Described as \u201cFrankenstein\u00a0meets\u00a0Monsters, Inc.,\u201d the animated family friendly Halloween monster movie Stitch Head was released in theaters from Briarcliff Entertainment this week.<\/p>\n

Stitch Head is based on the first story in Guy Bass\u2019s book series, and \u201cbrings to life a quirky, heartwarming tale full of monster mayhem, unexpected friendships, and cinematic thrills.\u201d<\/p>\n

It follows the story of a small, forgotten creature living in a long-abandoned castle. Awoken by a Mad Professor, Stitch Head\u00a0is tasked\u00a0with protecting the professor\u2019s other wildly inventive creations from the suspicious townspeople of Grubbers Nubbin.<\/p>\n

In October 2006, the community of Briar, Alabama was terrorized by a series of gruesome killings. Harvest Brood is an account of the horrors that unfolded during that fateful autumn.<\/p>\n

Director Joe Meredith released this low-budget, lo-fi faux documentary directly onto YouTube for Halloween, and it\u2019s an effective little 50-minute watch that\u2019ll get under your skin.<\/p>\n

Shot-on-video, Harvest Brood feels like a lost DIY horror indie that someone found on a beat up VHS tape all these years later, and if you\u2019re into the lo-fi aesthetics of Puppet Combo\u2019s video games, you\u2019ll probably be quite charmed \u2013 and unsettled \u2013 by this Halloween treat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s free to watch, and you can stream Harvest Brood in its entirety below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Inspired by far-right US politicians waging war on bodily autonomy, phantasmagoric indie horror film\u00a0House of Ashes\u00a0was released onto VOD outlets on Halloween Eve.<\/p>\n

Still reeling from a miscarriage, Mia grieves her husband Adam, found dead at the veterinary clinic they owned. She\u2019s been acquitted of Adam\u2019s death, but is under public scrutiny and must serve a house arrest sentence due to living in a state where miscarriage carries heavy punishment.<\/p>\n

Enter Marc, an old friend who loves and protects Mia. Not long after he moves in, the new couple endures challenges: things go missing and they\u2019re attacked by an unseen foe. Mia is sure that the culprit is a supernatural entity, but Marc\u2019s convinced that humans are the problem.<\/p>\n

A security expert by trade, Marc installs a home surveillance system to help keep them safe \u2014 but soon finds out that this is an issue he can\u2019t fix. Under all these pressures, Mia must call on her buried strength to move on with her life\u2026 or risk death herself.<\/p>\n

After being released only in theaters on the road to Halloween, fifth (and final?) franchise installment Hell House LLC: Lineage is now streaming exclusively on Shudder at home.<\/p>\n

Director\u00a0Yorgos Lanthimos\u00a0(Poor Things, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) reteams with\u00a0Emma Stone for genre-bending movie Bugonia, and it\u2019s now playing in wide theatrical release.<\/p>\n

Emma Stone\u00a0stars as the high-powered CEO of a major company who is kidnapped by two conspiracy obsessed young men, played by\u00a0Jesse Plemons\u00a0and\u00a0Aidan Delbis,\u00a0that are convinced she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.<\/p>\n

After the pair chain her in a basement and come face-to-face with the enemy, the two sides \u2014 the tinfoil-hat basement dwellers and the steely, soulless corporate executive \u2014 soon find themselves pitched in a battle as viscerally unpredictable as it is unexpectedly moving.<\/p>\n

Heads will roll. Guillotine is now available on VOD outlets.<\/p>\n

Narrated by\u00a0Blade Runner\u2018s\u00a0Sean Young, the historical horror comedy anthology uses the guillotine as a centerpiece to explore human nature through genre-bending narratives.<\/p>\n

The guillotine was built on the ideals of the Age of Enlightenment, an attempt to instill grace to an otherwise brutal expression of justice. The film examines the killing machine\u2019s role in history through the lens of five true tales, from the French Revolution to the fall of Saddam Hussein.<\/p>\n

At times humorous and ironic, poignant and thoughtful, these stories reflect the morality of their times, tracing the philosophical attitudes about capital punishment and the power structure that allows it to be. From a necessary evil to cold-blooded amusement, the blade falls with no less detachment.<\/p>\n

Ray Izad-Mehr\u00a0makes his feature directional debut from a script he co-wrote with\u00a0Sara Vahabi, Nabor Cabanillas, Melinda Molenda,\u00a0and\u00a0Lisa Molenda.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The film follows a college student as she infiltrates a dangerous self-actualization community after her mother becomes entangled with its enigmatic \u201canti-cult\u201d leader.\u00a0<\/p>\n
