We’re not even a year into our relaunch of Screambox and we’ve already unleashed a flurry of horror goodies with no end in sight.

May is here and with it comes a handful of new films that are joining the horror streaming service, including the 1980s classic Night of the Demons, the must-see ultra-gory Project Wolf Hunting, the Halloween-themed slasher sequel The Barn 2, and two Screambox Originals, The Ancestral and Creepypasta!

In 1987, he wrote and directed what might be his final masterpiece, the giallo-tinged slasher Opera, arguably his most technically accomplished—and bloodiest—film.
