During the month of October, it’s fairly common for people to talk about spirits. After all, ghosts and demons and the like have become staples of the Halloween season. But for Scooby-Doo, Thirteen Ghosts, and Scream star Matthew Lillard, his latest project deals with a very different kind of spirit: The alcoholic kind.
Lillard joined forces with screenwriter and producer Justin Ware to start Find Familiar Spirits in 2022. Named after a famous Dungeons & Dragons spell, the alcohol brand is dedicated to crafting spirits with the same authenticity and kinship found in fandom. Their first line of products was dubbed Queen’s End Whiskey in honor of fantasy tabletop gaming. But now, in an ode to the horror community, the company has launched Macabre Spirits, which features a series of tequilas that celebrate the genre that the actor has become so entrenched in throughout his career.

The director of Host and Stephen King’s The Boogeyman, Rob Savage is next directing a horror movie titled Molepeople, which seems to be inspired by the 1956 classic The Mole People.
Deadline reports that Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) and Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom) will star in Rob Savage’s Molepeople, which is set in New York City.
The film is being pitched as “one man’s nightmarish descent into the abandoned tunnels beneath the streets of New York City, where a twisted society lurks.”
Nathan Elston (Succession) wrote the screenplay, with Raphael Margules and J.D Lifshitz of BoulderLight Pictures (Woman of the Hour) producing alongside Rough House Pictures (Halloween).
Embankment’s Hugo Grumbar said, “Molepeople fuels a modern audience with shocks and thrills, captivating, heightened feelings of fear. Rob’s direction is stylish; BoulderLight’s understanding of modern audiences is unmatched – and together the filmmakers are best in class.

Stephen King's book It, about a child-eating clown called Pennywise who terrorizes the small town of Derry on and off for decades, has been terrifying people ever since it first hit bookshelves in 1986. More recently, Andy Muschietti directed a pair of movies based on It that did quite well at the box office, well enough for HBO to greenlight a show set in Derry, decades before the events of the main story. It's called It: Welcome to Derry.
Normally I'd say this sounds like HBO is stretching, but two things make me optimistic: first, It is an enormous book, and there probably is enough in there to base a show on. Welcome to Derry will be based on the "interludes" throughout the book, when one of the main characters, Mike Hanlon, investigates incidents in Derry's past where Pennywise crawled out of his hole to wreck havoc, whipping the...

From Scream to Scooby-Doo to Five Nights at Freddy’s, Matthew Lillard has had a stronghold on burgeoning horror fans for generations. The actor has combined his love for genre storytelling and his appreciation for potent potables with Macabre Spirits.
The horror-themed tequila line is the latest from Find Familiar Spirits, Lillard’s fandom-centric alcohol brand that was founded in 2022. It launched with the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired Quest’s End Whiskey, which itself spawned from Lillards D&d company, Beadle & Grimm’s Pandemonium Warehouse.
Lillard explains, “I have a company called Beadle & Grimm’s with four of my best friends from the acting school I went to for college. We’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons since we were 21, and we started this company that delivers high-end D&d products right to your door.”

The news that there will definitely be a Matlock Season 2 is exciting, but there’s a question lingering over it.
The central premise depends on Kathy Bates’ Madeline infiltrating Jacobson and Moore to prove one or more of the lawyers working there covered up the existence of documents related to the opioid crisis.
The original plan was for Madeline to get her proof by the end of Matlock Season 1, but that doesn’t seem to leave much room for any interesting stories in Season 2. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways that Matlock can deal with this problem.
(Sonja Flemming/CBS) Matlock Season 2 Could Pull An Elsbeth
Elsbeth had a similar problem at the end of Season 1.
With the case against Captain Wagner over, there was no real reason for Elsbeth to stay in New York for Season 2, so the writers had Wagner invite her to stay on as a consultant.

We finally have some concrete plot details for the upcoming series "It: Welcome to Derry." As the title suggests, this will expand upon the two-film adaptation of Stephen King's beloved novel, serving as a prequel to those films. Director Andy Muschietti and his producing partner (and sister) Barbara Muschietti are back (Andy will direct four out of nine episodes of season 1), and they're using this as an excuse to tackle portions of the novel they didn't have time for previously, including arguably the scariest scene from the novel.

Sheila is one of the best villains to grace The Bold and the Beautiful. She first appeared on The Young and the Restless before becoming a staple on the sister soap. Sheila has a long list of crimes that would make most horror movie villains blush. Here are some of her most gruesome acts that even Stephen King wouldn’t think of.
The Baby Snatcher
Long before Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) became obsessed with Finn, she was snatching other people’s babies. She held Lauren Fenmore (Tracy Bergman) and her mother, Molly (Marilyn Alex), at gunpoint.
Molly ended up having a stroke. She tried to confess to Lauren that Sheila had her baby. Sheila set the cabin on fire, where she was supposedly left for dead.

