Screambox Serves Up Dinos, Demons and Dark Domestic Disasters

Horror streaming service Screambox is diving headfirst into April with a line-up that refuses to play it safe. From long-lost slasher oddities and surrealist nightmares to new exclusives and unclassifiable cult gems, the horror streaming platform continues to double down on bold, brutal, and bizarre content. With Project MKHEXE, The Coffee Table and the notorious R-rated cut of Tammy and the T-Rex all making their mark, this month’s selections are tailored to viewers with a taste for the unexpected.

Perhaps the most talked-about addition is The Coffee Table, the Spanish black comedy that’s already earned a fearsome reputation from early festival runs. Directed by Caye Casas, the film delivers a harrowing domestic spiral that defies genre convention. It begins with a petty marital squabble over furniture and ends in an act so bleak that Stephen King himself called it, “horrible and also horribly funny.” Hitting Screambox on 11 April, it’s a vicious watch that challenges audiences to laugh even as the horror sets in.

That same day, the platform brings together four genre legends in House of the Long Shadows, which stars Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and John Carradine in their only shared screen appearance. This murder-mystery-cum-haunted-house tale leans into gothic flair and self-aware wit, serving as both love letter and parody of the very films its cast helped define.

By month’s end, things take a sharp left turn into bizarre cult territory. Tammy and the T-Rex, the once-buried ’90s oddity starring a very young Paul Walker and Denise Richards, resurfaces in its unrated form on 25 April. The premise – teen boy’s brain inserted into a robotic dinosaur -sounds like straight-to-video silliness, and it is. But in its uncut version, it’s also absurdly violent and perversely endearing, with gore, teenage romance, and animatronic chaos in equal measure.

Also landing on the 25th is Alice, Sweet Alice, the proto-slasher from 1976 featuring Brooke Shields in her film debut. With its Catholic guilt, religious imagery and masked killer, it laid the groundwork for the genre’s boom in the following decade, and it remains eerily effective today.

For those drawn to the dark paranoia of found footage horror, Screambox’s exclusive Project MKHEXE arrives on 29 April. Centred on a man returning home after his brother’s death, only to uncover a chilling conspiracy that threatens the fabric of reality, this cryptic thriller taps into deep psychological horror and online mythos. It’s being kept tightly under wraps, but early word suggests it could become a cult favourite among analog horror fans.

Elsewhere, April’s catalogue updates add even more depth. Jodorowsky’s Santa Sangre brings surrealist horror laced with circus grotesquerie and religious trauma. Peter Cushing crops up again in Shock Waves, leading a tale of aquatic Nazi zombies. Made-for-TV gem Gargoyles arrives with early special effects work by Stan Winston, while Bloody Pit of Horror delivers campy sadism in a Gothic castle setting.

Documentary fans are also well served, with the raw and deeply personal Growing Up with I Spit on Your Grave joining the platform alongside the forensic crime deep-dives of The FBI Files and The New Detectives.

Screambox’s ongoing strategy is clear: cater to genre fans who want more than just the latest polished studio horror. With a mix of new exclusives, classic restorations, and truly off-the-wall oddities, April’s line-up reinforces the platform’s growing reputation as a home for the strange, the savage, and the subversive.
