Your weekly rundown of horror, paranormal, and the unexplained!‍ ‍

Movies & Streaming

  • Evil Dead Burn Arrives in Theaters

    • One of the most anticipated horror releases of 2026 finally arrives this weekend. Evil Dead Burn, directed by Infested filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, brings another round of Deadite mayhem to the legendary franchise. Early coverage suggests a darker, more brutal entry than recent installments, with a family gathering descending into absolute carnage. [variety.com], [bloody-dis...usting.com]

  • Horror Indie Phenomenon "Obsession" Heads to Streaming

    • The breakout horror hit Obsession will begin streaming on Peacock July 17 after a stunning theatrical run. The film reportedly grossed over $370 million worldwide against a tiny budget, making it one of horror's biggest success stories of the year. [upi.com], [mensjournal.com]

      • CANT wait to see this…its definitely the most hyped of the wave of horror recently. Looking forward to seeing Backrooms, Passenger, and Hokum too!

  • Shudder Keeps Feeding Horror Fans

    • Shudder announced several notable July releases, including a remake of Faces of Death arriving July 10, followed by the gaming-inspired horror film Exit 8 later this month. The platform continues stacking its summer lineup with original and exclusive horror content. [usmagazine.com], [bloody-dis...usting.com]

  • The Twisted Childhood Universe Expands

    • Rhys Frake-Waterfield's public-domain horror universe grows again with Pinocchio Unstrung, which hits theaters later this month. Horror fans are curious whether the killer-puppet concept can surpass the notoriety of the franchise's Winnie-the-Pooh films. [uk.news.yahoo.com], [variety.com]

Horror Gaming

  • The Sinking City 2 Opens Pre-Orders

    • Lovecraft fans got fresh news this week as The Sinking City 2 opened pre-orders alongside a new trailer ahead of its August launch. The sequel continues Frogwares' descent into cosmic horror and eldritch madness. [relyonhorror.com], [relyonhorror.com]

      • If you know me, you know the more Lovecraftian the better, and imo the first Sinking City game was criminally slept on…

  • Silent Hill News Updates

    • Touched on this game last week, however Konami confirmed that Silent Hill: Townfall will feature multiple endings, giving players more influence over the story's outcome. Meanwhile, a physical edition of Silent Hill: The Short Message was also announced. [relyonhorror.com], [relyonhorror.com]

      • I personally LOVE the feel of the new Silent Hill: Townfall game. It fits that same vibe of the mainline series while adding kind of an Alan Wake vibe to me. Cant wait to see more about it!

  • Horror Fans Feast on Indie Releases

    • July is turning into a surprisingly strong month for indie horror. New arrivals include The Fissure, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, and the Korean folklore-inspired horror title The Alley, which launches on Steam later this month. [keengamer.com], [relyonhorror.com]

      • The Mound : Omen of Cthulhu has been on my list for some time, for obv. reasons, but reported game loop similarities to games i love like Hunt : Showdown.

Books & Podcasts

  • Several highly anticipated horror novels hit shelves this week:

  • Eli Roth Expands Into Publishing

    • Director Eli Roth announced a new publishing partnership with Insight Editions. Beginning in 2027, the collaboration will produce horror fiction, interactive books, and other genre-focused projects under Roth's Horror Section banner. [nz.news.yahoo.com]

      • His movies are definitely their own niche I would say, borderline exploitation films, but either way this should definitely be interesting!

  • “Summerween” Is Here

    • The annual "Summerween" post July 4th movement continues gaining popularity among horror readers. Several podcasts and book communities spent the week sharing reading recommendations filled with ghosts, slashers, vampires, and cosmic horror to help bring spooky season into the middle of summer.

      • If you’re anything like me half of the people i know are already eyeing Halloween decorations….its my favorite time of the year but feels like each year it gets here faster 😂

Real-World Paranormal News

  • Roswell UFO Festival Draws Massive Crowds

    • Roswell, New Mexico once again became the center of UFO culture as the annual Roswell UFO Festival wrapped up its July 2–4 run. Organizers estimate more than 12,000 attendees participated in the celebration of all things extraterrestrial. [aol.com]

  • Haunted Tourism Continues to Boom

    • Paranormal investigators across Britain and Ireland reported strong attendance at haunted castles, prisons, and historic locations. While none of the newest reports have been independently verified, public interest in ghost hunting appears stronger than ever. [mysterious...imes.co.uk]

  • UAP Discussions Continue

    • Discussion within the UFO community this week focused less on new sightings and more on ongoing analysis of recently released U.S. government UAP materials. Researchers remain divided over whether the documents reveal meaningful new information. [mysterious...imes.co.uk]

“The Final Fright”

This week belongs to Evil Dead Burn. Whether it lives up to the franchise's blood-soaked legacy remains to be seen, but between Deadites returning to theaters, Silent Hill delivering fresh news, and a stack of new horror novels arriving for Summerween, horror fans have plenty to celebrate as July rolls on.