Legendary author Stephen King destroyed the world in his 1978 novel The Stand (which got an expanded edition in 1990), unleashing a virus that wiped out most of the population… but once society had crumbled, there was hope that the survivors would find a way to carry on. After, of course, a confrontation between good and supernatural evil decided which path would be taken. Although the entire world is affected by the pandemic, King keeps his focus on American characters because he envisioned The Stand as being an American Lord of the Rings. But if other authors had the chance to write something that takes place in the world of The Stand, they could tell the stories of what happened in other locations around the globe, as well as dig into characters that didn’t get the spotlight in King’s novel. We’ll get to find out exactly what at least...

Stephen King is one of the most celebrated and iconic horror writers of all time, but he's also a storyteller whose work has been adapted into dozens of movies and TV shows with, shall we say, mixed results. While some of the very best films of all time are based on King's work like "The Shining" and "The Shawshank Redemption," there are plenty of utter trash movies that have a "based on the novel by Stephen King" credit. Still, even if they may be a toss coin in terms of quality a lot of the time, any new Stephen King adaptation is at least worth paying attention to.

“This is a book we love a lot, and we felt that there was still a lot of story to be covered,” Andy and Barbara Muschietti tell EW. “It’s so rich with characters and events, we thought we would do justice to the book and the fans by going back into this world.”

Stephen King often takes to Twitter (I'm never going to call it that other thing) to give us timely movie and series recommendations, highlight under-the-radar gems, or simply express the joy of reading a good book. As one of the world's greatest authors, King intimately understands the inner workings of the horror genre, including themes that work best to provoke the human imagination and induce anxiety with the help of a sustained suspension of disbelief. The writer's horror-related recommendations have always been top notch; a few years back, King praised a 2016 supernatural horror film on Twitter and advised us to not watch it alone:
"The Autopsy Of Jane Doe: Visceral horror to rival Alien and early Cronenberg. Watch it, but not alone."
He's right. André Øvredal's "The Autopsy of Jane Doe," which we reviewed upon release, understands that the gnarliest kind of horror lies in the unraveling of a simple premise,...

The Original Title for Stranger Things That Was Almost Chosen—How It Could Have Changed Everything! (Photo Credit – Netflix)
Stranger Things as we know it? Almost didn’t exist. In the show’s earliest days, the Duffer Brothers pitched it as Montauk, set in a gritty New York coastal town. And instead of Hawkins, Indiana, the supernatural epic was nearly built around the mysterious, conspiracy-laden “Montauk Project.” The premise? A covert government experiment in mind control, time travel, and bizarre tests served as a spine-tingling inspiration for the show. But when Netflix came on board, the Duffers shifted gears, and “Montauk” morphed into a tale of bikes, brave kids, and one terrifying Demogorgon.
Released in 2016, Stranger Things snuck up on summer audiences and quickly became an overnight sensation. Part mystery, part horror, and 100% nostalgia, the show took off with its ensemble cast of curious kids, led by Eleven, a girl with telekinetic powers.

Popularly known for being the master of horror and suspense, with a number of spine-tingling tales under his belt, even Stephen King was once blindsided by unexpected enchantment. Reading J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book, King claimed to be “moderately impressed” with it. Well, it’s hardly the reaction you’d expect from a literary giant, towards a beloved piece of literature.

However, fate took a turn when a major road accident left Stephen King bedridden on painkillers, and he found himself committing to the rest of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding saga. What followed was a magical transformation, as King became not just a reader, but an avid fan, showering praises on Rowling for being a literary genius.

Darren Aronofsky and Mark Heyman have worked together several times over the years. Heyman was Aronofsky’s assistant when he made The Fountain, then he was the co-producer on The Wrestler, a writer on Black Swan, and an executive producer on Mother! So now that Heyman is set to make his feature directorial debut with the horror film Pendulum, it’s good to see that Aronofsky is there to back him up, producing the film through his company Protozoa. A press release sent out today has also revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt of The Dark Knight Rises and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F has signed on to star in the film, which is set to start filming in New Mexico next March.
Pendulum will tell the following story: Young couple Patrick (Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event.

When you see images of Charlotte Kirk looking like a tough action heroine, you usually expect those images to be from a Neil Marshall film, as the couple has recently collaborated on Duchess, The Lair, and The Reckoning – but yesterday, the folks at Coming Soon unveiled a trio of images that show Kirk as the tough heroine in the upcoming action thriller Myra, and this is not a Neil Marshall movie. Currently in production in Tijuana, Mexico, Myra is coming our way from director R.

Certain names are synonymous with horror. Hollywood has titans of terror from John Carpenter to Wes Craven, but there is only one “King of Horror,” Stephen King.
The man has a once-in-a-generation level of talent that he has been using to terrorize society since his first short story, “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber.” Since then, his writing catalog has grown quite a bit.
By a bit, I mean Stephen King has written around sixty-five novels and has eighty-five movie credits to his name. At some point, you must ask yourself, what’s going on in Stephen King’s head? The ultra-prolific Ryan Murphy has nothing on this legend.

