Consumer pocketbooks are taking the heat. Climate change is no longer a theoretical issue that will happen at some distant point in the future, like 2050 or 2100. Already, unprecedented climate change is happening on a regular basis and clobbering the American capitalistic system via consumer pocketbooks. People can’t afford ordinary life. They’re priced out of the market. Everything is getting more expensive by the year, every year.

“We’re no longer in a world where climate change affects the economy, or where voters prioritizing economic or inflationary concerns are responding to something distinct from climate change—we’re in a world where climate change is the economy.”(Source: Everything’s About to Get a Hell of a Lot More Expensive Due to Climate Change, Wired, June 22, 2024)...

Just re-watched Stake Land (2011). Man, that was pretty good! I watched it back in the day, but I don't remember anything about it. (I was probably pissed). Now I can watch Stake Land 2 (which I totally missed).

Call the Midwife is known for its honest portrayal of the struggles of childbirth in the 1950s.

The BBC sitcom follows the lives of the midwives and nuns at Nonnatus House in London’s East End which is based on the book written by Heidi Thomas.

The beloved show has drummed up a loyal fanbase over its 12-year reign, which is set to return for series 14 next year.

But what fans may be surprised to know is that many of the cast and crew believe the famous house to be “haunted” in real-life...

A house once called Britain’s most haunted is up for sale just four years after going off the market.

Once the site of a medieval prison for witches, former owner Vanessa Mitchell claimed she was physically attacked by spirits, plagued by ghostly figures, pushed over while pregnant and witnessed mysterious blood splatters appearing.

Now the house is on the market for £250,000. Known as ‘The Cage’, a plaque on the side of the house states that local witch Ursula Kemp was housed there before her execution in 1582...

Ahead of its Spanish premiere at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival, Shudder have acquired the North American, UK, and Ireland rights to Sasha Rainbow’s satirical body horror Grafted, which will release on the horror streamer on January 24, 2025.

Starring Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, and Jared Turner, Grafted is Rainbow's feature debut, and follows:

"… Chinese scholarship student Wei, who travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret"...

In just a couple of hours, VAMPIRE ZOMBIES…FROM SPACE! will make its world premiere at Eerie Horror Fest, and we are excited to exclusively share the teaser trailer with Daily Dead readers. This throwback horror comedy pays tribute to genre cult classics, with a concept that could easily sit next to an Ed Wood film. Following tonight's premiere the movie has lined up additional screenings at film festivals around the world and we have all the details...

It’s October. Some of your neighbors will spend this, the official first weekend of spooky season, going all-out with inflatable yard skeletons and ghosts. They will embark upon the annual attempt to make candy corn, aka high-fructose ear wax, a thing. They’ll adorn their front porches with those cotton spider webs that look nothing like real spider webs and instead just make it look like they went and ritually murdered a white sweater so they could hang its dismembered corpse across their doorway as a grisly warning to all other knitwear.

For me, it’s a more simple, elemental formula: Hot cider, cider donuts, folk horror...

Rescue teams are searching for survivors after flash floods and landslides hit parts of Bosnia, killing at least 16 people and injuring dozens more.

Construction machines worked to remove piles of rocks and debris covering the central town of Jablanica after the rainstorm early on Friday.

Huge volumes of rain fell in the area around Jablanica and nearby Konjic, causing sudden flooding that inundated people’s homes as they were sleeping...

... Human-caused climate change increases the intensity of rainfall because warm air holds more moisture. This summer, the Balkans were also hit by long-lasting record temperatures, causing a drought. Scientists said the dried-out land had hampered the absorption of flood waters.

Flooding was also reported in Croatia and Montenegro in the previous days but caused less damage and no fatalities.

Human remains have been found under the patio of a sheltered housing site.

Hertfordshire Police was called to St Mary's House, Hemel Hempstead, on Thursday after the remains were discovered by builders digging up the patio.

The force said officers were making inquiries as to why the remains, which they said were "very old", were at the site.

It’s 1933. The Oklahoma Panhandle is ravaged by dust storms and droughts so insidious that its occupants are forced to shelter inside, leaving them alone with nothing but a steady, seeping film of particulate matter and their thoughts.

This tension defines the crux of “Hold Your Breath,” a psychological thriller, and the feature debut from Karrie Crouse and Will Joines. Helmed by a lead performance from the reigning scream queen and "American Horror Story" alumn, Sarah Paulson, the film, which premieres on Hulu on October 3, is perfectly positioned to offer a novel take on gothic horror, down to its muted palette and stifling, isolated atmosphere...

Say this for The Platform 2: it gets right to it. Without so much of a recap of its predecessor – a sci-fi horror parable that became a Netflix hit a few years back – characters are debating philosophies of law and economics inside of 10 minutes. By the 40-minute mark, a major character has already committed self-immolation. It’s remarkably fast-paced for a movie set in a series of unadorned rooms that make up an enormous vertical prison...
