The 2020s has been another great decade for horror thus far. Especially if you're the streaming service Shudder. The genre-centric streamer has used the theatrical model to its advantage, with films like Clown in a Cornfield doing well at the box office last month. However, one of their best gems to date was Late Night With the Devil. The 2024 throwback found footage nightmare starring David Dastmalchian (The Boogeyman) was a spooky critical and box office hit. Now, this Late Night show gone wrong is getting a new 4K release.

In the form of a haunting 4Ksteelbook, the latest release of the film features chilling new artwork. It depicts Jack Delroy (Dastmalchian) behind the scenes of his Late Night talk show “Night Owls.” The hoot-worthy logo can even be seen on the curtain behind him. However, there’s a lot of horrific stress happening around him, as a seemingly possessed teenage...

Volume #19 of Chainsaw Man has just been released in Japan, and with it, new artwork and an author comment from the series' artist, Tatsuki Fujimoto. The eccentric mangaka behind Fire Punch and the universally acclaimed one-shots, Look Back and Goodbye, Eri, begins each volume of Chainsaw Man by sharing a recommendation or simply something he enjoys. And this time, it is the critically acclaimed 2024 horror film, Late Night with the Devil.

Late Night with the Devil was initially shown in 2023 at the South by Southwest film festival, before finally releasing in March 2024 to theaters. The film follows a fictional 1970s late-night talk show host named Jack Delroy, who experiences supernatural phenomena during the filming of his show, Night Owls. If there is one thing Tatsuki Fujimoto isn't shy about, it's his love for movies, and Late Night with the Devil, now available to stream on Hulu, is far from the first the author has recommended.

Fiendish horror enthusiasts looking for a truly excellent movie this Halloween need look no further than Late Night with the Devil, one of the most acclaimed genre titles of 2024. With pitch-perfect period detail to recreate the tableau of a 1970s TV talk show, the story concerns a late-night talk show host desperate to spike viewership ratings, going to extreme lengths to present a live, on-air exorcism for the world to witness.

Blending the jolting immediacy of a live TV event with the maddening mystery of whether the on-air exorcism is real, Late Night with the Devil has morbid fun toying with viewers' expectations. Bolstered by top-notch FX work that grows grislier and more unnerving as the story advances, every serious horror fan must enjoy Late Night with the Devil on Hulu this Halloween.

The latest horror hit taking the streaming world by storm is the highly-buzzed about supernatural sensation Late Night with the Devil, which takes place on Halloween night in 1977 and centers on a charismatic yet desperate talk show host as he plans to revitalize his waning career by creating a chilling holiday episode in which he interviews a young girl allegedly possessed by a demon. Naturally, things go from bad to worse for both the overwhelmed host and shocked viewers, who witness the horrifying events before their very eyes.

Legendary drive-in critic and movie host Joe Bob Briggs will be welcoming two guests during this year’s special Halloween presentation of his Shudder series The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs, a special that’s called Joe Bob’s Beelzebub Bash – and now that the identities of both of those guests have been revealed, we have a good idea of which movies are going to be shown as well. Last week, we learned that one of the guests will be director Jeff Lieberman – and given that this is a Halloween special with a devilish theme, it’s likely that Lieberman will be there to discuss his 2004 film Satan’s Little Helper. Now, Joe Bob himself has revealed that the second guest is actor David Dastmalchian… and it’s highly probable that the movie Dastmalchian will be there to discuss is Late Night With the Devil, especially since that was a Shudder release.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

Exclusive: There She Goes, a feature film loosely based on Rachael Leigh Cook’s real-life experiences as a ‘90s star, has found the rest of its cast.

She’s All That star Cook will star in the movie, which comes from Fox Entertainment Studios, alongside Ghosts star Utkarsh Ambudkar and Party Down’s Ryan Hansen.

Lea DeLaria (Orange Is The New Black), Becky Ann Baker (Girls), Mark Linn-Baker (Succession), Sakina Jaffrey (Billions), and Alok Tewari (The Good Fight) also star.

