Horrors of Netflix Include ‘The Diabolical’ and ‘The Fury’!
Netflix Instant just blew my mind by adding Brian De Palma’s 1978 The Fury, pictured above, to their streaming service.
Starring Kirk Douglas, John Cassavetes, Carrie Snodgress, and Charles Durning, “When two telekinetic teenagers become the target of an exploitative government baddie, one’s father becomes determined to stop him.”
Whether you’re a fan of Carrie, Sisters, Dressed to Kill or even Phantom of the Paradise, you have got to see The Fury, which is easily one of the best horror films ever made. If you’re a fan, put Joe Begos’ festival hit The Mind’s Eye on your radar immediately.
Also now streaming on Netflix is last year’s The Diabolical, which stars Final Destination and Resident EvilTerrorized by unexplained disturbances and horrific visions in her home, a young widowed mother turns to her scientist boyfriend for help.”
Lastly, you can now watch the 2004 CGI disaster Night Watch, which hailed from Russian filmmaker-turned mega producer Timur Bekmambetov. It’s the first in a two-part series (originally a planned trilogy), and plays on the tension between light and dark, pitting superhuman patrollers against shadowy forces of the night.

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!
The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!
A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.
Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”
“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.
“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.
“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”
Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.
The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
