New: Sinners & Weapons (HBO Max)
I know what you’re saying, “Everyone knows about these movies!” But not everyone has pulled up a couch to watch, and frankly, they’re amongst the best films - not just horror films - released in 2025. Considering the Oscars are around the corner, now is the time to witness the brilliance that Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo bring to Ryan Coogler’s vampire siege tale, and follow it up with Amy Madigan’s incredible turn in Weapons. Now on HBO Max.
GORE-O-METER 🩸🩸🩸 out of 5Classic: A Chinese Ghost Story (Shudder)
Take a little Evil Dead II-style comedy, add Wuxia action, and some romance, and you’ve got one of the best horror hybrids of the 1980s! Directed by Ching Siu-tung (The Swordsman) and produced by Tsui Hark (Once Upon a Time in China), this movie is a simple story about an unlucky guy who must save a beautiful ghost woman from an evil tree. Tale as old as time… A CHINESE GHOST STORY is a movie that contains too many genres to appropriately work — and yet, it manages to create something immensely entertaining. I can’t wait for you to let me know what you thought about it after you watch. Highly recommended and now on Shudder.
GORE-O-METER🩸out of 5“How Is This Free?” I Saw The TV Glow (PlutoTV)
We must be in a golden age of horror, because we’ve been blessed to witness so many new voices in the genre stake their claims with such beautiful brutality. TV GLOW is the second film from Jane Shoenbrun — it’s heartbreaking and awe-inspiring in equal measure, telling the story of two friends who first bond over a Buffy the Vampire Slayer-via-Nickelodeon-style show, only to discover something inside of them is emerging. Something one of them wants to keep hidden. Keep some tissues close by for this one. Streaming for free on PlutoTV

It’s Ladies Night of the Living Dead
FANGORIA has the exclusive first look at 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR, a new documentary from the “horror nonna” herself, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (Chain Reactions), as well as Donna Davies (Nightmare Factory), exploring how women have creatively steered horror in all its forms since Mary Shelly penned Frankenstein. Included are experts like Akela Cooper (writer of M3GAN), Mary Harron (director of American Psycho), Kier-La Janisse (author of House of Psychotic Women), and Kate Siegel (Midnight Mass, Hush), among many other luminaries.

The Autopsy
Sometimes, you need to be surrounded by your people. That’s part of what draws me to the Dead Right Horror Trivia competition each month in downtown Burbank, CA, the sleepy suburbanite sister of LA. Since 2013, on the third Thursday of each month, hosts Jared Rivet and director/author/USC Professor Rebekah McKendry have been quizzing teams of six on insanely difficult horror trivia at Blast From The Past. The room is comprised of a crowded throng of fans, filmmakers, and industry folk united in the frustration of not being able to remember some arcane horror movie detail that’s right on the tip of their tongues in order to advance to the next round.
Last month, my team (Dawn of the Deadites) was lucky enough to place second, thanks to our knowledge of voice-over cues from two Body Snatcher films and another from Ghoulies of all things. Teams competing included Super Mario Bava, The Autopsy of Jane D-Oh!, and The Frogurt Is Also Cursed, among others, but the ultimate victors were McCready’s Beard. Sure, we’re there to win prizes and bragging rights, but mostly it’s to ask how someone’s doing, find out what people are working on, and see everyone’s finest horror-themed tee shirts.
Nights like these are about the community of it all. Meeting new friends and greeting old ones. It’s another reason why I started this newsletter. I’d love for you and me to grow that same kind of community online. Not everyone has easy access to local horror revival screenings, trivia nights, or horror-con events, and I’d like to lower the barrier for people from all over the world to gather, commiserate, and enjoy a fun horror film together.
So if you haven’t signed up to join us at the first-ever SCREAM SHARE VIRTUAL WATCH PARTY of FRIDAY THE 13th PART V: A NEW BEGINNING, click the button below now! The first one’s FREE on Friday, March 13th! I can’t wait to talk to you in the live chat.

Killer Conversation
Let’s all get to know each other a little better…
The "Hot Take" Remake Battle
Last week’s “Undead and Loving It” poll saw backwoods mutant and OG “Dirty Peanut” Jason Voorhees run away with the title of comfort slasher icon with 62% of the vote, Chucky pulled second place, while Freddy Krueger did not get his dream finish in third. Somewhat surprising was Michael Myers drawing ZERO votes, but maybe he’s just too seasonal?
Pod People
This week on the Kill By Kill podcast, we danced like nobody was watching, but the Three Mothers were watching as we talked skeletons with wigs, exploding heads, corpse hooks, dick slaps, and Luca Guadagnino’s version of SUSPERIA (2018). Click below to listen in.
