This Week in Horror History | M3GAN, The Relic, The Terror & Resident Evil 4 (Jan 5–11)
Start the year with killer dolls, museum monsters, Arctic dread, and survival horror at full sprint. In this week’s This Week in Horror History (January 5–11), we’re tracking the releases that shaped modern fear—then diving deep into one of the meanest “new apartment” nightmares of the 1970s.
Quick Hits (Jan 5–11):
- M3GAN (2023) — the AI “best friend” who decides safety means control… permanently. Where to watch (U. S., this week): Streaming on Peacock; also available to rent/buy on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Fandango At Home.
- The Relic (1997) — a museum gala becomes a hunting ground when something ancient gets loose in the Field Museum. Where to watch (U. S., this week): Free on Tubi; also available to rent/buy on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Fandango At Home.

Weekly Recommendation:
- Warlock (1991 U. S. release week) — pulpy occult chaos, time-travel satanic panic, and a mean little “video store after midnight” glow. Where to watch (U. S., this week): Streaming on Prime Video / Freevee (with ads), plus rent/buy options.

1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.120
In the dawn of the new year. Horror is all
2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:10.480
about the familiar turning hostile. A child's best friend doll
3
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:15.800
learns your routines and decides the safest version of you
4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:21.320
is the one that can't disobey. A gorgeous New York
5
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:26.800
brownstone offers you cheap rent and neighbors who stare like
6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.679
they're listening to something you can't hear. A doomed ship
7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.719
locks into polar ice and the crew realizes the cold
8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.079
isn't the only thing that's hunting them. And on your TV,
9
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.200
the camera swings behind the hero's shoulder and suddenly you're
10
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:52.719
not watching survival horror anymore. You're trapped inside it. This week,
11
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.439
the genre isn't kicking down the door. It's already in
12
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:12.760
the room, wearing a smile that you recognize. Welcome to
13
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.719
this week in horror history for January fifth through eleventh,
14
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.200
I'm your host, Enrique Kuto. New Year, same mission. A
15
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.599
quick spooky time capsule. You can actually use what dropped
16
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.000
this week, why it matters, and of course, what you
17
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.959
should queue up next. In just a minute, a killer
18
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.840
doll dances into the first horror hit of the year.
19
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.480
A cursed apartment movie opens in New York and practically
20
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.840
dares you to move in. An icy historical nightmare novel
21
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:56.239
hits shelves and makes winter horror feel like a survival instinct,
22
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.560
and a video game release flips the camera, flips the genre,
23
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000
and flips a whole generation of players into panic. Then
24
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.639
after the break, we're doing a deep cut spotlight on
25
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.319
a mean little slice of urban satanic paranoia. After that
26
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.159
we cover some horror related birthdays, do a then and
27
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.759
now comparison, and a weekly recommendation to keep your January
28
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:36.439
truly haunted. January sixth, twoenty twenty three, Megan releases in
29
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:42.759
the United States, and January remembers it can be dangerous again.
