Back in January of 2022, we heard that Insidious franchise creator James Wan was producing a “Back to the Future meets Aliens” project that was set to be written and directed by Jeremy Slater, creator of the The Exorcist television series and head writer on the Marvel / Disney+ show Moon Knight. As the Wan / Blumhouse collaboration Insidious: The Red Door, the fifth film in that series, made its way out into the world in 2023, it was revealed that Slater’s movie was a spin-off called Thread: An Insidious Tale, which had Mandy Moore (This Is Us) and Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals) on board to star in it. That movie never seemed to go into production, but last year Sony announced an August 29, 2025 release date for the next Insidious movie – not Thread, but Insidious 6. That project hasn’t gone into production yet, either. So it wasn’t a surprise to hear Sony was...

Thanksgiving—a time for gratitude, cherished family gatherings, football, and praying five pounds of over-indulgence miraculously provides nourishment for our bodies. But beneath the surface of this warm and festive holiday lies a darker, more sinister side. Today, we delve into the macabre as we carve into some of the best the holiday has to offer. Whether you crave campy thrills, gory chills, or dark humor, this list offers a feast of frights to satisfy every horror fan. Let’s dig in.

10. Home Sweet Home (1981)

We start our countdown with Home Sweet Home, a low-budget slasher from the early ‘80s that exemplifies the chaotic energy of the genre’s heyday. The film revolves around an escaped mental patient named Jay Jones, a hulking psychopath who injects himself with Pcp and goes on a killing spree. His path of destruction leads him to the Bradley family’s secluded home, where they...

Erica Ash, who spent two seasons on the Fox sketch comedy show Mad TV and also stood out on the BET reality spoof Real Husbands of Hollywood and the Starz comedy-drama Survivor’s Remorse, has died. She was 46.

Ash died Sunday in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer, her publicist Elizabeth Much told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Erica was an amazing woman and talented entertainer who touched countless lives with her sharp wit, humor and genuine zest for life,” her family said in a statement. “Her memory will live eternally in our hearts.”

She also starred as the fierce public defender Gwen Sullivan on the 2018 BET drama In Contempt.

Ash first made an impression by starring on the first two seasons (2006-08) of Logo’s The Big Gay Sketch Show, produced by Rosie O’Donnell, and she appeared on the big screen in films including Scary Movie V (2013), Uncle Drew (2018), The Big Bend...

Erica Ash, who starred on the Starz dramedy Survivor’s Remorse and the BET series Real Husbands of Hollywood and In Contempt and appeared in dozens of other films and TV shows including Mad TV, has died. She was 46.

Her family confirmed that Ash died after a long cancer battle but didn’t not provide other details. “Erica was an amazing woman and talented entertainer who touched countless lives with her sharp wit, humor and genuine zest for life,” her family said in a statement. “Her memory will live eternally in our hearts.”

Born on September 19, 1977, in Florida, Ash broke out as a regular on the first two seasons of Logo’s The Big Gay Sketch Show in 2006-07 and then Fox’s Mad TV. Into the 2010s, she worked in films including Scary Movie V, Horror Noire, Sister Code, Kristy, two 2017 Christmas pics and the 2018 basketball comedy Uncle Drew, starring Kyrie Irving,...

Hot take: there's no such thing as too many home-invasion horror movies. Sometimes, they just hit the spot. While you're gearing up for The Strangers: Chapter 1, a reboot of 2008's menacing instant classic The Strangers, now's the perfect time to reach back a decade and catch one you might have missed. Kristy, a 2014 horror/thriller that flew mostly under the radar, hits all the chords that a relatively short and easily digestible genre member should. Directed by Olly Blackburn and led by Haley Bennett, who carries nearly every moment of the film entirely on her own, Kristy takes home-invasion horror to the collegiate level. Stranded by choice in the dorm buildings of her university over Thanksgiving break, Justine (Bennett) is stalked and hunted by a group of sadistic killers who aim to eliminate the "Kristys" of the world. Kristy is a term they've coined, a play on "Christians," to represent...

