Cineverse is celebrating horror fans’ second-favorite holiday – Halfway to Halloween – with the announcement that the remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night  will stream exclusively on SCREAMBOX in April.   The original Christmas horror film was released in 1984, and caused quite a controversy.

Hulu’s Pizza Movie  seems to be categorized as a “stoner comedy”, but the trailer definitely has some horror style overtones.

In Pizza Movie , best buds Jack and Montgomery are college students who just don’t seem to fit in. After a hard day of making fools of themselves and being bullied, the two just want to have a fun night…so they...

Jamie Lee Curtis, Barbara Crampton, Linnea Quigley, Heather Langenkamp, Dee Wallace…all of these lovely ladies are often referred to as Scream Queens. Each of them has appeared in several horror movies, and are respected within the genre. But the number of designated Scream Queens doesn’t have to be finite. As long as horror movies continue to flourish, there will always be actresses who are ready, willing and able to step up to the stage and claim a crown. Here are five women who are...

Horror fans in Florida know that Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort is a beloved spooky holiday rite of passage. 2026 is going to be a big year for Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, because it’s the 35 th anniversary of “the world’s premier Halloween event.” In 1991, Universal Studios Fright Nights was held in Orlando for the first time, as a 3-night event.
