Some of the best horror movies ever are streaming for free

IGN’s Festival of Fear is underway at IGN as we countdown the days to Halloween, and we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit our best horror video game Face-Off! Do any of the newest spooky games, including Resident Evil 4 Remake, Lies of P, and Sons of the Forest, have the scares to dethrone Silent Hill 2 or the other classics on the list? You can help decide!

A24's Talk to Me is headed to Netflix just in time to stream over Halloween weekend.

Some players in Europe are claiming that they are unable to install their physical copy of Spider-Man 2.

We’re right in the thick of Halloween season, which means you’re probably looking for a great horror movie to watch. But while the endless list of favorites and classics is always a place to start, sometimes you want something off the beaten path. The good news is there are plenty of underrated horror movies out there, from titles you’ve ignored on Netflix to a few hidden gems you may not have heard of before.

Usually, movies are an escape from a world filled with scary, terrible things, but we all still enjoy the occasional trip into the darkness. Beyond stupid fun, scary movies can also bring people together: You can curl up into your loved one to feel safe, make jokes to alleviate the really intense parts, or laugh together afterward at gross-out moments.

As another week draws to a close, we've got another fresh batch of streaming recommendations to keep you entertained over the weekend. If you're in need of a new binge-watch, take a look at Bodies, a new sci-fi murder mystery on Netflix, with Stephen Graham heading up its ensemble cast. It's a good week for movies, too – horror-thriller Cobweb is now streaming on Hulu and Pablo Larraín's Princess Diana biopic Spencer is available on Netflix in the UK. 

Director has revealed his thoughts on DC‘s new direction under James Gunn and that he himself has spoken with DC Studios.

Disney and developer Dlala Studios announced Disney Illusion Island in 2022, and it immediately shot up high on my list of games to play this year. It did so for several reasons – its beautifully realized visuals, top-notch voice acting, and, of course, the potential to play as some of my favorite characters in a Metroidvania-esque adventure. That wasn't all, though; The snippets of composer David Housden's score in the reveal trailer indicated this team was on to something. 

Starfield. BioShock. Dishonored. Some of the greatest PC games of the last two decades owe their inspiration to the Thief series. Originally developed by Looking Glass Studios, of System Shock and Ultima fame, the third Thief, Deadly Shadows, would move to Ion Storm Austin, shortly after it shipped another stone-cold classic, the first Deus Ex. The team that helped build Thief 3 would eventually work on some of the most-beloved games of the modern era, including Skyrim, BioShock, and Starfield. Renowned for its superlative Shalebridge Cradle level, Thief Deadly Shadows is now all yours for less than $1.

Dead Space, Frog Detective, and Like a Dragon: Ishin are some of this month's big highlights.

Spider-Man 2 is one of the most confident sequels we’ve played in years. Not only does it address, often mock, and then resolve the issues of the first game, but it also introduces new mechanics to improve the best parts of the original.

According to its director, the upcoming movie adaptation of horror video game Iron Lung is set to break the record for bloodiest film ever. If its first official trailer, which you can watch above, is anything to go by, we can certainly see why...
