SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The weather is cooling (if only slightly), and the witching hour has officially been extended to last dusk to dawn.
I’ve crawled through the catacombs of my never-ending inbox to compile a list of new films making their way into theaters and on to your favorite streaming services.
I’ve also delved into the dungeons of my wish list to stitch together a handful of collectables that fit within the horror theme.

Together, Agatha and this mysterious teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road...

Synopsis: Before CGI, the art of horror was defined by pioneering makeup and effects artists who brought monsters, gore, and uncanny terror to life through genre-defining ingenuity and imagination. While Universal Pictures laid the foundations for Hollywood horror cinema in classic monster movies like "Frankenstein" and "Creature from the Black Lagoon," the art of horror effects underwent a renaissance in the 1970s and ’80s, when visionary artists like Dick Smith ("Scanners"), Rick Baker ("An American Werewolf in London"), Rob Bottin ("The Fog"), and Tom Savini ("Day of the Dead") took the genre to new heights of splattery realism. This selection brings together some of the most audacious triumphs of practical-effects innovation from across horror history, from the genre’s creature-feature origins to the bloody nightmares of the home-video era.
Featuring: Frankenstein (1931), Island of Lost Souls (1932), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)*, The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)*, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Eraserhead (1977), The Fog (1980), An American Werewolf in London (1981), Scanners (1981), The Entity (1982), The Company of Wolves (1984), Day of the Dead (1985), Lifeforce (1985), The Fly (1986)

Starring Travis Kelce, Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.

When fellow resident and influential Broadway producer (Jim Sturgess, "Across the Universe") offers her another chance at fame, it seems that all her dreams are finally coming true.

Synopsis: From the eerie to the mystical to the glamorous, some of cinema’s most enchanting witches cast their spell in this satan’s brew of black magic and occult horror. Embodying cultural fears and fantasies around powerful women and the shadowy, forbidden flip side of the everyday patriarchal order, witches have captivated audiences almost since the beginning of filmmaking. In the silent era, the sui generis "Häxan" blended documentary and gothic horror to macabre effect, while the 1960s and ’70s cast witches as reflections of the counterculture in films like "Rosemary’s Baby" and "The Girl on the Broomstick." More recently, movies like "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "The Love Witch" have made women who dabble in the dark arts symbols of pop empowerment, occupying their own space between the earthly and the supernatural and connecting ancient traditions to modern rituals.
Featuring: Häxan (1922), Black Sunday (1960), Il demonio (1963), Viy (1967), The Witches (1967), Rosemary’s Baby (1968)*, The Girl on the Broomstick (1972), Suspiria (1977), Alison’s Birthday (1981), The Witches (1990), The Crucible (1996), Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996), Witch Madness (1999), The Love Witch (2016)

Synopsis: Around the turn of the twenty-first century, a new wave of Japanese terror dubbed J-horror took international audiences by storm. While Hollywood horror films tend to rely on jump scares and explicit gore to generate fear, their Japanese counterparts often emphasize creeping mood and tension in ways that highlight the unknown and unseen and create a sense of lingering dread. From earlier precursors like Kaneto Shindo’s eerily atmospheric fables "Onibaba" and "Kuroneko" to outré cult favorites like "House" and "Tetsuo: The Iron Man" to international hits from the crest of the J-horror wave—including "Cure," "Ring," and "Ju-On: The Grudge"—this sampler of Japanese horror is a spellbinding journey into the dark side of the land of the rising sun.

"Back when I was a kid it wasn’t easy to get your fix of underground cult movies. If you were lucky, you might’ve had one local theater or a drive-in with the balls to screen these gems, or maybe you had a friend whose parents let them rent whatever they wanted from the video store. Now, in an era where corporate streaming services dominate the entertainment landscape, it seems there are even less options for those of us who love movies that are a little rougher around the edges; movies that might not be as slick and polished as their big multiplex counterparts, but are nonetheless just as important and valuable — if not more so. Watching these films is like being placed in the hands of madmen who could give a fuck what the suits want and would rather go out guns blazing in order to provide an experience that might be horrifying, revolting, and maybe even morally questionable, but they’re raw, unfiltered, and generally awesome."