The film was part of a wide-ranging deal that Cook signed last year with Marvista Entertainment. The company restructured its team with Marvista founding partner Fernando Szew becoming Head of Fox Entertainment Studios, which also consists of Bento Box Entertainment, Marvista, Studio Ramsay Global, TMZ and Fox’s scripted studio.

The film received a theatrical release earlier this year before reaching the Shudder streaming service, and now it has been announced that IFC Films and Shudder will be bringing Late Night With the Devil back to theatres tomorrow, June 6th, for screenings that will begin at 6pm and will include a Q&a with star Dastmalchian and filmmaker Kevin Smith, who directed Dastmalchian in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

“Late Night with the Devil,” the hit horror film that debuted at SXSW 2023, continues to dominate streaming platforms, earning praise and shattering records. Audiences are enthralled by its eerie depiction of a 1970s late-night talk show spiraling into darkness.

Set in the late 1970s, David Dastmalchian plays the host of a fictional show called “Night Owls.” In the movie, his character, Jack Delroy, gets tangled up with a secretive society and makes a deal with them for success using occult means. Even though the movie is made up,...

Boston Rob Mariano may have cost his game on Deal Or No Deal Island. He has been a fan-favorite the entire season and viewers are ready to stop watching if he gets sent home. Well, that could be the case. Boston Rob potentially ruined his game in the first part of the finale. This is not what he had planned, and he got this far. A simple mistake could have ruined it all.

Boston Rob Mariano Fights For Final Case

Boston Rob has been fighting for his life during this season of the show. The “Night Owls” have been against him from the beginning. This is more than likely due to his history on Survivor. However, Rob is loved by fans which in turn makes people not like anyone in the “Night Owls”. Aron Barbell was Rob Mariano’s right-hand man before he made a bad deal with the banker and was sent home.

Late Night With The Devil Breaks Streaming Records on Shudder’s Strongest Opening Weekend Ever (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Shudder, the go-to spot for horror buffs, smashed its records last weekend with “Late Night With The Devil,” a horror gem that became the top catch for Shudder and AMC+ during its debut. Horror Geek Life reports that the film wasted no time making history, hitting the ground running on Shudder on April 19 and securing the platform’s most triumphant opening weekend yet.

Upon hitting theaters, it promptly seized the crown as distributor IFC Films’ most lucrative opening weekend in the U.S., amassing $2.8 million in domestic box office revenue. According to Forbes, despite its limited release in just 1,034 American theaters, the Australian movie generated $9.8 million in revenue during its U.S. theatrical run.

Late Night With the Devil is 2024's highest-rated horror film, blending documentary techniques with chilling storytelling. The movie follows host Jack Delroy as he crafts an occult-themed episode, paying homage to classic British horror mockumentaries. Ghostwatch, a 1992 TV horror movie, serves as inspiration for Late Night With the Devil's inventive setup and terrifying storytelling.

Using documentary filmmaking techniques to serve up chills and thrills, Late Night With the Devil is 2024's highest-rated horror film so far though it certainly recalls a classic British horror mockumentary that made waves back in 1992. Starring David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy, the host of the fictional Night Owls with Jack Delroy late-night talk show, the movie chronicles the events that unfold during the 1977 Halloween night episode of the show. In order to boost the talk show's ratings, Delroy decides to craft an occult-themed episode.

Late Night With the Devil feels fresh thanks to its inventive setup.

This week’s Deal or No Deal Island competition has whittled the number of contestants from thirteen to five.

Nick Grasso was eliminated in a fierce battle between him and Boston Rob Mariano, resulting in Nick taking the deal from the banker.

Nick leaving the game with $4,417,000 meant Rob stayed another week, and the Night Owls declared that everyone was playing Rob’s game.

Boston Rob Mariano is a reality competition show expert, having been on Survivor and The Amazing Race multiple times, and is the one to beat in the game.

As reported by Monsters and Critics, fans are upset that the so-called Night Owls target Rob and his friend Aron Barbell so fiercely in the game.

