As a dedicated horror enthusiast and editor of EbMaster.com, I can confidently say that this month’s Horror Explorer column is a must-read for any fan of the genre. With my extensive background in horror movies, series, books, and everything spooky, I am thrilled to share my insights on the latest offerings.
From the chilling retelling of classic Universal Monsters in “Wolf Man” to Steven Soderbergh’s experimental first-person ghost story “Presence,” there are plenty of options for horror fans looking for a unique and terrifying experience. For those who prefer sci-fi thrillers, “Companion” is an intriguing choice with a game cast and jaw-dropping moments that will leave you guessing until the very end.
If you’re feeling adventurous, don’t miss out on “Screamboat,” a slasher film featuring everyone’s favorite bloodthirsty rodent, Mickey Mouse! And for those who prefer to lose themselves in a good book, “Strange Pictures” and “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” are both highly recommended.
As always, if you have any suggestions for something I should check out next month, feel free to drop me a line at wearl@variety.com. And remember, the only thing scarier than a good horror story is running out of good horror stories!
