So much better than we expected! Natalie Grace in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026) ★★★★ The first half of 2026 certainly made a statement in the horror genre. Reverberations will be felt across Hollywood as studios reassess what constitutes a blockbuster. The recent critical success of Sinners, Weapons, and The Substance appears to be bearing fruit. The results may have led to a diverse slate of offerings for 2026, and it is reflected in the wide array of horror offerings so far this year. If variety is your preference, then you have been in luck, so far. The unimaginable financial and critical success of Obsession and Backrooms, particularly given their low cost, have re-written the horror producer’s playbook, and will have a lasting impact for years to come. The Scariest Things evaluated what we’ve seen so far, and have come back with a report card of our favorites. The Mid Major – Large Indie Productions: It will be interesting to do an autopsy of 2026’s horror fare when we do our year end assessment. This year’s crop has been notably light on mid-major productions so far. The roaring successes we’ve seen thus far have been from the deep indie filmmakers. Backrooms, Undertone, Hokum, and Obsession. All original titles, and produced for less than $5 million. These are not the type of films you would typically predict would be box office hits. But, they outperformed any reasonable expectation, particularly startling for Backrooms and Obsession, which will have cinema economists trying to figure out the alchemy. The Major Studios: There were only a few major studio franchise sequels this year. All of them capable, but none of them superseding their source material. Scream 7 did very well at the box office, but it failed to make a big impression. Evil Dead Burn was a very violent, very intense outing that didn’t connect in the way its predecessors have. Scary Movie also did well on its $30 million budget, earning $210 million, its long layoff didn’t hurt its popularity, despite the derivative humor. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was a hit with critics (including our own Liz Williams) but it’s turn from zombies may have hurt it in the box office, as it probably will not make its budget back. The notable big comeback was Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which gives horror fans hope that Universal has gotten their monsterverse back on track, and remembered how to deliver a vicious movie with a good story. The Festival Circuit: Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get out to as many film festivals this year as we would have liked, but we still managed to review a lot of great small indie horror films. Our traditional rotation of SXSW, Overlook, Portland Horror, and Popcorn Frights all provided very interesting films from emerging filmmakers. Even the bigger festival this year were heavy on small indie productions, and there were a lot of good offerings. We didn’t discuss all of them in our Podcast, but you can review a lot of the movies we saw with links on the images below. There is an emerging trend of release schedules for many of the best independent horror films, relative to the festival circuit. Open at SXSW (Or sometimes Sundance), get some buzz, go to Overlook to validate the buzz, and then release in the early summer. It can be a big momentum builder. Last year it was The Ugly Stepsister (Oscar Nom), and Good Boy that were the big beneficiaries of that combination. This year it was Obsession, Hokum, and Leviticus. Sometimes Panic Fest will factor into the equation, depending on when runs relative to Overlook. Popcorn Frights still brought a massive catalogue for viewing, but this year was more reliant on reperatory films. Some of my favorite films this year were horror adjacent, and all of their streaming content was small indie productions. Our favorite local festival, The Portland Horror Film Festival had an unusually large amount of feature films, and the best part was that almost all of the directors participated in the festival. We were fortunate to get interviews with all of them. Check out our Podcasts for the interviews. It was a diverse group of films, and not a dud among them. What is Still Coming in 2026? Probably the most intriguing film still due out is a new take on Resident Evil by Zach Cregger, the director of Barbarian and Weapons. This is a major tonal shift for Sony. No more Mia Jovovic or Paul W.S. Anderson. Video game translations are usually dubious, and the franchise squandered its potential. It became more superhero and less horror. However, Sony is gambling that with the right creator, it might revitalize the legacy, and Cregger may inject real scares into this franchise for the first time since the original. We shall see. The trailer looks great. Other Mommy, which arrives on October 9, has some incredibly disturbing visuals. Jessica Chastain stars, and Rob Savage (Host) directs. This uncanny-valley movie came late to my radar and is intriguing. Later this August, the Insidious franchise is issuing Insidious: Out of the Further. Lin Shaye returns, Leigh Whannell writes this, and it has a banger trailer. This franchise has maintained some of the scariest PG-13 fare, but the sequels have been a gradual decline in quality. We’ll see how this goes. Beware Boiúna might give us the Anaconda movie we wish we got earlier this year, and wipe the slate clean from the Jack Black/Paul Rudd disappointment. It’s R-rated, and features reliable scream queen Jessica Rothe, along with Logan Marshall-Green and Kiana Madeira in the Amazon. The trailer impressed me with the snake’s monstrousness. Another fascinating man-vs-nature survival tale is Whalefall, a terrifying concept in which a scuba diver is in jeopardy of being consumed by a sperm whale if the giant squid the whale has snagged doesn’t kill him first. Clayface will attempt to bridge the superhero and horror genres, which is no easy feat. Will it have enough horror for horror fans, and will it have enough fealty to the Batman universe to appeal to the comic book fans? Mike Flanagan wrote it, and it promises real R-rated body horror, so it could be very interesting. Lastly, Robert Eggers’ period piece Werwulf is getting the full Eggers treatment, in monochrome and as moody as you could possibly want. Hopefully it will get the stink of the Wolf Man out of our popcorn. Just give me a great transformation scene, please. Keep an eye out for It Ends, a festival darling from 2025 which is finally getting a limited release this year. It is a brilliant, if melancholy purgatory metaphor. If you enjoyed Backrooms, you should check this film out if you are lucky enough to have it showing in a theater near you. Of course, some smaller films will come out of the shadows and inevitably make our end-of-the-top-10 lists, but this is what we know so far.