30
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.080
I actually remember seeing Megan right when it released in
31
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.319
northern Michigan in the dead of winter, which, by the way,
32
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.199
is my favorite way to vacation or work trip or
33
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.159
whatever you want to call it, because no matter where
34
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.039
I go, the work always finds me. But we went
35
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.159
way up to the tip tip tip of Michigan, just
36
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.800
beyond the Upper Peninsula, and there was a little theater
37
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.639
in Mackinaw City still open, even though only I think
38
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.560
two restaurants were open in the entire town. So we
39
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.599
saw Megan as the Winter Wonderland loomed around us quick aside,
40
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.000
an AI doll designed to protect a child who takes
41
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.560
that job way too literally. It's sharp, and it's funny,
42
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:37.199
and it's got that clean. This thing is learning dread
43
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.240
under all of the jokes. It reportedly cost about twelve
44
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.719
million dollars to produce and went on to make one
45
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.680
hundred and eighty million dollars worldwide, which is horror math
46
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:56.280
for instant franchise. Unfortunately, Megan two did not set the
47
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.719
whole world on fire. They took a really different approach,
48
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.960
which I appreciated quite a bit. It just didn't quite
49
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.240
click with the movie going public at large, costing between
50
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.360
fifteen and twenty five million dollars in doing just thirty
51
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.759
nine point one million at the box office. But I
52
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.920
still think there's a lot to like about Megan two
53
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.519
point zero. But I digress. The original will turn into
54
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.600
a modern classic as time marches on. You can watch
55
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.240
Megan streaming on Peacock with a premium subscription. It's also
56
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.519
available via add on with channels like Stars on Apple TV,
57
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.240
and widely available to rent or buy on Apple TV, Amazon,
58
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.680
video and Fandango at home. And if you didn't expect
59
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.720
a January release to become a full on pop culture moment, well,
60
00:04:53.560 --> 00:05:02.199
the doll disagreed. January tenth, nineteen ninety seven, The Relic
61
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.600
hits theaters and turns a museum gala into a monster
62
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:14.639
movie panic attack. Gala, Gala, Gala. I always said, Gala, Yeah, gala.
63
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.879
If you've never revisited The Relic, it's got a great
64
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.120
hook to it. A deadly creature loose inside Chicago's Field
65
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.959
Museum and all the worst possible people trapped inside during
66
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:33.279
a fancy opening night event. It's kind of like Jurassic Park,
67
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.720
but the anxiety is filtered through a nineties thriller lens
68
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.040
with moody lighting, big corridors, and that something is moving
69
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.360
in the vents kind of dread. It's also an example
70
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:52.959
of the non scream inspired nineteen nineties horror, which I
71
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.160
think time has been very kind to and people are
72
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.680
learning to appreciate. Box office wise, it was isn't quite
73
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.519
a performer. The production budget was commonly reported around sixty
74
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.199
million dollars, and it brought in just thirty four million
75
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:14.720
domestic and around forty eight million worldwide, making it not
76
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:19.480
a hit by any stretch, but still very worth a revisit.
77
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.720
You could check it out currently free on two BTV,
78
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.519
and it's available to rent or buy on platforms like
79
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.040
Apple TV, Amazon Video, and Fendango at Home. I know
80
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.399
it's the same list every time, but that's where they are,
81
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:42.800
damn it. January eighth, two thousand and seven. Dan Simmons.
82
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:48.519
The Terror is published inspired by the real Franklin Expedition.
83
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.120
It drops you into the Arctic with trapped ships, dwindling supplies,
84
00:06:54.199 --> 00:07:00.680
and something out there in the dark patient the ice.
85
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.920
Even if you know the history, Simmons turns it into
86
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:11.399
a slow grinding nightmare of leadership, paranoia, and survival. It'll
87
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.600
definitely keep you riveted. This is the kind of book
88
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.600
where the environment is already the monster, and then the
89
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.959
story adds a second monster just for good luck. The
90
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.759
Terror is widely available in print, kindle, ebook, and audiobook
91
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.000
on Audible. Perfect for a cold night when you want
92
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.759
your cozy blanket to feel like a false sense of security.
93
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:47.519
January eleventh, two thousand and five. Resident Evil four hits
94
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.639
North America on the GameCube and Survival Horror changes shape
95
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.720
the over the shoulder camera becomes the new language. The
96
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.680
pacing gets faster and the fear, well, it gets a
97
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.680
lot closer. You're not exploring a haunted house so much
98
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:11.399
as managing panic while the world lunges for your throat.
99
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.399
It's still horror. It's an isolated village. It's got cult energy,
100
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.040
body horror creatures galore, and of course resource stress because
101
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.120
it's a video game. But it plays like a pressure cooker.
102
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.079
And if you were there in two thousand and five,
103
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.759
which I was, you remember the sensation. The genre didn't
104
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:41.080
just level up, it changed its heartbeat, and I could
105
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.120
never finish the game on my own. I would always
106
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.440
get a friend to complete the game. I'm a wimpy,
107
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.679
wimpy horror video game player. I get very very scared.
