Whether you love or hate them, remakes have been around for a long time, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. An update on The Crow is set to arrive this summer, with Hollywood’s version of Speak No Evil not far behind, just as two upcoming examples.
While not all remakes can hold a candle to the original, there’s been no shortage of fantastic movies that reworked genre favorites in thrilling new ways. Some of which even managed to eclipse the original classics, like 1986’s The Fly or 1982’s The Thing.
This week’s streaming picks are dedicated to horror remakes that set themselves apart from the source material, either through expanded storytelling or heightened, visceral horror.
Here’s where you can stream them this week.

A spinoff of the film franchise, “Freddy’s Nightmares” was an anthology series starring the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. Airing from 1988 to 1990, each episode told a different story of a dark rooted and grim nature that takes place in this fictitious town on Elm Street, and now a brand new book will take us deeper into the series than ever before.
Death Cult Press has announced Welcome to Primetime from authors Geoff Turner, Henrique Couto and David Denover, up for pre-order now ahead of April 1, 2024 release.
“This collection features breakdowns of each episode in the series, interviews with the show’s creators and a selected history of the bizarre world of horror anthology television.”

“Freddy’s Nightmares” picked up with where the films left off, with Krueger terrorizing the citizens of his hometown and taking his revenge out through their dreams.

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit Showtime’s “Masters of Horror,” which was created by Mick Garris and aired for two seasons between 2005 and 2007.
It seemed like a horror fan’s wet dream: a horror anthology series with some of the greatest horror filmmakers of all time lensing short format horror films for premium cable. Although horror icons had teamed in the past to bring us series like “Tales from the Darkside” and “Tales from the Crypt,” there wasn’t a modern series that brought them all together to have a chance to tell their stories in the anthology format. “Masters of Horror” seemed like a prime opportunity to re-invent the waning anthology horror format, and while it didn’t quite re-invent the wheel as planned, it brought with it a lot of great content from some bonafide horror icons.

Back in the late 90’s, early 2000s the horror genre was in that weird phase of encapsulating what it truly wanted to be. Hot off the heels of Scream, horror movies focused much more on the teenage angst, and lifestyle. But there comes a time when some hidden gems make their way to the silver screen that branch off the beaten path with a more adult-themed tale, drenched in psychological/mental horror. What if one day you’re living your average life, working your 9-5, and suddenly black, out only to wake up, institutionalized and accused of committing a crime you can’t seem to remember doing?

In addition to FeardotCom, the 2002 effort from director William Malone (House on Haunted Hill) that stars Stephen Dorff (Blade), the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox has also revved up the streaming rights to Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, the 1990 sequel starring Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings) and Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead)!
In the film, “Two college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and onto a deserted Texas road. Here they are stalked by the menacing Leatherface and his demented family…a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their hands and a feast on their minds. The students’ only chance for escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast Leatherface and the rest of the grisly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish.”

William Malone, a Master of Horror behind such films as Creature, House on Haunted Hill, and Parasomnia, once took a stab at mixing early internet tech with horror in FeardotCom, which starred Stephen Dorff and was released in theaters by Warner Bros. Pictures in 2002.
The film has been making a bit of a resurgence and maybe even having a renaissance with horror fans newly appreciating the much-maligned techy horror film that followed Dorff as a New York City detective who investigates mysterious deaths occurring 48 hours after users log onto feardotcom.
Now, you can judge for yourself as FeardotCom is streaming exclusively on Screambox today, alongside Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, the 1990 sequel starring Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings) and Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead)!

A new episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at the Showtime horror anthology series Masters of Horror, which ran for two seasons and a total of 26 episodes, premiering in October of 2005 and wrapping up in February of 2007.

Exclusive: Allen Leech and India Mullen will lead the cast of an Irish drama series for AMC Networks’ Sundance Now and local broadcaster Virgin Media Television, we’ve learned.
The pair will topline six-part drama The Vanishing Triangle, which goes into production later this year with a U.S.-UK-Ireland production set-up, and Eccho Rights attached as international distributor. The show is inspired on true events that shook Ireland in the 1990s, when several women disappeared. While the characters and events in the series are fictional, the producers have spoken to several of the real life victims’ families, and hope the show will keep their stories in the Irish public’s mind. The show title is regularly used in the Irish media to refer to the events, which began with the disappearance of American woman Annie McCarrick in 1993 and spiraled to involve many similar cases.

