It's January, so we're pulling out the horror crystal ball and looking ahead at what 2026 has in store. Friend of the Pod Gigi Leal (RoomforScream) joins us to go through a stacked list of upcoming horror movies and just… scream at each other like horror fans do.We get into things we're excited about, things we're nervous about, and things we're already overthinking way too much—covering titles like Evil Dead Burn from Sébastien Vaniček, Robert Eggers' Werwulf, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple directed by Nia DaCosta, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, and more. No spoilers, no release date breakdowns, just gut reactions, hopes, fears, and a lot of speculation about what might actually hit.What feels promising? What could completely fall apart? And which movies are we already emotionally attached to despite knowing better?If you like looking ahead at upcoming horror, guessing wildly, and getting cautiously excited about movies we haven't seen yet, this one's for you sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!

Blake Lovell kehrt mit seiner Frau Charlotte und Tochter Ginger in seine abgelegene Heimat in Oregon zurück, nachdem er die Sterbeurkunde seines lange vermissten Vaters erhalten hat. Schon kurz nach ihrer Ankunft wird die Familie von einer monströsen Kreatur angegriffen. Nachdem Blake verletzt wird, entwickelt er zunehmend übernatürliche Sinne und beginnt sich unkontrolliert zu verändern. Während die Bedrohung durch die Kreatur eskaliert, muss Charlotte entscheiden, ob die größere Gefahr draußen lauert – oder bereits mit ihnen im Haus ist.

We're starting 2026 the Mostly Horror way!! Talking horror with friends and arguing about what scared us the most.For our first episode of the new year, we're joined once again by Mike Scollins, writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers and a longtime friend of the show. Mike's been on with us plenty of times before, from general horror hangouts, to breaking down Scream 6, to helping us celebrate past Spook'em Scare'em Awards, and now he's back to do it again.This isn't a traditional awards show. There's no voting, no winners, and no attempt at consensus. It's just us looking back at the horror movies of 2025 and calling out what really stuck with us. The best deaths, the scariest moments, the most memorable monsters, standout international horror, and more. We don't always agree, and that's kind of the point.If you're catching up on what horror delivered in 2025, or you just want to hear three people who love the genre dig into what worked and what didn't, then this one's for you.So HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Make some of your resolutions to tell a friend about the show, watch more horror, and…COME HANG OUT!!!

