Buyers at the Cannes Market were going bananas for Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, with the bidding war eventually being won out by Neon. While no financial details were made available, Deadline reports that the studio is aiming for a 2025 release.
Filming on The Monkey – which was first published in 1980 and subsequently reprinted in the essential King short story collection Skeleton Crew – wrapped in March. Directed by Oz Perkins (son of Anthony and whose Longlegs is also being distributed by Neon), the movie is notably produced by James Wan and features a cast of Theo James, Elijah Wood, Tatiana Maslany, Sarah Levy, Rohan Campbell, Christian Convery, and Colin O’Brien.
For those unfamiliar with Stephen King’s short story, The Monkey has the following plot: “When twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them.

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit Showtime’s “Masters of Horror,” which was created by Mick Garris and aired for two seasons between 2005 and 2007.
It seemed like a horror fan’s wet dream: a horror anthology series with some of the greatest horror filmmakers of all time lensing short format horror films for premium cable. Although horror icons had teamed in the past to bring us series like “Tales from the Darkside” and “Tales from the Crypt,” there wasn’t a modern series that brought them all together to have a chance to tell their stories in the anthology format. “Masters of Horror” seemed like a prime opportunity to re-invent the waning anthology horror format, and while it didn’t quite re-invent the wheel as planned, it brought with it a lot of great content from some bonafide horror icons.

This episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series was Written and Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Horror for Christmas? Yes, I’m here to holly your jolly, deck your halls, and sacrifice your children to Krampus. What a merry holiday season indeed! Since our October vid focused on Halloween Specials, I figured the Spooky Christmas crossovers deserved some attention as well.
As a kid, my family did have Christmas watching traditions like most. We did Scrooged, A Christmas Story, Frosty, Charlie Brown, Garfield, Home Alone, Gremlins (Ahhhh it’s controversial), Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands…and my mom may have snuck in Black Christmas. She was and is a fan of Holiday-based Horror. Her favorite being My Bloody Valentine. All of this is totally normal. So, as you can probably guess, the tradition has continued.

By the time Halloween wraps up, most people have tucked away their pumpkins and spider webs in favour of colourful wreaths and Santa figurines. For horror fans, it means Krampus and blood covered snow now take centre stage. The holiday of Christmas naturally lends itself to the horror genre, spawning favourites that include Black Christmas, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Rare Exports, and more. However, many films are too gruesome for younger people to enjoy.
To let children in on the festive and frightful fun, here is a variety of age-appropriate Christmas horror film and television specials the entire family can enjoy.
Creeped Out: Splinta Claws (2019)
Season 2, Episode 10
“Everyone knows there are nice children as well as naughty. But are there good and bad Santas as well?” This question is posed in the opening of the “Splinta Claws” episode of the anthology series Creeped Out on Netflix, which originally released in the UK and Canada.

Trekkies and sci-fi nerds in the early 1990s were riding high. The original "Star Trek" cast wrapped up their final movie together with "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was striding through its best period. Most importantly, the Sci-Fi Channel launched within nerds' cable packages in 1992, and a panoply of riches opened up. Some previously inaccessible shows were suddenly regularly rotated through the Channel's calendar, and classic sci-fi movies were finally gathered under one umbrella. About 30 years ago, the Sci-Fi Channel slate was embarrassingly good, containing "Planet of the Apes" movies, "Star Trek" reruns, "The Incredible Hulk" reruns, airings of "Starman," and curious documentary shows like "Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion" and "Inside Space." Kids got to enjoy "Transformers," "Stingray," and "Space: 1999." Adults got to watch "Night Gallery" and "Tales from the Darkside." 1992 Sci-Fi Channel was truly TV at its peak.

On Friday nights — and special occasions! — IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: God Gives His Toughest Battles to His Strongest Pickle Salesmen
The episodic anthology is, by definition, the biggest mixed bag of a genre you’ll ever find on television. For every early season of “Black Mirror” and “The Twilight Zone” there’s a “Romanoffs” and… well, the recent seasons of “Black Mirror.” By eschewing serialization and giving creators freedom to tell self-contained stories in each episode, you create opportunities for fascinating one-offs that wouldn’t fit into any other medium.