Mick Garris isn't just a prolific horror filmmaker who's created multiple horror classics and worked with the very best in the industry. He's also a champion of the genre and other filmmakers, and it's what's made him a true master of horror! That's why I'm very excited for the August 13th release of the official biography of Mick Garris from Atb Publishing, appropriately titled "Master of Horror." Here are the release details and a look at the official cover art:
What makes a true Master of Horror?
If you’re a horror fan, you may know Mick Garris as the creator of the television series, Masters of Horror, and the anthology film, Nightmare Cinema, as well as the director of multiple television adaptations of Stephen King novels like The Stand and The Shining. But although you may know his work, you may not know much about the man that so...

So this month I’d wanted to showcase something featuring Angela Bassett, who isn’t strictly a horror icon, but has some great roles in the genre, most recently starring in several seasons of American Horror Story, including Coven, which many consider to be the best of the series. But then something happened. I watched her 2000 film Supernova, and I realized about ten minutes in that I was watching a movie so miraculously inept that I just had to take you all on a journey about how a movie that cost anywhere between $60–90 million to make wound up looking like a rejected pilot for the Sci Fi channel. And I can tell you with certainty that it’s not even a little bit Bassett’s fault, but one that I’m more than willing to put squarely on the shoulders of director Thomas Lee.
The premise is actually pretty promising,...

The 1999 remake of William Castle’s (1959) House on Haunted Hill by William Malone was a very strange film, and not one I’d seen in a long time, possibly since its video store days. Going back, its quite “Nineties,” down to its techniques, ensemble cast, plucked eyebrows, and wardrobe. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s interesting to see how some things have aged and how some haven’t. Star Geoffrey Rush channeled original House on Haunted Hill headliner and horror movie icon Vincent Price quite well. The funny thing is, I learned that he was originally going for a John Waters vibe with the skinny mustache, but...

For the second week of October, I hope horror fans have their wallets ready, because there are a multitude of Blu-rays and DVDs that would be perfect editions to your home entertainment collections, especially with All Hallows' Eve being just right around the corner. The fine folks at Scream Factory are truly doing the dark lord’s work this Tuesday, as they've put together some incredible Collector’s Edition Blu-rays for both House on Haunted Hill (1999) and Michael Dougherty’s Trick ’r Treat.
As far as recent releases go, Hotel Artemis and Skyscraper arrive on various formats this Tuesday, and while they both may not be straight-up genre films, each of these films flew under the radar upon their theatrical releases, and I found them both to be a lot of fun and very much worth a watch, so I felt like including them here.

As Halloween grows nearer and Scream Factory prepares to break out the big guns over the next few months in the form of titles like Trick ’r Treat, Creepshow, and Candyman, the company is still busy putting out smaller and less universally beloved titles to round out the library of every obsessive horror fan. Our latest Scream Factory roundup runs pretty much the whole gamut: we have a modern classic, an undiscovered gem, and a pretty forgettable dud. The world, as they say, is a rainbow.
Once upon a time, I would have called William Malone’s 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill one of the most underrated horror movies of the ’90s.

We’re in the home stretch of Masters of Horror Season One, and many of the genre’s biggest names have already been checked off the list: Carpenter, Landis, Hooper, Gordon, Dante, Coscarelli, Argento. That brings us to William Malone, probably the first Master who’s not already a household name among horror fans. And while his episode isn’t among the strongest of the first season, he does conjure up one of the series’ scariest images and embraces the surreal in a way the other installments have not. His is a worthy entry in the Masters of Horror run.

Supernova is a movie with a messy story behind it, not to mention one of the weirdest sex scenes in movie history.
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
Supernova is a film that started promisingly. Originated in 1990 under the title of Dead Star, the idea – as pitched by writer William Malone – would be for something akin to Dead Calm, just in space. Dead Calm is a great choice of influence too, with Phillip Noyce’s out-on-the-water thriller using isolation expertly, as Billy Zane puts in one of his best, and most menacing, screen performances.
Dead Star was set to follow a similar idea, and that meant a modest budget at most – around $6 million was cited – would be needed to tell the story of alien artifacts being brought back to Earth. Fun fact: H.R. Giger duly did some concept art work to help promote the script.

MGM was the studio that bit, although it had ideas.

“Hello, Boils and Ghouls” was a typical opening salvo from The Crypt Keeper, the wraparound host (and animatronic cadaver) of HBO’s inventive, creepy and more often than not, mordantly funny salute to the EC Comics of yesteryear, Tales from the Crypt (1989 – 1996). Throughout seven seasons, viewers were subjected to as much gore, nudity, and twisted morality as we could handle. God (or his underworld counterpart) bless premium cable.
Tales ran from June 10th, 1989 to July 19th, 1996, for a grand total of 93 episodes. That’s a lot of grue to ingest, and until ratings started to slip by Season Six, horror fans found it easy to lap up. And as with any anthology series, mileage varies and quality flickers to and fro – but Tales from the Crypt’s success is anchored in the very fact that it was allowed to live, and thrive, for as long as it did.