Die große Jahresvorschau 2026 – Von Zombies, Weltraumabenteuern und einem Cliffhanger-Reboot Frohes neues Jahr! Timo und Zeljko melden sich aus der Zukunft – oder der Vergangenheit? Egal, sie sind da und starten direkt mit einem Paukenschlag: Der Podcast zieht um! Ab der nächsten Folge gibt's Once Upon A Time In Cinema immer sonntags. Warum? Mehr Zeit für aktuelle Kino- und Streaming-Starts, um euch noch frischer mit Infos zu versorgen. Aber bevor es soweit ist, werfen die beiden einen Blick auf das, was das Filmjahr 2026 zu bieten hat. Zeljko ist schon ganz heiß auf den Januar und 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, den zweiten Teil der neuen Zombie-Trilogie. Ein weiteres Highlight auf seiner Liste ist Street Fighter, der mit Jason Momoa und 50 Cent aufwartet – auch wenn Timo sich hier mehr Härte gewünscht hätte. Auch auf Mortal Kombat 2 freut er sich riesig. Timo hat eine ganze Liste mit über 40 Filmen vorbereitet! Er startet mit dem iranischen Crime-Drama It Was Just an Accident und freut sich auf Hamnet von Chloé Zhao. Ein besonderes Highlight für ihn ist Project Hail Mary, die Verfilmung des Andy Weir-Romans mit Ryan Gosling und Sandra Hüller. Auch auf den neuen Narnia-Film von Greta Gerwig ist er gespannt, ebenso wie auf The Drama mit Robert Pattinson und Zendaya. Horrorfans dürfen sich auf The Bride (Maggie Gyllenhaals Frankenstein-Film), They Follow (das Sequel zu It Follows) und den neuen Robert Eggers Film The Werwulf freuen. Aber auch Skurriles wie Animal Friends mit Ryan Reynolds und Aubrey Plaza oder Ti Wests Horror-Version von A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer, stehen auf dem Plan. Gemeinsam diskutieren sie über das kommende Cliffhanger-Reboot mit Pierce Brosnan und Franz Rogowski, das Zeljko überraschend positiv stimmt. Auch der dritte Teil von Dune steht im Raum, bei dem Zeljko noch unsicher ist, ob er ihn im Kino sehen wird, während Timo sich auf The Adventures of Cliff Booth, das Once Upon a Time in Hollywood-Prequel von David Fincher, freut. Neben den großen Blockbustern werfen sie auch einen Blick auf kleinere Perlen wie The Shrinking Man oder den Horrorfilm Backrooms von A24. Und natürlich darf auch ein kleiner Exkurs zu Silvester-Traditionen (Dinner for One und eine mögliche Prequel-Serie zu Miss Sophie!) nicht fehlen. Eine vollgepackte Vorschau auf ein spannendes Kinojahr, mit vielen persönlichen Tipps, kontroversen Meinungen und der gewohnten Portion Leidenschaft. Also, nicht wundern: Die nächste Folge kommt am Sonntag! Bis dahin: Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – diesmal noch am Donnerstag! ____ Der Film-Podcast mit Zeljko und Timo Anfragen: ouatic@gmx.de https://letterboxd.com/OuaticPodcast https://instagram.com/onceuponatimeincinema_
Nachdem Marcus in den bisherigen Folgen stets Gäste hatte, zu denen er eine Verbindung durch Metal hatte, treffen wir diesmal auf eine alte Bekannte: Anja wollte schon immer mal über das Thema "Coming Of Age" sprechen. Im Ursprung war angedacht, dies als "Offtopic-Special" im Rahmen von Marcus' eigenem Podcast zu machen, doch mit der neuen Situation haben sich andere Möglichkeiten ergeben. Anja und Marcus haben jeweils zwei Filme und eine Serie im Gepäck, die sich mit dem Thema beschäftigen. Zuvor gilt es jedoch zu klären: Was versteht man überhaupt unter COA? Handelt es sich hierbei um ein "echtes" Film-Genre oder doch eher um einen Überbegriff? Seid also gespannt, was die beiden mitbringen und wieso sie der Auffassung sind, dass es sich hierbei um Vertreter handelt, die man zum COA zählen kann. Nach spaßigem Beginn entwickelt sich die Unterhaltung nicht selten auch in eine nachdenkliche Richtung, schließlich wissen wir alle, dass Erwachsenwerden nicht immer nur mit Spaß sondern oft auch mit Enttäuschungen und Herausforderungen verbunden ist.

One of the most divisive horror films of 2025 is here — and it's doing something very different with the vampire genre.In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives into Sinners, a stylish, ambitious period-piece horror film that audiences seem to either absolutely love… or completely reject. Set during the Prohibition era in the Deep South, Sinners blends historical drama, social commentary, and supernatural horror into a bold, uncompromising experience.We'll cover:• What makes Sinners such a unique take on vampire mythology• The stunning period setting and cinematography• Michael B. Jordan's impressive dual performance as twin brothers• How music and atmosphere are woven into the supernatural elements• Why this film has struck such a strong — and polarized — chord with viewersThis is high-brow horror done with intention, depth, and gravitas. There are no cheap scares here — just thoughtful storytelling, powerful themes, and moments of full-throttle horror when the switch finally flips.Whether you're a vampire movie fan, a lover of period pieces, or just curious about one of the most talked-about genre films of the year, this review will help you decide if Sinners is worth your time.

Nach dem plötzlichen Tod ihres Vaters müssen die Halbgeschwister Andy und Piper bei der Sozialarbeiterin Laura unterkommen, bis Andy volljährig wird und die Vormundschaft übernehmen kann. Laura zeigt ein unheimlich starkes Interesse an Piper, da ihre eigene blinde Tochter einst tragisch ertrank, während sie Andy mit Misstrauen und Grausamkeit behandelt. Im Haus lebt außerdem der stumme Junge Oliver, dessen Verhalten zunehmend verstörend wirkt und offenbar in geheimnisvolle Rituale verstrickt ist. Während Andy verzweifelt versucht, seine Schwester zu schützen, gerät er immer tiefer in Lauras manipulative Intrigen und psychologische Gewalt.

