[Video] This Unsettling ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Makeup Tutorial Will Make Your Skin Crawl
André Øvredal‘s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is headed back to theaters this weekend, ahead of its 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release in November, which means you can relive all the nightmares up on the big screen one more time before it’s gone for good. And one of the film’s biggest nightmares, of course, is its adaptation of the “Red Spot” story from the books.
Poor Ruth has what appears to be a massive pimple on her cheek, but as she begins to squeeze it, hundreds of tiny spiders burst out of the wound on her face. NO. THANK YOU.
Paying tribute to Scary Stories, YouTube’s Pinkstylist has just uploaded the makeup tutorial “Spider Pimple,” teaching you how to recreate the “Red Spot” scene for Halloween this year.
Check out the creepy, crawly and downright nightmarish tutorial video below.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
