Did you know that Fangoria released a horror movie in the 90s in which a vampire is let loose from an underwater crypt, creating a wave of vamps who sleep submerged in water with their lungs floating outside their body? It's called CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, starring Karen Black (on Tubi).

Look. I think you should head to @bloody-disgusting.com to read @thewolfman.bsky.social's report on his stay at the POLTERGEIST. At the very least, I implore you to watch this his tour video. It's so fun! 👇

Filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner borrowed a page from Jaws and went fully practical with the menacing shark in WWII thriller BEAST OF WAR.

Formation Effects' work was so effective that the cast and crew were scared to get into the water:

You are spot on. They were! The director did confirm that he was holding treats or tennis balls off camera in scary scenes.

Out today on Shudder is V/H/S/HALLOWEEN. One of its segments was inspired by SFX legend Rick Baker, who also appears in the anthology, and pitched as an R-rated Goosebumps episode:

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Please don’t purchase this BFI 4K of Herzog’s remake of “Nosferatu”.

Not only is the cover art redone with A.I. but the entire film is A.I. scrubbed beyond recognition.

Easily one of the worst releases of the year.

Let’s hope Scream Factory’s version is better.
