Horror film director John Carpenter is coming out with his first graphic novel titled Cathedral through Storm King Comics. It’s set to debut this summer and will divulge a whole new tale of terror. Here’s what’s been announced so far!
Black Moon Cosmetics now has a brick-and-mortar store in Burbank, California! The brand launched an online shop in 2015 and has grown an amazing following of dark beauty enthusiasts who adore their products. They opened at the beginning of 2026 and are located just a few blocks away from what is known as Burbank’s “Horror Row,” a street lined with spooky small businesses. I finally paid a visit to the makeup store and am here to give you a peek behind the curtain.

Recognized as the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, Midsummer Scream is returning for summer 2026, and it promises to be bigger and better. This year is extra special because it marks the 10th anniversary of the event! It all started in 2016, and the horror con continues to come back annually to haunt the Long Beach Convention Center in California. Many exciting announcements have been made regarding what’s in store, and I’m about to share them with you.
Creepy Gals Bloodline exhibit at Superchief Gallery
Fantasy, seduction, and carnal pleasures are lauded in the Bloodline exhibit on display at Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles. The group art show is curated by Creepy Gals, a one-woman project created by Linda. Red and pink are her signature colors and naughty Valentine’s themes dominate her work. She’s hosted a few immersive art shows, and I attended her latest.
Selena: From Texas to the World exhibit at the Grammy Museum
The most recent exhibit I attended had nothing to do with Halloween or horror but was special for me to experience—Selena: From Texas to the World. Selena was a Tejana singer who made major strides in the music industry as a Latina and Mexican American artist. For a limited time, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles is hosting a pop-up exhibition showcasing personal items from the icon’s collection. Let me take you inside.
Vamp Jenn’s copy of The Left-Hand Path of Tarot by Cherry Parra
As I’ve navigated my spirituality over the years, I tend to align with teachings from the Left-Hand Path. I was intrigued when The Left Hand Path of Tarot by Cherry Parra was brought to my attention. It’s my first time coming across a book on tarot presented from the Left-Hand Path perspective. It’s a text that encourages practitioners, from novices to advanced readers, to lean into the shadow to ignite self-growth.

Let’s redefine what Valentine’s Day is all about. It’s not just a romantic holiday for heterosexual couples. Love and relationships come in many forms that deserve to be recognized. It’s about celebrating the love we have for ourselves, friends, and family (pets included). It’s about celebrating queer love and love for diversity. And that’s what I want my Valentine’s Day gift guide to reflect.
The items on this list definitely steer away from traditional gifts you see promoted by mainstream media. They’re for the individual who embraces the unusual and macabre. Whether you’re treating yourself or a special someone in your life, I hope you find something that enriches your Valloween.
Luci Ferrum is making her mark in the industrial and eletro music spaces. Born in Russia and now based in the Dominican Republic, she’s bringing her blend of hypnotic digital beats to listeners worldwide and diversifying the Caribbean soundscape. She recently came out with a new EP titled Post Mortem Invictus, a project that explores the depths of raw emotions and delivers rhythms that strike you to the core.
The corporate world is frightening enough on its own, so it makes total sense to have it as the backdrop of a horror movie. The trailer just released for Corporate Retreat, a horror dark comedy centering on a group of young execs eager to climb the corporate ladder. Let’s take a closer look.
Last year, 28 Years Later expanded upon the terrifying story begun by 28 Days Later in 2002. While interconnected, 28 Years Later is a separate film series focused on another storyline and set of characters. The sequel The Bone Temple is coming soon to theaters and I had the chance to attend an advanced screening. I have to say the film exceeded my expectations and delivered what I was missing from the first installment. Don’t worry, there won’t be any spoilers.
