Zombies vs. Werewolves: Is Dead Howling Your Halloween Night Out?

A lone werewolf hunts the walking dead in this post-apocalyptic horror from the producers of Dog Soldiers and Terrifier 3. Catch Dead Howling on the big screen at Tubi FrightFest Halloween, then take it home on Digital, DVD and Blu-ray two days later.

Dead Howling DVD CoverOver the years, there have been many pairings and many confrontations. And honestly, I don’t think this combination has been explored before. To see a showdown in a film where zombies are fighting werewolves may well be the thing fans of the crossover have been waiting for, and Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is going to deliver! Dead Howling will have its UK premiere at Tubi FrightFest Halloween 2026 on October 31. And instead of waiting, it will touchdown on digital, DVD and Blu-ray on November 2. That’s a nice two-day gap between big-screen scares and the couch.

FrightFest Halloween takes over the ODEON Luxe West End in London, and the film will screen twice on Halloween Day. If you miss the first showing, you get another shot. Brutal action, nightmarish monsters and a bleak, lawless wasteland are all on the menu. It’s an all-out clash where the dead and the damned collide.

Streaming Spider-Man: Brand New Day Deserves Better Than CosmoGO’s Playback Issues

When deciding on which service is best to be streaming Spider-Man requires knowing who is offering what, and sticking to Amazon. ’nuff said

Spider-Man: Brand New Day UHD
Available to pre-order on Amazon USA

Spider-Man: Brand New Day may well be the second-best film next to Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, and streaming it at home calls for recreating as much of the theatrical experience as possible. For me, that means a proper surround sound setup, the meanest UHD screen I can use (I have a Samsung U79 55″ 4K UHD Smart TV), and preferably a physical disc. Until that release arrives, there’s the digital edition. And what buyers receive varies by service.

For viewers interested in how this adventure came together, the bonus material is part of the attraction. But choosing where to buy the digital edition requires a closer look at what each streaming service includes. While it won’t replicate what I experienced in IMAX and UltraAVX, I hoped the video quality would be just as detailed. And that’s where my expectations fell short.

Legend of the White Dragon: Jason David Frank’s Last Farewell

A disgraced superhero hides from the city he failed while a rival schemes for the same power in Legend of the White Dragon. It’s a rough, re-edited passion project, but Jason David Frank’s sincerity makes it worth a look.

The Legend of the White DragonWell GO USA

The Legend of the White Dragon
is one of those passion projects made a few years ago that was thought to be shelved, but is now finally available to view. It’s streaming now and will be released on home video in October. What began as an idea between Aaron Schoenke (from the YouTube web series Superpower Beat Down) and Jason David Frank (Power Rangers) evolved into a superhero-style narrative about a hero who screwed up big-time and is trying to save face. That’s hard to do when nearly everyone hates Virtuo City’s favorite superhero, hence the film’s title.

When this hero, Erik Reed (Frank), fails to avert a disaster and thousands of lives are lost, he’s hardly seen as virtuous. His secret identity is exposed, and not even his family is safe. Remember that old adage never to reveal your face, lest the bad guys target your loved ones? Well, that’s what this movie explores too. Although no one in the Reed family is safe, this outcast lives away from the public eye. It seems that unless he’s brought to justice, nobody is going to feel secure.

A 2026 Paranormal TV Guide. It’s All Yuks From Here (Part Two)

There’s not much originality to be found in this year’s 2026 Paranormal TV Guide unless you want your comedy front and center!

2026 Paranormal TV Guide and Chibi Ed, Scooby and Gang
Sadly as we look at what’s new in this 2026 Paranormal TV Guide, there’s honestly not much to be excited over. It’s all a been there done that formula, but with other talents filling in on the role others did before, like Conjuring Ke$ha, which didn’t last beyond a year. At least I can say the slight focus on Canada’s own haunts helps make this list stand out over the usual.

There’s more one trick ponies vying for a piece of the pie and that’s a shame. This year, the top four contenders that fit the bill are:

Sam & Colby versus Canada’s Own:
Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan’s Ghosting

Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan's GhostingWhen we’re watching personalities interact with the unknown, whether they’re young newbies or old veterans, the value depends on what they do and whether viewers care about their narrative. That’s where many current streaming options land. Sam & Colby, for example, teeter between seeming genuine and playing Internet schmucks with a huge following, à la Wayne’s World. Their approach contrasts sharply with Ghosting, the supernatural parody on CBC Gem starring Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan.

Sorry, boys, but I’d rather watch this self-aware Canadian comedy. By filming in my hometown and visiting Craigdarroch Castle, they’re helping cement the legacy of some famed haunts. Mixing fact with fiction earns them a strike, though. When they don’t take the craft of paranormal investigation seriously, it’s hard to take the show seriously. At least they have far more charisma than their American counterparts.

Another detail worth noting is that Ghosting is a Blue Ant Studios production. CBC’s own materials bill it outright as a “paranormal comedy.” It’s free on CBC Gem, and season 2, which premiered in March 2025, brought in celebrity guests like Percy Hynes White, Priyanka and Joel Oulette. At the time of writing, there’s no word on whether another season will be offered.

A 2026 Paranormal TV Guide: Is Anything Spooky Good Playing Anymore? (Part One)

The answer is yes, on streaming, but on the broadcast front, it’s the same ol’ same ol for returning shows. As for the newer stuff, we have our thoughts on what’s coming in this year’s Paranormal TV Guide.

Chibi Ed caught pretending to be a ghost by the Scooby gang Paranormal TV GuideChasing after ghosts from the safety of television has never really gone away. Ever since Most Haunted, it has changed shape and purpose. In this 2026 paranormal TV guide, many of these shows can be billed as tourist traps playing out on screen, designed to drum up business rather than save beleaguered people who don’t want these ghosts around.

A Killer 10 Year Reunion: Deathgasm II Goremageddon’s Metal Mayhem Is Just That!

Deathgasm II Goremageddon reunites Brodie with his bandmates from beyond the grave in a louder, bloodier sequel. Its romance keeps the chaos grounded, though newcomers will need to see the first film to follow along.

Deathgasm II Goremageddon
Also available to stream on Apple TV beginning Oct 13

It’s been eleven long years since Deathgasm hit screens, and since then, the film has earned legendary cult status. For some fans, they wanted more and despite a long wait, we finally have a sequel. When Deathgasm II Goremageddon was made a little over a year ago and released to its crowdfunding backers, I’m sure those of us who missed out were sad. But I come bering good news: this movie is getting special screenings across Canada and the USA this week! We can all scream out a famous a catch-phrase from long ago: “It’s a good rockin’ tonight!”

With a film fine tuned for the masses, it’s louder, cruder and perhaps even bloodier than I remember. Admittedly, I had to rewatch the first film before seeing this one, and I can confirm a lot has changed. Everyone’s grown older, greyer and maybe fatter.
