The Marvel Cinematic Universe is well known for offering different variations of its beloved characters as they appear throughout the franchise. It’s a neat way of showing continuity while still being able to display new and fresh concepts as the movies are released in each phase. One great example is Groot, which after his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy became a baby that we gradually got to see grow older throughout the franchise. Another new appearance that was somewhat divisive for fans was Bro Thor aka Fat Thor in Avengers: Endgame. As it turns out, though, it looks like…

The spread of the Coronavirus has forced the worldwide economy into a rather bizarre state. Many people are struggling to stay at home under quarantine in an effort to stop the spread of the virus, and as a result non essential public places have been closed. Therefore, movie theaters have become a pretty major victim due to this – they’ve lost both customers then as well as their employees. And as it turns out, there might be some pretty big side effects of being closed down for so long. In particular, it looks like AMC Theatres could be filing for…

Horror author Stephen King helped create some of the most iconic genre villains and stories throughout his writing career. Perhaps one of his most iconic is ‘Salem’s Lot, a modern day vampire story published in 1975 which introduced the horrifying Kurt Barlow. The novel was successful enough to receive two miniseries adaptations, the first of which was directed by Tobe Hooper in 1979 and helped maintain Kurt Barlow’s memorable status as one of the vampire genre’s scariest creatures. Now ‘Salem’s Lot is being prepped for yet another adaptation – this time as a theatrical film being directed by Annabelle Comes…

It has been a rough time over the last few years for horror fans as a vast amount of beloved genre icons – ranging from filmmakers to cast members – have passed away. It appears that memorable actor Dieter Laser, perhaps best known for his two appearances in the Human Centipede franchise, is now unfortunately part of that list. It’s been reported that Dieter Laser had passed away several months ago on February 29, 2020. The German actor was a major player in the genre and became immediately iconic following his successfully disturbing performance as the evil Dr. Heiter in…

It’s been a long time since the Hellraiser franchise had an entry legitimately screened theatrically across the globe – not since Hellraiser IV: Bloodlines, to be exact. The franchise has since been stuck in a literal purgatory where Pinhead and his legion of Cenobites have been the subject of a seemingly endless line of disconnected direct-to-video “sequels”. But that’s all about to change. As previously reported, Spyglass Media is in the process of developing a Hellraiser reboot. Now we finally know that David Bruckner will direct the new Hellraiser film! The news that David Bruckner is attached to direct the…

At a time when Hollywood continues to churn out a variety of reboots and continuations to popular film franchises, it’s only a question as to when another Nightmare on Elm Street incarnation finally makes its way to fans.

Now original Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund himself has given his thoughts on the franchise’s future – and suggests…

As Friday the 13th franchise fans are well aware by this point, the series is stuck in a sort of legal purgatory. Although there doesn’t seem to be anything official going on in terms of new movies coming soon, at least not until the lawsuit between Victor Miller and Sean Cunningham comes to a close, fans have still been keeping the franchise alive and relevant. One such way is actually a very creative and fun one – as it turns out, Gemini Crow Hot Sauce has come out with a new series of Jason Voorhees inspired hot sauces. Now it…

It was first popularized mostly by actor Tom Holland, best known for his appearances as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Although everyone has still been stuck inside due to the quarantine, especially now that mostly everything else in the world that isn’t considered essential seems to be closed – including movie theaters.