While Thanksgiving is not traditionally associated with horror, there are several Thanksgiving-themed horror movies that range from comedic to intense and gruesome. Some notable Thanksgiving horror movies include Thankskilling, a horror comedy featuring a killer talking turkey, The Oath, a dark political satire about a family gathering turned violent, and Black Friday, a gory horror comedy starring Bruce Campbell. Other Thanksgiving horror movies include The Boneyard, a horror comedy that starts out serious and becomes more ludicrous, Blood Rage, an infamously gruesome Thanksgiving slasher, and Kristy, a terrifying dorm invasion horror movie.

While Eli Roth’s new horror film, Thanksgiving, is a huge success, it's far from the first scary movie centered on the titular holiday. It's true that Thanksgiving is not typically associated with fear or fright. Halloween is an entire holiday devoted to all things spooky and dark. On the other end of the spectrum, Christmas is so...

Haley Bennett is an American actress. She is best known for her roles in Music and Lyrics (2007), The Girl on the Train (2016) and Swallow (2019).

Haley Bennett Biography: Early Life, Age, Family, Education

Haley Bennett (Haley Keeling) was born on January 7, 1988 (Haley Bennett: Age 35) in Fort Myers, Florida to Leilani and Ronald Keeling. When she was six years old her parents divorced and she moved to Ohio with her father. The two would regularly move around the state and Bennett said, “There was no time when I lived anywhere longer than two years. I was always a social outcast. Maybe I didn’t care what people thought because I [thought], ‘Well, I probably won’t stick around here for too long.'”

When living with her father, Bennett attended Stow-Munroe Falls High School and Barbizon Modeling School. When she lived with her mother, she attended Barron F. Collier High School.

When Bennett...

You'd think Halloween would be the holiday that the lion's share of holiday-themed horror movies would center around. But that would have to be Christmas, which has inspired the likes of classics such as "Black Christmas," "Silent Night, Deadly Night," "Gremlins," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," the incredible "Tales From The Crypt" segment "And All Through The House," and so many more.

Maybe it's because Christmas is supposed to represent the pinnacle of goodness and charity that mucking it all up with blood, guts, and terror is just too perverse to resist. But of all the other holidays on the calendar, Thanksgiving gets my vote for the most untapped potential, horror-wise. Pilgrims? Unseasoned food? Family coming to my house? Wake me up when the nightmare is over.

While there has been a solid assortment of Thanksgiving-themed shockers over the years, from "Kristy" to "Séance" to the delightfully campy "Into The Dark" film "Pilgrim,...

No, you don’t have to do a double-take. You did just see Haley Bennett in The Magnificent Seven, and now she’s back only a few short weeks later with another blockbuster affair, Tate Taylor’s The Girl On The Train. The Paula Hawkins adaptation also stars Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux and Luke Evans, but Bennett gets to star as arguably the most important cog in Hawkins’ twisty, mysterious machine. For those of you who read the book during its best-seller run, Bennett plays the part of Megan Hipwell. You know how things go.

For those who don’t, understand that Tate Taylor’s suburban nightmare is never what it seems. The film itself has screened to some pretty rocky reviews so far, so it looks like I’m in the minority of critics who believe The Girl On The Train is a homegrown story of passion...

Writer Anthony Jaswinski is one of the hottest up-and-coming talents in the horror genre, with films like Vanishing on 7th Street, Kristy, and the upcoming Satanic and The Shallows already under his belt. I suppose it should come as no… Continue Reading →

The post Hot Horror Script Mary Being Pitched as The Shining Meets The Conjuring appeared first on Dread Central.

The decision to catch just one last wave almost costs Nancy (Blake Lively) her life in the first of two clips from Sony's new thriller The Shallows, hitting theaters June 29. This clip shows Nancy interacting with two fellow surfers who plan on calling it a day, when Nancy reveals she wants to stay out for just one more run. Little does she know that a deadly shark is lurking in these seemingly-peaceful waters.

