10 Strange Things You’d Better Not Eat or Drink!
Admit it, foodies, deep inside there’s a tiny little part of you that loves to feast on these random lists of horror classics just as much as a ravenous zombie loves to feast on the bloody intestines of a freshly butchered human being… so why dontcha just open up your hungry mouths and take a huge bite out of this totally nonobjective (but hopefully all the more entertaining) list of strange and weird substances you’d better not eat or drink under any circumstances at all… bon appetite!
10 Strange Things You’d Better Not Eat or Drink!
Honestly guys, can you think of a lamer way to kick of such a list than starting it with an entry that hardly anything can be said about at all!? Well, at least I can’t… but I’d like to stick to it anyway, cause after all SUPERNATURAL is still one of the coolest horror/mystery shows out there and being a total fan of the Winchester boys, it just wouldn’t feel right to me to leave `em outta here for good. On the other hand, it would feel just as wrong to me to spoil one of the show’s major angles for all those of you who haven’t seen it yet and hence I will neither go into detail on the whole demon blood thingie nor will I give you any cool pics that would reveal too much… all I’m gonna say is this: demon blood is a very bad son-of-a-bitch and when push comes to shove you really wouldn’t wanna have that sucker running through your curcuits at all!
Here’s the million dollar question: Imagine you’re a little kid and you gotta witness firsthand how a gang of devil-worshipping hippies rape your sister, drug your grandpa and spread fear and havoc in your town just for kicks `n fun. What would you do to pay those bastards back? Yeah, you’re right, there’s only on way to give `em what they deserve and that’s what little Pete did in David E. Durston’s exploitation classic I DRINK YOUR BLOOD from 1970… he extracted the diseased blood of a rabid dog, infused it in the meat pies in his mommy’s baker shop and sold `em to the rowdies dirt cheap… with consequences he’d never even dreamed of!
If you’re a white guy, you don’t have to worry at all and can drink as much Anaconda Malt Liquor as you want. But if you’re black, you’d better stay as far away as possible from this devilish liquid! Unless, of course, you’re eager to see your boa constrictor turn into a slow-worm within just a couple of hours… dammit, those sly `n sleazy republicans really outdid themselves this time when it comes to setting up a truely fiendish conspiracy. Thanks God there’s still one highly explosive muthafucka out there who’s got the muscles, the guts and the will to put an end to their evil doings and make sure not a single bottle of Anaconda Malt Liquor will ever get sold on this planet again. Can you dig it, sucka?
Just in case you ever decide to spend your holidays in a peculiar little town called Nilbog, there’s really only one advice you gotta keep in mind. No matter how yummy they might look, never–under any circumstances–eat any of the viciously green things the locals are going to offer you for dinner… or you’ll end up as slimey, vegan-based Troll food faster than you can say “My dad will cut off your little nuts and eat them!”
If you play by the rules and don’t upsaid any witches, warlocks and ghosties, Halloween’s one helluva night of fun and excitement… however, if you’re a grumbly brat who doesn’t dress up, smashes pumpkins and steals candy, it’s gonna be slightly less enjoyable. Especially if the candybars you’ve stolen are poisoned and the fountain of vomit, that’s about to erupt from your mouth after you’ve eaten them, is the least thing you gotta worry about, cause the real nightmare is only about to start after you’ve passed out…
C’mon! If there’s anything you should have learned from the bible, it’s never ever to taste a forbidden fruit, no matter how delicious it may look! Well, at least in the bible all that Eve got for her faux-pas was getting kicked out of paradise for good, which is a rather mild punishment compared to what little Ophelia had to endure after she ate a forbidden grape in Guillermo Del Toro’s surreal fright’n’fantasy epic PAN’S LABYRINTH… cause all of a sudden the poor girl had a creepy, fairy-eating fiend with eyes in his hands hard on your heels and God knows what that creature would have done to her if he had gotten her into his spikey fingers!?
Fried chicken is awesome! But only if the restaurant that sells it hasn’t been build on an ancient Tromahawk indian graveyard. Cause in that case the restless spirits of the deceased natives might think it’s a good idea to haunt the place and curse the food in such a way that whoever eats it will turn into a blood-thristy chicken zombie faster than he can say “Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!” And if there’s one thing everybody and his mother knows about chicken zombies, it’s that they are really unpleasant fellas through and through who noone really likes around at all!
