An Interview with Scream Queen Sadie Katz

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet amazing people. One of those is Scream Queen Sadie Katz. I first interviewed her back in 2017. Now, ‘ve had the pleasure of catching up with the talented star, who is also an amazing person – kind, funny, and badass.

Churchill, Katz and Mike Ferguson play members of the mysterious Knight Society, an ancient organization. Together, they take on the epic task of training none other than the great-grandson of the Legendary Van Helsing! The movie features both vampires and werewolves, so get ready for bloodshed!

Watch: Showrunners Victor LaValle and Chris Cantwell Tease “The Terror: Devil in Silver” in Our Interview

After a seven-year hiatus that felt longer than a winter in the Arctic, AMC’s prestige horror anthology is finally back to remind us that being trapped in a room is much worse than being trapped in the tundra. “The Terror: Devil in Silver” officially premieres on May 7, 2026, on AMC+ and Shudder, with a linear run on AMC to follow later this year. This six-episode descent into madness moves the franchise away from historical shipwrecks and internment camps, landing squarely in the claustrophobic nightmare of a modern psychiatric ward. One Way Ticket to Hell Based on the 2012 novel by Victor LaValle, the season follows Pepper (Dan Stevens), a working-class man whose “bad luck and bad temper” land him in New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. Pepper quickly realizes that New Hyde is where society sends the people it wants to forget. Between the gaslighting doctors, the hostile patients, and a mysterious entity known as “The Devil” lurking in the shadows,

Film Producer Zainab Azizi Talks Making ‘Send Help’ in Our Interview

What do Boy Kills World, Locked, and Don’t Move have in common? Besides being great films? What links them is Zainab Azizi, who produced them all.

Interview: Mayors, Monsters, and Missing Wi-Fi: A Sit-Down with the Cast and Creator of Apple TV’s “Widow’s Bay”

If you’re planning to visit Widow’s Bay, you might want to double-check your life insurance. Ahead of its April 29 premiere on Apple TV+, I sat down with stars Matthew Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, and Stephen Root, along with creator Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters, The Heat), to discuss why this quaint New England island is the last place you’d want to spend a summer vacation. Between the lack of Wi-Fi and the abundance of ancient curses, there is plenty to talk about. Here is the lowdown on the series and what the team had to say about bringing this horror-comedy hybrid to life. Welcome to the Island Set 40 miles off the coast of New England, Widow’s Bay follows Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), a man who is desperately trying to save his dying town by turning it into a premier tourist destination. The problem? The locals are notoriously superstitious, the cell reception is nonexistent, and everyone thinks Tom is a bit

An Interview with ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ Composer Sven Faulconer

Without a score, without music, movies and TV series wouldn’t be the same. After all, it shapes impressions, influences a scene’s vibe, and lends emotion. One great example of that is the killer soundtrack for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The composer behind the blend of ’80s and dark instrumentals is none other than Sven Faulconer. He’s also the composer of the soundtrack for Scream VI. I sat down with Sven to discuss the soundtrack, how music shapes emotion and scenes, and so much more. He filled us in on his process and told us some stories. Ready or Not Unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, you’ve probably already seen the trailer for the batshit crazy (in the best possible way), brutal movie. A “Must See” Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, a must-see, sees the stakes leveled up from “deadly in-laws” to “shadowy global cabal.” Our favorite bride (Samara Weaving) is back, but this

An Interview with Primate’s Director of Photography, Stephen Murphy

At this point, everyone has heard the buzz surrounding the horror film Primate, now playing in theaters. When it comes to a movie or series, one of the most critical roles on set is the Director of Photography. The DP for Primate is none other than Stephen Murphy, and I had the honor of speaking with him not only about the film but also about his role as DP. Murphy, who also served as DP on the hit series “Atlanta,” discusses the challenges of lighting and weather, as well as how to make Ben, the chimp star of Primate, look more realistic. It’s a very fascinating job. If you think about how much the cinematography influences a scene, it will blow your mind. Watch the interview below. Primate, a creature feature directed by Johannes Roberts, sees a family become the target of their pet Chimp’s rage after it contracts rabies. The bloody, brutal film stars Johnny Sequoyah, Jess Alexander, Roy

An Interview with Death Row Confidential’s Ken Mains, Solving the Cold Cases of Killer Jospeh Naso

Are you a true crime fan? If the answer is “yes,” then we have something special to share with you. Oxygen’s “Death Row Confidential” is premiering this week, and it’s something like you’ve never seen before. “Death Row Confidential” delves into the unsolved cold cases of victims of serial killer Joseph Naso (aka The Alphabet Killer). He is a vicious killer who strangled his victims. The origin of his nickname, “The Alphabet Killer,” is that many of his victims had double initials, for example, names like Marilyn Monroe (MM). What makes the series stand out among other true crime stories is how the investigation began: a San Quentin Death Row inmate, William “Bill” Noguera, Naso’s cellmate, came forward with details of Naso’s confessions and contacted cold case detective Ken Mains. There’s something else that sets it apart. We get to watch from the very beginning as the cold cases are solved. But there’s more, you’ll witness interviews with those involved,

The Filmmakers Behind ‘Dream Eater’ Talk Horror and Parasomnia in Our Interview

We see hundreds of horror films released every year, so when one that shares a fresh story with plenty of scares, I get excited. That’s the case with Dream Eater, which just landed on Digital. One thing (of many) that makes the film stand out is that it is truly a team effort. A trio of filmmakers wrote, directed, and starred in the movie: Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams. I had the pleasure of interviewing them today. Not only are they incredible filmmakers, but they also seem like really great people who are passionate about the genre. So, Dream Eater follows documentary filmmaker Mallory (Mallory Drumm) and her boyfriend Alex (Alex Lee Williams) as they retreat to a remote cabin deep in the snowy mountains for a holiday. Mallory begins to document Alex’s severe and violent parasomnia (sleepwalking). As Alex’s condition quickly deteriorates, Mallory suspects the cause is something far more sinister than a mere sleep disorder.

Filmmaker Brad Anderson Talks About His New Film ‘Wordbreaker’ in Our Interview

When it comes to entertainment, there is one director’s name everyone should know: Brad Anderson. He’s the heavyweight behind movies like Session 9 and The Machinist. Anderson has directed series like “Peacemaker,” “The Man in the High Castle,” and the chilling, true story-inspired show “Devil in Ohio.” His latest film, Worldbreaker, is set to release this month. I had the pleasure of interviewing him about the action-packed film. In Worldbreaker, humanity didn’t just fall; it was ripped apart. A race of vicious monsters known as “The Breakers” has decimated the population. These aren’t just mindless beasts—they infect and twist their victims into something unrecognizable. The film reveals that the men were the first to fall to the infection that the monsters spread. Now, the survival of the species is in women’s hands. The matriarchy has risen, and they are armed to the teeth. Worldbreaker centers on Willa (Billie Boullet), a young woman caught between two powerful parents: a warrior mother
