The Innocents (Netflix horror TV trailer).
Here comes a new television series set in an urban horror context, The Innocents. This one is an 8 part series and stars Guy Pearce in a vaguely Nordic setting. It seems to involve a pair of teenagers on the run and in love with the added complication of some serious mutant-style shape shifting. Hey, you […]

The Cleanse (trailer).
Here’s a trailer for The Cleanse film, a comedy horror flick which centres on a heartbroken dude (actor Johnny Galecki who plays Leonard on the Big Bang Theory) who attends a spiritual retreat, only to discover that the course releases more than everyday toxins and traumatic experiences.

The First Purge (first trailer).
Here’s the trailer for the new Purge movie, The First Purge, which delves into how it all started. Expect some Trumpian references this time. Is it just me, or is this an entire urban horror film franchise basically just riffing on the original classic Star Trek episode, Amok Time?
Mummy Knows Best anthology edited by Theresa Derwin (book review).
‘Mummy Knows Best’ is an anthology of short stories edited by Theresa Derwin, late in 2017. As is reasonably obvious from the title and the cover, these stories focus on a wide variety of mummification tales. Coming from the Terror Tree label, this reviewer expected a good dose of blood-curdling horror but the contents actually […]
Fear The Walking Dead: Season 4 (supersize trailer).
Fear The Walking Dead‘s 4th season is almost upon us, with added “New People”. That’s as in, new people, to eat and get a bullet through the head, presumably?
Creepy Presents Richard Corben (book review).
Dark Horse have been reprinting Warren Publication magazines in hardback for some time. They must have been conscious of the fact that not everyone could afford them all, so did individual volumes of Bernie Wrighton, Alex Toth and Richard Corben. The latter I have in my hands now.

It Crept From The Tomb edited by Peter Normanton (book review).
I wasn’t quite what to make of Peter Normanton’s book, ‘It Crept From The Tomb’.
