The 10 Greatest ‘Castlevania’ Games of All Time!

When it comes to horror-themed video games, few are as revered as Konami’s classic Castlevania franchise. While the series has had its fair share of missteps (anybody remember Castlevania 64 or Castlevania: Legends on the Game Boy?), by and large the bulk of the monster-slayin’ titles have been pretty good-to-downright fantastic. Since dozens upon dozens of games have been released on virtually every system you can think of, it’s no surprise some of the absolute best games available on any platform proudly bear the Castlevania namesake, whether we’re talking about the NES, Super Nintendo and Genesis or obscurer consoles like the TurboGrafx-CD, MSX2 and the X68000. With the venerable series soon set to arrive on Netflix as an animated program, what better … [Read More...]

Neil Marshall Directing R-rated ‘Hellboy’ Reboot!

There has been talk of a third Hellboy for almost a decade now. In fact, back in February Guillermo del Toro, director of the two films, broke all of our hearts when he said there was a 100% chance Hellboy 3 would never happen. He was right. In what will be one of the biggest stories of the year, Mike Mignola, creator of the “Hellboy” comics, took to his socials to break the news that they’re rebooting the franchise with Neil Marshall at the helm. The news didn’t stop there as he revealed that David Harbour of “Stranger Things” fame (pictured below) would be starring as the title character! Oh, and it will be “R”-rated! Marshall is a genre favorite among Bloody … [Read More...]

New “The Mist” Trailer is Way More Gruesome!

Few things are more beautiful than destruction. When the trailer for “The Mist” hit last month, we were kind of surprised to see no creature action on display; rather, the trailer looked to be presenting a show about a sort of rage virus that the titular mist brings with it. That may indeed be the spin the series is putting on Stephen King’s tale, but a new trailer out of the MTV Awards promises some nasty creature action. Check it out! The latest teaser for #TheMist, as seen on the #MTVAwards. Series premiere Thursday, June 22nd on @Spike. pic.twitter.com/8mEWccMJsE — The Mist (@TheMist) May 8, 2017 In the series… A small town family is torn apart by a brutal crime.

Huge news this Thursday afternoon as Fox just announced the return of “The X-Files” with a 10 episode order, which is four more than the Season 10 revival.

Ridley Scott Says Future ‘Alien’ Prequels *Could* Digitally De-Age Sigourney Weaver

If Peter Cushing can be brought back to life, anything is possible. It’s no secret by now that Ridley Scott is planning a new series of prequels that will lead directly into the events of 1979’s Alien. Prometheus kicked off that universe, so to speak, and next month’s Alien: Covenant will be exploring those connections even further. At this time, the plan is for two more prequels to follow in the wake of Covenant – but will we ever see Ripley again? In an interview found in the new issue of Empire Mag, Ridley Scott was asked about the possibility of a future Alien film using advanced digital technology to literally de-age Sigourney Weaver so that she could reprise the role of a … [Read More...]

To whet fans’ appetites, Bloody Disgusting will be streaming LIVE from the Dallas location tomorrow night, Saturday, April 15th, via our official Facebook page! To celebrate the occasion, we also have some exclusive behind-the-scenes photos that show all of the bloodshed to expect in The Littlest Reich, hailing from Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wiklund, the duo behind the deliciously gory Blood Runs Cold and Wither. The most intriguing image, however, is that of the promise of an event remembering the 30th anniversary of the Toulon murders. This is interesting for one reason in particular – it confirms that this new … [Read More...]

Official Trailer Provides First Look at Spike’s “The Mist”

Fear. Human. Nature. Ten years after the Frank Darabont-directed film depressed us all with its shocking ending, Spike is bringing “The Mist” to the small screen with the network’s own adaptation of the Stephen King novella. The series from executive producer and writer Christian Torpe has been described as a “twisted cousin” to the source material, and the 10-episode first season premieres in June. On tap today is the official trailer for the series, which feels both familiar and way different than what we’ve read/seen before. Oddly enough, there are no otherworldly monsters in this first look at the small screen reimagining. Rather, the threat seems to be the titular mist itself, which looks to be playing tricks on the human … [Read More...]

Best Worst Sequel ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night 2’ Turns 30 Years Old Today

Happy #NationalGarbageDay, friends. In the annals of bad horror sequels, none are more infamous than Silent Night, Deadly Night 2. Released in 1987, three years after the first film came out, the Lee Harry-directed sequel was, in hindsight, tailor made for internet obsession. Driven by an insanely over the top performance from Eric Freeman, SNDN 2 was recently embraced as an unintentionally hilarious gem by a new generation of fans, becoming internet famous decades after its initial release. The hunt for Freeman, who seemed to be hiding due to embarrassment, became the stuff of internet legend. How did Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 become the movie it ended up being? And why is so much of the runtime devoted to recapping footage from its predecessor? It’s a fascinating story. … [Read More...]

‘Cult of Chucky’ Will Be the Goriest ‘Child’s Play’ Movie

Move over Jason, Freddy, and even Michael, I’m happy as long as I get a new Child’s Play sequel every few years. Chucky, a doll inhabited by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, has been murdering since 1988. Over the course of nearly 30 years, Chucky has been revived time and time again, setting up one of the most unique and bizarre franchises in horror history. Next up is the seventh film, Cult of Chucky, which is a direct continuation of 2013’s Curse of Chucky. Monsterpalooza, which is currently ongoing in Pasadena, CA, hosted the cast and crew of Cult of Chucky, welcoming writer/director/franchise creator Don Mancini, along with stars Jennifer Tilly and Fiona Dourif, and effects legend Tony Gardner. While their … [Read More...]

