One of the most interesting aspects about the ghost hunting subgenre that airs on television is how there never seems to be black or white evidence regarding the existence of the supernatural. Now in a new press release for the upcoming second season of A&E’s Ghost Hunters television series, it appears that there will in fact be some kind of “indisputable” evidence on the Ghost Hunters series that the supernatural really does exist. While that does seem like a pretty massive claim to make, it still sounds incredibly interesting to see what exactly it is they’re referring to. Here’s the…

One of the most important and incredible eras the horror genre had to offer was during Universal’s cycle of iconic monster movies.

One of the most popular film franchises still to this day is the Planet of the Apes series, which recently spawned a rather successful trilogy of films. The three movies – Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes – were all produced under Fox before the company was sold to Disney. Obviously such a major franchise would be of great importance to Disney as they’d be eager to make back money on their investment – and indeed plans were announced to reboot Planet of the…

It’s very unclear what state the Friday the 13th franchise is in. Unfortunately for fans of the iconic series of violent slasher movies, the Friday the 13th title has been the subject of various lawsuits between original screenwriter Victor Miller and Sean Cunningham & Horror Inc.

But now things are getting even more fascinating, as it seems the upcoming films Morbius and Venom 2 – based on villains from the Spider-Man comics – are connecting with the heroic webslinger and the MCU as well. It was previously unexpected…

At a time when the classic works of John Carpenter continue to be an influential part of pop culture, it comes as no surprise that his iconic film Escape from New York has been targeted for the reboot craze.
