I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t most excited this week about a movie that isn’t even really a horror movie so much as it is a documentary on one of the best examples of 1980s subculture: The Garbage Pail Kids. Our other heavy hitters this week are Leatherface and Friend Request.
Meanwhile, coulrophobics should probably steer clear of Creepy Clowns.
Click on the titles below for our full coverage, and remember to check back every Thursday at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET for updates.
30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story
In the 1980s a bunch of underground cartoonists parodied a popular doll. The resulting commercial product tapped into the international kid zeitgeist. That young generation felt that this product spoke to the revulsion they had for the corporate pop culture that was being fed to them.
Still reeling from a traumatic childhood experience with an alcoholic mother and her deranged carnie boyfriend, a mild mannered milquetoast finds himself at the mercy of a monstrous alter ego: a sadistic killer clown with a tickling fetish.
When a college student unfriends a mysterious girl online, she finds herself fighting a demonic presence that wants to make her lonely by killing her closest friends.
In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.
An alcoholic drifter must battle withdrawal and psychotic rednecks after he becomes the target of a deranged sporting event.
Recovering from the trauma of being kidnapped last Halloween by the Blue Skeleton – a group who take “extreme haunt” to another level – five friends decide they must face their fears in order to move on. Heading back out on the road to visit more haunted house attractions, signs of the Blue Skeleton start appearing again and a new terror begins.
A teenage Leatherface escapes from a mental hospital with three other inmates, kidnapping a young nurse and taking her on a road trip from hell while being pursued by an equally deranged lawman out for revenge.
Deep in the Northern California woods, in the heart of the notorious Emerald Triangle, lies a remote cabin. The residents struggle to fight off the repeated attacks and abductions by mysterious creatures that have plagued them for years. When a local pot farmer is caught up with a wayward group of campers the situation quickly escalates into total carnage.
A woman falls deeper into paranoia after taking a deadly drug.
