One of the most cherished television series within the horror genre happens to be 1960’s soap opera Dark Shadows. The series was created by Dan Curtis, who horror fans may also recognize as the man behind Kolchak: The Night Stalker and Trilogy of Terror. Now it seems his classic series may be getting a revamp from The CW. According to Deadline, the new series will be titled Dark Shadows: Reincarnation. The hour-long pilot for Dark Shadows: Reincarnation was written by Mark B. Perry. “The re-imagined show will be a modern-day continuation of the strange, terrifying, and sexy saga of the…

One of the most anticipated comic book films of the year is the upcoming Joker movie. The movie is not only a major event for fans of DC and the iconic Batman villain, but it’s already been receiving near universal acclaim for those lucky enough to have already seen it. Of course, as these types of psychological films tend to do, there has been some controversy generated by the contents of the film. The upcoming Joker film is taking a unique twist with traditional Batman lore, by depicting Joker as a deranged maniac forged by the corruption of society in…

While the release of IT: Chapter 2 signifies the end of adapting Stephen King’s iconic novel IT, that doesn’t mean Warner Bros. couldn’t create new stories based within the established world. After all, both films have been unimaginably successful for the studio thus far – it’s almost silly not to imagine that a third film could be a possibility. Especially given the incredible lore and history behind Pennywise. While director Andy Muschietti recently hinted at the immense mythology they could mine for new stories, it seems Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgård himself is interested in the idea. In a new interview…

IT: Chapter 2, much like its predecessor, is full of Easter eggs and references that make the overall viewing experience so much more fun than the average horror film. One such Easter egg comes in the form of an awesome surprise cameo – from none other than IT author Stephen King himself! It’s not the first time that Stephen King has made an appearance in something based on his own work. But this cameo does mark a very special opportunity for Stephen King to have some extra fun and do a little more than the average “blink and you’ll miss…

One of the most beloved elements about the latest two IT films is that they’re not afraid to reference the original miniseries. While that was a great Easter egg for fans with IT: Chapter 1 when a Pennywise doll in the style of Tim Curry’s attire was shown, many have questioned what the second film would come up with. It turns out they went bigger and better – by bringing back an original cast member! Actor Brandon Crane, who once played the young Ben Hanscom in the 1990 miniseries, returned for a small cameo role in IT: Chapter 2. It…

In what sounds like a scene from a political Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel, a Swedish scientist recently brought up the suggestion of cannibalism in an effort to combat global climate change. Magnus Soderlund, a professor and researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics suggested the idea while speaking during a panel titled “Can You Imagine Eating Human Flesh?” at the Gastro Summit. According to Soderlund, “conservative” taboos against cannibalism could change over time, as long as we were to “awaken the idea.” In fact, Soderlund said he was already open to the idea of eating human flesh. “I feel somewhat…

The new sequel to IT: Chapter 1 is finally in theaters, and director Andy Muschietti made sure that IT: Chapter 2 was a relevant movie in regards to the current climate of the world. One such example of this apparently stems from the way he crafted Pennywise – the killer clown was actually partially inspired by real world leaders such as US President Donald Trump. Andy Muschietti explained that, “[Trump] does exactly what the clown does, you know? The clown is trying to divide the ‘Losers’ all the time, to turn them against them(selves) and make them weaker. That’s how…

There’s been a lot of controversy lately regarding the news that Sony and Marvel had a split regarding the Spider-Man character. While the two had previously joined forces to produce a new series of Spider-Man films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Tom Holland as Peter Parker, fans have been perplexed with how the franchises will continue with separate continuities. While there’s still a lot of debate and confusing going on with how the two companies will handle this issue, our Facebook page Marvel Fans, did hold a poll to test if audiences would be interested in a Spider-Man movie…

As the release date for the highly-anticipated Stephen King adaptation Doctor Sleep approaches, Warner Bros. has finally unleashed the final trailer for the upcoming film. The movie acts as a continuation and tribute to both the novel and film versions of The Shining, simultaneously bringing their separate styles together for one epic finale directed by Mike Flanagan. Doctor Sleep marks a truly unique take in that it both respects Stephen King’s original two novels but with the visual aesthetic of Stanley Kubrick who adapted The Shining back in 1980. Now with Mike Flanagan behind the camera, who is no stranger…

The internet’s horror fan community has been in an uproar since news was released that actor Sid Haig was in intensive care. The information regarding the incident was unspecified, but his wife Suzie had stated that Haig was placed into the ICU after some kind of accident. And although those issues remained undisclosed, Suzie did ask for our thoughts and prayers. Now the next day is here and there still isn’t much of an update on Sid Haig’s condition.
