The newest Mummy film has recruited one of the stars from the Transformers franchise as its new lead, but it doesn't sound like he will be the titular Monster. In December 2024, shortly before the release of Nosferatu and Wolf Man, it was announced that Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin was set to make TheMummy reboot for the newly combined Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. However, Cronin's take on the character would not be an official Universal Monster: instead, a version was created for New Line Cinema, the same studio behind Evil Dead Rise.

Deadline now reports that Jack Reynor has been cast in the lead role for The Mummy. The Deadline story states that Reynor is not expected to wear the mummy bandages, implying he will be the human protagonist that the Mummy terrorizes. The actor is best known for his roles in 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction and the...

Godzilla 4K Uhd from Criterion

Godzilla will celebrate its 70th anniversary in style, as The Criterion Collection is bringing Toho’s 1954 Japanese kaiju classic to 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on November 5.

The film has been newly restored in 4K with uncompressed monaural sound. A high-definition restoration of Terry Morse’s 1956 American reworking of the film, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, is also included.

Ishirō Honda directs from a script he co-wrote with Takeo Murata. Eiji Tsuburaya (Ultraman) helmed the special effects. Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura star with Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka as Godzilla.

Special features include: commentary by film historian David Kalat; interviews with Takarada, Nakajima, special effects technicians Yoshio Irie and Eizo Kaimai,...

One Day at Horrorland is a terrifying road trip into a twisted amusement park with sinister motivations lurking beneath the costume. The Beast from the East puts a dark twist on a children's game of tag, evoking the intense trials and traps of adult horror movies. Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes turns silly into sadistic, as lovable lawn decorations transform into gaslighting villains with murderous intent.

The Goosebumps books were one of the defining series of my childhood, and many of the chilling tales have stuck in my mind well into my adult life. Created by the legendary author R.L. Stine, the Goosebumps series are largely responsible for my own obsession with horror, introducing the joy of scary stories to my young, malleable brain. Whenever I found myself in the Scholastic book fair with a few dollars to my name, I'd make a beeline for the dripping green font of the Goosebumps series.

Hammer horror fans are in for a treat, as respective collections of five William Castle films and five Hammer horror movies are coming out on Blu-ray in August, and The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant has been set to come out on Blu-ray.

The William Castle and Hammer horror collections will respectively come out on DVD August 18th from Mill Creek. The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant, meanwhile, is slated for release later this year by Kino Lorber. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates.

From Mill Creek: "Iconic horror director William Castle created a simple, but winning formula for his films: a little comedy, a lot of scares, a preposterous gimmick, and a clear sense that fright films should be fun. This even meant Castle would, like Alfred Hitchcock, appear in his trailers and even the movies themselves. Though his career spanned 35 years and included everything from westerns to crime thrillers, he'll...