If there’s one thing you should have learned from watching TROLL 2, it’s never ever to eat anything green. Well, if only the film had been made three years ealier, then SLIME CITY’s charming protagonist Alex could have watched it and maybe he would have said no when his shady neighbour Roman sealed his fate once and for all by offering him a yummy cup of suspiciously greenish himalayan yogurt, a weird substance whose secret ingredient is the ectoplasm of a crazy cult leader who commited suicide years ago and who now takes possession of Alex’ body step by step and turns him into an unsightly slimefreak with a constant urge to kill… believe me, unless you’re a really crazy bastard, you definitely don’t want this to happen to you at all!
Yeah, I know, strictly speaking INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is as far from being a horror movie than it can get, but who cares. Cause at the end of the day, good ol’ Indy is still one of the coolest characters to ever crack the whip at the silverscreen, so I hope you’re not gonna be too mad at me for including this legendary scene from his third cinematic adventure here in this list as well. And let’s face it, what can be more frightening then taking a sip of water from a not-so-holy fake-grail and, instead of becoming immortal, turning age-old within just a matter of seconds… guess in such a case all that can still be said is “You chose poor…”
If there’s one thing that every horror fan knows to avoid like the plague and keep out of their mouths at any cost, it’s a devilish brew called Viper. Honestly fellas, don’t let the “one buck a bottle” offer fool you cause once you’ve taken a single sip of this hellish liquid, you can kiss your ass goodbye in the most cruel and horrible ways imaginable… your belly might inflate til you explode, your whole body might melt til nothing but a puddle of molten flesh is left or your burning skin might peel right off of your skull. Noone can say exactly what would happen to you if you’d pour some Viper down your throat, the only thing that’s for sure is that it’s gonna get pretty damn messy and that you wouldn’t like the outcome one single bit! So the next time you wanna get hammered, chose whatever hootch you can lay your hands on… just make sure it ain’t some goddam Viper!
This week’s new releases offer everything from giant monsters to Spielberg aliens to ass-kicking martial artists and even an ash-eating medical student. Do we have your interest?
Here’s all the new genre movies that released on Friday, June 12, 2026!
These aren’t all HORROR movies, but we want you to be aware of them all the same…
Norwegian creature feature Kraken is now available on Digital.
The film was also unleashed in select theaters. Check your local listings.
In the monster movie Kraken, “unnatural behavior in wild salmon, followed by inexplicable deaths in Norway’s deepest fjord, points to the mythical Kraken. The ancient, multi-armed monster has awakened, ready to crush everything that moves or makes a sound.”
Pål Øie (The Tunnel) directs Samuel Goldwyn Films’ Kraken from a script by Vilde Eide, Kjersti Jelen Rasmussen, and Natasha Arthur. Sara Khorami, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jon Erik Myre, Hans Morten Hansen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, and Filip Bargee Ramberg star.
An all girls trip into the desert for escapism fun instead implodes in violence in the revenge thriller Find Your Friends, now streaming only on Shudder.
In the film, “Amber and her four best friends flee Los Angeles for a girls’ trip in Joshua Tree, only to find themselves unwelcome in a desert town simmering with quiet hostility. As isolation sets in and encounters with aggressive locals grow more threatening, festering resentments within the group begin to surface.
“What begins as fun and reckless escape spirals into a violent struggle for control and survival, as past wounds and present dangers collide in a night that turns their trip into a nightmare.”
Bella Thorne (The Babysitter), Chloe Cherry (“Euphoria”), Helena Howard (I Saw the TV Glow), Sophia Ali (Uncharted), Zion Moreno (“Gossip Girl”), and Chris Bauer (“True Blood”) star in the feature debut by writer/director Izabel Pakzad.
Steven Spielberg is more sure today than he was when he made Close Encounters and ET that aliens are very real, and with Disclosure Day, he aims to make you a believer too.
Okay so it’s not a horror movie, but the sci-fi blockbuster is now playing in theaters.
The vague synopsis for Disclosure Day reads: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to Disclosure Day.”
