One of the most popular horror film franchises of the 2010’s started with The Purge, a 2013 horror flick that spawned a massively successful series of theatrical sequels.

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…

Many comic book fans were initially excited to hear about Josh Boone’s The New Mutants. The movie was originally advertised as a horror styled spin-off of the X-Men franchise, something which many fans couldn’t wait to see. Unfortunately, although the movie was completed, it has simply been unable to get itself released. The flick was held back several times, only to receive a final release date for this past April.

It has been nearly ten years since the seasonal horror anthology series American Horror Story first premiered on television. Audiences instantly began comparing the unique series to the likes of Tales from the Crypt or even Tales from the Darkside, especially when considering each season tends to tell its own unique storyline. But now it appears fans might be getting an American Horror Story spin-off that’d be even more similar to the above mentioned shows, especially because each episode would be its own self-contained story rather than each season. The news was recently teased by American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy,…

Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox left many fans wondering what would become of the X-Men franchise. While it still seems obvious that the overall X-Men brand will slowly make its way into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe, that still doesn’t solve what will happen to some of Fox’s more violent X-Men-related properties. For example, Deadpool, which recently became an incredibly popular film franchise – albeit rated R – which doesn’t exactly fit in line with Disney’s current distribution of Marvel properties. Now, according to Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, Disney actually has “zero” plans for the beloved character. Rob Liefeld…
