Welp, 2021 was certainly a year. There was a lot of good (Movies! TV! Books! Random Horror Awesomeness!) and a lot of bad (pretty much everything else), but we made it to 2022, and I am excited for all that’s to come in the next 12 months (at least when it comes to stuff going on in horror). Over the course of last year, I think formally reviewed over 60 films, did interviews for at least 20 other projects beyond those reviewed films, relaunched Indie Horror Month in April, and even did a ton of other features and articles on Daily Dead as well.
Suffice to say, 2021 was pretty darned busy for me on the writing front and because there was so much content that I absolutely adored, I decided that for my favorites list this time around, I wanted to do things a bit differently because if I dive into every single thing...

Hello, everyone! While I’m sure you’re a little bummed out that Halloween is officially over if you’re anything like me, we do have a bunch of great new genre movies headed to Digital, VOD, and various streaming platforms throughout the month of November that should hopefully get you through these dark, Halloween-less times. As usual, Shudder has several great exclusive titles headed to their platform in the coming week (this writer is personally thrilled to see The Strings finally getting a release after falling in love with it during the 2020 festival season), and there are also a few films that you can finally catch up on if you missed them in theaters earlier this year. Plus, there are tons of previously unreleased genre goodness to enjoy, too.

In this round-up, I’ll be wrapping up my coverage from Salem Horror Fest’s stellar lineup of films for their 2020 edition of their festival. The films I’ll be discussing here include Ryan Glover’s The Strings, Threshold by Powell Robinson and Patrick R. Young, and Sophie Peyrard’s documentary, The Witches of Hollywood.
The Strings: As someone who has been struggling with her own sense of creativity as of late, there was something about The Strings that really stuck with me long after I finished it. Centered around a singer/songwriter (played by real-life musician Teagan Johnston), the story follows Catherine in the aftermath of a messy breakup with her band, who pretty much jettisons her life and escapes to her aunt’s vacation home in search of inspiration and music that reflects who she is evolving into as an artist. During her getaway, Catherine begins to...
