Renfield tragically doesn’t have a post-credits scene waiting for fans

In the modern age of cinema — particularly in MCU movies — it’s often a common added element to toss a cheeky post-credits scene in the mix. And while this often goes off without a hitch, a handful of new-age films opt to not include a scene of this caliber — and Renfield apparently fits the bill. That’s right — unfortunately, the new horror craze sweeping the fandom doesn’t actually have a post-credits scene, which is certainly a bummer. Nevertheless, the movie has Nic Cage portraying a narcissistic vampire, so really, what more can you ask?

Cocaine Bear slaughters prior streaming releases by becoming an online success

As if its run in the theaters wasn’t thoroughly impressive enough, Cocaine Bear has reached further heights by becoming an online success after receiving its streaming release on Peacock. And unlike movies in the past — namely, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water, Elizabeth Banks’ recent directional project has the internet horror community jumping for joy over on Twitter. This hardly comes as a surprise, of course, seeing as the film’s premise alone is enough to attract a wide audience.

Speaking of Cocaine Bear, some users seem more interested in watching its doc

Truth be told, Cocaine Bear is entertaining all on its own — but a brand-new Peacock documentary showcasing the case’s true events seems to be quickly taking over the internet. The aforementioned doc has been released alongside the fun-filled film, which further drives home the credibility of the story and allows audiences to become more knowledgeable about the history of Cocaine Bear. Either way, we’re eating up the content like hotcakes.

Crawl back in on Monday, blood-suckers, for a fresh-faced horror roundup.
