The Cycle and the Art of the Genre Shift
The best trick a horror movie can pull is making you forget which movie you walked into. The Cycle, directed by Jordan Downey, is built around that trick. It starts in one place and ends somewhere else entirely, and the filmmakers are open about how fragile the whole structure is. The setup is simple. When the body of a man missing for 36 years is discovered at the scene of a horrific crime, it falls to his estranged daughter to unravel his dark past.
Ghoulies Reboot Is Back After Legal Settlement
Few horror franchises own a calling card as gloriously dumb as a tiny demon climbing out of a toilet bowl. That image sold the original Ghoulies, and any reboot has to live up to it. After a legal fight that froze everything, the people behind the revival say the road is finally clear. Co-writer and producer Jefery Levy and director Luca Bercovici reclaimed the domestic rights to their cult creature feature and announced plans for a new trilogy aimed at a new generation of fans.
The Unknown Swaps Bodies, Not Just Skins
Most body horror shows you what happens to flesh. The Unknown asks what happens to the person wearing it. That shift, from mutation to displacement, is why this London Film Festival title is hard to shake. The premise is delivered fast. David Zimmerman, a Parisian photographer played by Niels Schneider, is pulled to an artsy party where he locks eyes with another guest in an overcoat, played by Léa Seydoux. A wordless encounter in a basement ends with the two switching bodies.
Terrifier Trilogy Gives Art the Clown a Halloween Run
Art the Clown is a Halloween monster who never needed a major studio to get there. Three nights, three films, one grinning mime: that is the pitch for the Terrifier trilogy’s return to theaters, and it is exactly how Art should be met. He was built for a dark room full of strangers who flinch at the same moment. Presented by the video game Dead by Daylight, the screenings land in select theaters on three consecutive nights.
Remembering Jeremiah Kipp, Indie Horror Director
Independent horror runs on people who keep making things when nobody is paying attention, and Jeremiah Kipp was one of them. The filmmaker, who directed the video game adaptation The Mortuary Assistant, has died. The Long Island International Film Expo announced his passing, saying Kipp died on Tuesday, October 13, and attributing the news to his life partner of seven years, Lindsay Katt. No cause of death has been shared.
Beware Boiúna Slithers Home on November 3
Somewhere a Lionsgate marketing team looked at a title with a diacritic and a Portuguese-adjacent legend and said yes. Good for them. Beware Boiúna is a mouthful, but the movie underneath it is the kind of creature feature horror fans keep asking for and rarely get. Lionsgate is expected to release the film on digital purchase and rental on November 3, 2026. It premiered at Fantastic Fest, and the title has changed along the way, from Titan to Boiúna: Legend of the Amazon before landing here.
Afterlife With Archie and the Cameo Problem
Archie Comics was never supposed to be scary. That is exactly why Afterlife with Archie worked. The comic took the cleanest, most freckled corner of American pop culture and let the dead walk through it, and the shock of watching a soda-shop world get chewed up did most of the work before a single page turned red. So it tracks that a former Riverdale lead wants a seat at the table.
Carpenter Says Nobody Has Cracked The Thing’s Ending
Forty-four years of fan theories, and John Carpenter says you have all missed it. That is either the greatest troll in horror history or the most honest thing a director can say about his own ending. I lean toward both. In an Academy interview, Carpenter dismissed the theories that have grown around his 1982 film. “Every idea people have is not the right one. I know the right one,” he said. Asked whether anyone had guessed correctly, he added, “It’s right in the movie too. There is a big clue.
Trauma Or, Monsters All Unites Fessenden’s Monsters
Hollywood has tried to build a Universal monster crossover for years, usually with a budget the size of a small country and a franchise plan nobody asked for. Larry Fessenden has been quietly building one on his own terms for decades. Trauma Or, Monsters All is where it comes together, and the new trailer suggests it is both messier and more human than any studio mash-up would dare to be. Dark Sky Films has released the trailer for the film, produced by Glass Eye Pix.
Jennifer’s Body 2 Should Mourn the Monster
Everyone remembers Jennifer Check at her loudest: strutting through the hallway, wielding a boy-eating appetite like a dare. Diablo Cody, it turns out, remembers her at her quietest. That is the most promising thing about the news that Jennifer’s Body 2 is coming, because a sequel built on the predator would be a repeat. A sequel built on the person underneath could be something new. Cody has said she has finished writing the film.
