'Crimson Peak' Is an Odd Artistic Film with a Few Ghosts Sprinkled In. You Have a Better Chance of Getting More Horror out of 'Goosebumps.'
Every time October comes around, I make it my mission to go and see a bone chilling scary movie that has me jumping every five minutes. That being said I would also like to see a great story to go along with my shrill feminine screams.

On Yer' Mike: Get A First Look At Blumhouse's 'Halloween' Reboot Movie
If you are anything like me, you will already start planning your Halloween costume a year in advance, however, All Hallow's Eve 2018 just got a lot more exciting. A reboot to the popular #Halloween franchise will see #MichaelMyers return to cinemas for the first time since 2009 — and no, I don't mean Austin Powers.

Are You Coming On A 'Slay' Ride? Kevin Smith Is Directing Creepshow- Inspired Christmas Anthology
Oh #KevinSmith, where would cinema be without you? The brash director who brought us the likes of Clerks and Mallrats, was once in the running to direct DC's The Flash, and even named his daughter after Harley Quinn, but now he is heading back to his horror roots for his latest venture.

Is 'Split' Scary? The 10 Most Shocking Moments From M. Night Shyamalan's Horror
I have trouble dealing with one personality, let alone 24, but James McAvoy seems to be winning over critics in M. Night Shyamalan's latest blockbuster. Billed as a psychological thriller akin to the rest of Shyamalan's work, Split has thrown its hat into the ring as one of 2017's best horrors; all that and it only came out in January. In a year of resurrecting Jigsaw, chestbursting xenomorphs, and another round of Child's Play, how does #Split bring home the bacon in the #horror stakes?

'Underworld: Blood Wars' Sucks The Life Out Of The Franchise With Disastrous Opening Weekend
Uh oh, it looks like bad news for the Underworld universe, as Underworld: Blood Wars has been slain by the competition in cinemas with a frankly frightful opening weekend. We here at Movie Pilot, we already tipped Blood Wars to be something of a marmite affair, even calling the death of #KateBeckinsale's career one of 2016's saddest on-screen deaths. However, it is now official that Blood Wars sucks. Perhaps we should have stuck a stake through the heart of Lycans vs. vamps after the fourth film.

Reinventing The Zombie Genre: 'The Girl With All The Gifts' Is The Best Present You Still Need To Open
While the wave of reanimated corpses still has us as gripped in 2017 as in the Romero days of 1968, Hollywood struggles more and more for a way to keep us infected with our fascination with #zombies. Just as 28 Days Later reinvented the zombie genre with fast-moving munchers, 2016's The Girl with All the Gifts gives another spin on the tale, putting children at the forefront of the outbreak, used as both a weapon and a cure for zombification.

The Thing: Make Horror Great Again
In the current wave of modern horror movies, many audience members have been accustomed to the infamous “jump scare.” The music increases in tempo, the surrounding noises are drowned out, and before the audience has time to prepare itself for the incoming scare, the villain jumps out at the main character (and the viewer) making the audience’s heart skip a beat. Although there are some films that are able to correctly utilize a jump scare (think of the twins from The Shining) modern horror movies have fallen guilty to creating predictable jump scares that don’t necessarily “scare” us, just end up startling us. Regan from The Exorcist terrified audiences not because her screen time was accompanied by thunderous music and quick cuts, but because audiences were generally terrified by the practical effects, suspenseful atmosphere and haunting tone that had already been established throughout the movie.

You'd Better Chuck Up Your Ideas: Horror Icon Returns In 'Cult Of Chucky' Teaser Trailer
Alongside evil clowns, masked murderers, and Slendermen, possessed dolls are probably the creepiest creatures out there in the horror world. As one of horror's longest-surviving film franchises, Brad Dourif's #Chucky will once again return for the seventh #ChildsPlay film later this year: Cult of Chucky.

2016 Is A Scream: Someone Just Turned The Worst Year Ever Into A Horror Film!
When a trailer contains the words "guys, they shot a gorilla," you know you ain't about to watch The Jungle Book, and the latest horror film from YouTubers Friend Dog Studios is an ode to the year that has been. 2016 may have been a great year for the horror genre as the likes of Hush, Don't Breathe, and Holidays have kept us hiding behind the sofa, but what if 2016 had actually been a horror film itself?

Fancy a Descent Through Hell Itself? 'The Void' Is Waiting for You
A bloodied man, a dilapidated hospital and a cult of worshipers carrying daggers are just some of the ingredients in the cosmic horror flick #TheVoid. It's the latest in this never-ending '80s-inspired train of movies. The difference? This one actually kicks some serious ass! It's from the warped imagination of VFX and design masters Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie. Does it honestly deliver the horror goods, you ask? Well, you better hold on to something as I take you through this psychological mind-bender personally.
