It goes without saying that one of the most perfect, nearly guaranteed ingredients for a successful cult classic is to include some kind of killer doll or toy. Charles Band sure learned this with a variety of films like Dolls, Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, Blood Dolls, and more. One also doesn’t need to look any further than Child’s Play and its sequels to see just how successful the concept can be with mainstream audiences. And who can forget those other obscure little rip-offs like Dolly Dearest and Pinocchio’s Revenge? Well, now it seems a new killer toy can be added…

It goes without saying that The Last of Us Part 2, otherwise known as The Last of Us 2, was an incredibly anticipated followup to The Last of Us, and this goes a step further considering how positively critics were reacting to the game. While things were looking good at first following the game’s launch, it turns out that’s not the case. In fact, many video games fans that played The Last of Us Part 2 have turned against the game – viciously tearing it apart on its own associated subreddit, r/TheLastOfUs2. It’s been an interesting time to follow the…
Many audiences have been excited for HBO Max so that they could watch South Park, no doubt one of the most popular adult animated shows to exist. However, it also happens to be one of the most controversial animated shows to have existed as well – or controversial in general, for that matter. Especially when South Park featured Islam’s Prophet Muhammad in a season 14 episode of the show. Now it appears that that particular episode from South Park, along with four others, will be removed from HBO Max. It isn’t too surprising, considering that the season 14 episode of…
It shouldn’t be surprising that fans would want Kevin Bacon to have a chance at playing popular A Nightmare on Elm Street antagonist Freddy Krueger. The legendary cinematic villain became a pop culture icon after his first theatrical appearance in 1984, beginning with Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.

As such, it was difficult to see Robert Englund leave the role due to his increasing age – a move that, along with the remake trend, led to…

The brothers are also responsible for having written and produced the film, as well as creating its tremendous special effects. But what else could you expect from the effects artists behind the original four films of the Critters franchise? What’s also worth mentioning, however, is that Killer Klowns From Outer Space actually has a super high kill count. While the film is only rated PG-13,…