Telling ghost stories was a Christmas tradition in Victorian England, and in recent years author / actor / playwright Mark Gatiss – who has been a Doctor Who writer and co-created Sherlock with Steven Moffat – has been paying tribute to that tradition by directing ghost stories for the BBC to air at Christmastime. This year is no different, as The Hollywood Reporter breaks the news that Kit Harington of Game of Thrones and Eternals has signed on to star in Gatiss’s latest Christmas chiller, the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle adaptation Lot No. 249.
Freddie Fox (The Great) joins Harington in Lot No. 249, which centers on a group of Oxford students, one of whom undertakes research into the secrets of Ancient Egypt which become the talk of the college. Can these experiments truly breathe life to the horrifying bag of bones which is the mysterious Lot. No 249?

Its hard for a sequel to be better than the original – no, hey! Don’t close the article and please hold all hate in the comments until the end. I’m not saying Creepshow 2 (watch it Here) is better than the first movie, that’s just silly. Ok, so it’s hard for sequels to eclipse their previous iteration. Godfather II is always the answer to that but there are other things that you can prefer. Some people prefer the breakneck action of Aliens to the slasher in space of Alien. Others may enjoy Friday the 13th Part 2 with its higher violence (although it does have the same body count) and introduction to Jason to part 1’s mommy revenge story.

The Night of the Living Dead (1990) episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Emilie Black, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Victoria Verduzco, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Horror remakes are everywhere these days, but back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were quite a few less, in fact, they were pretty rare. Of course, some had come and gone, with varying degrees of quality and success. Some of the better ones are well remembered to this day, including The Thing, The Fly, and The Blob. In 1990, another remake came out to a bit less joy. In fact, it was downright hated by many, with Roger Ebert even putting it on his “Most Hated” list, something that was not entirely surprising as he had high regards for some of the George A. Romero originals that came before.

Nick Benedict, the soap opera star best known for “All My Children,” “The Young and the Restless” and “Days of Our Lives,” died July 14 following two weeks of complications from an emergency spine surgery that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was 77 years old.
An obit for the soap star confirmed that he died on his birthday. A Facebook post from Jake’s Steakhouse, where his wife Ginger works as a bartender, promoted a GoFundMe link from organizer Harmony Nessa on behalf of Ginger to raise money after she took a leave of absence to aid her husband.
“Nick Benedict’s birthday was July 14. He went to be with the Lord this day,” the post read. “Please pray for Ginger.”
According to the week-old post, Benedict had emergency spinal cord surgery July 2, and he was admitted to hospice July 4 with paralysis from the neck down. He died in Arizona 10 days later.

Stephen King isn’t just an author by this point: He’s an institution, a legacy of classic horror stories that capture our imaginations, fuel our nightmares, and speak — when he’s at his best — to our shared experiences as flawed, emotional beings. The best King stories scare so many of us that we all feel connected, and even the worst are usually pretty fun.
King’s books and short stories quickly became hit movies, many of them celebrated in their time, and some flopped so hard that hardly anybody remembers them. Cataloguing every adaptation might be a fool’s errand, so we made some tough choices and decided to focus only on his theatrical releases.
And even then, there are so many King adaptations that it gets tricky. We’re not including the made-for-tv films (which are legion), and the sequels to King’s work rarely have anything to do with the source material,...

A while back, the CBS All Access streaming service was rebooted and rebranded as Paramount Plus. Since then, the latest Paranormal Activity sequel was released directly to Paramount Plus, and in the not-too-distant future, a Pet Sematary prequel will be on there as well. While we wait for that, the service already has several other horror titles that are available for subscribers to watch. Listed below are some of the Best Horror Movies on Paramount Plus:

In the age of streaming television, horror is alive and well. Shows like "Stranger Things" and "Wednesday" are topping Netflix's charts, "What We Do in the Shadows" continues to prove series adaptations of movies can be even better than the source material, and although "The Walking Dead" came to a conclusion with its 11th season, its multiple spin-offs are certain to keep its spirit shambling along for years to come. But what if you're looking for something off the beaten path?
The good news is that there's a whole world of horror television lurking in the shadows, hungrily waiting for its next captive audience. From old-school anthology series to a Danish supernatural hospital drama, or even obscure relics of the Y2K age, we've put together a lineup of forgotten or simply underappreciated shows that are worth checking out.

