5 Murderous Clown Horror Movies To Pair With 'Clown in a Cornfield'

1 week ago | dreadcentral.com | Sharai Bohannon

We were lucky enough to catch Clown in a Cornfield at SXSW this year and have had clowns on the brain ever since. This got me thinking about all of the clowns haunting the horror genre on screen (and on social media). So, I went down a never-ending rabbit hole where I visited many creepy clowns. The kind from outer space, the resurrected ones, and even a clown who slays in an opera house. This also introduced me to more titles in this sinister subgenre.
The Best Horror You Can Stream on Mother's Day 2025

Some of my favorite unsung heroes in the horror genre are murderous mothers. These women practically yell, “fuck those kids” and set out to show us what real terror looks like. We have many like, Mrs. Voorhees in Friday the 13th (1980), Ruth Harker in Longlegs, and, of course, Nancy Loomis in Scream 2. However, some devious moms take their work more seriously than others. Some of the ladies in this genre understand that anyone can catch the business end of a knife at any time.
Monstrous Mothers: Unveiling the Horror in 'Mommie Dearest' and 'Umma'

1 week ago | horrorpress.com | Sharai Bohannon

I challenged myself to fill a gap in my cinema history this month and watched Mommie Dearest. I was very familiar with the movie due to how many drag queens reference it and because of Joan Crawford’s villainous reputation. However, I had never seen it in its entirety before, which is weird because I write about my own maternal baggage often. Without ever seeing the film, I knew this movie, categorized as a drama, belonged under my favorite genre label.
5 Sickening David Cronenberg Films To Watch Before 'The Shrouds'

1 week ago | dreadcentral.com | Sharai Bohannon

As a ’90s kid, I wasn’t around for when most of my favorite David Cronenberg movies premiered. That’s why I ran to see his new film, The Shrouds, at the Overlook Film Fest this year. I was happy to finally see something on the big screen from the man who holds such titles as The Baron of Blood and King of Venereal Horror. The Shrouds is still a very futuristic sci-fi body horror. However, it is also a personal film from a beloved filmmaker grieving his late wife.
The Best Horror You Can Stream on Shudder in May 2025

It’s zombie month here at Horror Press, so it is time to continue my effort to transform the site into a compendium of knowledge about the ZOMBIES franchise (which is stylized as Z-O-M-B-I-E-S because they want to give me premature arthritis from typing it that way all the time).
The 5 Best Horror Video Game Adaptations According To Rotten Tomatoes

3 weeks ago | dreadcentral.com | Sharai Bohannon

I grew up playing survival horror video games and being disappointed by most of their film adaptations. However, that hasn’t stopped me from getting excited about Until Dawn heading to the big screen. I doubt anything will live up to the experience of the beloved game co-written by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick. However, I am eager to see what this movie retains from the game. With all of this in mind, I set out to do something different with this week’s streaming guide.
[REVIEW] ‘Until Dawn’: A Bland Adaptation Of A Great Game

Remember that trend a few years ago where everyone was bringing up their kindertrauma? Well it’s high time that resurfaces. There are a handful of traumatic moments from my childhood that still make me double-take when the lights are off, and my TV is shut off for the night. The first that comes to mind is the tooth fairy from Darkness Falls. The second is the opening scene from 28 Weeks Later, when Don (Robert Carlyle) sprints away while zombies overtake his wife and friends.
5 Iconic Black Vampires To Watch After 'Sinners'

3 weeks ago | dreadcentral.com | Sharai Bohannon

As a professional Blerd, I’m always very interested in what Ryan Coogler is working on. So, I leaned forward when I discovered the man who gave us the game-changing Black Panther was finally doing a horror movie. I nearly wept tears of joy when it was announced that the movie would add more Black vampires to the canon. Sinners is already a win for the culture as far as I’m concerned. However, if it’s half as good as any of Coogler’s previous films, I will implode in a theater near me this weekend.
[REVIEW] ‘Sinners’: Ryan Coogler’s First Horror Movie Is For The Culture

Found footage is one of the most perfect conduits to tell a story. It’s cheap to film, you can get away with more, and you typically aren’t confined to preconceived tropes. One of the biggest questions in a found footage film is an amalgamation of 1) who is filming, 2) why are they still filming, and 3) how are we seeing this footage that has been found? Frogman and The Outwaters did an excellent job of setting a new bar for found footage going forward.

Howdy, Horror Press reader! You know usually I’d start the article with a folksy aphorism, or a fun story, but Editor James-Michael said “think fast” and threw some sort of rat-monkey into the basement where I type these articles up before shutting the door. Long story short, I’ve been bitten by it and I’m having trouble focusing, so right to brass tacks. Today we’ll be highlighting the best zombie films you can watch on Shudder, to make that movie night selection just a little bit easier.
