Slender Man opened at the domestic box office in fourth place this week, grossing approximately $11 million. It has been slammed by critics as being an incomplete film that is disappointingly un-terrifying. Some movie goers, however, have had a horrifying Slender Man experience that they are never likely to forget – oddly however, it was at a showing for Mission: Impossible 6… Slender Man is a fictional character originally created in 15 minutes by Eric Knudson for a Photoshop competition on a ‘Something Awful’ sub-thread entitled ‘Create Paranormal Images’ in 2009. The Slender Man is an unnaturally tall and thin,…

Christine Elise, actress in Child’s Play 2 and Cult of Chucky, shared her disgust over the upcoming Child’s Play MGM reboot, which appears to have now entered production. Elise takes the words right out of our mouths by describing MGM’s recent move to go behind Don Mancini’s back and cash-in on the franchise as a ‘huge dick move’, questioning why ‘they would f-ck with a healthy franchise’. Many horror fans find themselves asking those very questions, but there’s always one answer. Money. While speaking to Horror Geek Life, Elise said: “…To make a competing franchise with an existing, healthy, robust franchise is super…

It has been over 20 years since the iconic 90’s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch made its debut on our screens. Although news of the reboot is not new, the two stills that Netflix released on August 13, 2018 suggest that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina may not suitable for children. The coming-of-age story follows Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) as she tries to find a balance between her supernatural powers and trying to fit in as a sophomore at Greendale’s Baxter High. This is where she meets her human boyfriend Harvey Kinkle (Ross Lynch) and best friend Rosalind Walker (Jaz Sinclair). The series is…

Another week, another announcement of an 80s reboot with MGM Child’s Play appearing to be heading into production. The original  hit theaters back in 1988, and spawned the sequels Child’s Play 2, Child’s Play 3, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky and most recently 2017’s Cult of Chucky. Deals had to be made between the two studios as MGM owns the rights to the original Child’s Play, while Universal owns the rights to the rest of the franchise. The original is a slasher film that follows a child’s doll, named Chucky, who becomes possessed by the soul…

In Avengers: Infinity War, the MCU movie that everyone is still talking about, Letitia Wright’s Shuri is last seen being thrown from her laboratory after unsuccessfully trying to remove the Infinity Stone from Vision’s head. Her fate is not shown at the end of the movie, but with all the character noise that’s being made it has been confirmed that she survived Thanos’ destruction – in addition to another interesting Marvel Cinematic Universe detail. Shuri was described in a recent WIRED video with Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo as: “Shuri is the smartest person in the Marvel universe.”…

Sony begins its journey into the Spider-Man comic book universe, with the highly-anticipated Venom movie which is released in October. Depending on the success of Venom, Sony plans to create a ‘series of sequels and standalone films featuring heroes and villains who populate the Spider-Man universe’. In order to establish this franchise they needed a name –  Marvel has the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and DC has the DCEU (DC Extended Universe). It was announced yesterday in a piece by Variety that Sony has chosen to name their franchise the SUMC – or ‘Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters’. Sanford Panitch,…

As if we weren’t all looking forward to Spider-Man: Far From Home enough, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) have officially been confirmed to have a part each in the new film. Fury and Hill were last seen in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War released earlier this year. Trying not to spoil anything for the handful of you left that haven’t seen it (seriously though, how have you still not seen it?) Fury calls for assistance from Captain Marvel before the fate of both Fury and Hill was left a little… flaky. The film…

James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy director), was fired from family-friendly Walt Disney Co. last month due to a number of his sickening tweets that resurfaced; including jokes about child rape, pedophilia and molestation, as well as AIDs, the Holocaust, Mexicans and ‘ass raping women’. Many have written these off as distasteful jokes – while others were deeply offended. We’ll let you decide by listing a couple of the jokes before diving into the latest controversy. One of the jokes: “The Expendables was so manly I f**ked the s**t out of the little pussy boy next to me! The boys ARE…

With the new Martin Scorsese Joker Origin Movie set to begin production May 1, 2018, rumors are soaring over who will play the infamous villain. The film will focus on how the comic book villain came to be the way he is. The closest thing we have to an origin story for Joker so far is Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke. Joaquin Phoenix has been rumored for the movie – but as he is now pushing on 44, playing an origin story seems to raise some logistical questions. Leonardo DiCaprio’s name has been floating around too, but he has yet…
