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.

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…

The lawsuit involving Johnny Depp and the Sun over the accusations made by Amber Heard has escalated to another interesting new level.

And after James took a gander at some of the legal documents being used during the…

Unfortunately as we all know, for Godzilla and King Kong fans alike, the upcoming MonsterVerse crossover Godzilla vs. Kong has been delayed until 2021.

Nevertheless, the occasional image or sneak peek has leaked here and there, and now it appears to have happened yet again. As you can see down below, the images come from a variety of new toy pictures. What’s more, they also give us our first look at one of the…

It goes without saying that the novel IT is easily one of the most iconic works that horror author Stephen King has ever published. A large part of that is due to the iconography of the novel’s titular creature, which generally takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. The book has been famously adapted as both a 1990 miniseries and two films, the first of which was released in 2017 and the other in 2019. Interestingly, in all versions of IT, Pennywise is shown either holding or standing near bunches of balloons. In the film adaptations, however, the balloons…

As we all know by now, the Coronavirus pandemic has had a massive impact on the entertainment industry. Many film and television productions were forced to shut down in an effort to maintain social distancing. Likewise, movie theaters and other such public places of business had to enforce social distancing guidelines and were forced to similarly shut down. This has had a dire effect on the industry as a whole, with many productions and releases being pushed back into 2021 if not released digitally. Obviously Disney was especially effected by this, considering the vast amount of films they were hoping…

The Home Alone franchise has somehow managed to survive for a variety of direct-to-video films after actor Macauley Culkin decided to leave the series following Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The franchise was recently acquired by Disney when they absorbed Fox into their already-massive library, and now work has progressed on a Home Alone reboot that’s intended to air on Disney’s streaming service, Disney Plus. While there aren’t too many details available yet regarding the new entry into the Home Alone franchise, we do have some interesting cast announcements for the reboot. According to some new reports, via ComicBook,…

The Child’s Play franchise has shown its ability to adapt and change with the times ever since the first film was released in 1988. We’ve gotten the original trilogy in which all three films closely followed the same formula. Bride of Chucky spiced things up in 1998 for the franchise’s tenth anniversary when they introduced secondary antagonist Tiffany Valentine, alongside a dose of self-referential humor inspired by the success of Scream. Seed of Chucky nearly took that humor too far, and the course was corrected with Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky years later via two direct-to-video continuations. Now…

One could compare the ocean to outer space, considering the vast amounts of both areas that remain to be explored. And although we haven’t yet discovered life in the outer regions of space, humanity has frequently discovered new types of life under the ocean. Sometimes it might even resemble cinema’s greatest interpretations of aliens. This is one of those cases – as scientists have discovered a new type of sponge that eerily resembles the alien from the beloved movie, E.T. The underwater sea creatures are actually a type of sponge, one which was initially discovered in 2016. They were labeled…
