I believe it takes a well-developed sense of humor to be a horror fan. After all, none of us would be able to sleep if we actually thought that Freddy Krueger could show up in our dreams at night – and yet we always play along when the time comes to enjoy spooky stories about supernatural killers and mutated monsters… today we’d like to shine a light on six criminally underseen horror-comedies that deserve a second chance at success!

1. I Sell the Dead (2008)

The (mostly) obsolete profession of graverobbing is criminally underexplored in the world of horror. Glenn McQuaid’s charming I Sell the Dead remains one of few exceptions, starring Dominic Monaghan and Larry Fessenden as a mismatched duo of corpse salesmen who accidentally discover a more bizarre -not to mention lucrative- side to their line of work.

Stylish, hilarious and more than a little disgusting, McQuaid’s debut feature may not have seen much box office action outside of the festival circuit – and it released way too soon to become a streaming hit – but there’s a reason why this movie has steadily been finding more fans online as more folks connect with its unique brand of gallows humor.

Good Boy

Good Boy started with a simple high concept: a haunted house film, where the main character is the family dog–and the only one who can see the forces that haunt us. Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human—and best friend—Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife!

Director: Ben Leonberg
Producers: Kari Fischer, Ben Leonberg
Screenwriters: Alex Cannon, Ben Leonberg
Cast: Indy, Shane Jensen, Larry Fessenden, Arielle Friedman, Stuart Rudin, Anya Krawcheck, Max

The PlayStation favorite will haunt big screens this spring.

by Michael Gingold from Rue Morgue:
Sony Pictures/Screen Gems releases UNTIL DAWN exclusively to theaters April 25. Based on the hit video game written by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, it was directed by David F. Sandberg (LIGHTS OUT, ANNABELLE: CREATION) from a script by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman (IT), and stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’Zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare. The synopsis: “One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover [Rubin] and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again–only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”

I have always tried to understand the way a society might look that was just and fair and effective. I’ve let those questions creep into my artistic impulses in both music and movies. But an artist doesn’t want to be defined as having a political agenda and so I have insisted that the political is personal for me.

I wrote the disconnex website in 2016, the result of decades of musings about the troubles in the world. I rarely publicize it because in fact I am not a political animal. I am interested in the philosophy of living and the limitations of human discourse.

What a strange time in history we are in when on the same day we coronate such an onerous group of right wing leaders in Washington, we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose quote “Judge me not for the color of my skin but the content of my character” is now rejected by many on the left.

You tell me if you see any hope here. Good luck. —LF

With Wolf Man now in theaters, we’re taking a look at ten fun werewolf movies from the past decade that deserve more love. BY MICHAEL CONWAY

BLACKOUT
Directed by Larry Fessenden

Larry Fessenden’s Blackout is a moody, character-driven exploration of werewolf mythology set against the backdrop of a small town during a blackout. The story follows Charley, an artist struggling with his darker urges, as he faces the dual challenges of self-control and an increasingly paranoid community.

What makes Blackout unique is its emphasis on psychological horror and small-town dynamics. Fessenden brings his indie sensibilities to the film, crafting a deeply human story that examines guilt, morality, and the monster within. The practical effects, including gruesome werewolf transformations, are top-notch, and the film’s intimate scale makes its scares feel personal.

LATE PHASES
Directed by Adrián García Bogliano

Late Phases centers on Ambrose, a blind Vietnam veteran who moves to a retirement community plagued by mysterious animal attacks. The film masterfully combines poignant drama with old-school horror, as Ambrose—a grizzled but determined protagonist—sets out to uncover the truth and protect his neighbors.

Nick Damici gives a powerhouse performance as Ambrose, capturing both his physical limitations and his indomitable spirit.  And, of course, our favorite stoner record store employee, Ethan Embry, is also a standout.  Seriously, this dude needs a resurgence. The film’s werewolf transformations are delightfully practical, harkening back to the genre’s heyday, while its exploration of aging and isolation adds emotional depth. Late Phases is a rare gem that balances heartfelt storytelling with bloody thrills.
