Continuing on with our September Streamerthon (is that a thing?), this week I wanted to highlight Screambox! I know there seems to be a battle between Shudder and Screambox, but I say support BOTH! The programming on both is different! Screambox has a ton of collections to choose from, including: Troma, Midnight Pulp, and more! Even the 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days Challenge has a collection that I curated! Not only that, but Screambox has its own selection of originals and exclusives including Deathwoods, Yellow Eyes, Rage Bait, Return to Silent Hill, and the list keeps going! Need some recs? Be sure to head to this week's Listicle section because we have you covered!

If you want to give Screambox a shot, we’ve got a great deal for you! For just $1.99/month for 3 months, you can have them all through scary season! Head here to sign up!

Happy Horror Watching!

🩸 Horror icon Barbara Crampton shared an Instagram post of her with Michael C. Hall, who stars as "Dexter" in the long-running, popular series. While her role has not been confirmed, we hope she doesn't end up on his table! The second season of DEXTER: RESURRECTION premieres on October 30th on Paramount+ and Showtime.

😱 With the 30th (!) anniversary of SCREAM coming up, Matthew Lillard has partnered with Regal Cinemas to screen the film at select Regal theaters. In addition, he'll also promote Ghost Face Vodka and do a Q&A with the audience. Check out the tour dates here.

🗺️ It comes as no surprise that, after the incredible success of BACKROOMS, Kane Parsons would return to the director's chair to direct its sequel. On September 6th, Dread Central exclusively reported that not only is Parsons returning for the sequel, but that he is contracted for more films in the series.

📅 We're only a third of the way through September, but we can't wait for October 1st! Why? That's when AMC FearFest begins and, judging from their first trailer, it's going to be a helluva season of screams! From ARMY OF DARKNESS to LEPRECHAUN, and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN to FINAL DESTINATION 2, get the popcorn ready!

As Scary Season creeps in, the Horrorverse crew shares their favorite Screambox titles that are currently streaming on the service at the time of this publication. Check out our selections here.

For a limited time, get 3 months for $1.99/month. Click here to sign up!

As you may know, I recently moved to Atlanta and now have a 30-45 minute commute for my day job which means I’m listening to more audiobooks than ever, so this week I’m recommending a few favorites.

Where the Soul Goes by Kat Silva - Eliot, a middle-aged chef who finds out he has a fatal disease, takes a road trip to see 4 chefs in 4 different cities who had impacted his life in some way. It’s sad, funny, depressing, and hopeful at turns, and I recommend it for anyone who wants to be immersed in a world — in this case, the culinary arts world of an alternate 1980’s U.S. Full review: https://candikathorror.com/reads/where-the-soul-goes

Dollface by Lindy Ryan - Horror author Jill follows her husband’s job to New Jersey where she finds herself facing the dual horrors of the PTA and a serial killer. Jill is a perfectly snarky relatable protagonist, and Dollface is a dark, funny, engaging thriller. Full review: https://candikathorror.com/reads/dollface

The Villa Once Beloved by Victor Manibo - This one is a compelling gothic horror complete with an atmospheric estate, a mysterious family legacy involving a curse, and an innocent young woman at the center. Sophie is stranded at her boyfriend’s estate where she begins experiencing night terrors. Family secrets, shrouded in a mix of folklore and fact, come to light, and the Sepulveda family will stop at nothing to keep those secrets.
