“Don’t make a spectacle out of Black violence so you can get a few hundred likes and feel good about yourself. I’m not another one of your little paintings that you can fix up to perfection and cloak in a lie of sincerity.”

While “The Midnight Club” initially intrigues with a horror narrative following a cast of terminally ill patients, it unfortunately fumbles and falls flat compared to Flanagan’s previous works.

"Pearl" is worth seeing because Goth doesn’t stop at that wishful dreaming — as though she would’ve been a well-adjusted girl if only her Ma let her out once in a while. No, Pearl’s desire for more than what she has undoes her.

Boisterous yet also containing a light touch, the film manages to never betray its own characters for the sake of a cheap thrill or laugh.

It’s been a good summer for horror — “X”; “Crimes of the Future”; “Nope”; “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies”; and now, Andrew Semans’ “Resurrection.”

As a huge horror fan, I’d like to believe that I’d survive any situation. If you don’t know yourself, test out your skills and thinking to see if you’d survive a horror movie.

The next day, I still hadn’t gotten enough of Ito’s work. So I started to read one of his most popular mangas, called “Uzumaki.” While I had gone in completely blind, I was delighted to find that the story was about something I am truly fascinated with: spirals. 

The characters did have a good reason to worry about their surroundings and environment: something or someone was going after them. There might be a few people going after me, but they aren’t as spooky as Freddy Kreuger or a cult in an isolated village. I was worrying about turning in my homework on time.

In this roundup of thanksgiving horror stories, Halloween’s spookiness and December’s cheer collide to give you memories that you can hopefully laugh at after time removes all the cringe. 

Freddy originated as an indubitably evil character, and yet there is something distinctly human about Englund’s portrayal of him.
