Hulu’s summer hit, Prey, was an instant hit for the streaming platform and it makes sense why. The prequel managed to breathe new life into the franchise with an original story and compelling action sequences.

The Munsters (2022)
I’ve always fancied myself more of an “Addams Family” fan but I have great respect for the “Munsters” franchise. It’s a shame that Rob Zombie, the professed horror fan has so oddly botched his one attempt at reviving the “Munsters.” Zombie has the golden opportunity to really reinvigorate the Munsters for a new generation and drops the ball for what I can only describe as a disaster of a reboot.
The Man in Room 6 (2022)

Although now he’s headed for the bigger blockbusters, Wingard’s horror outings tend to channel John Carpenter with how they mesh sub-genres.
Dracula 2000 Or: Before Gerard Butler was a Meme
Dammit I love “Dracula 2000.”
I’m not too sure what the ultimate plan was for the Dracula character in the larger scheme of things, except the fact that everything had to be rebooted in the new millennium apparently. Everything had to press the reset button, including Dracula. This Dracula was a hunky vampire for the modern age where he would once again roam free to build his army, and do battle with Van Helsing. And he would do it set to rock music that ruled the radio, wreaking havoc to the tune of System of a Down, Linkin Park, and Disturbed, to name a simple few.