The second clip , which surfaced on YouTube, features Nancy showing off her surfing skills for these strangers, before this killer shark is seen stalking its prey. With just a few weeks left until The Shallows hits theaters on June 29, it isn't known if another trailer will be released from this upcoming thriller. Blake Lively leads a minimalist cast that also includes Oscar Jaenada, Sedona Legge and Brett Cullen.

This taut thrill-ride centers on Nancy (Blake Lively), who is surfing on a secluded beach, when she finds herself on the feeding ground of a great white shark. Though she is stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills, requiring all of Nancy's ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude. We learned in an earlier trailer that Nancy has come to this beach after her mother passed away, but there isn't much else we know about the story. This project was formerly known as In the Deep, which previously had Louis Leterrier set to direct.

Sony Pictures has set a June 29 release date, which falls on the Wednesday before The Bfg, The Purge: Election Year and The Legend of Tarzan are set to hit theaters. Jaume Collet-Serra directs The Shallows. The filmmaker was first introduced to audiences with his 2005 remake House of Wax, but he has become better known for his collaborations with action icon Liam Neeson. They first worked together on 2011's Unknown, before reuniting on Non-Stop and last year's Run All Night. They will next team-up for The Commuter, which arrives in 2017.

Anthony Jaswinski wrote The Shallows, a script that wound up on the coveted Black List. He also wrote the 2010 thriller Vanishing on 7th Street, Kristy and his directorial debut Killing Time. Weimaraner Republic Pictures partners Lynn Harris and Matti Leshem are producing. Take a look at these new clips from The Shallows, and stay tuned for more as we get closer to the June 29 release date.

Earlier this year, Ryan Reynolds proved that R-rated superhero movies can hit it big at the box office, with his smash hit Deadpool shattering records left and right. Later this month, the actor's wife Blake Lively is hoping for a hit of her own with the upcoming shark thriller The Shallows, which hits theaters on June 29. Today we have a final trailer, which takes a unique approach to the journey Blake Lively's character Nancy must endure.

Sony Pictures debuted this new trailer on YouTube, which features plenty of footage but no dialogue from Blake Lively. Instead, the footage is matched with audio from a 1951 educational video entitled Developing Self-Reliance, with the narrator talking about how developing skills for self-reliance takes hard work. The footage shows Nancy surfing by herself, when a massive shark knocks her off her board, forcing her to take refuge on a rock, while this deadly predator circles around her.

In the 41 years since Jaws hit theaters, there have been countless thrillers where people must square off against a killer shark. The great white vs. man genre gets a new entry this summer with Sony Pictures' The Shallows, which puts a new twist on the shark movie. We got our first look at this beachside drama back in March. Today, we have an all-new trailer that gives us a pretty great look at the star of the movie, and we're not talking about Blake Lively.

The Sony Pictures YouTube page delivered this latest sneak peek, which will have you thinking twice before surfing in a remote locale. This taut thrill-ride centers on Nancy (Blake Lively), who is surfing on a secluded beach, when she finds herself on the feeding ground of a great white shark. Though she is stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills,...

• Harry Potter Meets The Others Meets The Purge.

Synopsis

With the rest of the campus home for the Thanksgiving holiday, Justine and a few of her friends spend the weekend in their college dormitory: studying, relaxing and blissfully unaware of the terror that is about to unfold outside in the cold.

Suddenly, confronted by a gang of violent outcasts, Justine’s quiet long weekend becomes one long lesson in survival as she and her classmates are terrorized in increasingly bizarre and brutal ways,...

Blumhouse Productions is best known for its contributions to the horror genre, with such frightfests as Sinister, Insidious and The Purge in its body of work. But if you take one look at its upcoming slate, you’ll begin to understand that Blumhouse is looking to broaden its horizons in a big way. One of the most curious projects in the works over at the studio is a revenge Western called In A Valley of Violence. Though Ti West (The House of the Devil) scribed and also directed, the film still seems more than a little out of the way for the horror-leaning studio. That doesn’t mean, however, that we’re not looking forward to it, particularly with the cast West has lined up. Today, James Ransone joined the film, which already boasts Ethan Hawke, John Travolta, Karen Gillan and Taissa Farmiga.

