ATREYU Singer Alex Varkatzas Shares His Favorite Horror Flicks
Atreyu’s always paid homage to the horror genre. Take the cover of their 2004 breakthrough album, The Curse. It featured a super hot, scantily clad vampire chick, instantly giving the album a pronounced darkness. Infectious cuts like “Bleeding Mascara” and “Right Side of the Bed” didn’t hurt their case either. Also, the fact that the SoCal metalcore quintet named itself after a character from The Neverending Story is pretty scary in and of itself…
1. Halloween
Number one is going to be John Carpenter’s Halloween. I think it’s rad how Michael Myers never runs and the film is not that gory; it’s just intense. Michael is always there. You can’t get away from him! The music was super creepy. On the DVD’s behind-the-scenes feature, they said the movie actually didn’t get picked up until they added the special piano track to it that John Carpenter wrote. Once he wrote that, the film got distribution. It’s cool because it was an independent movie that became huge. This is definitely my number one horror film!
Read on for the rest of the list! 2. Friday the 13th
You can’t go wrong with Friday the 13th. If you think about the original Friday the 13th, you don’t even fucking see Jason! He’s not in the series until the second film. The original Friday the 13th is also cool because Kevin Bacon gets killed.
3. The Ring
The one with Naomi Watts—not the Japanese one! It’s just fucking creepy. I tried to watch it with this girl once in the summer, and I just had to kick her out, turn it off and go to bed [Laughs].
4. The Lost Boys
It’s just punk rock vampires versus Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. It doesn’t get any better than that. It’s a one-of-a-kind movie! I thought they were going to do a remake or something, but I don’t think it can properly happen. You can’t get Corey Haim and Corey Feldman back [Laughs].
5. The Hills Have Eyes
That is a fucking disturbing, disturbing, disturbing movie! It’s gross [Laughs].

Blumhouse is bringing killer doll M3GAN back to the screen in M3GAN 2.0 in 2025, and Deadline reports today that Ivanna Sakhno (Let It Snow, “Ahsoka”) has signed on to star.
Ivanna Sakhno is said to have a “major role” in the upcoming sequel.
The follow-up from Universal and Blumhouse will release in theaters on May 16, 2025.
Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are back for the sequel, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the script and James Wan on board to produce.
SPOILER WARNING: M3GAN ends with the titular doll being destroyed, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the Child’s Play franchise it’s that killer dolls can never truly be killed!
M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.
When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