The film stars SAG winner and Oscar® nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place), Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor (Challengers, The Crown), Oscar® winner Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, Kingsman franchise), Eve Hewson (Bad Sisters, The Perfect Couple) and two-time Oscar® nominee Colman Domingo (Sing Sing, Rustin).
Based on a story by Spielberg, the screenplay is by David Koepp, whose previous work with Spielberg includes the scripts for Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Combined, those films earned more than $3 billion worldwide. Koepp also wrote the script for Jurassic World Rebirth.
Steven Spielberg is of course no stranger to extraterrestrial encounters, directing two of the greatest alien movies of all time: Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977 and E.T. in 1982. It’s an arena he returned to in 2005, directing an adaptation of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.
Here in 2026, Steven Spielberg sees hope in the existence of aliens. He notes in the final trailer for Disclosure Day, “How will disclosure change us? I believe for the better.”
Another movie that’s not a horror movie but worth mentioning here is the violent martial arts revenge thriller The Furious, which is now playing in theaters from Lionsgate.
Xie Miao (The New Legend of Shaolin) and Joe Taslim (Mortal Kombat) star.
After his daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network and he receives no help from the corrupt police, Wang Wei sets out on a rampage to find her himself.
His only ally is Navin, a relentless journalist whose wife has mysteriously disappeared. Fueled by a furious vengeance, the unlikely duo ruthlessly fights against the kidnappers.
Kenji Tanigaki (Enter the Fat Dragon) directs from a script by Mak Tin Shu (Kung Fu Jungle), Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In), and Frank Hui.
A disturbing weight loss craze involving human ashes opens up a haunting world of hurt for a young woman in Saccharine, which is now available on Digital outlets at home.
From writer/director Natalie Erika James (Relic, Apartment 7A), the Australian supernatural body horror film follows lovelorn medical student Hana, who becomes terrorized by a sinister force after taking part in an obscure weight loss craze: eating human ashes.
Midori Francis (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cake$), and Madeleine Madden (“The Wheel of Time”) star in Natalie Erika James’ latest nightmare.
From directors Arturo Ambriz and Roy Ambriz, I Am Frankelda is billed as the first ever full length stop motion movie from Mexico, and it’s now streaming on Netflix.
The history-making stop-motion film is a dark fantasy set in a world of monsters.
Here’s the synopsis: “In 19th-century Mexico, Frankelda is a gifted writer whose dark tales are ignored and dismissed. Forced to suppress her voice, she refuses to give up, even as many try to silence her. But when she is thrust into her subconscious, the very monsters she created come to life.
“Guided by Herneval, a tormented prince trapped between dreams and nightmares, she must restore balance between fiction and reality before both realms collapse. Meanwhile, the sinister writer Procustes and his conspirators plot to seize control. As Frankelda and Herneval grow closer, their bond becomes both a strength and a curse.
“To rewrite their fate, she must confront a love that defies existence and reclaim her power as a storyteller—before dark forces consume her imagination and reveal horrors beyond her creation.”
The directors said in a joint statement, “As brothers, we grew up inventing worlds together, drawing, playing, imagining. Over time we understood that fictional characters were not only companions but guides. Sometimes they felt closer than the people around us. They provided us courage, wisdom, and solace. We believe fiction is not an escape from reality but a way of understanding it. A way of converting truth into palatable chunks. I Am Frankelda comes from a lifelong love of storytelling.”
Mireya Mendoza, Arturo Mercado Jr., and Luis Leonardo Suarez lead the voice cast.
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Mexico’s first stop-motion animated feature is a macabre beauty.” Meagan also notes in her review, “I Am Frankelda is a gothic fantasy feature whose boundless creativity is matched by its ambition.”
The lines of reality and delusion blur in Time of Death, now available on Digital.
Michael Kelly (“The Penguin,” Dawn of the Dead 2004) stars with Kevin Pollak (End of Days), Mena Suvari (Vampires of the Velvet Lounge), and Dennis Haysbert (Send Help).
In the horror-thriller, “When a prisoner vanishes without a trace, Detective Frank Morley (Michael Kelly) is sent to a decaying prison on the verge of shutdown. What begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a dangerous search for answers.”
Will Wernick (Escape Room 2017, Follow Me) directs from a script by Jason Rosen. They also produce alongside Kelly Delson, Jeff Delson, and Kyle David Crosby.