We return from our break with tales of GCLS and family trips, before diving into our deep backlog and emerging with fresh recommendations to get you through the end of summer. Official Recommendations From Kris: Crash Into You by E. J. Noyes Kris's official recommendation this week is Crash Into You by E. J. Noyes. This powerful book is about a twin overcoming the loss of her sister and her struggle to rebuild her life in the aftermath of that loss. Kris was absolutely wowed by this one, considering it less of a romance and more of a deep character study with romantic elements. It's a heavy book, so check the tags and trigger warnings before you dive in. If and when you do? Kris is confident that you'll find something powerful to get lost in. From Tara: Never Date a Celebrity by Claire Forsythe Tara's official recommendation this week is Never Date a Celebrity by Claire Forsythe. Imogen is brutally dumped by her influencer girlfriend online, causing her to withdraw from social media and get talked into taking over a pub in a small Irish town with her two closest friends. Celebrities are everywhere these days, though, and an increasingly famous actor can't help but be charmed by the way Imogen has no idea who she is. Tara loves the chemistry in this book and the smalltown setting.

Ed Hinman is an author who says that he likes to explore open fields where violent things happened a thousand years ago. He's a graduate of the US Naval Academy, and he served eight years in the Marine Corps including a deployment in Afghanistan. He earned a master's degree in history, and he's spent his post-military career as a bodyguard at a security firm. He's now about to publish his first book, called "The Barbarian in You". If I have this right, it's about listening to the ancient, primal, authentic you, as it nudges you towards the Vigor, Wonder, and Fellowship of your goal. His writing has appeared in Task & Purpose, Business Insider, and The Washington Post. My featured song is “Cannonball”, from the album Prisoners Of Love.

Episode 459: The Crew's praying to Crom while watching John Milius' Conan the Barbarian. This bloody sword and sandal flick introduced the world to Arnold Schwarzenegger (as a movie star anyway, he was already famous as a bodybuilder). More than 40 years later it's still entertaining, and perhaps the best of the 80's sword and sandals movies.