108
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.080
I usually make Rachel play the game while I watch.
109
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:57.919
As far as how to play it now, well, it's
110
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.879
available on PC and on in the Ultimate HD edition,
111
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.080
and it's been re released on multiple modern consoles over
112
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.080
the years, So if you're a gamer, just put your
113
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:14.519
mind to it. This Week in Horror History is brought

130
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.759
All right, take a breath, because we're about to step
131
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.600
into New York City in nineteen seventy seven. Imagine a
132
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.679
gorgeous old building, a bargain apartment, and a hallway that
133
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.240
feels one degree colder than it should. You hear your
134
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.000
neighbors at night soft voices, strange chanting, a shuffle of feet.
135
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.840
You knock on the door and they smile like you
136
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:57.360
interrupted something sacred. And the worst part, they act like
137
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:14.879
you are the rude one. Welcome back to this week
138
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.600
in horror history. Without further ado, let's get into our
139
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:26.200
deep cut Spotlight released January seventh, nineteen seventy seven. The
140
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.960
Sentinel opens in New York City, and it's one of
141
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:35.240
the meaner new apartment movies ever made. A young model
142
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.000
moves into a Brooklyn Heights brownstone that's been carved into apartments,
143
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.440
and the building is owned by the Catholic Diocese for
144
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.759
a reason, and for those keeping score, the film first
145
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.159
played in New York City, but then rolled out wider
146
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.360
in the United States on February eleventh, nineteen seventy seven.
147
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.360
It's pure accumulation horror wrongness, stacking up until you simply
148
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.399
can't ignore it anymore. A staircase that feels like it
149
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:12.000
leads somewhere it shouldn't, a neighbor who watches a little
150
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.080
too long. A party that curdles the moment you realize
151
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:21.480
the guests aren't acting like guests. And it's got that
152
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:27.320
very specific nineteen seventies flavor of city dread, like the
153
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:33.080
whole neighborhood is tired, humid, and angry, and somehow the
154
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:38.200
building is feeding off of it. The movie loves locked doors,
155
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.679
narrow hallways, and the feeling that privacy is a myth.
156
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.840
Even the quiet scenes feel almost crowded. Then it hits
157
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.159
the point every great bad apartment or bad apartment building
158
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.960
story hits, the realization that well, you're not just living there,
159
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:02.320
you're being a You're being there. And when it finally
160
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:07.559
decides to go full nightmare, it doesn't hold back. This
161
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.320
is a film that wants you unsettled, and it's very,
162
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.519
very good at it definitely worth a revisit, one that
163
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.399
I realized was truly underrated as far as where to
164
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.080
watch it, while it's available on the usual suspects for rent,
165
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.200
Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, and even
166
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.919
Google Play and YouTube. If you're feeling saucy, give this
167
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.799
one a watch and help your January be extra chilling.
168
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.919
Time to light a candle on a cake that you
169
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:50.600
found in the creepy basement freezer. January sixth, nineteen sixty
170
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.039
nine is the day Norman Retas was born. If modern
171
00:13:55.159 --> 00:14:00.840
Zombies taught us anything. It's that survival horror is mostly exhaustion.
172
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:06.879
And Riatas made that exhaustion iconic, of course, referring to
173
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.200
his role as Darryl in The Walking Dead. And of
174
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.799
course he was also legendary even before that, for the
175
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:21.320
cult hit Boondock Saints. Happy Birthday, Norman Riatas on January seventh,
176
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:26.919
nineteen sixty four. Nicholas Cage was born. When Cage goes
177
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.320
horror like Mandy Color out of Space Renfield, even which
178
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.480
is a very underrated and very fun horror comedy, he
179
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:40.480
goes full tilt like he's daring the nightmare to outweird him,
180
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:47.240
and it never ever is able to. It's not quite horror,
181
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.759
but it's somewhat adjacent. If you haven't seen Nicholas Cage
182
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:55.799
in the film Pig Pig, check that out. It's worth
183
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:03.120
your time. Happy Birthday, Nicholas Cage. January eighth, nineteen forty seven.