Founded in 1938, Don Post Studios created iconic masks for both Hollywood and the everyman and even invented the classic rubber masks that we all knew and loved as kids on Halloween. This is the company that produced the William Shatner/Captain Kirk mask that became Michael Myers’ impassive visage in the Halloween series. The studio was critical in the shaping of Monster Kids back in the ’60s and ’70s. Don Post himself was buddies with our own Uncle Forry — a match made in horror heaven. The studio has such a dedicated fan base that there was even a convention — Don-Con, of course — last year in Burbank.
When Dps closed in September 2012, Lee Lambert, a longtime fan, expected there to be some kind of tribute book. When it never materialized, he decided to take on the Herculean task himself. The Illustrated History Of Don Post Studios sold out immediately, surprising all involved,...

Irish short film "Love is a Sting" has a chance of Oscars® glory, after being selected as the Grand Prix Irish short film winner at the Awards Ceremony of the 60th Cork Film Festival, principally funded by the Arts Council.
Vincent Gallagher’s film will go forward to the Academy Awards® longlist to be considered next for the 89th Academy Awards in the Live Action Short Film category. The Cork Film Festival achieved the status of Academy Award® Qualifying Festival last year.
The film follows struggling writer Harold Finch, played by Séan T. Ó Meallaigh, who has an unexpected house guest in the form of Anabel – a hyper-intelligent mosquito who has literally been the fly on the wall throughout history. She is determined to communicate to Harold even if it kills her.
The €1,500 euro prize from RtÉ Cork was presented at the Triskel Christchurch by Bill Malone, Channel Controller of RtÉ2. The short will also be screened on RtÉ2 as part of the prize. RtÉ was the Festival’s new Principal Partner this year.
The 60th edition of the Cork Film Festival has drawn to a close after ten event-packed days which drew crowds from home and abroad.
Speaking at the Awards Ceremony, the Festival’s Creative Director James Mullighan said “'Love is a Sting' is an extraordinary film which we were proud to show at the Festival and we wish it every success on the long road to the Oscars®. This year’s Short Film program was unprecedented in both quality and quantity and we look forward to showcasing even more Irish talent at next year’s Festival.”
He continued: “There has been a fantastic response to the special program created to celebrate the 60th edition of the Festival. Audiences were up by more than 25%. We had a sell-out night at the Cork Opera House for the Irish premiere of Steve Jobs. We were delighted that some niche events also enjoyed sell-out success. The beautiful 'Hand Gestures' documentary at the National Sculpture Factory as well as 'Tangerine' - entirely shot on an i-phone – were two of the ten events that packed out their venues.
Demand for some of the sell-out films was so high that we arranged second screenings during the week. 'Tangerine' along with the wonderful documentaries 'Older Than Ireland' and 'My Love, Don’t Cross That River,' and the German feature 'Victoria,' each played twice to enthusiastic houses.”
A highlight of the week was the Rory Gallagher documentary 'What’s Going On: Taste Live at the Isle of Wight Festival,' which drew a huge house and a standing ovation at the Cork Opera House for the entertaining and moving Q&A session with Rory’s brother Dónal Gallagher and Hot Press founder Niall Stokes.
Other prize winners announced at the closing ceremony included "Listen." The Finland/Denmark-made short film was chosen as the winner of the Grand Prix International and was on the Oscars ®longlist this year. "Listen" takes place in a Copenhagen police station where a woman wearing a burqa is filing a complaint for domestic violence but her translator is unwilling to report her story.
The Irish Jury also selected Ciarán Dooley’s "The Great Wide Open" as the winner of the Cork Short Film award. The ten minute film warmed up the packed Closing Night Gala audience, who came in droves to watch Todd Haynes’s acclaimed drama "Carol."
The Us feature "Tangerine" won the €1,500 prize for best feature film; Gradam Spiorad na Féile / Spirit of the Festival Award. The jury this year was chaired by Irish filmmaker Gerard Stembridge.
Sean Baker’s feature is a twisted, high-energy Christmas tale, which casts an unflinching and comical eye on L.A’s sex industry and trans community.
UK / Ukranian documentary "The Russian Woodpecker" was selected as the winner of the inaugural Gradam na Féile do Scannáin Faisnéise / Award for Cinematic Documentary. Described as an original and terrifying look at the legacy of the Soviet Union, it was directed by Chad Gracia. This new award, which carries a €1,000 prize, was chosen by a jury chaired by Claire Aguilar, Sheffield DocFest’s Director of Programming and Industry Engagement.
The Festival also inaugurated two new music video awards this year. The Irish Music Video Award went to Bob Gallagher for Girl Band’s "Paul" whilst the International Music Video Award went to Eric Teidt for Simon Fagan’s "Lost to the Deep."
Jonas Carpignano’s acclaimed "Mediterranea" - a gripping and humanizing film about the refugee crisis - was chosen as the Cork nomination to the European Parliament’s Lux Film Prize.
Romanian feature film "Aferim!" – Radu Jude’s Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear winner - won the Youth Jury Award. Naomi Kawase’s drama "An" - about a 75 year old Japanese woman who starts work as an assistant in a pastry kiosk - was selected as the winner of the Audience Award, presented by the River Lee Hotel. "An" was screened as part of one of several new food-themed events, the sell-out Fab Food Trail.

