A first for Halloween Horror Nights. <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into</strong>: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About</strong>: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.</p>

The Toy Story universe could very easily become a total nightmare. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TzeQjfZT5cKqHRsEqudtqT.png

Am I alone here?

I've got chills.

I need answers.

I would be pretty mortified too.

"What were you thinking?"

The movie hits theaters October 3.

Now, I can't unsee it either.

Move over, Warrens.

Yeah, this sounds terrible.

Seriously, how will this look?

Blumhouse’s Overnightmare is how much?!

As production on Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein continues, the Academy Award winner has been obsessing over ghost hunting.

It sets its tone immediately and never interrupts its devotion to evoking terror.

Don’t expect jump scares or the blood-flowing final acts of many A24 titles in the genre. Jane Schoenbrun is much more interested in placing you in the shoes of a feeling.

Horror movies have haunted us for years. Here are the scenes that we still think about to this day.

Mob movies have a way of making us remember, and making us regret it sometimes. These are some of the most haunting mob deaths in movies.

Before Andre Braugher died, the actor had a voice role in Scoob! Holiday Haunt, which was cancelled by Warner Bros. even though production was nearly finished.

The Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien looks back on the movie’s summer release date as it heads for a Halloween streaming release date.
