Welcome back to Shadyside—where the blood never dries and the drama never ends. Fear Street: Prom Queen, the latest installment in the R.L. Stine-inspired series, hits Netflix on May 23, delivering a retro-styled slasher that plays like Carrie meets I Know What You Did Last Summer with a synth-drenched, neon glow-up. Directed by Matt Palmer and co-written with Donald McLeary, Prom Queen dives into the cutthroat world of high school royalty in 1988.
Read MoreClown in a Cornfield (2025)
Eli Craig’s Clown in a Cornfield is the kind of horror movie that knows exactly what it is—and executes with the confidence of a masked killer in broad daylight. Adapted from Adam Cesare’s novel by Craig and Carter Blanchard, the film is a back-to-basics slasher that manages to feel both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly fresh. Set in the economically shattered town of Kettle Springs, the story follows Quinn and her father as they attempt to rebuild their lives following a tragic past.
Read MoreThe Ugly Stepsister (2025)
From the very first frame of Emilie Blichfeldt’s feature directorial debut, The Ugly Stepsister, it’s clear that we’re in for something far removed from the polished perfection of Disney’s animated fairy tales—or the chaos of whatever’s happening in The Twisted Childhood Universe. What Blichfeldt delivers instead is a brutal, beautifully crafted, and unsettling reimagining of Cinderella filtered through a lens of body horror, biting satire, and feminist fury. Set in a lush, live-action world that mimics the meticulous detail of a Disney production, The Ugly Stepsister feels like it’s been plucked from a dream—or a nightmare.

However, his sense of disconnection soon takes a backseat when a masked killer starts picking off the counselors, leading to a tense, bloody showdown in the woods.
Read MoreI Heart Willie (2024)
Alejandro G. Alegre’s I Heart Willie is a film that knows exactly what it is—a campy, gore-filled fever dream loosely inspired by Steamboat Willie. While it borrows heavily from horror classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this twisted slasher tale still manages to stand out with its absurdity and unexpected moments of brilliance. Despite some obvious flaws, I Heart Willie is a fun and bizarre ride that horror fans should check out—just don’t expect Scorsese.