Seth Rogen Says Anything But Ghosts Tops Obsession
Second films are where hot directors go to find out whether the first one was luck. Curry Barker, the filmmaker behind this year’s phenomenon Obsession, now has a very famous early viewer telling the world his follow-up is the real thing. That is a high-stakes endorsement, and it pushes Anything But Ghosts to the top of the 2027 watch list.
The Mummy: Book of the Dead Promises Real Dread
A title change is a small thing until it tells you which movie a studio is trying to make. Universal has confirmed that the fourth Mummy film, long carried around as The Mummy 4, is now called The Mummy: Book of the Dead. Those words do something the franchise has not done since 1999. They point at the grave instead of the treasure hunt. The studio also released a new image carrying the title, but nothing else about the story. Treat any claim about tone as inference for now.
Nosferatu Gets a Piano Score Built on Longing
Most scores for silent horror try to scare you on the film’s behalf. Pianist Tom Roberts did something riskier with Nosferatu: he wrote music that is willing to be beautiful, and let the image supply the dread. Roberts was asked to score the 1922 silent classic for its 100th anniversary, with a screening for the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society on March 4, 2022. He assumed he would be writing something scary. Then he watched the whole film for the first time and changed his mind.
IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2 Promises a New Pennywise
Pennywise has worn a lot of faces: the storm drain grin, the balloon in the window, the thing that becomes whatever you fear most. According to the person running the show, the 1935 version will be different again. That is a bold promise for a character who has been rebuilt on screen more times than almost any monster in the genre.
Cannibal Holocaust Gets a Six-Disc 4K Treatment
No horror film has been argued over, banned, and sneaked around for longer than Cannibal Holocaust, which makes the news that it is getting a lavish collector’s box feel almost like a plot twist. The film that taught a generation what “found footage” could do to a viewer’s stomach is about to look better than it ever has. Per Grindhouse Releasing, the six-disc Cannibal Holocaust Ultimate Edition arrives on 4K UHD on November 24.
Fears to Fathom Heads to the Big Screen
Horror games are notoriously hard to translate. The best of them make you complicit: you choose to open the door, you decide to keep walking. Strip that out and what is left is often a series of jump scares with a logo on it. Fears to Fathom is about to find out whether its brand of ordinary-situation dread can survive the trip to a screen. Scarlet Stallone and creator Mukul Negi, who works under the name Rayll, have partnered to develop potential movie and TV projects based on the series.
Recreational pot zoning talks continued to February
BURLINGTON - Recreational cannabis sales in town will depend on the residents. The original zoning bylaw amendment presented to the Planning Board earlier this year was withdrawn by the proponents, Town Meeting members Will Seagaard and Alex Rutfield. A new version was unveiled at the board’s meeting last Thursday night, with a changed overlay that included previous zoning parcels for recreational marijuana sales removed and a few properties added.
Interim change leaves students, especially engineering students, hanging out to dry
In the midst of academic advising, Calvin made an announcement that starting next academic year, students will no longer be required to take any interim classes to graduate. Many students are likely celebrating this news, as interim has been an opportunity for students to take courses outside of their major or core requirements. This news, however, came with a second change that has left several students worried about their ability to complete their planned programs for the following year.

Batman: Arkham Knight Xbox One
Arkham Knight runs on a modified version of the Unreal Engine, and as you'd expect, is rather pretty. The game's open world is apparently five times the size of Arkham City, offering a greater level of detail with zero loading breaks. The cast - a mixture of new and returning characters - are a handsome bunch, with one character accounting for more polygons than the entirety of the Arkham Asylum environment.

Disney's Terrible Scheduling
Has it occurred to anyone else how Disney's release schedule seems all over the place this year? First you've got three live-action remakes (Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King) releasing in relatively close proximity (March/June/July). Then you've got Toy Story 4 in June, immediately competing with Aladdin for the same audience. I really feel like Disney should have pushed back one or two of these releases to next year, considering that 2020 looks relatively sparse in comparison.
Toxic Avenger Remake
Variety report that Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to star in the new Toxic Avenger, but not as the hideous hero himself. -- it seems hes in negotiations for another lead role in the reboot of the crazy '80s flick.