A holiday as conspicuous as Christmas will undoubtedly attract the most thrills and chills at this time of year. In the past, TV’s genre anthologies have been a remarkable and plentiful source of wintry terror, be that of the Christmas variety or otherwise. The original Twilight Zone submitted the strangest of strange holiday stories, Tales from the Darkside provided the macabre classics “Seasons of Belief” and “The Yattering and Jack,” and Tales from the Crypt put a new spin on the EC-era slasher “And All Through the House.”
Christmas horror only became more weird and wild as the century changed. And as these five festive frighteners from more recent anthology series suggest, there’s never a better season for horror than winter.

Christmas horror only became more weird and wild as the century changed. And as these five festive frighteners from more recent anthology series suggest, there’s never a better season for horror than winter.

In the ’70s, George A. Romero and his producing partner Richard P. Rubinstein formed the company Laurel Entertainment, and one TV show that came out of Laurel during Romero and Rubinstein’s years of working together was Tales from the Darkside, an anthology that mixed science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Earlier this year, we looked back at Tales from the Darkside for an episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series. Romero left Laurel in the mid-’80s, and a while later Rubinstein oversaw another horror anthology TV show. That show was called Monsters, and it’s the one we’re digging into with the new episode of Horror TV Shows We Miss. Check it out in the embed above!
Created by Rubinstein and Mitchell Galin, Monsters has the following synopsis:
From modern-day fables of fear, to stories that uncover the trembling terrors of times past, each episode...

It’s that time of year again when folks put out scary decorations and pumpkins, fill bowls with candy, and don costumes to blend in with the other ghosts and ghouls. Halloween is in the wind, and nothing quite gets this holiday’s observers in the festive mood better than watching horror.
Movies are the obvious route for experiencing horror at a safe distance, but the television side of the genre has also been a reliant as well as rich source of Halloween activity. And while anthologies can be sparing with tales set around October 31 — they don’t need a special occasion to get scary, after all — these select stories not only celebrate Halloween, they’re a reminder of its power over events and people.

The Cutty Black Sow
With every new season of Tales from the Darkside, the series showed less and less straightforward frights.

Parents undoubtedly love their children, but every now and then, they want some time off. That’s where a babysitter or nanny comes in. If everything goes to plan, these domestic godsends can be in and out in a few hours with some extra money in hand, as well as the satisfaction of knowing they helped ease a parent’s stress for a short while.
However, not every one of these caregivers (or their charges) gets off scot-free; the ones in horror count themselves lucky if they can go home after their excruciating ordeals.
And as these five dreadful episodes from TV anthology series demonstrate, childcare can be downright scary…

It’s time for a new episode of our Horror TV Shows We Miss video series, and in this one we’re longing for the return of The Outer Limits – with a specific focus on the revival series that ran for seven seasons, from 1995 to 2002. To find out what we had to say about The Outer Limits, check out the video embedded above!
Created by Leslie Stevens, the first run of The Outer Limits lasted just two seasons (49 episodes), running on ABC from 1963 to ’65. Airing on Showtime and then the Sci-Fi Channel, the revival series was
an anthology of distinct story episodes, sometimes with a plot twist at the end. The revival series maintained an anthology format, but occasionally featured recurring story arcs that were then tied together during season-finale clip shows.
There were 152 episodes of the revival series over the course of its seven seasons.

Joe Turkel, a prolific actor who appeared in “The Shining” and “Blade Runner” and boasted more than 100 credits to his name, has died at 94 at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California.
Turkel was a frequent performer in Stanley Kubrick films; in addition to the seminal 1980 horror flick, he acted in 1956’s “The Killing” and “Paths of Glory” a year later. In “The Shining,” he played the ghoulish bartender named Lloyd at the hotel, opposite star Jack Nicholson. Two years later, he embodied another sinister persona as the eccentric replicant founder Eldon Tyrell in the original “Blade Runner.”
A Brooklyn, New York native, he was born on July 15, 1927. He joined the U.S. Army at age of 17, serving in Europe during World War II. Afterward, he moved to California to pursue acting, and landed his first film credit with “City Across the River” in 1948.