But now, some fans speculate that maybe the show is being rigged to favor Rob because so many fans have declared they won’t watch it if he is eliminated.

The critically acclaimed horror movie Late Night With the Devil was released into theaters nationwide last month, and after scaring up over $10 million, it’s now available at home!

How and where can you watch Late Night with the Devil at home, you ask?

The easiest – and cheapest – way to watch Late Night with the Devil at home is to stream the film on Shudder, which is currently its exclusive streaming home. That will of course require a subscription to Shudder; if you don’t already have one of those – and you should! – you can sign up today and get the first seven days for free, with plans starting at $5.99 per month.

But Shudder isn’t the only place you can watch the film, even if it’s the only streaming service it’s available on. You can also digitally purchase Late Night with the Devil on platforms such as...

David Dastmalchian was raised in a religious household where “everything was ‘the Devil’s work’” and he was constantly told not to open myself up to anything evil that could come in. “Fast-forward to me as a grown-up and I’m telling my wife not to order a cursed Ouija board off the Internet,” the actor notes. He’s also hosted seances, been published in “Fangoria,” penned the graphic novel series “Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter” for Dark Horse Comics and served as the brand ambassador for a line of caskets.

And, of course, starred in the hottest horror movie of the year as the lead in “Late Night With the Devil.” The indie feature from brothers Cameron and Colin Cairns was released by IFC in theaters, where it’s already made a robust $10 million. And as of today, it’s available to stream on the horror network Shudder.

The critically acclaimed horror movie Late Night with the Devil has hit streaming, allowing a whole new audience to discover the faux documentary with several real scares. Writer-directors Colin and Cameron Cairnes center their film around a late-night TV show in 1977, when television was riskier and a little dangerous. But there's something outright malevolent lurking in this live Halloween night broadcast.

Laura Gordon portrays June Ross-Mitchell, a parapsychologist who is one of the guests on Night Owls with Jack Delroy. June has been studying a young woman named Lilly d'Abo and brings her on the show as Jack aims to boost his ratings with an occult-themed episode. But Lilly's tragic past as the sole survivor of a Satanic church is just one of many things that causes the TV taping to spiral into violence. In an interview with Cbr, Laura spoke about her "wonderful" experience filming one of the best...

The 1970s– an era of “unrest and mistrust, fear and violence,” says the opening minutes of Colin and Cameron Cairnes’ Late Night with the Devil, accurately reflecting the viewpoint of the burgeoning moral panic of the time. Fear mongering-ish as that sounds, after a decade of Christianity in crisis mode– including a 1966 Times cover asking, “Is God Dead?”– and the “Satanic” cult murders by the Manson Family in 1969, the ’70s were a time of peak (at least until then) obsession with all things occult, planting the seeds and ultimately leading to what would be known as the full-blown Satanic Panic in the decade to follow. The devil was believed to be real, and he was to be feared, expelled, and/or worshiped– in real life and reflected in dozens and dozens of horror films and countless categories of other media within that era.

Late Night with the Devil toys with all this,...

The following contains spoilers for Late Night with the Devil, now playing in theaters.

As the horror movie genre continues to evolve, it's a Golden Age for exorcism and demonic possession movies again. While The Exorcist: Believer didn't hit the mark, movies like The Pope's Exorcist, Evil Dead Rise and Insidious: Red Door helped keep the momentum going. It seems that even The First Omen is going to continue the trend of demon-centric movies.

Also continuing the demon-centric horror movie trend is Late Night with the Devil, which places female demons at the forefront of a talk show, where David Dastmalchian plays Jack Delroy. He's a host seeking to boost ratings for his Night Owls program, not realizing that, in his desperation, he is going to unleash hell.

In a piece of news that is too wild to make up, IFC's Late Night with the Devil is reporting $2.8 million domestically in its opening weekend, but the real hook? $666,666 came on what is evidently a highly Satanic Sunday for the film. The movie stars David Dastmalchian as a talk show host who gets more than he bargained for when he decides to host a special episode of his fictional talk show, Night Owls with Jack Delroy one night.