Bryce sits down with Ed Hinman — Naval Academy grad, former Marine Corps infantry officer, and 17-year veteran of the private security industry — to talk about his new book, "The Barbarian in You: Live with Vigor, Wonder, and Fellowship." Ed walks through the three pillars of the book: vigor (the discipline of living aggressively and doing hard things), wonder (staying open to awe and enchantment in everyday life), and fellowship (the brotherhood men need but so often let slide as adult responsibilities pile up). Along the way, he and Bryce swap stories on growing up around military families, discovering a love of reading later in life, raising kids to find their own strengths instead of living out a parent's unfinished business, and why Ed started a men's book-and-fire-pit group that's now been running for a decade. It's a wide-ranging, personal conversation about what it actually takes for men to flourish — physically, mentally, and in relationship with other men.

With Dan away traveling for the next two weeks, Paul is going solo… so what better time to play one of his favorite solo fantasy games ever? It's Barbarian Prince! Barbarian Prince is a sprawling fantasy hexcrawl game published by Dwarfstar Games in 1981 and designed by Arnold Hendrick. This game has been a personal favorite of Paul's for decades. It directly inspired his mobile game Road of Kings and continues to influence his current AI-powered RPG project, Hexcrawl. If you've ever wondered where his fascination with sandbox adventures, procedural encounters, and open-world fantasy comes from, this is the game that started it all. Longtime viewers may also recognize some similarities to Dan's classic Outdoor Spoliation D&D adventure, which adapts the original Outdoor Survival board game into a tabletop hexcrawl. While the approach is different, both capture the spirit of exploring an unpredictable wilderness one hex at a time. Join Paul live as he explores the wilderness! He'll be keeping an eye on chat throughout the adventure, taking your suggestions, answering questions about Barbarian Prince, solo gaming, and hexcrawl design, and talking about the ways this classic game has influenced his own projects over the years. Check out Paul's earlier video, "Can I Play Dungeons & Dragons Alone?" Watch Dan and Paul play Solo D&D

Heading to the home of tango with Telecom Argentine (TEO) The company recently merged the country's north–south telecom networks, creating a near‑national monopoly. Cameron highlights the dramatic macro backdrop: inflation falling from over 200%, currency movements driving large accounting gains, and regulatory conditions requiring TEO to divest millions of customers. We also consider the colourful political environment under President Javier Millei and his mastiff Conan the Barbarian, both of whose policies have reshaped the economy in unpredictable ways.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/teo-igl
Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Ed Hinman, Marine infantry officer veteran, public figure protection specialist, historian, and author of The Barbarian in You. Ed shares how his time at the Naval Academy, deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa, and a pivotal reckoning with ego and identity led him to build a life around three core principles: vigor, wonder, and fellowship. Drawing on history, philosophy, and hard experience, Ed makes the case that living a full life is not about optimization — it's about reconnecting with the most primal, truest parts of yourself. The conversation weaves through the creative life, the craft of writing, the mentorship of Steven Pressfield, the wisdom of Montaigne, Emerson, and Marcus Aurelius, and the courage it takes to follow what resonates rather than what looks good on paper. Episode Highlights: 1:54 - Ed and Marcus discuss the mentorship of Steven Pressfield and the discipline required to show up for the creative life 29:44 - Ed introduces his three-part philosophy of vigor, wonder, and fellowship as a framework rooted in how pre-civilized humans actually lived 49:23 - Ed recounts his Marine Corps career, the ego-driven disappointment of deployments that went nowhere, and how psychosomatic pain forced him to ask what he actually wanted 58:58 - Ed and Marcus explore the idea of listening to intuition over empirical evidence, following resonance rather than a prescribed path, and why the barbarian in you is the truest version of yourself Ed Hinman served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, graduating from the Naval Academy and deploying five times across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa before earning a master's degree in history and building a career in public figure protection with Gavin de Becker's firm. He is the author of The Barbarian in You and the founder of the Barbarian in You blog, where he writes about history, strength, friendship, and the philosophy of living with vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

