While convicted murderer and body snatched Ed Gein has been the basis for a variety of horror films due to his disturbing crimes, a variety of which are directly based on his life, there are several in particular that happen to be some of the genre’s biggest films. In particular, Ed Gein was the basis for the following three films: Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs. If you’re unaware, Ed Gein lived in Plainfield, Wisconsin. He would dig up corpses from the nearby graveyards to create trophies and…

The unthinkable happened when DC fans were finally able to convince Warner Bros. to release the Snyder Cut, a version of Justice League that would adhere to Zack Snyder’s vision as opposed to the version we got that was completed by Joss Whedon. Obviously this type of success proved that fans can generate change, and they then began working their way towards David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. While David Ayer was always the sole director of Suicide Squad, he did mention quite frequently that the film suffered from a lot of studio interference. And as such, it turns out that there’s…

In a rather surprising development, it appears that actor, screenwriter, and former boxer Mickey Rourke recently rekindled an old feud with fellow actor Robert De Niro. Apparently the two have had issues going back around three decades, and even though it’s been thirty years, Rourke seemingly hasn’t mellowed out at all. In fact, his latest Instagram post (which has since been deleted) is rather nasty towards De Niro, and goes so far as to threaten him. Here’s the message that Mickey Rourke gave to Robert De Niro: “Hey Robert De Niro, that’s right i am talking to you, you big fucking…

Audiences were displeased to hear it likely wouldn’t make its original September 2020 release date, and while fans were hopeful that it could be released this year, it seems that The Conjuring 3 is being delayed after all. As revealed by Warner Bros., the film will now be hitting theaters on June 4, 2021. It’s actually a bit of a fitting change, considering the first two Conjuring films were each released in June and…

In one of the latest developments from the ongoing lawsuit including Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, it’s been revealed that Johnny Depp once allegedly choked a naked Amber Heard while threatening to not just kill her, but “f*** her corpse.” This seems to have some similarities with a text message conversation Johnny Depp once had with Paul Bettany, where they joked about drowning Amber Heard, lighting her on fire, and then f*** her corpse to make sure she was dead. The information was revealed by Amber Heard during a London court meeting in which Johnny Depp had been in legal…

IT: Chapter 1 and IT: Chapter 2 are two very popular halves of what is overall a complete film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel IT. They brought new life to the character of Pennywise, cleverly portrayed by actor Bill Skarsgård, and his presence has become a major part of what made both movies work for fans. What’s interesting, however, is that Pennywise isn’t just present in both movies – he’s actually included as something of an Easter egg in a wide variety of scenes. They all show that Pennywise the Clown is hidden in one form or another in both…

The Coronavirus pandemic has forced society into all new interesting ways of thinking. Without many of our traditional businesses like movie theaters, the pandemic has forced companies to come up with new solutions that take concepts like social distancing into account. This ultimately led to a rather interesting concept taking place – it looks like moviegoers will be able to experience floating cinemas designed with social distancing boats. Essentially, these floating cinemas will allow individuals in select areas to participate in the moviegoing experience with a safe alternative to traditional brick and mortar movie theaters during the pandemic. There will…

One of the most popular horror films of the 1980’s is Child’s Play, a movie which glorified the concept of killer dolls and spawned a slasher franchise that’s just as popular today as it ever was. While Chucky, the killer doll from the Child’s Play franchise, isn’t a real life individual, he is actually inspired by an alleged true story. The real events that helped inspire what would become the story for Child’s Play begin with the tale of Robert the Doll. While Chucky was just one of many mass-produced “Good Guy” dolls, Robert the Doll was a one-of-a-kind toy…

Netflix’s Stranger Things has remained one of the most popular television shows on the streaming platform. As such, it’s undeniable that the series wears its 1980’s influences proudly on its sleeves. But according to a new lawsuit, it seems as though the series’ creators might’ve done a bit more than take some simple influences. In fact, the Duffer Brothers who created Stranger Things have been sued for copyright infringement alongside Netflix. As explained by a report from The Wrap, Irish Rover Entertainment has claimed that the Duffer Brothers and Netflix came up with Stranger Things by stealing from an unmade…
