If you’ve spent any time in the algorithmic swamp of YouTube horror, you’ve met The Woman. She stands in the corner. She waits at the foot of the bed. And the only way to survive her is to pretend she isn’t there. Now the rule is going wide. Sam Evenson, the filmmaker behind the Grimoire Horror channel, is expanding his viral 2021 short “Ignore It” — 12 million views and counting — into a feature film, marking his directorial debut, with Lily Collias attached to lead.

We lost the man who wrote the blueprint. Victor Miller died at 86 this week, and the sentence “screenwriter of the original Friday the 13th” undersells what that credit set in motion. The rest of the week arranged itself around money and craft, which is not the usual shape of a news cycle.

Terror Films Releasing is not premiering a new movie on September 25, 2026. It is resurrecting one. The Night Marchers arrives worldwide on Tubi, Chilling, The Roku Channel, Fandango at Home, sold on footage from a crew that vanished 25 years ago. This is a 2001 film. It opened in Hawaii on February 16 of that year, runs about 67 minutes, and cost roughly $40,000. Twin brothers Blake and Brent Cousins wrote and directed, and star alongside twins Kevin and Kelvin Antonio.

Ask a room of working horror filmmakers why they keep going and you get a punchline before you get an answer. Michael J. Epstein went first. “The answer is simple. We’re very, very stupid.” Then he actually answered it. Artists make art because it is how they make sense of the world and connect with other people. A minute later he landed on the version he meant: “This is what being human is about. It’s about creating conversations.

For a franchise built around opening doors you probably should not open, the latest Resident Evil movie may finally understand what makes those moments so stressful. Sony Pictures screened the first 30 minutes of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil for audiences and press on September 1, with events held in Los Angeles, New York and Dallas ahead of a live Reddit Q&A with the filmmaker. The full movie was not screened, so these are not reviews of the finished film.

Last week, we had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at Halloween Horror Nights At Universal Studios Hollywood, joining John Murdy, Creative Director and Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights, for a daytime walkthrough of two of this year’s houses: Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn. HHN Hollywood – September 3rd Thru November 1st (Select Nights). HHN Hollywood – September 3rd Thru November 1st (Select Nights). Even with the lights on, both houses were incredibly impressive.

Another weekend, another pile of horror that appeared on streaming while we were busy doing something else. The first of the month is always the big drop, and September 1 fell on a Tuesday this year, which means the apps have been quietly restocking themselves since Monday and most of us have not caught up. So we went looking for what actually arrived this week, between Monday, August 31 and Sunday, September 6. Not what is sitting there. What is new.

Victor Miller, the writer who sat down to answer a producer’s request for a Halloween knockoff and instead handed horror one of its most durable franchises, has died at 86.

The collectible popcorn container arms race has been running long enough that most of us can predict the shape by now. Big plastic character head. Hinged jaw. A hole where the snacks go. Regal looked at all of that and decided to do something considerably weirder for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil. The newly revealed collectible is not a bucket.