In this episode, host John Gallagher sits down with Ed Hinman—Naval Academy grad, former Division I football player, Marine Corps veteran, author, and coach. Ed shares why so many accomplished leaders still feel hollow inside and introduces a practical framework from his book, The Barbarian in You, to help rebuild health, leadership, and meaning through three core pillars: Vigor, Wonder, and Fellowship. Key Takeaways & Discussion HighlightsTaking Ownership Under Pressure: Ed reflects on his late teens at the Naval Academy Prep School, where academic failure forced him to stop drifting and take total agency over his life.The “Barbarian” Within: Why returning to “nature's rules” is essential for modern humans—and how sedentary routines, screens, and isolation quietly drain our vigor, wonder, and fellowship.Pain as a Catalyst for Clarity: How personal struggle unlocks self-awareness and leads to the life-changing question: “What do I really want?”Escaping “Joy Envy” and the “Should Heads”: Overcoming the pressure of other people's expectations and learning to lead from your own values rather than outside obligations.Vigor & Community in Action: Using unexpected examples of relentless energy (like David Lee Roth) and looking at Ed's “Point View Crew” fire pit gatherings as a blueprint for men to rebuild intentional community.Leading from the Overflow: A practical reminder for leaders to fill their own cup first so they can serve others from the overflow rather than running on empty.

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey cover the latest Universal Orlando Resort news before digging into a surprisingly rich piece of Universal Studios Hollywood history: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe briefly taking over the upper lot during the 1985 holiday season. They start with Fourth of July offerings at Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, CityWalk, and Bar 17 Bistro, then look at Illumination's box-office track record, Epic Universe guest surveys, and how Universal is comparing itself against Disney. The featured story traces He-Man's Conan-inspired roots, Mattel's toy-driven rise, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade connection, and why Masters of the Universe has never quite found a permanent theme park home. NEWS • Universal Orlando's Fourth of July plans included patriotic stilt walkers, fireworks at Epic Universe, lagoon entertainment at Universal Studios Florida, and family-friendly festivities at CityWalk. • Jim highlights Bar 17 Bistro at Aventura Hotel as one of the best rooftop spots for seeing fireworks across Central Florida. • Minions and Monsters opens the discussion of Illumination's reliable box-office machine and the studio's next wave of films, including Sing 3, The Secret Life of Pets 3, and Not Alone. • Eric shares new Epic Universe survey questions about park hours, nighttime entertainment, guest satisfaction, and whether visitors leave for other Orlando-area options. • Jim and Eric discuss why How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk has become a new themed entertainment benchmark, and how Disney's upcoming Villains Land may be compared against it. FEATURE • The feature begins with old photos of He-Man, Skeletor, Orko, She-Ra, and other Masters of the Universe characters appearing at Universal Studios Hollywood. • Jim and Eric trace the sword-and-sorcery path from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories to Universal's Conan the Barbarian films and the long-running Adventures of Conan stage show. • Eric explains how Mattel's abandoned Conan toy plans helped lead to He-Man, Castle Grayskull, and the Masters of the Universe toy line. • The episode revisits the Filmation cartoon, the toy-and-TV boom of the 1980s, and the way He-Man became a playground staple for a generation. • Jim and Eric connect the 1985 Universal Studios Hollywood He-Man meet-and-greet to the Masters of the Universe Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float. • The conversation looks back at Gary Goddard's 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, and why it struggled despite the franchise's popularity. • Eric explains why He-Man is unlikely to become a major Universal attraction, even as Masters of the Universe merchandise appears in Universal parks. • The discussion closes with Mattel Adventure Park's proposed He-Man vs. Skeletor laser tag experience and what a future Castle Grayskull attraction might look like.

