Forbidden Fruits is part of a burgeoning subgenre of horror movies that engage specifically with femininity and feminine aesthetics, dubbed 'girl horror' in a recent article in Rue Morgue magazine.

While John Carpenter's 1982 remake was initially dismissed as an empty, nihilistic gorefest, The Thing (née Another World) has since been reevaluated as one of the greatest science-fiction films of the '80s, and certainly one of the most influential.

Upon going solo after White Zombie's breakup in the late '90s, the one-time noise-rock underdog became metal's demonoid phenom with 1998's Hellbilly Deluxe, a monster mosh of horror-themed industrial-metal that spawned the generational vampiric speedway anthem, "Dragula," along with several other Halloween playlist essentials.

In 1974, Tobe Hooper made The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a ruthless movie about Leatherface laying waste to an unlucky friend group.

Netflix and Universal were very kind to let me go direct Scream VII and put some projects on hold. Now I'm focused on those. The first is a TV show based in the Universal monster land.

This isn't your average pandemic thriller; here, the infected meld with inorganic material in their surroundings, until their outward contours and their personhood are gone. Thibault Emin's film starts with a little whiff of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's Delicatessen. After their one-night stand, hypochondriac Anx (Matthieu Sampeur) and impertinent Cass (Edith Proust) find themselves bunkered up in one corner of a madcap apartment block.

In 2006's Final Destination 3 the disaster is a high-speed roller coaster derailment, narrowly avoided thanks to a premonition experienced by high school senior Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). But as fans know, Death doesn't like being ghosted. One by one, the survivors are stalked and eliminated through elaborately staged "accidents" that turn mundane locations into Rube Goldberg-ian death traps.
