While many people have been trying to play along with the concept, others have chosen to ignore social distancing altogether.

It’s been nearly ten years since The Walking Dead first premiered on AMC, and the massive zombie series captivated viewers thanks to a stunning performance by actor Andrew Lincoln who brought to life comic book character Rick Grimes. His performance as Rick Grimes was one of the main reasons audience members tuned into the show, and although it seemed unlikely he’d be one of the unfortunate characters to be killed off, his character was ultimately written off in 2018.

In fact, it becomes incredibly similar when you think about the massive amount of people in self-quarantine that’s rendered commonly busy cityscapes something of barren wastelands. It definitely looks like something out of a horror movie or show. Now amidst…

Guardians of the Galaxy made an interesting twist towards the end of the film, where the character Groot sacrificed himself for the other Guardians. While that version of Groot has since been left out of future Marvel films, his “offspring” has managed to take his place. Beginning in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, fans were given a chance to see what a younger version of Groot would be like with Baby Groot. By the time more recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films came around, Groot started to grow a bit older and closer to the age he was in the…

We’re at a time when fans are desperate for the return of some of the horror genre’s biggest icons, and that includes Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The franchise has been dormant ever since the release of the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and it’s been difficult to determine where the franchise could go after that film flopped and Robert Englund seemingly retired from the role. Nevertheless, the property is now apparently back at the Wes Craven estate and star Robert Englund believes that they’ll be able to properly reboot the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise…

At this current stage of the Internet and the fan communities that inhabit its various domains, it’s become quite often now for horror fans to demonstrate their love of the genre with fan films. While fan films have almost always been a thing, it’s only been recently with the ease of modern digital technology that the quality of fan films has risen by quite a lot.

Among the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th, Wes Craven’s 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street is a notorious slasher film that’s been the basis for a multitude of sequels, reboots, and tie-in media.
