Come one, come all — you dazzling ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and monsters! Yes, that’s right, we’re back for another fresh-faced weekly horror roundup right here at We Got This Covered. Sure, the main topic of this week in the cinematic realm is DC’s The Flash, but that doesn’t mean there still isn’t a slew of genre treasures just ready to be explored this Friday. In fact, it’s been a particularly news-heavy week as far as we’re concerned — with a gut-busting new horror comedy rising up the ranks on Rotten Tomatoes all the way to Mads Mikkelsen instilling plenty of hope in us in regards to a possible Hannibal return.
So, before you find yourself lost in the magic of Hannibal rumors, follow along as we dissect the latest updates in the spooky realm.
Hannibal season 4 could be a thing, but only if it finds a home
There’s truly no better gift than when an A-List celebrity gets candid about a show that was canceled, possibly being brought back from the dead. This essentially occurred during an interview between Deadline and Mads Mikkelsen, where the Hannibal star insisted that the mind-blowing series could return if the show can find a new home. Basically, Mikkelsen explained that the crew is ready to pick things back up where they left off if any network or streaming service decides to snatch up the series for a season four. Somebody, anybody — please!
Two Cinderella slashers feels like horror overkill at this point
Just when one Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey slasher flick felt like too much, it turns out the future of two Cinderella slashers is definite overkill. While Cinderella’s Curse has been confirmed for some time now, Cinderella’s Revenge is now coming to compete right alongside. As it turns out, Cinderella has plenty of scores to settle, and it seems she’s choosing to do so by turning everything into a blood-stained slashfest. That’s the horror genre for you.
A gut-busting horror comedy is enjoying a successful RT debut
Without a doubt, the horror genre has been consistently pumping out an assortment of fantastic content over the last several years — especially 2022 and 2023, in particular. That being said, fresh-faced horror comedy The Blackening is amongst the best out there right now, with the brand-new movie debuting with a positive 81 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s certainly not unheard of in the genre as of late, but it’s definitely an encouraging sign to know that the wheels of horror are still turning in a good way.
Slither back in for next Friday, gorehounds, for a brand-new weekly horror roundup.
