This might seem like an odd question, but it has been something I’ve been thinking about recently when it comes to how different media evolves. Horror is as old as time, where the arrival of mass media allowed it to flourish like never before. Bingo, while not as old as the concept of horror, has similarly succeeded by evolving. Taking a closer look at these arms of their respective industries, we want to explore the elements that these seemingly disparate ideas share. Adapting to Modern Technology In the most contemporary sense, the most obvious changes to horror and bingo have come from how they leverage technology. In the horror scene, this has been illustrated recently by the arrival of VR gaming. Horror has long leaned on the ability to draw people into horrific worlds, but with VR, a person can be placed directly within a horrific landscape. An experience too terrifying for some to be pleasurable, this step illustrates how

Vampires appeared to be all the rage at one point. Their influence in books and movies was strong, but then, over time, they seemed to take a step away from the limelight and back into the shadows. But thanks to the rising influence of horror in video games and streaming services such as Netflix, vampires are returning to the main stage. And they’re doing so in reboots of old classics. Dracula Dracula is arguably the most well-known vampire of all time, featuring in multiple movies, books, and games. The character has featured heavily all through our lives and has even managed to be the inspiration behind the successful NetEnt slot machine Blood Suckers. 2014 saw Dracula Untold hit screens around the world, proving there’s a determination to bring the famous vampire back to life. But, after an unconvincing reboot six years ago, the time appears right for leading director Karyn Kusama to create a movie, set in modern times, which

Horror is easily one of the most popular genres in film, with thousands of frightful movies made over the years. Scary themes tend to lend themselves well to franchises, and a lot of blockbuster horrors are carried on way beyond the original cinematic releases. In addition to those, smaller studios have released niche offerings that have gone straight to DVD. All things considered, there is a lot of content to draw from, meaning that horror bingo games are entirely plausible. Horror Movie Bingo is an original take on this idea. Bingo Is Breaking Out Everywhere The fact that there is now a bingo game for horror fans highlights how widespread the random ball draw has become online. Bingo has recently undergone a digital transformation, and its popularity has skyrocketed in a short space of time.

“American Horror Story’s” tenth season is a-go, with filming reportedly having begun in October 2020. The theme of the season has been kept tight-lipped (with lips actually being one of the only clues revealed so far!). But one thing is clear: Emma Roberts won’t be back. As the actress works on other projects, we lament her loss for the upcoming season. But why has Emma Roberts been one of the most iconic elements of the entire decade of American Horror Story? Emma Roberts as Madison Montgomery Most fans would argue that “Coven” was where “AHS” gained its cult classic status. The series revolved around an academy of witches in Louisiana as they battled with all manner of past and present villains. But the horror elements aside, Roberts’s portrayal of telekinetic actress Madison was one of the most iconic – and quotable – of the series. Madison worked so well because she embodied what many viewers wished they could pull off.
