SYNOPSIS A group of social outcasts, stuck in weekend detention, find themselves confronted by their school’s legendary hauntings. REVIEW September’s issue of the Blumhouse produced horror-anthology series Into the Dark very much feels as if it began life purely as a concept, with that concept being that they wanted to turn The Breakfast Club into a slasher flick. Now, as concepts go, that’s really not a bad hook. Bring in a group of dysfunctional school archetypes, put them in a room together and drama is likely to ensue. Throw a crazed killer on the loose in the school’s ventilation system with…

And so it begins. The success of IT basically guaranteed that we were going to get an onslaught of killer clown movies, and with IT: Chapter Two incoming, we’d better get prepared. First up is Jack in the Box from Writer/Director Lawrence Fowler (Curse of the Witch’s Doll), as he pulls out the old children’s toy to cause some havoc. For just a teaser, the trailer doesn’t give away much, but I do appreciate the pretty cool-looking clown make up. No release date as of yet, but Jack in a Box stars Ethan Taylor, Robert Nairne, Lucy-Jane Quinlan, Philip Ridout…

It’s been a long time coming for the second season of Mindhunter. The David Fincher series, originally released in 2017, has had a two-year gap between seasons and we couldn’t be more excited to see it brought back this August 16th. The new season will explore the “Atlanta child murders,” a series of killings between 1979-1981, where at least 28 African American children, teenagers, and adults were killed. Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany will be returning as the two lead detectives, this time consulting with two other killers alongside the scene-stealing Edward Kemper, bringing in Charles Manson and the Son…
In news that really makes you wonder how much time James Wan has on his hands, it’s been revealed today that the Conjuring director will direct the upcoming pilot for a TV series based off the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise for Amazon.

The 1997 slasher movie focused on four young friends being stalked by a hooked man after hitting someone with their car the previous summer, and featured one of the hottest casts of the 90s. A remake…
It seems like The Breakfast Club is back in action with Hulu’s first trailer for their next holiday-themed horror movie, School Spirit. The new movie is the eleventh entry into their horror anthology series “Into the Dark” and follows the rather excellent last entry, Culture Shock. In classic Breakfast Club style, the new movie will follow a group of social outcasts as they complete weekend detention, except this time, there’s a guy stalking them in a pirate mask, and possibly some ghosts? It’s a basic slasher set up, but one that could be a lot of fun if they take…