There's no shortage of Stephen King shows on TV. The prolific horror author's works have been translated to the small screen no fewer than two dozen times across five-plus decades, beginning with Tobe Hooper's "Salem's Lot" miniseries in 1979 and spanning all the way to an upcoming "Sleeping Beauties" adaptation and Mike Flanagan's highly anticipated take on "The Dark Tower." Plenty of King shows have enjoyed celebrated runs and completed the stories their creators planned to tell, but there are a few that slipped through the cracks and were canceled too soon. Among them is "The Outsider," an utterly creepy King adaptation that got the short end of the stick when it debuted in 2020.
"The Outsider" earned rave reviews when it premiered on HBO in January of that year, but by the time its finale aired, the world had other things on its mind.

Is Eleven closely connected to the Demogorgon? (Photo Credit – Instagram)
What if Eleven isn’t just the girl with superpowers but tied to the Demogorgon in ways that would make even the Upside Down dizzy? Yeah, it sounds bonkers, but stick with me. The Demogorgon, aka “the Monster,” strutted into Hawkins, Indiana, in November 1983, flipping the script on small-town life faster than you can say “Dungeons & Dragons.”
Let’s rewind: when Eleven—a little girl with psychokinetic skills sharper than a Demogorgon’s teeth—tapped into her powers, she unknowingly cracked open the door to the terrifying Upside Down. Talk about a bad hair day! During her time at Hawkins National Laboratory, Eleven’s psychic shenanigans sent a ripple through dimensions, making her the unintentional matchmaker for a gruesome romance between her world and the demonic Demogorgon.

I’m honestly a little shocked that we’re already at the end of October, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop watching horror movies!

Check out the list of 15 of James Wan’s favourite vampire movies below!
Bram Stoker’s Dracula The Night Stalker (1972) Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter Vampire Circus Vampire Lovers Horror of Dracula Salem’s Lot (1979) Dracula (1931) Nosferatu (1922) Interview with the Vampire Near Dark Fright Night Blade Subspecies II Planet of the Vampires
As a big fan of Hammer Horror, it’s great to see a few of their iconic vampire movies on this list. Horror of Dracula is a particular favourite. You just can’t beat Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

James Wan has more than earned his inclusion in the pantheon of horror maestros. Over a 20-year career that started in 2004 with "Saw," Wan has mostly stayed true to the genre, making films about monsters human, ghostly and adorably parasitic (who doesn't love that ghastly cutie Gabriel from "Malignant"?). His films are fun, funny, and almost always terrifying in surprising ways (i.e. when he's not making superhero or action movies). Wan works an audience like a showman who's carefully studied the tricks of his predecessors, so when he makes a list of his favorite movies, you'd do well to add those titles to your viewing queue -- especially if you're an aspiring director yourself.
As a horror aficionado, Wan is also worth listening to when he breaks down his favorites by subgenre. Even if he's never knocked out a zombie flick or a werewolf movie, learning his preferences can...

If you’re a fan of soap operas, then you know that change is slow to come to the world of daytime drama.
The biggest soaps have been on the air for decades, and in many cases, the world they portray today doesn’t look all that different from the one they depicted 20 or 30 years ago.
But a new era is soon to begin on CBS, as the network prepares for the historic premiere of Beyond the Gates.

The show is TV’s first new soap since 1999, and it’s the first broadcast daytime drama with a primarily Black cast.
Earlier today, CBS announced some major additions to the cast of Beyond the Gates, including legendary TV actor Clifton Davis.
According to a press release, Davis will play “Vernon Dupree, the Dupree family patriarch married to Anita and father to Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson and Dani Dupree.

Nick Cutter writes some of the scariest, goriest horror novels around, yet the Canadian author is very mild-mannered. While firing up our Zoom conversation to discuss his new book, “The Queen,” I told Cutter I was riveted by the story, but my wife could only make it halfway through the galley, as the vivid descriptions of body horror and insects made her stomach churn.
“Oh, she wouldn’t be the first one and she won’t be the last,” he says with a gentle laugh. “Not only with that one but probably some of the other Cutter books.”
Cutter is the pen name of Craig Davidson, who also writes under his government name and as Patrick Lestewka. He notes that the Cutter persona speaks to “the horror that I grew up on”: Stephen King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz, of course, but more specifically “men and women in the drugstore spinning rack.

Stephen King’s The Shining is all the proof you need to accept the fact that words on a page can haunt you for days. The timeless horror novel had readers sweating with dread and anticipation yet they couldn’t stop and the pages kept turning. When Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation came out, it impressed Steven Spielberg to the point where he watched it about 25 times. On the other hand, Clint Eastwood was not a fan.

This stark difference between the reception by two exquisite personalities of the entertainment industry resembles the mixed reviews received by The Shining (1980). In fact, Clint Eastwood even went as far as to call it a giant failure that’s not terrifying at all.

If there's one thing Stephen King knows pretty well, it's villains. The prolific horror author has been writing basically nonstop since he released "Carrie," his debut novel, back in 1974, and his work has been endlessly adapted for both the big and small screen.

From literary icons to on-screen favorites to a villain with a confusingly familiar name — I'll clarify that whole thing when we arrive at that point — here are Stephen King's top ten villains of all time, whom he ranked for Entertainment Weekly at the close of the aughts.
