Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting, its horror division, have announced their upcoming slate of releases for its streaming service, SCREAMBOX.

“SCREAMBOX is stuffing the stockings this holiday season with a jam-packed slate of brand-new horror movies you won’t find anywhere else,” said Brad Miska, VP of Bloody Disgusting. “We’re stacking our lineup with killer movies – from dark horror films brimming with gore to psychological thrillers that will twist your brain into a knot, we’re here to make sure your horror fix is satisfied well beyond Halloween.”