R.I.P. Legendary Horror Artist Bernie Wrightson Has Died

We woke up this morning to a flood of incredible, immediately recognizable pieces of art on our social media feeds. Drawings of Frankenstein’s monster. Drawings of Swamp Thing. It didn’t take us long to realize why. We are incredibly saddened to report that Bernie Wrightson, hugely influential horror artist and co-creator of Swamp Thing, has died at the age of 68. Bernie Wrightson, who announced his retirement this past January as a result of the battle with brain cancer that he just lost, was nothing short of a horror legend; some of his most notable work includes the poster for Creepshow and his illustrations for Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf, the novella that became Silver Bullet. Wrightson also illustrated the graphic novel adaptation … [Read More...]

Here’s the Hellish New Jason Designed By Tom Savini for “Friday the 13th: The Game”

Not only will you be able to play as every version of Jason Voorhees in this year’s “Friday the 13th: The Game,“ but as we recently told you, makeup FX legend Tom Savini even designed a brand new Jason for you to slay horny teens with. Savini of course designed the original Jason, seen in Friday the 13th (1980), as well as The Final Chapter‘s Jason, so there’s no better man for the job of redesigning the horror icon than he. Not surprisingly, his new Jason is BADASS. Shown off out of PAX East 2017, Savini’s Jason is the first new Jason to be created since the 2009 Friday the 13th remake, and the model reflects Savini’s interpretation of what might … [Read More...]

[Editorial] A History of Horror at the Academy Awards

Being a fan of horror movies can be a remarkably thankless experience. Many people misunderstand or even actively dislike our appreciation of the darker side of film, with some simply considering the genre to be intrinsically inferior based on a few bad experiences. However, one of the least pleasant aspects of being a horror enthusiast is dealing with the inevitable snubbing of our favorite scary movies year after year when awards season comes around. That’s not to say that we (or filmmakers) need validation from mainstream festivals and golden statuettes in order to respect the horror genre, but the yearly snubbing of amazing horror films is doing a disservice to the careers of the artists that make the genre worth watching in the first place. Some … [Read More...]

‘Near Dark’ Highlighted Everything That Was So Special About Bill Paxton

Two fan-favorite vampire movies were released in 1987, just two months apart. One of them is my personal favorite vampire movie ever made. The other one is The Lost Boys. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, Near Dark is something of a companion piece to James Cameron’s Aliens, released one year prior. Granted, the films have nothing to do with one another, but what they do share is a few key cast members – Cameron and Bigelow were dating at the time, and when Aliens wrapped, three actors leapt from outer space to the southwest. Lance Henriksen and Jenette Goldstein, who played Bishop and Vasquez in Aliens, star in the horror-western, but the real star of the show was Bill Paxton, who absolutely stole said show as … [Read More...]

R.I.P. Bill Paxton Has Died at 61

We are beside ourselves this morning, as the family has reported that acting legend Bill Paxton, just 61 years old, has unexpectedly passed away due to complications from surgery. With his undeniable screen presence, Paxton has brought to the screen some of the most memorable characters in the history of the horror genre, perhaps most notably the bug-hunting, wise-cracking Private Hudson in James Cameron’s Aliens. Just one year later, Paxton portrayed Severen in Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark, another show-stealing, larger-than-life character bursting with personality. Paxton’s other genre credits include The Terminator, Predator 2, and my personal favorite “Tales from the Crypt” episode, ‘People Who Live in Brass Hearses.’ Paxton made his directorial debut with horror film Frailty, which … [Read More...]

Here’s What Tobe Hooper Almost Did With ‘The Thing’ Before Carpenter Took Over

The road to 1982’s classic was a long one. As most of you reading this are well aware, John Carpenter’s The Thing is often referred to as a remake, and that’s because there was a 1951 film titled The Thing from Another World that had much the same general concept. The two films, in actuality, are vastly different adaptations of John W. Campbell Jr.’s short story Who Goes There?, published way back in 1938. Nearly a decade before Carpenter came on board and worked his magic, producer Stuart Cohen saw the potential in re-adapting Who Goes There?, a long development process that dates back to the early ’70s. Cohen, who first read the novella as a kid, was hungry to bring it … [Read More...]

Fox Just Released an ‘Alien: Covenant’ Short Film That Introduces the Crew!

Party with the Covenant crew before they have their last supper… While we thought we were getting brand new footage from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant tonight, Twentieth Century Fox had some even better in mind. Yesterday they promised a new look at the crew during tonight’s episode of “Legion”, instead they dropped a link to an entire short film. This prologue, titled “Last Supper”, was conceived by Ridley Scott and 3AM, directed by Luke Scott, and produced by RSA Films. It introduces the crew of the mission as they gather for a final meal before entering cryosleep. Set aboard the Covenant, a colonization ship on its way to a remote planet to form a new human settlement, the main crew (all couples) and their … [Read More...]

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride Rebooting ‘Halloween’ for October 2018

Well this is fresh and unexpected! Last year, Blumhouse and John Carpenter announced that they would together be bringing Michael Myers back from the dead for a new Halloween film, which at the time was dated for release on Halloween 2017. As you may have guessed, it’s not going to meet that date. The good news? After many months of silence, we’ve got a very exciting new update on the project. Carpenter himself, who is creatively involved in the making of the film, just took to Facebook to announce that David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) and Danny McBride (“Eastbound & Down”) have joined the Miramax, Trancas International Films and Blumhouse production. Gordon Green will direct from a screenplay penned by he and McBride. The … [Read More...]
