Stephen King’s stories and their respective adaptations have long entertained horror fans looking for a good scare. Fortunately, Stephen King has also been good about offering recommendations outside of his work, and now he’s suggesting fans watch an “excellent” horror movie – that he also called the “spiritual ancestor” to films like Hereditary and The Wicker Man. Of course, someone might already assume that The Wicker Man would be the spiritual predecessor to Hereditary. But Stephen King is going back a bit further for this particular recommendation. In fact, the Pet Sematary author is suggesting that fans check other none…

Fans will recall the moment when young Gage Creed runs into the road where the Peterbilt is speeding through. Sadly, Gage is killed, and the real plot of the…

The MCU is pushing forward with the upcoming theatrical release of The Marvels. Nevertheless, a new trailer for the movie might’ve just spoiled the return of a major Marvel Cinematic Universe villain. The Marvels is set after the events of Avengers movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Both films revolved around Thanos and his decision to snap away half of all life in the universe. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, as with many other superheroes at the time, suffered quite a bit of trauma as a result. Now The Marvels will dive into that trauma as it develops her character…

The addition of social media to the entertainment industry has certainly had its influence. Unfortunately, a new report claims that HBO boss Casey Bloys actually had staff members create fake Twitter accounts to troll critics. This report, as shared via Rolling Stone, claims the events took place between June 2020 and April 2021. The publication claims to have had at least six different text messages between Bloys and SVP of drama programming Kathleen McCaffrey where they’d used burner accounts to harshly respond to TV critics after they gave negative reviews to HBO shows.

Friday the 13th is often celebrated for being one of the earliest slasher films with its 1980 release date. Of course, it was preceded by John Carpenter’s Halloween, which also helped kick off the slasher genre as early as 1978. As such, many fans have debated, is Friday the 13th merely a rip-off of Halloween? This subject was tackled in a conversation with Sean Cunningham, director and producer of the movie, and Victor Miller, the film’s writer, while they spoke in an interview. After Sean Cunningham explained his desire to get into the horror genre early in his career, especially…

The Halloween movie franchise recently concluded (for now, anyways) with Halloween Ends. On the other hand, John Carpenter’s The Fog never became a franchise like its predecessor Halloween, aside from a 2005 remake. A fan theory aims to connect the two, however, by making Halloween into a prequel to The Fog. Obviously this would just make The Fog one of numerous alternate sequels to Halloween. But it’s still an interesting concept and one that adds a nice layer of context to Jamie Lee Curtis’s character, Elizabeth, who happens to be a little too mysterious in The Fog. Elizabeth, full name…
