SCREAMBOX – April Line-Up Includes ‘Creepshow’, ‘Cube’ Remake, ‘Family Dinner’, ‘Living With Chucky’ & More!
SCREAMBOX has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in April, including the 1982 classic Creepshow, Child’s Play doc Living with Chucky, the brand new Japanese remake of Cube, Stephen King masterpiece Needful Things, Aussie-set wild boar horror Razorback, found footage favorite Hell House LLC, and Night of the Living Dead-inspired SCREAMBOX Original Shifted.
From the masters of the macabre, George A. Romero and Stephen King’s preeminent horror anthology Creepshow is now streaming on SCREAMBOX! After enjoying five jolting tales of terror, viewers can go behind the scenes with the SCREAMBOX Exclusive documentary Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow.
Also joining SCREAMBOX today are Needful Things, the 1991 Stephen King adaptation starring Ed Harris (The Abyss) and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist); The Borrower, a sci-fi horror hybrid from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer director John McNaughton; and Razorback, an ’80s killer boar movie directed by Russell Mulcahy (Resident Evil: Extinction, Highlander).
SCREAMBOX Original Living With Chucky offers a unique perspective on the Child’s Play franchise on April 4. Chucky creator Don Mancini and franchise alumni Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, Billy Boyd, John Waters, Tony Gardner, David Kirshner, and more spill their guts in the documentary along with notable fans like Marlon Wayans, Abigail Breslin, Lin Shaye, and Dan Povenmire, among others.
Just in time for Easter, SCREAMBOX Exclusive Family Dinner will be served on April 7. The Austrian horror film follows an overweight teen to her aunt’s farm for Easter in the hopes of losing weight, only to discover that something is very wrong.
Watch your step when SCREAMBOX Original Cube drops on April 11. Japan’s dark and deadly remake of the 1997 Canadian cult classic is executive produced by original Cube writer-director Vincenzo Natali!
Drawing inspiration from Night of the Living Dead, SCREAMBOX Original Shifted streams on April 18. A group of neighbors find themselves trapped by murderous creatures with a serial killer hidden among them in the ambitious indie horror tale.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
