Happy Halloween, horror fans! This year’s All Hallows celebrations might be a little different, but that doesn’t mean we’re not keeping the seasonal spirit alive here on The Witching Hour. In fact, hosts Perri Nemiroff and Haleigh Foutch put together a streaming Halloween party that’s all about how to keep the party going. If you’re wondering how to throw a safe and spooky (but still raging and altogether ooky) Halloween party this year, we teamed up with Movies Anywhere and some of our most trusted Halloween party experts and favorite Witching Hour guests to help …
John Carpenter hasn’t directed a movie since 2010’s The Ward, and in recent years has shifted his creative output almost entirely towards his musical career. It’s not an entirely unexpected swerve, especially considering that he composed the scores to many of his very best movies (including, of course, Halloween), but it is very, very delightful. And today he, of course, announced a new album called Lost Themes III: Alive After Death (composed, once again, with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies), which will be out via Sacred Bones Records on February 5, 2021. But don’t worry, this …
Floorboards creak, doors slam shut, and spooky spirits go bump in the night; the haunted house movie is a staple of the horror genre, and for good reason — paranormal thrills never go out of style. Where slashers and creature features come and go from cinematic trends, tales of ghostly apparitions and supernatural spooks never seem to go out of style. Perhaps it's because the haunted house genre contains magnitudes. Gothic romance, quirky comedies, and of course, tales of terror populate the genre, which offers a big, free realm for filmmakers to play in. It's also a visceral, primal …
Given the surfeit of commercially haunted real estate Halloween that’s come to occupy today’s pop culture landscape, you hardly need us to tell you there'll be more spooky content available this month than any one person could watch in a whole year of Octobers. And yet, while everyone and their great aunt can expect to stumble on at least one Tim Burton marathon when flipping through Freeform’s annual 31 Nights of Halloween ghouls-travaganza, we recognize that the recent explosion of streaming services, matched with necessity of keeping a whole family entertained night after night during …
While it’s been less than a year since the computer-animated Addams Family became a surprise hit ($203 million box office on a $24 million budget), a sequel is well underway with a release date slated for next Halloween. And what’s more – we already have a teaser trailer. Snap snap. The sequel reunites the starry cast of the first film, including Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Kroll, Bette Midler and Snoop Dogg as the titular, altogether ooky family. And this time they'll be joined by Bill Hader and Javon “Wanna” Walton, who will be …
I am beyond thrilled to introduce you to your newest nightmare: IRONFACE. Why? Because I'm not just a fan of Dan Paul's brutal, metal-masked killer who's part Jason Voorhees, part Terminator, I also happen to be the campaign manager for the current Kickstarter run. This campaign, which is nearly 90% complete as of this writing -- after less than one day! -- aims to bring the origin story of IRONFACE to life in a professionally produced comic book. But let me take you back to the beginning of the nightmare... Like lots of kids tend to do, Dan …
Helstrom is here (finally). The Hulu Original Series, technically a co-production of Marvel Entertainment (and set, somewhat canonically, inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe), was announced back in 2019 and now has a release date and a new trailer. Release date: October 16. Trailer: below. Hulu’s Helstrom is based on the Marvel Comics character Daimon Helstrom, the Son of Satan, who debuted in an issue of Ghost Rider back in 1973. In the new series he’s played by Tom Austen, with his sister Santana (also a Marvel character dating back from the 70s) played by Sydney Lemmon. In …
Amazon Prime Video has released the official trailer for Truth Seekers. The forthcoming Brit comedy springs from the reunion of Cornetto Trilogy co-stars and IRL BFFs Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who serve as co-writers and executive producers in addition to serving as two of the show's stars.

This time around, we get a better introduction to the ragtag, paranormal investigative team at the heart of the Truth Seekers …
The Freeform Halloween schedule is here! It’s become a bit of an annual tradition to enjoy the comfort of spooky movies on Freeform (and before that ABC Family) every night throughout the month of October, and so the arrival of the official 31 Nights of Halloween schedule is reason to celebrate. The schedule is chock-full of Halloween favorites like Nightmare Before Christmas and Casper, and of course the Disney stalwart Hocus Pocus which is playing frequently throughout October. New additions to the lineup this year include Paul Feig's underrated Ghostbusters (2016), Hotel Transylvania 2, and Hotel Transylvania …
Certain plebeians — perhaps those unfamiliar with the concept of time inversion — will tell you that Halloween is "on October 31st". To those I say, "Boo!" And then, as they run away scared out of their shorts, I say, "Halloween is whenever you want it to be!" I'm thankful Disney+ backs up my strong stance, because they just released a group of spooky movies to get your Halloween celebrations started as early as you want them to (via Bloody Disgusting). There's lots of gems in this new Halloween-themed collection of flicks to cuddle up and enjoy your PSL'…
Hulu's anthology feature-film take on Clive Barker's Books of Blood officially has a debut date smackdab in the middle of Spooky Season 2020: October 7. Directed by Brannon Braga (The Orville) and produced, strangely enough, by Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door, Books of Blood will adapt three stories from Barker's landmark short story collections. Books of Blood stars Britt Robertson, Rafi Gavron, Anna Friel, Yul Vazquez, and Freda Foh Shen. No word yet on which stories are getting the film treatment here, but Barker's tales have a solid track record. Just some examples: His "The …