Liam Neeson has spent the last decade dancing between genres like a seasoned circus performer, trading his gravitas‑laden dramatic roots for the gleeful chaos of action mayhem. One moment he's growling threats into a flip phone, the next he's wrestling wolves or popping up in a spoof like The Naked Gun. By 2026, he's added yet another feather to his already overstuffed cap: horror‑comedy. In Cold Storage, Neeson strides into the fray as if he's been waiting his whole life to battle a government‑bred fungus with a bad attitude.According to the tale spun on IMDb, a top‑secret lab misplaces a highly dangerous fungus—because of course it does—and suddenly a retired bioterrorism agent is yanked back into service. He teams up with two plucky young employees of a storage facility to face an enemy that can't be seen, reasoned with, or politely asked to stay in its containment chamber. It's part zombie romp, part disaster spectacle, and entirely the sort of bureaucratic blunder that makes you wonder who keeps approving these fictional government budgets.Guided by director Jonny Campbell and penned by screenwriter‑producer David Koepp, the film pairs Neeson with Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame and Georgina Campbell from Barbarian, plus a delightful appearance by Vanessa Redgrave. Released in just over a thousand theaters—including IMAX, for those who prefer their fungal horrors larger than life—the movie crept into cinemas appropriately on Friday the Thirteenth, February 2026, for a limited run. Now your cohosts dive into this quirky creature feature to share their thoughts, their laughs, and perhaps their newfound fear of refrigerated storage units.

Dune Part Three just dropped its IMAX trailer, Naruto is finally getting a big-budget live-action movie, and Freddy Krueger is coming back in a full Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Frank and Squeaks break down a stacked week of trailers, teasers, and franchise news to figure out which of these actually have a shot. Along the way they react to the Shrek 5 trailer and its new animation style, size up the Crystal Lake teaser and its Pamela Voorhees focus, get hyped for the canon 1994 Ghostbusters animated series with Dan Aykroyd and Jack Quaid attached, and debate whether DC's Mr. Terrific series proves James Gunn is playing the long game after Supergirl. Plus a spoiler-friendly Dungeon Crawler Carl book club check-in and this week's recommendations, from Death Stranding 2 to the Predator Badlands comic mini-series. And the question of the week: if the X-Men ran the government, who gets the White House? Timestamps and Topics 0:00 Intro and Question of the Week: Which X-Men Should Run the Government? 5:18 Dune Part Three IMAX Trailer Reaction 12:36 Shrek 5 Trailer and the New Animation Style 16:16 Crystal Lake Teaser: The Friday the 13th Prequel Series 19:35 Naruto Live-Action Movie News and Casting 24:46 Nightmare on Elm Street Reboot at Paramount 28:49 Ghostbusters Animated Series Coming to Netflix 32:06 DC News: Mr. Terrific Series, Supergirl Thoughts, and Lobo's Future 41:49 Dungeon Crawler Carl Book Club Corner 50:04 Network Updates and Recommendations of the Week Key Takeaways The Dune Part Three trailer suggests the movie is expanding small moments from the book, like the worm heist, into major action set pieces, and it may be the biggest departure from the source material yet. Naruto's live-action movie has real momentum: director Destin Daniel Cretton is attached, creator Masashi Kishimoto has given his blessing, and a global casting search is underway for Team 7. The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot lands at Paramount with the Wes Craven estate involved and the team behind Barbarian and Weapons attached, and the premise holds up better in a modern setting than most 80s slashers. The new Ghostbusters animated series is set in 1994 New York, is canon, and has Dan Aykroyd producing, with Jack Quaid in the voice cast. DC greenlighting a Mr. Terrific series after Supergirl's soft box office signals James Gunn is prioritizing long-term world building over chasing safe bets. The Crystal Lake teaser centers Pamela Voorhees, played by Linda Cardellini, raising the question of whether a Friday the 13th story can work with Jason mostly offscreen. Quotes "You go to sleep, Freddy's in your mind. Nightmare on Elm Street is one of those stories that actually could work today just fine." "If I were a Naruto fan, these are all the stars lining up that I'd want to line up." "I think this is going to be the Clone Wars of Ghostbusters." "If you were to cut every part of Lobo out of this movie, you would not feel his absence in the slightest. That being said, Jason Momoa as Lobo nailed it." "Everything that's ever mentioned or anything that's put into his bag, you can assume will be used." Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