Deep Impact Vs Armageddon is not the only time similar movies have landed around the same time...
Usually, a competing project is poison for a studio. Especially in the era now where a blockbuster costs the national budget of a small country to get out into the world, you don't want to be up against a film with similar subject matter.
Yet this keeps happening, time and time again. Even now, there are two live action Jungle Book movies in various stages of production, for example. And let us not forget when K-9 and Turner And Hooch once did battle...
But how have the movie showdowns of old turned out? And are there any instances where everyone's a winner?
Er, not many as it happens...

While we often lament some of the films that end up stuck in development Hell, never to become realized on the big screen, there are some films we should all be glad never came to fruition.
Sometimes they don’t get it! We all know that the film industry is a business and they want to make money, but Hollywood doesn’t always realize that the best way to do that is to make a good film. Sometimes, Hollywood’s habit of taking a known property and stretching them out to absurd proportions proves that they just don’t get the point. Fortunately, there are times when someone recognizes a bad idea and puts on the brakes. Below is a list of 14 films where someone was smart enough to notice that they were making a pile of trash and threw in the towel.

It has long been a known fact that Hollywood’s well of ideas has run dry. The box office success of countless retreads, remakes, reboots and updates (whatever you want to label them) only serves to condemn the movie-going public as accomplices in this crime of imagination. Yet for every rule there is an exception and, while some would be reluctant to admit it, Hollywood has indeed produced some remakes worthy of their original’s legacy. This list counts down the top five horror remakes that achieved the impossible: they did not suck…

A distress signal from deep space. A blue-collar crew of astronauts discover a derelict space craft. A star beast of unknown origin chases them through dark pipe-lined corridors until there's only a few (if one) left. After the blockbuster success of Ridley Scott's sci-fi tinged haunted house movie "Alien" busted some blocks in 1979, it was only a matter of time before the low-budget copycats followed suit.
Not only were many of these knockoff movies kinda cool, but they turned out to be a proving ground of ideas and talent for future entries in the "Alien" franchise, including "Aliens," "Alien 3" and "Prometheus" … for realsimo. The first "Alien" was in itself a shameless "homage" to classic B-movies "Planet of the Vampires" and "It! The Terror from Beyond Space," so it's only fair that flicks like this week's Vin Diesel monster mash "Riddick" should take a page or seven from its playbook.

The haunted house subgenre has been a horror mainstay for years, and it's alive and well to this day. The Conjuring cleaned up at the box office, proving that audiences are still just as interested in disturbing domiciles as ever. In haunted house films, the location is just as important, if not more so, than the human inhabitants, and as a general rule, the less inviting the house appears on screen, the greater the potential for malady... although as you'll see, that's not always the case. While we wholeheartedly enjoy a good horror film, we would be more than a little reluctant to settle down (or even spend one night) in any of the homes featured in our favorite haunted house flicks. Below, behold eight houses we would most certainly not want to live in... The Freeling's House in Poltergeist As a general rule, building a home atop an occupied...

Halloween is just a couple months away now, which means we're pretty damn close to the time when those Halloween superstores will once again be popping up in a town near you. That also means you'd better start thinking about who/what you're going to be this year, whether you're going out trick or treating (you're never too old) or kicking back at a friend's house and pounding pumpkin beer. Thankfully, Trick or Treat Studios is here to help! Created by Chris Zephro in 2009, Trick or Treat Studios rose to prominence last year with the release of their officially licensed Michael Myers mask, at long last a quality Myers mask that was made available for a fraction of the cost similar masks had for years been selling for from indepedent mask makers. Zephro and sculptor Justin Mabry's attention to detail paid off, and the Myers mask instantly became not only a fan favorite,...

