean they don’t still work. Some tropes get our little horror-loving hearts racing no matter how many times we’ve seen them—and some …

“Alexa, is Jason Voorhees a Deadite?” So began my first dive into a question I had only begun to ponder a few weeks ago. It was an ominous sign when, rather than giving me an answer, Alexa literally returned with a movie titled What? So I asked again: “Alexa, is Jason Voorhees a Deadite?” At least this time I got …

A Tribute to the One and Only Tony Todd: Horror Won’t Be The Same Without Him That Voice. That Presence. That Impact. My first encounter with Tony Todd wasn’t in a lead role. It was The Crow (1994), and he was the subdued, even-tempered right-hand man to Michael Wincott’s wildly eccentric villain, Top Dollar. It was basically the battle of …