Weiter geht es mit den "Bestseller-Verfilmungen". Hierbei handelt es sich laut Uwe Boll um Filme, die auf Spielen basieren. The Rock und Milla Jovovich waren Thema im ersten Teil dieser Spezialfolge vor zwei Wochen. Im zweiten Teil widmet sich Gilbert einem seiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme: "Silent Hill". Erneut zeigt er, dass er sich tief in das Thema eingearbeitet hat und seine Liebe zum Film hört man ihm eindeutig an. Dennoch bleibt die Frage: Gute Spieleverfilmung, oder sogar ein guter Film? Wie schon angekündigt, hat man natürlich auch noch ein paar "honorable" und "unhonorable mentions" (sofern es letzteres überhaupt gibt) parat und auch an Uwe Boll kommt man bei diesem Thema natürlich nicht vorbei. Also: Game-Controller und Fernbedienung bereithalten und abtauchen in diese 60-minütige Spezialfolge. Besuche www.horrortalk.de und erfahre, wie du dabei sein kannst.

Der sadistische Killer "Art the Clown" kehrt zurück von den Toten und terrorisiert erneut die Kleinstadt Miles County. Im Mittelpunkt steht die junge Sienna, die ein von ihrem verstorbenen Vater entworfenes Fantasy-Kostüm trägt und dadurch eine besondere Verbindung zum Kampf gegen Art entwickelt. Während der Halloween-Nacht verbreitet der Clown ein Massaker voller grotesker und extrem brutaler Szenen. Sienna muss sich schließlich ihrem schlimmsten Albtraum stellen und kämpft gegen Art in einem surrealen, fast mythischen Showdown. Fast drei Jahre nachdem ich mit ihr über den ersten Teil gesprochen habe, freue ich mich, die Reihe endlich mit der lieben Laura fortsetzen zu können und wir wünschen Euch viel Spaß und gute Unterhaltung!

Laut Uwe Boll sind sie "die neuen Bestsellerverfilmungen": Gemeint sind Filme, die auf Spiele basieren gerade im Horrorbereich gibt es erstaunlich viele Vertreter in diesem Bereich. Im neuen Spezial hat Marcus erstmals Gilbert zu Gast. Gilbert ist Gitarrist bei der Symphonic-Metal-Band "Elvellon" und auch als Produzent und FOH-Techniker tätig. Für das Thema hat Gilbert sich verdammt gut vorbereitet und neben Zahlen, Daten und Fakten zu den jeweiligen Spielen und deren Verfilmungen auch direkt noch die wichtigsten Unterschiede herausgearbeitet. Geplant war es, über drei Filme im Detail zu sprechen und eine Spezialfolge zu veröffentlichen. Doch schon im Gespräch merkte man schnell, dass die drei Filme (und zusätzliche honorable mentions) den Rahmen sprengen würden und daher wurde die Folge aufgeteilt.

As most of us are preparing for the most wonderful time of the year (the Jack-o'-lantern one…not the Bells and Holly one), Spill Your Guts is taking this episode to the day of romance and cupid and dead flowers wrapped up nicely. And there is no horror film more associated with Valentine's Day than “My Bloody Valentine”. This 1981 classic has become seminal title in the pantheon of horror and did for Valentine's Day what John Carpenter's enduring masterpiece “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” did for the respective dates. My Bloody Valentine has endured the test of time and become regular viewing every Valentine's Day for horror fans. It's also Quentin Tarantino's favorite slasher film. High praise…and well deserved. However, the film faced more than its share of challenges in both production and release and was considered a flop (if it was considered at all). There's a long and compelling story to how “My Bloody Valentine” became the classic it is today with action figures, comics, a novel adaptation and even a board game. Joining me to delve into the film as well as his career as a real journeyman filmmaker is My Bloody Valentine's masterful director, George Mihalka. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Things didn't go quite as planned this week on Mostly Horror, but sometimes that makes for the most interesting conversations. With our guest lineup shifting last minute, we start by unpacking the shocking news of Charlie Kirk's assassination, reflecting on his controversial career, the polarizing reactions online, and the bigger cultural questions moments like this stir up. From there, we rewind to one of our earliest interviews with Goosebumps illustrator Tim Jacobus, a creative influence who shaped our love of horror from the start. It's an unusual mix of current events and horror nostalgia, but it all comes together as a reminder of why we explore the dark, the strange, and the unforgettable in every episode.

