A lot of children’s stories and beloved characters from children’s stories have been getting the horror treatment lately. Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Popeye the Sailor Man, Bambi, Peter Pan, and more have all become bloodthirsty maniacs. A few months ago, we heard that director Bradley Stryker was about to go into production on a horror film called Aladdin: The Monkey’s Paw – and now, our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that two more Aladdin horror films, completely separate from Stryker’s project, are in the works! Writer/director Brett Bentman is gearing up to tell a two-part horror story with the films Aladdin and Aladdin’s Revenge, which have scream queen Devanny Pinn on board to star in them!

Aladdin and Aladdin’s Revenge will be filming back-to-back, with production scheduled to begin in Oklahoma this month. They’re aiming for 2026 release dates. Coming our way from B22 Films,...

Exclusive: Vanished, the indie action thriller from Randy Charach, is leading Glass House Distribution’s Cannes Film Festival slate.

The pic comprises one of three Glasshouse has acquired in a worldwide rights deal with Charach Productions – the other two being David Lynch-inspired horror Texas Nightmare and action drama Clutch. Charach produces all three, with Michael Merino or Jared Cohn attached as directors.

The film follows Jack (Charach), a high-level defense contractor whose life is thrown into chaos when his daughter is kidnapped and held for ransom.

We’ve been waiting years for director Marcel Walz’s Pretty Boy, a follow-up to his 2019 “stylish, dreamy slasher” Blind (watch it Here, read my review at This Link) – and now, finally, we know exactly when it’s going to make its way out into the world, as Lionsgate has announced that they’re giving Pretty Boy a VOD release on May 27th! The trailer can be seen in the embed above.

Described as a “gloriously melodramatic suspense slasher,” Pretty Boy is about a masked killer named Pretty Boy, who takes a blind woman from her home in the Hollywood hills and crashes a Valentine’s Day party where the bloodshed continues as he runs amok with his butcher knife. Expect disco lights, glitter, a killer soundtrack, and lots and lots of gore! Here’s the synopsis: Suffering from blindness after a botched laser surgery, Hollywood actress Faye is abducted...

Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep closes out the trilogy writer/director Chad Ferrin began with The Deep Ones and continued in H. P. Lovecraft’s The Old Ones. This time out Ambrose London, a world famous expert on dreams, is summoned to Arkham Asylum (no not where The Joker is kept between Batman films), to study the case of James Fhelleps/Joe Slater.

The story begins in 1998 when Jim Fhellepsis admitted to prison for a crime he claims he didn’t commit. His cellmate Sturgis attempts to force him to give him a Bj. As horrific as that sounds it gets worse when what pops out of his pants looks more like a pissed-off lamprey with a mouth full of teeth. He promptly...

Horror streaming channel Nyx UK is set to deliver a packed month of blood-curdling delights this March, including a tribute to the legendary David Cronenberg, a chilling nod to Nosferatu’s 102nd anniversary, and a slate of UK TV premieres. From real-life horrors to cult classics, the channel is gearing up for a month of terror that celebrates both established legends and emerging talent in the genre.

Marking International Women’s Day on March 8, Nyx UK will present the channel premiere of Devanny Pinn’s The Black Mass at 9pm, a harrowing look at the 1978 sorority house attacks committed by Ted Bundy. Pinn’s take on the case shifts the perspective away from the killer, instead focusing on the victims and their horrific ordeal. Following this, at 10:45pm, Nyx will air Luna Wolf’s short film Siren, a psychological horror piece exploring identity and trauma through an unnerving and deeply personal lens.

In the wake of Popeye’s Revenge, which sailed onto VOD outlets last week, director Robert Michael Ryan’s Popeye the Slayer Man is on our way soon from Vantage Media.

As a fresh reminder, there are two different Popeye horror movies headed our way, one of which is titled Popeye’s Revenge. The other one is titled Popeye the Slayer Man, exploring an alternate backstory for the legendary sailor, and Deadline brings us an update this afternoon.

Deadline details in today’s report, “A North American theatrical release is being lined up for Spring 2025 via Vantage Media.” Additionally, the outlet notes, “Vmi Worldwide has boarded worldwide sales on horror Popeye the Slayer Man, which will have its world premiere screening in the market at next month’s EFM in Berlin.”

Only monsters can kill monsters in Round the Decay. The folk-horror creature feature opens in select theaters on January 31.

In a unique approach that aims to leverage demand for indie films on the big screen, Dreamscape Productions is selling ticket voucher codes that can be redeemed through Atom Tickets.

Drawing inspiration from Pumpkinhead and The Descent, the indie film is written and directed by Adam Newman. Greg McDougall designed the practical creature.

The plot follows a young woman as she returns to the sleepy town of Newport’s Valley two years after a devastating tragedy and uncovers an all-consuming secret.

Victoria Mirrer leads an ensemble that includes Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night), Sienna Hubert-Ross (Terrifier 3), Melody Kay (The NeverEnding Story III), Phil Duran (“Breaking Bad”), Sarah Nicklin (The Black Mass), Roger Clark (Red Dead Redemption II), and Rachel Pizzolato (“Mythbusters Jr.”) as the Wrexsoul.

The Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox is home to a variety of unique horror content, from originals and exclusives to cult classics and documentaries. With such a rapidly-growing library, there are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Here are five recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.

Evil Dead Trap

Mix up your January Giallo viewing with Evil Dead Trap. Although its title invokes Evil Dead – and there’s a bit of Sam Raimi-esque kineticism in the camerawork – the 1988 Japanese film shares more in common with the lurid Italian thrillers: a mysterious killer, elaborate murder set pieces, gruesome violence, stylish cinematography, a dreamlike atmosphere, and an infectious synth score.

Upon receiving a graphic snuff film, a late-night TV host (Miyuki Ono) rallies a small production crew to investigate its origins at an abandoned military base. The story plays out in a manner that could be considered a slasher, but...

Popeye The Slayer Man: "Popeye the Slayer Man, a new horror feature exploring an alternate backstory for the legendary sailor, will be coming early 2025. The first trailer, stills, and teaser art have been released.

The film concerns a group of friends who sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to film a documentary on the legend of the “Sailor Man,” who is said to haunt the factory and local docks.

“We can’t wait for audiences to get a load of this gory and scary version of Popeye,” says producer Jeff Miller. “We went old-school and focused on using real practical effects, and not relying on CG for the gore. We’re talking with very enthusiastic and interested buyers now.”

Popeye the Slayer Man stars Sean Michael Conway, Elena Juliano, Mabel Thomas, Marie-Louise Boisnier, Jeff Thomas, and Steven McCormack, along with “scream queens” Angela Relucio and Sarah Nicklin. Jason Stephens plays the title role.

He's strong to the finish 'cos he eats his... radioactive spinach!

Last week, we shared a first look at some promo stills for a new Popeye horror movie from ITN Studios. Then, we brought you the first trailer for a completely separate project from Alpeke Entertainment called Shiver Me Timbers.

We mistakenly assumed these movies were one and the same, and we now have word on a third Popeye slasher flick from Salem House Films, Millman Productions, Ron Lee Productions, and Otsego Media titled Popeye the Slayer Man.

Directed by Robert Michael Ryan from a script by John Doolan, the movie focuses on “a group of friends who sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to film a documentary on the legend of the Sailor Man, who is said to haunt the factory and local docks.”

“We can’t wait for audiences to get a load of this gory and scary version of Popeye,...

First there was Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Then came news of Screamboat, another horror comedy based on a beloved cartoon character that recently entered the public domain, in this case the version of Mickey Mouse seen in Steamboat Willie. Now, get ready for the latest effort, Popeye the Slayer Man, a grisly take on the spinach-chewing, big-forearmed sailor who rose to popularity in the 1930s with a series of cartoons by Max Fleischer.

The film's official synopsis reads: "A curious group of friends sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to film a documentary on the legend of the "Sailor Man," who is said to haunt the factory and local docks." Naturally, the group of friends meets the legendary Popeye, here re-imagined as a rage-filled slasher killer, and are offed by the Slayer Man in overly violent fashion. Fans of gore will definitely be pleased by the film's newly released Red Band trailer.

Popeye the Slayer Man, a new horror feature exploring an alternate backstory for the legendary sailor, will be unleashed sometime next year, Bloody Disgusting has learned today.

Watch the bloody trailer for public domain slasher Popeye the Slayer Man below!

This is actually one of two Popeye horror movies in the works, the other coming soon from ITN Studios. That film is simply titled Popeye, and yes, it’s an entirely separate project.

Operation Blood Hunt is the film we wanted after Dog Soldiers showed us all that werewolves and soldiers could be a great combination. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much in the way of followup at the time, the promised sequel never happened and anyone who saw Werewolves of the Third Reich would probably rather forget it. So we’ve had to wait until now for Brandon Slagle to take the standard war movie plot of an odd assortment of fighters sent on a mission behind enemy lines and some werewolves to serve as the villains. And when it works, Operation Blood Hunt is a lot of fun, unfortunately, it doesn’t always work.

It’s 1945 and in a bar somewhere in London,...

Stars: Robert Bronzi, Daniel Roebuck, Valerie Bittner, Tito Ortiz, Sadie Katz, Helene Udy, A.C. Bernardi, Patrick Voss Davis | Written by Mark Savage, Joe Knetter, Jeff Miller, Tom Parnell | Directed by Mark Savage

12 to Midnight stars Charles Bronson lookalike Robert Bronzi and a title that sounds like Bronson’s film 10 to Midnight. The film even opens with Detective Toth (Robert Bronzi) walking in on, and bloodily dispatching, a couple of armed robbers who are standing between him and his beer. “You look familiar,” the shaken cashier tells him. “I get that a lot”. But, more importantly, it has something Bronson never had to deal with, a werewolf.