Obsession — who hasn't seen it at this point? Curry Barker's $750K horror film has made over $400 million, minted a star in Inde Navarrette, and started a fight about what to even call this genre. This week we dig into the BTS trivia, the scenes we can't stop thinking about, and the Indian censor board's missing 36 seconds. Then we get into nice guy horror itself: the worst Pokémon evolution you've ever heard, Bollywood's hypermasculine inverse, and the Indian remake of Obsession that lives in our heads.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Live service games are finicky and inconsistent, almost by definition. Unfortunately, this fourteenth season of Diablo IV is a major disappointment that feels consistently underbaked. In this episode, we're doing our full "State of the Game" check-in covering everything from fun factor to the reliquary system, discussing the Helltide-heavy and narrative-light seasonal campaign, revisiting the Barbarian and Spiritborn classes, and then spitballing some ways that Diablo 4 could improve its topsy turvy seasonal model.

Welcome artist Rob Hafferman to the Land of Scrolls! We talk the Robert E. Howard story, “Iron Shadows in the Moon.” This tale of Conan was adapted into comics three times, at three different comic book publishers. Our main focus is on The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian #4...
A lone Briton fleeing murderous outlaws stumbles into a hidden world beneath the forests of ancient Britain, where an older people still remember every stolen homeland and every dead king. One act of mercy may be the only thing standing between Cororuc and a vengeance that has burned in darkness for centuries. The Lost Race by Robert E. Howard. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Let's peel back the pages of time 99 and a half years as we travel back to ancient Britain with a story written years before Conan the Barbarian first appeared in print. Robert E. Howard's The Lost Race blends brutal adventure, hidden civilizations, and eerie folklore into one unforgettable journey beneath the forests of Cornwall. From the January 1927 Weird Tales magazine on page 74, The Lost Race by Robert E. Howard… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A strange malfunction in a revolutionary vending machine leaves two worlds trading useless objects while baffled scientists race to understand the impossible connection. As the exchanges grow more deliberate, one risky decision could turn a commercial gimmick into the first bridge between planets. The Cosmic Jackpot by George O. Smith.

Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Past Milla Vodello Issues covered: wait what is this?, inefficiencies in development, constant learning, a full brain, modifying your loadout, using abilities in the scavenger hunt, fitting everything in, multiple economies, the problems of a radial wheel, making a new genre from blending and having to rethink, a tradition of crunch, edge cases everywhere, making something realistic feel good, the multi-step process of sucking up a mental cobweb, iterating through multiple games, teaching you about the inventory, niche games that are bespoke, having troubles with certain aspects, level design, the cohesion of the level select screen, themes that games don't often address, iteration internally and externally, unrelated systems and synchronicity, the zaniness messing with you, the ranking system and optional things, a sum of parts, TV adaptations, adaptating to the world, having to amp up and bring in more stuff, expanding emotional beats, finding a side story, going the hero route.

Conan the Barbarian is a legitimately great movie. Its sequel, Conan the Destroyer, is often dismissed as the vastly inferior follow-up—and while Barbarian is indeed the stronger film, don't get it twisted. Destroyer is still a legitimate, bad-ass fantasy adventure that's more than worthy of the Conan name.The production design is fantastic, immersing you fully in Conan's savage world. Add in a fun D&D-style quest, an underrated but magnetic performance from Wilt Chamberlain as Bombaata, and the scene-stealing energy of Grace Jones as Zula, and you've got a thoroughly entertaining, kick-ass sword-and-sorcery flick. If you're a fan of fantasy—or especially if you're already a Conan fan—it's well worth watching.LinksSupport Our Work - https://lsgmedia.net/joinDiscord - https://discord.com/invite/8FmrT9DrvuAcknowledgementsFloyd Frye (Intro/Outro Voice): https://www.tiktok.com/@floydfrye George C Music (Music): https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeCMusicDisclaimer: This episode features impressions and parodies of celebrities and characters for entertainment purposes only.
