Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

It’s an unfortunate time for memorable actor Danny Hicks, perhaps best remembered for his role in Sam Raimi’s classic horror film Evil Dead 2. He recently revealed to his fans that he was just diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. This means he was given only one to three years left to live, something which is incredibly sad to hear. With that said, he’s still staying positive with this news – and he also managed to inform fans that he has still been incredibly happy with and grateful for his life. Danny Hicks explained it all in the following Facebook post:…

As of this writing, Netflix has a very interesting film in particular that’s been trending as the number one movie on the massive streaming platform.

It appears that Joe Exotic is not doing too well, and he’s in fact been vigorously attempting to get a pardon from United States President Donald Trump. It’s all spelled out in a fascinating new letter he’s written while stuck in prison, where he’s currently been sentenced to stay for the next 22 years. While it’s unknown if Donald Trump actually would give away any type of pardon for Joe Exotic, it’s an interesting prospect nevertheless. Here’s a portion…

As all horror fans should hopefully know, the iconic Friday the 13th franchise didn’t always focus on its notorious mascot Jason Voorhees as the main antagonist. The original Friday the 13th film released in 1980 actually had Mrs. Voorhees as the main antagonist, as she was the mother of Jason Voorhees and sought revenge for his accidental drowning. A new fan theory, however, has suggested that Jason’s mother actually knew he was still alive even throughout the events of the original Friday the 13th film. Obviously the franchise doesn’t exactly have the greatest continuity, especially when you consider that a…

It’s easy to look at Hawkeye from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a quick glance and discard him from the rest of his fellow Avengers. After all, most of the superhero team is known for having either superpowers or incredibly advanced super technology. Whereas Hawkeye, well, he tends to stick with his bow and arrow. Interestingly, however, a new study suggests that Hawkeye might actually be the most valuable member of the Avengers.

The YouTube video, which you can view down below, was created by FullBelly Edits. The video was…
