A Creepy Corn Maze Awaits at the ‘Clown in a Cornfield' Activation
Clown in a Cornfield is a million-dollar title—so eerie, so evocative, and so perfectly descriptive of Eli Craig's horror movie, which hit theaters earlier this year. It's headed to Shudder and AMC+ August 8, but even if you've been waiting to catch it on streaming, there's much to scream about with its San Diego Comic-Con immersive experience. Why? Well, for one thing, it's a haunted corn maze—and even though it's indoors, it's still dark and spooky as you'd expect. The queue drops you right into Kettle Springs, Missouri as the Founder's Day parade is getting started, then you enter through a clown-mouthed doorway for a stroll through the stalks. Keep your ears peeled for the sounds of comically large shoes, horn honks, and even a chainsaw firing up—and eventually you'll reach the escape room at the end, where Frendo puts a countdown clock on your chances of survival. Here's a gallery of images, though it was hard to snap photos inside the maze itself. For those wondering, this is not the sort of haunt where monsters grab you, though the recommended age of 13+ feels about right for the scare level. That said, once you 'survive,' you end up at a fun carnival pop-up themed around not just Clown in a Cornfield but also other Shudder and AMC+ horror titles. There, you can play games for tickets that'll score you candy and (non-alcoholic) slushie drinks. While the corn maze did offer reservations earlier this week (check Shudder on Instagram and X), your best bet now that SDCC is in full swing is probably braving the daily standby line. It'll be open today, July 25, and tomorrow, July 26, from noon-8 p.m. at the Hilton Gaslamp, Front Entrance Grass Lawn (look for the staircase with the Clown in a Cornfield signs), 401 K Street, San Diego.

'Sharksploitation' Blu-Ray Review - Horror Documentary Dives Deep Into Creature Features
The ultimate deep dive into the world of shark cinema: filmmakers, critics, scholars, and conservationists explore the cultural impact on audiences and this misunderstood species. For in-depth thoughts on Sharksploitation, please see my colleague Mike Vaughn's review from its original streaming release here. Video Quality Sharksploitation comes to Blu-Ray from Shudder with a terrific HD master which delights every bit as much as it should on the format. This feature is made up of a mixture of newer interviews along with archival clips from these features plus other odds and ends to help round out the presentation. Any footage from the movies seems to be sourced from the best available master at the time of this film's completion. While the age and scarcity of the film can impact the overall quality, most of it holds up as a pleasant viewing experience. The newer talking head interview segments look excellent with natural skin tones and surprisingly detailed facial features from the stable filming locations. The colors on display in the footage have a notable sense of vibrancy to them. The encoding holds firm with no semblance of digital nuisances. This Blu-Ray presentation is a first-rate effort. Audio Quality This Blu-Ray disc comes with a favorable DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that captures the desired experience without fail. This is primarily an interview showcase with a copious amount of talking heads to go along with some footage from the array of films. Dialogue emanates from the center channel as you get anecdotes shared in a controlled environment. The score comes through with an agreeable fidelity that fills the room. The material is not going to shake your couch, but it sounds robust within its ambitions. There are no ugly digital anomalies, drop-outs, or other issues spotted. This track stands tall on all fronts. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided. Special Features Audio Commentary: Writer/director/producer Stephen Scarlata and producer Josh Miller provide an informative commentary track in which they discuss why they wanted to dive into this subject, how they crafted a narrative to guide the experience, how they secured certain interviews, and more. Interview with Film Critic Michael Gingold: A new 25-minute conversation with the film critic in which he discusses his background with creature features, notable shark movies he is fond of, the place of the subgenre in horror, and more. Extended / Deleted Interviews: A collection of unused interview segments totaling 70 minutes of material is provided including material with David Worth, Glenn Campbell, Joe Alves, Mario Van Peebles, and more. Original Trailer (1:07) Booklet: A multi-page booklet featuring the essay 'Chomp Chomp: How Sharks Were Exploited in Cinema Following Jaws ' from film critic Sam Cohen is provided here. This piece gives a well-rounded analysis of the subgenre. Final Thoughts Sharksploitation is a valuable look at a beloved horror subgenre that is nearly as concerned about educating you on the creatures featured on film as the movies themselves. The feature is pretty thorough as it takes you through narratives both mainstream and independent, although some fanatics are likely to make a list of movies that should have been included instead. As you go along this journey, your affection for these ocean-dwellers and the movies they occupy continues to grow. It delivers exactly what it sets out to do, so those thrilled by the topic should have a good time. Shudder has released a Blu-Ray featuring a very good A/V presentation and a strong assortment of special features. Recommended Sharksploitation is currently available to purchase on Standard Edition Blu-Ray or with a Limited Edition Slipcover exclusively through Vinegar Syndrome. Note: Images presented in this review are not reflective of the image quality of the Blu-Ray.

Trailer for the Creature Feature Horror MONSTER ISLAND — GeekTyrant
Shudder has released the trailer for an upcoming creature feature titled Monster Island , which centers on a savage mythological creature known as the Orang Ikan. In the film, 'May, 1942. WWII rages across a world divided. Sailing across the sea, a Japanese Hell Ship transports POWs to occupied territories for slave labour. Onboard the ship is Saito, a traitor to the Japanese who is being sent back to the motherland. 'Saito is shackled to another POV, a British soldier named Bronson who holds nothing but hatred for Saito because of his Japanese nationality. When the Hell Ship is torpedoed by Allied submarines, Saito and Bronson are thrown overboard and wash ashore a deserted island. 'But they are not alone. Bronson and Saito are hunted by a monstrous creature - the Orang Ikan - who will stop at nothing until both men are dead. Bronson and Saito must put aside their hatred for one another to survive the island and kill the creature before it kills them first.' I enjoy a good horror-thmed creature feature and this one looks like it could be worth checking out. The movie was made by director Mike Wiluan and it stars Dean Fujioka, Callum Woodhouse and, Alexandra Gottardo. Shudder release Monster Island on July 25th, 2025.
