Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane, Hysteria! will be exploring America’s dark history of mass hysteria through the shocking story of the teenage Satanic Panic. The series follows a group of 1980s high school misfits as they exploit the growing hysteria around teen occult activity. Here’s the full official synopsis: When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.

In the wake of ten new horror movies releasing last week, this week is bringing even more fresh frights to the table. Today alone, ELEVEN new movies have already been offered up.

Here’s all the new horror that released on Tuesday, September 24, 2024!

With the remake of Speak No Evil out I was thinking about this topic. I can find that there are times where it's OK to make remakes and times where it's not. I like Chris Stuckmann's take on it; if it adds something more to the movie than what was already there to begin with go for it. But if it's just a frame by frame remake what gives? Why should I not just watch the original movie?

Speak No Evil is a really amazing movie that I really have a hard time understanding why they would make a remake of. It really did not need one, the original is really so good and effective that It will scare most people.

What do you guys think about this subject?

Spoiler alert: Do not watch the trailer of the remake if you haven't watched any of them. It's going to totally ruin the movie as it spoils mostly everything involving the plot.

This week brings an eclectic mix of new horror movies, including NEON’s latest in theaters, the return of Terrifier 2‘s Lauren LaVera, and even an unofficial Mickey Mouse slasher movie.

Here’s all the new horror releasing August 5 – August 11, 2024!

• The Mouse Trap

• Ganymede

• Cuckoo

• Duchess

• The Well

“There’s something out there. That… that witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives… out in those woods, in the dark… something… something that’s come back from the dead.”

While promoting his Peacock series, Hysteria, horror legend Bruce Campbell revealed that they’re developing an Evil Dead animated series and he’ll be returning to voice Ash, according to a report on Entertainment Weekly.

“We are developing an animated version, like a series,” he said. “I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long, because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”

When speaking about the films, Campbell went on to say “We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash. The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.”

A release date for the animated series has yet to be revealed.

I'm bored and want some suggestions! I love extreme cinema so throw it at me!

Filmmaker Osgood Perkins’ eerie, occultist serial-killer horror thriller “Longlegs” opens with a psyche-rattling sequence, barely a minute or two long, in which he crafts a chilling sense of shock, awe and humor simply through shot composition, editing and performance. It unsettles the viewer on a bone-deep level, the tension bursting like a bubble on a bravura music cue.

It is scary — only because of how it is presented formally, not necessarily thanks to any of the basic actions or imagery on screen — and it is thrilling because Perkins announces from the outset his audacious approach to tone as well as his mastery of cinematic technique to create suspense. The tension never lets up throughout “Longlegs,” though it is peppered with a dry, black humor that somehow just makes everything more disturbing. (...)

Our Summer Horror Preview 2024 is here! The 2024 slate of summer horror releases looks packed, which is excellent news, considering the year has gotten off to a sluggish start for the genre at the box office. Not only is the release schedule so stacked that it’s guaranteed to keep us distracted while we wait for Halloween, but this summer also brings some of the year’s most anticipated titles from MaXXXine to Alien: Romulus and Longlegs.

This guide covers the highlights of what’s already been announced, but as always, expect a handful of streaming, Digital, and VOD releases to pop up over the next few months as well.

Here are 24 horror movies you don’t want to miss in Summer 2024…

Handling The Undead is a norwegian horror movie based on a swedish book by the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In). It's a very unusual zombie movie as it focuses very much on the grief and pain the families of dead ones goes through and then they struggle even more once their loved ones comes back to life. I think it was a great slow burner, I love those types of horror movies that take their time. But I have to say it would have been better if they speeded up the beginning a bit.

It's out on rent right now and will most likely come on streaming later. I watched it on Apple TV+, it was like $12 there. I can recommend it, just note that it is slow and it's not the usual zombie flix.

I'm norwegian and very rarely watch norwegian movies because I find them extremely boring. This on the other hand was interesting, mostly because of Renate Reinsve. She recently played the leading role in The Worst Person in the World, a movie I would highly recommend if you're into drama movies. She is really one of our best actors at this point in time.

Trigger warning: It contains scenes of suicide attempts and a dead child coming back to life. There is also a few violent scenes but it wasn't to bad in this part. There were no blood that I can remember which I found odd.

We've all different and got different reasons why we like horror. What's your reason?

I saw this movie this week and I thought it was pretty good. At first I was like "not again" about the ending but after thinking about it, it was pretty clever. Charlie Shotwell plays amazingly in his role as Eli and Lili Taylor as his doctor. It's creepy from the get-go with this old house that have been renovated for special patients.

One of the thing that made less sense to me, and this will be spoiler so I will use spoiler tag:

What do you guys think about this movie? It's on Netflix.