I’m anticipating that additional details about...

The film Kristy has been developed under a few names. Originally, this film was titled Random. Later, it was renamed to Satanic and it has been retitled to its first name, Kristy. Recently, a trailer has been released for this horror title. The clip shows Justine (Haley Bennett) alone on a college campus; but, a few sychophants have remained behind. The trailer is a compelling one, which shows one woman fighting against the many. For more on the story, Justine is confronted by a group of violent outcasts. Several students, on an lonely college campus, must band together and fight against this brutal gang. But, who are these sadists? And, what do they want? Justine will have to search for answers to these questions or become just another victim. The film has been developed by director Oliver Blackburn (Donkey Punch), from Anthony Jaswinski's (Vanishing on 7th Street) script. As well,...

BlairWitch.de scored a look at the promo which you can watch here. Kristy, which also stars Haley Bennett and Lucas Till, was directed by Donkey Punch's Oliver Blackburn.

Looking to spice up her humpday, Ashley Greene headed over to the grand opening shindig for Hooray Henry’s nightclub last night (August 7).

The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” babe was joined by a mystery male and looked super cute in a colorful patterned tank top with jeans and black heels as she strolled over to the West Hollywood hot spot.

Ashley Greene has replaced Anna Kendrick on Zach Braff's new movie Wish I Was Here.

The actress will take over from her fellow Twilight Saga star in the Kickstarter-funded project.

Braff announced the swap to the campaign's backers.

"Well, since you're having your first shot as being movie producer, it's time you experience something that happens a lot: scheduling conflicts," he wrote.

"We've tried our hardest, but we've been unable to figure out the lovely Anna Kendrick's scheduling conflicts with another movie she's doing. This happens all the time in movie-land.

"Putting the shooting schedule together is like planning 25 weddings: each day has so many moving pieces and locations. I love Anna so much and can't wait to work with her one day."

Braff described Greene as "gorgeous", "charming" and "hilarious".

Bob Clendenin, Matt Winston and Alexander Chaplin have also been added to the cast, which already features Kate Hudson,...

Ashley Greene has replaced her former Twilight Saga cohort Anna Kendrick in Wish I Was Here, the film Zach Braff is making with a little help from a Kickstarter funding campaign. She joins Braff, Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin and Josh Gad. Greene will next be seen in Cbgb, the film about the famed punk rock club, and Random for The Weinstein Company.

Haley Bennett has been cast in The Equalizer.

The Marley & Me actress will join Denzel Washington, Chloe Moretz, Melissa Leo, Marton Csokas and David Meunier in Antoine Fuqua's Sony Pictures film, reports Deadline.

The film is based on the 1980s television show, which starred Edward Woodward as retired intelligence officer Robert McCall, who has a habit of helping people in trouble.

Bennett also featured in The Haunting of Molly Hartley. She will next be seen in Terence Malick's untitled film opposite Christian Bale, Kristy and Things People Do.

Getting in some quality time together, Ashley Greene and her boyfriend Josh Henderson spent the day in West Hollywood on Saturday (April 6).

The cute couple kept it casual, with the “Breaking Dawn” babe in denim shorts and a white tank top, as they strolled through Sunset Plaza before grabbing a bite to eat at Café Med.

Switching to professional news, It is already shaping up to be a busy year for Ms. Greene, as she has two movies slated to make their debuts during 2013.

Historical drama “Cbgb,” about the nightclub of the same name, and the horror film “Random,” about a college girl targeted by a group of outcasts, will both hit the big screen later this year.

The daring new movie from the director of Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond The Pines is a sweeping emotional drama powerfully exploring the unbreakable bond between fathers and sons.

Luke (Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling) is a high-wire motorcycle stunt performer who travels with the carnival from town to town.
