The latest installment in the Scream series, Scream 7, premiered on February 27th, 2026. Despite strong fan support for Sidney Prescott’s return, the film hasn’t been well-received by critics. It highlights a growing trend of slasher movies becoming predictable, but it’s not alone in this issue. Luckily, there are some fantastic, lesser-known classic slasher films that today’s horror filmmakers – and audiences – could really learn from.

The AMC show features Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, alongside Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn and Jessica Matten as Bernadette Manuelito. The series is based on the mystery novels by Tony Hillerman, specifically the Leaphorn & Chee books. Season four adapts The Ghostway, a novel originally published in 1984. Earlier seasons drew from The Listening Woman, People of Darkness, Dance Hall of the Dead, and The Sinister Pig.

Although many people associate Steven Spielberg with animated series like Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs, his work in television actually started much earlier. In 1985 – the same year he produced Back to the Future – Spielberg revisited television, a medium he’d first explored after making Duel and directing episodes of Night Gallery and Columbo in the 1970s. That year, NBC debuted the premiere episode of Amazing Stories.

The ending of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 left many fans frustrated and eager for news about a third game. Some worried the sequel’s negative reviews might mean there wouldn’t be another installment, but it looks like those concerns might be unfounded.

The Bronze Age of comics saw a resurgence of monster and horror titles, largely because the industry had more freedom after loosening the rules of the Comics Code Authority. This new openness allowed innovative writers like Alan Moore to bring their distinctive vision to genres like horror. His work on Swamp Thing, in particular, became a famously frightening story for DC Comics, and it’s still highly praised by both fans and critics today, even forty years later. Moore transformed Alec Holland’s story into a truly terrifying tale by exploring themes of existential dread and gruesome horror, becoming a defining part of the ’80s comic landscape.