Joe Turkel, a prolific character actor whose indelible performances included roles as the sinister bartender Lloyd in The Shining and the maker of artificial humans in Blade Runner, died Monday, June 27, at St. John’s Hospital. He was 94.
His death was announced by his family, who said he died peacefully with his sons Craig and Robert by his side.

Before the arrival of paid cable television original series of HBO and Showtime in the 1990s, TV shows could seldom get as dark as what was allowed in cinema. Dark Shadows, Night Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Tales From the Darkside are some of the rare examples of pre-1990s TV shows that explored dark content, but it was always safe and never tipped too far into dangerous territory. When we talk about “dark TV shows” some immediately think of horror, and for all intents and purposes, that is certainly not what is meant by “dark.” Dark can mean everything from

Scream Factory and Shout! Factory have added a treasure trove of older genre films to their catalog, and on August 25, Tales From the Darkside: The Movie, will join them. The producers of the popular TV show decided to make a feature with notable writers and filmmakers, like George A. Romero adapting Stephen King's "The Cat From Hell") and Michael McDowell writing the "Lover's Vow" segment and also adapting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lot 249." John Harrison, Romero's assistant director on the Tales From the Darkside series, directed all segments and the wraparound story. The film is a classic anthology, with the three tales and the story that connects them all. In the wraparound story, Debbie Harry stars as a woman who's...

Life as a House: Beware the Burbs in Finnegan’s Metaphorical Sophomore Feature
The novelty of Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone,” or any of its various offshoots, from “Amazing Stories,” to “Tales from the Crypt,” or the vignette-style films imitating their style (Creepshow; Tales from the Darkside) is in the brevity of their oft-pithy, short-story narrative morals and lessons. Vivarium, the sophomore feature from Ireland’s Lorcan Finnegan (which is co-produced through Belgium and Denmark) has all the makings of a memorable episode of something larger—but as a standalone film, it tends to sag beneath the weight of its concept and three-character claustrophobia—all who are, like the aforementioned series, designed more as cultural markers than three dimensional beings.…...

We break down what we learned about Riverdale season 4 at this Sdcc 2019!
We've already told you about how Shannen Doherty will be appearing on the season premiere of Riverdale season 4 as a yet-to-be-revealed character in order to pay tribute to her friend and Beverly Hills 90210 cast member, Luke Perry, as well as some other plot tidbits, but there's more news coming out of San Diego Comic-Con about "the town with pep" that has us super excited.
Perhaps the most interesting revelation is that Riverdale will put out a Halloween-themed episode this season. There is precedent here, as the season two installment "Tales from the Darkside" leaned into the show's supernatural side, complete with Creepshow references and the appearance of horror great Tony Todd, but it wasn't specifically tied into the holiday itself.
Four seasons in and it's a downright shame that we haven't gotten an utterly spooky episode yet.

Golly gee, when was the last time there was a good horror show on TV? I guess The Terror probably counts (I’m assuming it’s scary due to its on-the-nose title). Otherwise, most reality TV is pretty terrifying. Zing! Got’em!
But I might also need to get Shudder soon, because they have a Creepshow series coming out. And ya know what? It looks like a lot of stylized, practical, spooky fun. Thank you, Comic-Con, for bringing us more gory good news, and showing us how much enjoyment we’ll get out of being scared by the upcoming anthology show.
In addition to being based off the films that featured horror titans Stephen King and George Romero, may his soul rest in peace, the cast looks to be stacked, too. We have splatter veterans Jeffrey Combs and Tobin Bell, and even Adrienne Barbeau. There’s also Giancarlo Esposito, Bruce Davison,...

I loved Sci-fi shows like this growing up & reruns of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Tales from the Darkside were shows I looked forward to watching.