Welcome back to Spill Your Guts! I'm your host, Kevin Lane. We took some time over the summer to recalibrate and get ahead of creating a hell of a lineup for all our listeners. We've been doing Spill Your Guts for over 80 episodes now, and I can safely say that this is going to be some of our best. We are also doing a literary series with the biggest authors in horror fiction. It's a very exciting time for horror readers, as there are so many brilliant and diverse authors out there, creating stories that are reshaping the genre and what we've come to expect.This episode features one such author. Christopher Golden is a New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner, and he's become a household name in horror fiction with masterfully written novels such as "Snowblind", "Ararat", "Road of Bones", "All Hallows", and "The Nightbirds", to name a few.His work moves like a runaway train of terror and atmosphere that has caused me to read most of them in one sitting. There are few authors working that can compete with Christopher in creating the pace and atmosphere that he does. We also discuss his new anthology book, which he co-edited with Brian Keene, based in the world of Stephen King's iconic "The Stand", of which King himself gave the book his blessing. It's a must-have book for King fans, and really anyone who loves horror. It features stories from a long list of the greatest writers working in the genre today. The book is called "The End of the World as we know it", and is available now. So let's explore the worlds of frosty ghosts, spectral savage wolves, the true darkness of Halloween, and the scariest witches I have ever encountered in the history of horror.

Daniel Gonzalez wanted fame — but not on stage or screen. Obsessed with horror films like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Gonzalez spiralled into drug abuse, mental illness, and violent fantasies that turned him into one of Britain's most notorious killers. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell explore the troubled childhood, psychiatric struggles, and chilling crimes of the so-called 'Freddy Krueger Killer'.We examine how failures in the mental health system allowed his descent into violence — and what his case reveals about obsession, untreated psychosis, and the making of a murderer.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram: bloodties_podEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcast247Support: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcast Hosted on Acast.

Joshua Lastine is an entertainment attorney and the founder of Lastine Entertainment Law, representing actors, directors, writers, producers and more. A former in-house lawyer at Lionsgate and ViacomCBS, he has worked on high-profile projects such as Halloween (2018) and The Blackening, as well as massive Netflix productions, indie films, and everything in between.Recognized by Variety as a Hollywood Deal Maker, Joshua also serves as an adjunct lecturer in Entertainment Business Law at The Los Angeles Film School.A lifelong horror fan with a collection of VHS, DVDs, and Blu-rays, Josh brings deep genre knowledge to his legal practice, helping creators navigate contract pitfalls, IP disputes, distribution hurdles, and budget constraints. Since founding Lastine Entertainment Law in 2021, he has been dedicated to empowering artists and safeguarding their creative rights while bridging the worlds of horror fandom and Hollywood deal-making.In this conversation, Josh breaks down the legal and contractual realities that every filmmaker needs to understand, from optioning IP and attaching talent to navigating distribution deals and protecting your rights. He also shares practical advice on unions, strikes, and why legal literacy is one of the most empowering tools a creative can have.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here, without further ado, is Joshua Lastine.Key TakeawaysBuild your legal relationship early.Joshua's first counsel is simple. Do not wait for a contract to land in your inbox. Grab coffee with an entertainment lawyer, establish rapport, and get them looped in before deals apply pressure. He even outlines a smart starter plan for indies: raise an initial 25K for a line producer, budget, legal, and accounting, so chain of title and financing agreements are set before momentum stalls.Know your money lanes.He breaks down the big buckets: equity, debt, tax credits, and crowdfunding. Debt requires careful counsel. Equity means real finance docs and a clean LLC structure. Crowdfunding can be powerful when paired with creative perks, like the Eli Roth “we will kill you on screen” idea that trades access for cash.Investors buy more than ROI.For many backers, the value is experience and access: a set visit, a cameo for a family member, festival credentials. Pitch decks and sizzles matter, but so do relationships, attachments, and a clear sense of your project's look and tone in seconds. Package visually and socially, not just financially.Product placement is real money.Joshua points to Smile weaving Voss Water into its story as a character beat, likely putting real cash onto the screen. He and Nick also cite Weapons using Liquid Death cans in a 7-Eleven fight scene. The takeaway: brands can offset costs or boost perceived scale if you integrate them thoughtfully and on-brand.Keep chain of title airtight.Lawyers can't help if ownership is murky. Joshua stresses that rights must flow cleanly from screenplay to delivery, or distributors and E&O carriers will balk. This is the “heavy lifting” that protects your sale, your investors, and your future library value.Use AI and templates with judgment.For tiny, low-risk projects, basic templates or AI can help you start. The moment budgets rise, name talent appears, or you touch debt and distribution, you need a lawyer shepherding the paperwork and negotiating terms. That is the difference between scrappy and exposed.Understand franchise rights before you touch legacy IP.He...