House on Haunted Hill (1959) vs. House on Haunted Hill (1999)
Shared Plot: A wealthy weirdo offers five strangers a large sum of money if they'll spend the night in a notoriously haunted mansion. Near-deaths abound, but are they caused by the host's devious nature -- or something much more supernatural?!? (mwahaaaa)
Notable Differences: The original was a "gimmick" flick by the lovable William Castle (he actually ran skeletons on wires through the auditorium at the end of the flick!) and the remake was an early entry in the period now known as the "Let's Remake Ever Horror Film Ever Made" epoch. And while both films have amusingly bitchy dialogue and a few legitimate scares, neither are what you'd call a brilliant horror movie. It's just that one is a quaint and chaste little relic from the late '50s and the other is a loud and gory relic from the late '90s.

Silent Hill: Revelation
Written by Michael J. Bassett
Directed by Michael J. Bassett
USA/Canada
Shot in secret after idling in development hell, the long-awaited sequel to Cristophe Gans’ uniquely graceful survival horror video game adaptation Silent Hill seems to be squeaking out without much fanfare as if it knows it’s essentially sloppy seconds. Some may urge, however, that Revelation shouldn’t be so ashamed! Like a latter Nightmare on Elm Street installment (think Dream Child), Revelation is all about nightmarish imagery and seeing what it can get away with within and without its thin narrative – and for that it’s sure fun while it lasts.
Following a story as shoddily stitched as the startling surgical abominations littering its grimier scenes, this return sees Radha Mitchell’s Rose revealing she’s discovered a limited path back to our dimension. Daughter Sharon (played by Jodelle Ferland in 2006 and now...

On Friday, 9/21, we hit the 2012 Eyegore Awards held at Universal Studios Hollywood, CA, and brought back some ocular candy from the carpet and interviews with several of the night’s principals.
Paying respect to some of horror’s most venerated players and notable newcomers, the event was hosted by Syfy’s ‘FaceOff’ host McKenzie Westmore and attended by celebrity presenter and rock legend Alice Cooper, who together bestowed Eyegore Awards to recipients Chad Michael Murray (House of Wax and the upcoming The Haunting in Georgia), Angelica Vale (and her mother Angélica María, who was unable to attend) for their series Mujeres Asesinas 2, Silas Weir Mitchell and Bitsie Tulloch of the television series "Grimm" and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro for, well, being Guillermo del Toro.
Also at the ceremony and on the carpet were Halloween Horror Nights Creative Director John Murdy, The Devil’s Carnival director Darren Lynn Bousman and wife,...

Here Comes the Devil
Written by Adrián García Bogliano
Directed by Adrián García Bogliano
Mexico/USA, 2012
As with any substantial festival, Tiff 2012 has seen its fair share of horror – much of it managing to fly just below the radar in comparison to the generous heaps of higher profile, star-powered festival juggernauts. Making comfortable landfall somewhere between the no-nonsense approach of Aftershock and the distant outfield plays found in The Lords of Salem is the crowd-pleasing but never simple Here Comes the Devil, the tenth directorial feature from Adrián García Bogliano (who also comes to Toronto with a segment in The ABCs of Death).
An astutely conceived script sees Felix and Sol’s two children go missing in a secluded cave near Tijuana. The ensuing search turns up local legends and local weirdos – no small helping of MacGuffins – and eventually the children, who appear morosely altered somehow. The parents attempt to...

Yesterday we were treated to an interesting new clip from director Michael J. Bassett’s “Silent Hill: Revelation”, the long-awaited sequel to Christophe Gans’ 2006 adaptation of the popular video game. Honestly, the first entry was a very pleasant surprise, capturing the atmosphere and intensity of the story while remaining accessible to those who hadn’t played the game itself. The sequel, however, has a strong William Malone/”The House on Haunted Hill” vibe to it, which is a little disconcerting. Still, “Revelation” will get my business, as I’m hoping that it retains some of the qualities present in its predecessor. In order to keep the buzz going, a new image has been released. Honestly, it’s not very engaging, which leads me to wonder why certain pics are chosen over others. Someone must have felt it was the right choice, so there it is, at the top of the article,...

What a strange, confusing little title. I guess a nightclub-school-hospital combo could be scary, I guess, but I’m really not sure it’s frightening in and of itself. Then again, what do I know? The trailer for the upcoming genre flick “Nightclub School Hospital” looks fairly eerie, though it doesn’t look overly original. The clip reminds me of William Malone’s “House on Haunted Hill” remake, except, of course, for the Michael Jackson dance sequence. Not really sure what in the hell that’s all about. In fact, I think it increases my interest in the flick exponentially. Things get spooky at the “Nightclub School Hospital” on February 10th, 2012. Keep your tiny fingers crossed that this thing gets an English-subtitled...
