7 of the Best Horror Coloring Books to Help Shake Up Your Art Therapy
You may have heard that one of the modern remedies for a stressful lifestyle is the practice of coloring. Perhaps it’s the forced (yet relaxed) focus, or maybe it calls back to one of the more carefree activities of our youth, but it seems like everyone is praising the effects of art therapy.
If you’re keen to try it out for yourself but don’t quite have it in you to spend an hour shading stems on a daisy, perhaps acquiring a horror-themed coloring book would help.
There’s something truly stunning about horror artwork that causes a conflict of emotions – an odd combination of awe and alarm, comfort and dread. If you ask me, it’s the perfect way to help combat the stress in your life.
Fright Night – The Coloring Book
This brand spanking new coloring book (with wonderfully detailed art by Steve McGinnis… look at that texture depth!) pulls scenes directly from cult classic Fright Night to help focus your mind and soothe your soul.
The book is already on backorder, but if you want to add this to your relaxation routine, you can still put in a pre-order for the next batch.
C is for Cthulhu Coloring Book
I’m sorry but just look at how damn cute this is! Of course I want to help Cthulhu escape the eye of doom.
“Share the Lovecraft with your little monsters by coloring Cthulhu, Hastur, H.P. and more in this creepy and cuddly coloring book.”
The Horrible Colouring Book
Created by Australian author and graphic novel illustrator Greg Chapman, The Horrible Colouring Book looks like some good wholesome fun. I’ll be honest, the clowns really sold me on this one.
“The most fun you can have with colouring pencils without stabbing someone with them.” – Aaron Sterns, Co-writer Wolf Creek 2, author Wolf Creek: Origin.
The Beauty of Horror: A GOREgeous Coloring Book
There are now three coloring books in The Beauty of Horror series! You’re going to need a lot more red crayons.
“Rock-star-turned-comics-creator Alan Robert (Life of Agony) has created a series of unique, horror-themed adult coloring books. The Beauty of Horror is filled with intricate, hand drawn, pen and ink illustrations by Robert that take the color enthusiast on a twisted journey through bizarre carnivals, the zombie apocalypse, serial killer lairs, and haunted burial grounds.”
Haunted Horror Pre-Code Cover Coloring Book
Pre-code horror comics and coloring books are a phenomenal combination!
“The Haunted Horror coloring book features Pre-code comic book frights from talents like Frank Frazetta, Steve Ditko, Matt Baker, Lee Elias, Basil Wolverton, Don Heck, Jack Cole, and many more. This do-it-yourself deluge of dark delights is sure to give you goosebumps of titillation and make your hair stand straight on end. It’s perfect for fans of the gruesome, gross, and macabre! 30 pages to color from the creepiest and most sordid publishers of the time!”
Monstrous Mandalas: Coloring Book
If you want to color but don’t want the linear structure of an established scene, this is the book for you.
“Monsters include: the Great Old Ones, Vampire, Daikaiju, Balrog, Witch, Wyrm, Medusa, Bigfoot, Mummy, Wendigo, Slenderman, Leviathan, Minotaur, Jorogumo, Zombies, the Grim Reaper, Werewolf, Chupacabra, T-Rex and Alien.”
FILM HORROR ANTISTRESS DA COLORARE #5
Chicken Broccoli is an Italian blog about movies and pop culture with a simply stunning online shop. They work with a collaboration of Italian and international artists to produce alternative prints, magazines, and a series of coloring books focused on cult films. Even if you don’t speak Italian and can’t read the accompanying notes on the film, the artwork is damn cool.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed
The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.
Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.
The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.
Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”
Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power
Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.
Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.
Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.
There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.
The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
