Even in an age of war and terrorism – or maybe because of it – there are few things as comforting as a rousing Hollywood horror film, psychiatrists and moviemakers say.

This year, the studios are releasing no fewer than 12 scary flicks during the summer movie season, starting on Friday with House of Wax and continuing with titles like High Tension, Dark Water and The Skeleton Key.

if these are going to be like teenager films, i won't see any of them (the ones i already saw weren't scarey, just stupid w/a lot of blood--big whoop).

It's about time someone mentioned the sharp increase in horror movies.

Personally, I don't see what's so "horrific" about fake gore, especially when real gore is happening day after day.

Hell, in one day in Iraq, you can have suicide bombings, assassinations (or perhaps those combined), executions, or even a beheading here and there.

You want horror? Just watch some video from that region. It's usually available for free on the Internet, meaning you'll save a bunch on movie tickets or DVD purchases/rentals, and it is REAL and SCARY.

What a bargain!

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