If you watch movies, then chances are you would instantly recognize Dick Miller's face, not just because he has more than 180 screen credits to his name (according to IMDb), but because he instills each of his characters with an unforgettable personality and indelible screen presence. Miller was truly a unique and wonderful performer, and it is with especially heavy hearts that we share the news of his passing at the age of 90.
Multiple sources, including The Hollywood Reporter, report the news of Miller's passing at the age of 90 in Toluca Lake, California. According to a family spokesperson, he passed away from natural causes and was surrounded by loved ones.
Miller's first film role dates back to 1955, and from that point on, there was no turning back for Miller, who was a constant presence in film and TV, playing memorable characters in just about every genre imaginable over seven decades.

Riverdale shakes up its storytelling formula in an excellent character-focused installment.
This Riverdale review contains spoilers.
Riverdale Season 3 Episode 7
"My king, my savior, guide me through the night, bless me with your darkness, guide me with your flight."
Well, that was something, wasn't it?
Like last season's "Tales from the Darkside," this latest episode of Riverdale plays fast and loose with the series' traditional narrative structure to tell three separate stories that are united by the common threat posed by the titular "Man in Black," Hiram Lodge. Lodge has long been a threat to our guys and gals, but in the show's third season his evil deeds are being shown to be far-reaching. More than just a corrupt businessman, he is now established as a puppet master controlling entire towns, a drug kingpin, and the force behind the Gryphons and Gargoyles craze that we now have learned is sweeping through several communities.

Welp, “Riverdale” just shook up all its key players and threw them out to different corners of the teen drama’s game board. (Too soon for a Gryphons & Gargoyles reference? Never.)
Wednesday’s installment in The CW’s dark take on Archie Comics ended with Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Archie (Kj Apa), Veronica (Camila Mendes), and Betty (Lili Reinhart) in three very different places — both emotionally and geographically.

The idea of teens having free time was also new and mandatory attendance at high school was just a few decades old. It was a perfect place to explore what it meant to have leisure time to pursue personal interests be it the opposite sex or cars or sports or whatever.
The Archie comics have endured largely through their universality and their gentle humorous antics. Wisely, the company belatedly acknowledged the changing times and revamped the look and feel of the characters with the brilliant Mark Waid/Fiona Staples run which brought national attention and increased sales to the company. (Their digests continued to display the “classic” material.)
The universality and humor was retained but introduced more contemporary themes and issues. This got television interested and the ubiquitous Greg Berlanti...

The goal of “Riverdale,” according to creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, is always to push boundaries. After a second season that saw episodes take on the tone of “Zodiac” in a small town, “Tales From The Darkside,” and “The Godfather,” the CW’s dramatic adaptation of classic Archie Comics characters is getting musical.
“[Our characters] are kids who, even though they get involved in crime and stuff, are still high school kids — and high school kids do musicals every year,” Aguirre-Sacasa tells Variety. “So it feels like, on a show with high school kids, it’s easy to get to [a story where] we’re doing a musical. It’s one of the kind of classic coming-of-age rites of passage.”
Airing April 18, the episode entitled “Chapter Thirty-One: A Night To Remember” sees the students at Riverdale High — including Archie (Kj Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Kevin (Casey Cott) and Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) — mounting...

Even if some of their films haven’t been your cup of tea, none of us can deny the force in the industry that Blumhouse Productions has become. In the past decade or so, they’ve enthralled audiences with new franchises such as Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Ouija, The Purge and, my personal favorite, Sinister, to name but a few.
But now, they’re aiming to find new ways of keeping us awake at night, this time via the growing digital streaming market. In fact, they’re pairing with the immensely popular platform Hulu for what Variety describes as being a “new series, part of the Hulu Originals slate, [which] will deliver viewers 12 self-contained stories — a new episode premiering each month over one year.”
Currently, details remain scarce, but despite each episode telling a standalone tale, a connective device is to be expected. Thus, this anthology could end up feeling like Tales from the Darkside...

“This place aint for the faint-hearted,” warns Rolo Haynes, conscienceless exploiter of other people’s misfortunes and curator of the Black Museum. “I think I can handle it” laughs young tourist Nish.
Oh, she can handle it.
This neatly woven anthology of three mini-stories is anchored by two excellent performances. The first is from British actor Letitia Wright, who’s soon to be seen in Marvel’s Black Panther, the second from the hugely charismatic Douglas Hodge (also British) as Haynes, emcee of this horror show.