Dastmalchian is Jack Delroy, a fictional 1970s talk show host who is in trouble. Jack and his show “Night Owls,” once one of the biggest shows in late night, is now struggling. So now, with his personal life marred by tragedy and his ratings in free fall, he’s desperate to keep his show. Jack and his producers cook up a controversial plan for their 1977 Halloween special … a live demonic possession, as performed by parapsychologist Dr. June (Laura Gordon) and 13-year-old Lilly (Ingrid Torelli). On the spookiest night of the year, demons are about to get real.

A live television broadcast goes horribly wrong in this formidably creepy found footage horror, written and directed by Australian brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Anchored by a terrific lead turn from perennial character actor David Dastmalchian, it’s a cult movie waiting to happen.

Taking a page from British TV’s classic Ghostwatch, but adding a period setting, Late Night With the Devil purports to be the master tapes of a disastrous live TV recording from Halloween 1977, in which a guest on the talk show Night Owls with Jack Delroy (Dastmalchian) attempted to commune with the Devil, live on air, in a bid to gain ratings during Sweeps Week.

Late Night with the Devil is the most fun that I have had with a horror film in a hot minute. It really finds that space in the Venn diagram that encompasses popcorn horror, clever writing, and an innovative story. I love discovering movies like this. I would file Deadstream, The House of the Devil and Saint Maud on the same shelf. Not because they are similar in premise or tone, but more because of the experience I had watching them. It’s so fun to go into an indie horror film and discover something new. A story that hasn’t been told that isn’t part of a bigger franchise. I love higher budget, more mainstream horror, but it’s films like this that give us more of an opportunity to experience something unexpected. I love that.

Late Night With the Devil, the latest film from Cameron and Colin Cairnes, the team who made 100 Bloody Acres and Scare Campaign, opens with scenes of violence caught in the lens of the TV camera. As we watch, Michael Ironside tells us about America in the 1970s, and then segues into the career of radio man turned late night TV host Jack Delroy.

His show, the syndicated Night Owls, has run a close second to Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show, but never managed to catch up to it in the ratings wars. And since the death of Jack’s wife Madeline his life and his ratings, seem to be in free fall. With sweeps week kicking off on Halloween Eve and his career on the line,...

The Devil has always thrived in chaos, and so there’s no better or more natural place for him to appear than on live TV. That goes double for the live TV of the early ’70s, when an “anything goes” attitude ruled the airwaves, the horrors of the Vietnam War beamed into a hundred million American homes every night, and the devotional trust that people still placed in news anchors and talk show hosts was starting to grow poisoned by the cynical pursuit for higher ratings.

In that light, it was only going to be a matter of time before “Night Owls with Jack Delroy” turned into hell on earth, especially after Jack’s non-smoker of a wife died of terminal lung cancer and the widowed host became more determined than ever to catch up with Johnny Carson. Jack would make any sacrifice necessary to win his midnight time slot,...

"Late Night with the Devil" is one of the best horror movies you'll see this year — a clever, effective, and most of all scary mockumentary that recreates the era of '70s late-night talk shows with a nightmarish twist. What if a "Tonight Show" clone suddenly succumbed to demonic possession — live on the air? "Late Night with the Devil" has the answer, suggesting that a little hellfire can be good for ratings.

Written and directed by Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes, "Late Night with the Devil" introduces us to Jack Delroy (played by a very committed David Dastmalchian), a wannabe Johnny Carson who hosts "Night Owls with Jack Delroy," a New York City-based late night variety and talk show struggling to stay afloat in the late-night ratings wars. It's Halloween night, and Jack has a special show planned, in which two of his guests are a parapsychologist (Laura Gordon) and her patient,...

