Holy werewolves, dark magic, and a world on the brink of apocalypse. 🐺⚔️🔥

I sat down with Sean Meighen to talk about HOUNDS OF GOD, Grimmcore Studios’ brutal dark fantasy comic about the last surviving werewolf knight fighting faith, betrayal, and the rise of the Witchmother. Even better? Each issue includes a 5e-compatible class, so you can bring the monster-hunting action straight to your tabletop.

If you love werewolves, gothic horror, heavy metal vibes, and TTRPGs, this one’s for you.

What if every word you wrote… killed someone? ✍️🩸

In I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU DIE, a struggling writer checks into a run-down motel only to discover his slasher novel is coming to life — and the murders are getting dangerously close to home. With eerie kills, a meta twist on storytelling, and a mystery that keeps spiraling out of control, this indie horror proves imagination can be deadly.

🔥 HOT TAKES & REMAKES 🔥

I said what I said — the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake isn’t the disaster people claim it is… and it might even outshine some of the 80s sequels.

And honestly? The Poltergeist remake wasn’t that bad either.

Joining me is @gothdamnit_j as we break down:
👻 What these remakes did right
🔪 Where they missed the mark
🎬 And whether horror fans are just blinded by nostalgia

Are we brave… or are we wrong? Sound off in the comments ⬇️

Podcasters in the apocalypse unite. 🧟‍♀️🎙️

I sat down with Emmy-nominated actress @shitfromkiran to talk about Didn’t Die — a zombie thriller about a podcast host clinging to her shrinking audience while the world literally falls apart.

We talk:
🖤 Zombie legacy & Romero influence
🖤 Horror as social commentary
🖤 Sundance Midnight madness
🖤 And whether we’d keep recording during the apocalypse

Are you willing to die for your beliefs? CONDEMNE

Are you willing to die for your beliefs?

CONDEMNED DREAMS trades jump scares for sharp dialogue, following a fallen journalist and a condemned revolutionary locked in a battle of ideals. What unfolds isn’t just an interview — it’s a meditation on truth, justice, art, and the causes we choose to fight for. Quiet, thoughtful, and deeply introspective, this is horror of the mind and conscience.

🩸 NIGHTMARE NEWSFLASH🩸

The Sanera gang is BACK… but so is the horror.🔪🎃

One year after LET’S SPLIT UP, a Halloween festival turns deadly when a killer starts using local legends to stage gruesome murders. Think small-town slasher chaos with vibes for fans of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

📖 BE RIGHT BACK is here — and the body count is rising.

Spring break just checked in… and so did a killer.

Spring break just checked in… and so did a killer. 🏨🔪

THE INN throws it back to grimy 80s slasher vibes with a masked maniac carving up partygoers at a sleazy motel. Walls dripping in blood, outrageous gore, and just enough stoner humor to keep things hilariously unhinged — this is the kind of rowdy, popcorn-throwing horror you watch with friends and yell at the screen.

The Sandman might be the next cult slasher fave.

#ad Never give up on being human.

Horror legend Vincent Price plays Dr. Robert Morgan in THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964), a scientist trying to cure a plague that causes vampirism. Black and white, based on a book, and incredibly thought-provoking, this film showcases a very 60s sentiment about what it means to stand out -- or become one with the masses.
