Stephen King once compared his many cameos to those of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.

Twisters deliberately avoids mentioning a real-world problem, which might’ve been a mistake.
From 1970s classics to bombastic 1990s action films (and maybe even some more modern entries), here is our ranking of the 10 best natural disaster movies.
Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung was inspired by several directors from the 1930s and ’40s when it came to the romance in his new blockbuster.
In the BBC documentary “Haunted London”, now streaming on SCREAMBOX, eyewitness accounts and dramatic reconstructions tell the spine-chilling stories that have helped earn London its reputation as the world’s most haunted capital.
“Ghostly addresses include London’s oldest theatre, the Theatre Royal, where clown-actor Joe Grimaldi’s severed head has been seen floating around the auditorium. At Number 50, Berkeley Square is a terrifying entity bent on harm, whose victims are either frightened to death or left insane by its malevolent visitations. The Royal spirits that still haunt Hampton Court and the Tower of London include the Little Princes, put to death by their evil uncle King Richard. And on Hampstead Heath, the ghosts of highwaymen like Dick Turpin, who terrorized their victims in life still carry on their reign of fear today.”
The hour-long doc can be watched right now by heading to SCREAMBOX.

Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Abu Dhabi are joining forces once again for the upcoming horror movie Archangel, with THR reporting that Conor Leslie (“Titans”) will star.
Bryan Edward Hill wrote the script and directed the upcoming film. Archangel centers on a privately funded organization researching the possibility of life after death.
“It is targeted by an ancient entity that wants to keep mankind from understanding the true nature of the supernatural.”
Greg Hovanessian (Cardinal), Alyshia Ochse (True Detective), Azure Parsons (The Astronauts Wives Club) and Trevor Riley (Animal Kingdom) also star.
Archangel will have a presence at San Diego Comic Con next week, and The Hollywood Reporter notes that Bryan Edward Hill will expand the world of the movie with a graphic novel.

From Bloody Disgusting and Doppelgänger Releasing comes the black metal comedy Heavy Trip, now streaming on SCREAMBOX!
We’re proud of this Finnish comedy in the vein of Airheads – as if the band were a young Dethklok from “Metalocalypse”.
It’s about a small-town Finnish heavy metal band that blasts out of the quiet countryside for a big debut gig in Norway. Metal and horror fans are going to find it hysterical. I promise!
Here is a taste of the rave reviews:
Birth.Movies.Death’s Marisa Mirabal gave the horns of approval, “Heavy Trip solidifies its place among other beloved metal genre films by summoning a dark comedy that even those who aren’t familiar with Pantera, Children of Bodom, or Uruguayan grindcore can throw their horns up and enjoy.”
“Wail loud, scream proud and support this kooky exploratory import that’s worth one hell of a night with rocksteady friends, horns in the air, until the final credits roll,” added Slashfilm’s Matt Donato.
“Part let’s-get-it-together band saga and part road movie, the story arc is awfully familiar, but that doesn’t stop it being a rollicking romp,” included The Hollywood Reporter.
Daily Dead‘s Heather Wixson writes, “Heavy Metal plays out like a mix of Airheads meets Little Miss Sunshine and it just left me with a big, goofy grin once it was over,” while Morbidly Beautiful calls it “pure cinematic joy.”
The Daily Grindhouse declared it “the best rock and roll film in at least a decade.”
We’re excited to see what Bloody Disgusting readers think!