By taking the tricks and tropes associated with films about occult goings-on and applies them in the context of a 1970s talk show, Australian writer-directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes have conjured up a horror flick that’s devilishly fun. Late Night with the Devil sets the scene with a montage, authoritatively narrated by Michael Ironside. Day after day, news programs report on the Watergate scandal, the Manson family, and other offenses as if on loop. Perhaps that’s why there’s such an appetite for the likes of Johnny Carson—well-groomed, quick-witted men who who almost nightly offer a sense of order and familiarity to an increasingly anxious populous, a feeling that maybe things will be alright after all.

Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) is no Johnny Carson. His quaint Midwestern charms earned his late-night show, Night Owls with Jack Delroy, a respectable following, but it was clear that he would...

The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith.

Ahead of the acclaimed horror flick’s arrival later this month, check out the full-length trailer for Late Night With The Devil.

There are plenty of reasons why we’re fully on board for the upcoming horror flick, Late Night With The Devil.

It has a retro 1970s feel that looks incredible. It also has the wonderful David Dastmalchian (who often appears in smaller but memorable roles) getting a leading role. Then there’s the festival buzz which has been very strong indeed. Oh, and there’s also the fact that horror hasn’t really found its feet yet here in 2024.

Whilst it wasn’t terrible, Night Swim didn’t have anywhere near the same impact that Blumhouse’s traditional year-opening horror has in the past, and we feel like we’re waiting for the first truly rousing chiller of the year to get the cinematic scares up and running.

"How could you let it happen, Jack?" IFC Films has revealed the full official trailer for acclaimed indie horror thriller Late Night with the Devil, made by the Australian filmmakers Cameron & Colin Cairnes. This first premiered at last year's SXSW Film Festival, playing at tons of other festivals around the world. Tune in this spring. A live television broadcast back in 1977 goes horribly wrong, unleashing evil into the nation's living rooms. Presented as found footage. Set in the 1970s, the film follows charismatic late-night host Jack Delroy (portrayed by the great iconoclast David Dastmalchian), who, in an effort to boost the ratings of his once hugely popular "Night Owls", has invited an eerie tableau of guests for his Hail Mary of an occult-focused Halloween broadcast.

Late Night with the Devil and The Cleansing Hour both feature broadcasts taken over by supernatural beings. The films share common themes but are set in different time periods. The similarities between the movies make them an ideal double feature, highlighting timeless horror elements.

The upcoming horror film Late Night with the Devil shares some broad strokes and thematic elements with 2019's The Cleansing Hour, but the similarities make both movies even better. Written and directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night with the Devil focuses on Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian), the host of late-night talk show Night Owls. Set in the 1970s, Delroy tries to combat falling ratings by bringing on a spooky panel of guests for a Halloween taping, including the potentially demonically possessed Lilly (Ingrid Torelli).

"Tune in, freak out." IFC Films has uneveiled the first short teaser trailer for acclaimed indie horror thriller Late Night with the Devil, made by the Australian filmmakers Cameron & Colin Cairnes. This originally premiered at last year's SXSW Film Festival, playing at tons of other festivals around the world last year. A live television broadcast back in 1977 goes horribly wrong, unleashing evil into the nation's living rooms. Presented in a found footage style. Set in the 1970s, the film follows charismatic late-night host Jack Delroy (portrayed by the great iconoclast David Dastmalchian), who, in an effort to boost the ratings of his once hugely popular "Night Owls", has invited an eerie tableau of guests for his Hail Mary of an occult-focused Halloween broadcast. IFC has this film set to open in March, so keep an eye out for it soon. Dastmalchian stars as the host, joined by Laura Gordon, Ingrid Torelli,...

David Dastmalchian is thrilled by Stephen King's glowing review of Late Night with the Devil and is honored to have the author's endorsement. The indie horror movie has also received praise from high-profile creatives such as Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin.

After recently starring in an adaptation of the author's work, David Dastmalchian reacts to Stephen King's glowing review of Late Night with the Devil. Dastmalchian produces and stars in the found-footage horror movie as Jack Delroy, the host of a late-night talk show entitled Night Owls, with the story coming from a rediscovered master tape from a Halloween episode in which a live broadcast went awry as he interviewed a parapsychologist and sole survivor of a Satanic church's mass suicide.