Unfortunately for Toth, he was off duty and already reeking of booze at the time of the incident, so instead of a commendation, he gets suspended by Captain Rhodes. He tells him to get his shit together so he won’t have to make it permanent,...

One Deputy Sheriff with the help from some odd characters must fight for their lives as a small town in Colorado is invaded by bodies falling from the sky,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “No one knows why the zombies have arrived.

Actress-turned-filmmaker Devanny Pinn makes her directorial debut with The Black Mass, one of my favorite horror films of the year.

This gruesome and nasty slasher calls to mind serial killer thrillers of the past, including John McNaughton’s masterful Henry, and is now streaming on Screambox.

A true-crime thriller based on events in Florida during the winter of 1978, it unfolds over 24 hours and centers on a serial killer in the lead-up to his ultimate, deranged killing spree.

“Presenting a harrowing and unsettling portrayal of the twisted mind of a notorious murderer, Pinn also explores the devastating consequences of his violent actions on the victims and survivors alike,” FrightFest wrote out of its International Premiere.

Jeremy London (Mallrats) co-stars alongside genre veterans Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4), Susan Lanier (The Hills Have Eyes), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Eileen Dietz (The Exorcist), Nicky Whelan (Halloween II), and Kathleen Kinmont...

Described as a mash-up between Pumpkinhead and Cube, the upcoming horror movie Round the Decay is said to “offer a fresh take on the monster movie formula with roots extending into psychological and folk horror.” It’s coming this Halloween. Watch the trailer below.

Written and directed by Adam Newman (Everwinter Night), the film follows a young woman as she returns to the sleepy town of Newport’s Valley two years after a devastating tragedy and uncovers an all-consuming secret.

Victoria Mirrer leads a cast that includes Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night), Sienna Hubert-Ross (Terrifier 3), Melody Kay (The NeverEnding Story III), Phil Duran (Breaking Bad), Sarah Nicklin (The Black Mass), Rachel Pizzolato (Mythbusters Jr.), and Roger Clark (Red Dead Redemption II).

We have an extremely exciting July lined up for Screambox users looking for some horror fireworks.

Highlights include the rarely seen Walking After Midnight: The Making of Survival of the Dead, a full-length film documenting the making of George A Romero’s zombie classic, as well as the ultra gory, must-see serial killer slasher The Black Mass, and religious anthology Body Parts.

The month is jam-packed with quality films, such as:

Fresh new label Dreamscape Productions has wrapped principal photography on their creature feature Round the Decay, and they’ve provided Bloody Disgusting with some first look stills of the film’s cast and a peek at the flick’s monster, the Wrexsoul.

Writer and director Adam Newman teases the original practical creation at the center of the film (played by Rachel Pizzolato), “The Wrexsoul is inspired by many creatures of film’s past, but the sum equals something fresh and unique. We can’t spoil too much but we have an extensive lore that you’re going to have to check out once Round the Decay is released.”

Check out the exclusive images along with the film’s poster art below.

Exclusive: Andrew Keegan is to star in an indie drama series from horror actress Devanny Pinn.

He will play an entertainment titan in The Blvd, which is being worked up as a six-part series set in LA’s hottest boutique public relations agency during awards season.

Keegan’s character will be Jake Flynn, head of a rival PR firm that is poised to depose longstanding celebrity publicist Persephone Reed (Kinmont).

Also starring in the indie production are Chelsea Gilson, Jordi Vilasuso, Vincent Irizarry, Nichole Tom, Adam Huss, Candace Kita and Eric Himel.

The show is currently in production in LA, with Pinn (Camp Lake Pleasant) producing through her Jaguar Motion Pictures imprint from a script from Brandon Slagle and Eric Pereira.

Adam Huss (“General Hospital”), Vincent Irizarry, and Jordi Vilasuso have signed on to star in “The Blvd,” an all-new six-episode digital drama series set in the fast-paced world of a boutique public relations agency during awards season which is slated to premiere this spring.

The Black Mass, the title of actress Devanny Pinn’s directorial debut is not, as one might guess, a reference to a Satanic ritual. It’s the description one of the survivors gave of the man who, across one long night in 1978, attacked four of her sorority sisters, killing two of them as well as attacking a random woman he encountered nearby.

That man was Ted Bundy. That doesn’t mean that The Black Mass is a typical true-crime film or even a straightforward slasher film. Pinn and co-writers Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle keep the killer in the background figuratively and literally for much of the film.

While he is in almost every scene, or the scenes are shot from his perspective, for the...

When we reviewed Trauma Therapy: Psychosis it was mentioned the fillm was a reworked version of The Vance Institute. A was originally shot with the intent of being released in black and white with a few colour scenes. Instead, it was released all in colour.

There was also new footage added featuring Tom Sizemore as the host of The Tom Sizemore Show interviewing Victor, one of the characters from the 2019 film Trauma Therapy. After Sizemore died this made a centrepiece of the film’s publicity as his last film despite there being several more of his films yet to be released.

This was shot and edited in without the participation of the original director, Lawrie Brewster who says he was assured he would have the final cut.

Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.