184
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.200
David Bowie is born a man who was not only
185
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.240
a rock icon, but had some very interesting connections to
186
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.159
horror and pop culture in general as far as the
187
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.720
big screen was concerned. From The Hunger to Labyrinth, Bowie's
188
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.840
screen presence always felt like a beautiful spell, glamorous, eerie,
189
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.159
and of course a little dangerous. Happy birthday to David
190
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.279
Bowie Worth mentioning, by the way, my mother likes to
191
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.720
name dogs after actors, and her current bulldog's name is Bowie.
192
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.000
Of course I was always partial, and this is not
193
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.159
a joke or a punchline. I was always partial to
194
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:49.120
her miniature poodle named Dreyfus after Richard Dreyfus. Yeah, Mom's
195
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.919
a little bit of a nerd. The apple don't fall
196
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:59.000
far from the tree. On January ninth, nineteen fifty five, JK.
197
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.840
Simmons was born. Known for playing roles like friendly authority figures,
198
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:10.039
or calm professionals or quiet menace. Simmons can do all
199
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.799
of them with ease, and sometimes even in the same
200
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.759
scene when he's got to, which is basically horror casting gold.
201
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.279
And while he hasn't appeared in a ton of horror movies,
202
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.080
at least not consistently, he did play a Killer and
203
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.480
You Can't Run Forever from twenty twenty four, and I
204
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.399
loved his role in Dark Skies from twenty thirteen. But
205
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.879
one thing is certain, even in the dramas, he's performed
206
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.960
in like the TV series oz On HBO or the
207
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.840
incredible movie about being your best and standing up for
208
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:50.159
yourself Whiplash. He is always a standout and always able
209
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:56.399
to make you scared. So happy birthday, JK. Simmons, And
210
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.480
for are then and now First, I'm gonna take you
211
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.799
down to the Raccoon City where the grass is green
212
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.880
and the girls are zombies. It didn't rhyme, but it worked.
213
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.680
On January of two thousand and five, we got Resident
214
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.799
Evil four, the moment that Survival Horror learns to move
215
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.160
more like an action movie without losing its bite of fear.
216
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.119
In fact, it becomes more kinetic with pressure, speed and
217
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.559
the constant math of do I have enough to survive
218
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.519
the next thirty seconds. Definitely one of the games that
219
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:37.160
set up the modern horror game mechanics for decades to come,
220
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.640
and consistently scaring the crap out of me. When it
221
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.480
comes to now, January Horror is still obsessed with the
222
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:50.519
familiar turning predatory, like the aforementioned Megan, reminding us that
223
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:56.119
helpful technology is only helpful until it decides your feelings
224
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.200
are a threat. Different decades, same, The thing closest to
225
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:09.279
you becomes the thing that's coming for you. And for
226
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:15.079
our weekly recommendation, one of my all time favorites Warlock
227
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.359
from nineteen eighty nine, time travel, satanic panic with a
228
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.000
real video store after midnight kind of glow to it,
229
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.519
or at the very least a very late night cable
230
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.400
when you should be in bed mentality. If you want
231
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:35.160
something that plays like a pulpy, fast moving a cult thriller,
232
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.039
this is the pick. Warlock began its US release this
233
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.880
week in nineteen ninety one, starting on January eleventh, and
234
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.640
it's a lean piece of demon is loose in the
235
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:53.480
modern world style chaos. Julian Sands is fantastic, as is
236
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.720
proven by the later Warlock sequels. He really does make
237
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:04.599
the character work. He's elegant and cruel and completely convinced
238
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:09.160
the end times are just a scheduling problem. It's got
239
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:15.279
chases and curses, bizarre and disgusting practical effects, and that
240
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:22.799
previously mentioned nineties feel pre scream. There's something cozy and
241
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:28.200
creepy about nineteen nineties horror before it all became meta
242
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:32.960
and slasher and attractive kids from Dawson Creek style. Not
1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.120
2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:10.480
