The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been an incredibly popular and successful series of films for Disney. In fact, those films were boosting their live-action Hollywood credibility way before they got their hands on Marvel. And although the Pirates of the Caribbean films aren’t released quite as quickly as Disney’s Marvel films, there’s always been a new movie out every few years or so since 2003. Now this begs the question: what about Pirates of the Caribbean 6 – and, better yet, will actor Johnny Depp be reprising his role as Jack Sparrow? Things have certainly been unclear on…

The Halloween horror film franchise is loaded with different continuities, backstories, and bizarre twists that make even the most diehard of fans shake their heads at times. One of the most interesting elements that seems to be almost constantly changed around per film is Michael Myers’ immortality, and more specifically, his apparently immunity to pain. As you will notice upon watching even John Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween film, Michael Myers is seemingly immune to pain which would otherwise incapacitate or even kill normal individuals. This has prompted several different explanations throughout the franchise, and even more fan theories outside of…

As an added bonus, many fans of the franchise were pleased when a Purge television series premiered on the USA Network. It seems, however, that the popular Purge series has now been canceled after receiving only two seasons. According to Deadline, who broke the news about the series being canceled, The Purge was canceled along with Treadstone. Apparently they were simply both too expensive to keep going. Here are the reasons they…

Many horror fans have recently become aware over the years of the house which inspired The Conjuring.

While the horror genre exploded in the 1980’s in a variety of ways, it’s perhaps the little monster movies that are sometimes best remembered. It’s no doubt Gremlins was the first of these – but it was Ghoulies that proved just how successful the template could be for other filmmakers. In fact, it would be Ghoulies that’d even spawn more movies than Gremlins did. While Gremlins has to date only received one sequel, it was Ghoulies that was quickly followed up by Ghoulies II in 1988, Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College in 1991, and finally Ghoulies IV in 1994.…

It isn’t a surprise for readers of the original DC Comics that character John Constantine is in fact bisexual. Of course, this was something that was never quite addressed in the initial live-action series titled Constantine. While that show was canceled a little too quickly to explore Matt Ryan’s interpretation of the character, at least in regards to being bisexual like his comic book counterpart, his recent appearances have been making up for it. In fact, his appearance in Legends of Tomorrow supports the fact that John Constantine is bisexual – and now Justice League Dark: Apokolips War confirms that…
