The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been built up immensely over the last decade, forming what the studio considers its “Infinity Saga”. The ultimate climax to this storyline began with last year’s Avengers: Infinity War and is preparing to end this year with Avengers: Endgame. The movie has been massively anticipated by fans for years, and yet no one truly knows how the story will play out. Marvel has done an excellent job at keeping promotional material spoiler-free, but that also means any new content that gets released can hold any number of new secrets or revelations for the beloved Marvel…

The Child’s Play franchise is getting a complete overhaul with a remake of the original film. Although the original version of the franchise is supposed to continue under the guise of a new television series, this new movie will bring the character of Chucky back to the big screen. Now not only will the character be voiced by iconic voice actor Mark Hamill, but the film is slated to be “intense, gory, and R-rated.” Some fans can obviously now breathe a sigh of relief on that one – but the film will feature a pretty big change to the iconic…

Although there’s plenty of Marvel movies suggested to be in active development, there are only two that are officially confirmed for an upcoming release – Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. While Endgame was widely believed to be the climactic finale of everything Marvel has created up to this point, it turns out that isn’t exactly the case. The news was broken by Marvel’s own Kevin Feige, who revealed that Spider-Man: Far From Home is the true finale to Marvel’s Phase 3. Feige made the reveal at a recent Shanghai-based fan event in which he said:  “It’s the end…

There was already enough issues preventing another Friday the 13th movie from being made in a timely manner. Now the franchise is locked in legal turmoil, where writer Victor Miller and current franchise owner Sean Cunningham continue to battle one another through the U.S. court system. As was previously reported, a judge did rule in favor of writer Victor Miller for the case. Sean Cunningham responded by appealing his decision. Although it seemed like he was going to settle soon after, given that he initially retracted his appeal for technical reasons, he ended up reinstating it before the deadline expiration…

Ed and Lorraine Warren were once the world’s most famous paranormal investigators. Although their work didn’t exactly fade away from the public eye, James Wan’s film The Conjuring launched their legacy into pop culture stardom.

One of horror’s most iconic villains happens to be Pinhead, originally played by actor Doug Bradley in Clive Barker’s 1987 film Hellraiser. He continued portraying the character up until 2005, when the direct-to-video film Hellraiser: Hellworld dropped franchise standards to a new low. Although Bradley quit playing the character, Dimension Films has continued pumping out Hellraiser “sequels” every few years so that they can keep the rights to the once successful franchise. While Dimension keeps implying they’ll eventually do some kind of Hellraiser reboot, and went as far as to getting Clive Barker to write the screenplay for one -…

A new live-action adaptation of the iconic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe franchise has gone off and on ever since the first adaptation was produced by Cannon Films in 1987. While the new movie will serve no connection to the initial adaptation, and instead focus on an entirely new continuity inspired by the toy lines and animated series, it looks like the film won’t be making its original 2019 release date. The new He-Man movie was first announced for a December 2019 release, and obviously since filming hasn’t even begun, Sony Pictures has moved the release window all…

The Child’s Play franchise has stayed relevant in pop culture ever since the original film premiered at the tail end of the 1980’s. And while most other horror franchises or slasher villains have already been remade or recast in some form since that marvelous decade, Child’s Play remained untouched. Until now. Orion has taken it upon themselves to update the Child’s Play franchise for modern audiences – and in doing so wiped away the voodoo subplots and character of Charles Lee Ray that made Chucky into an iconic slasher villain. Now the new movie has made Chucky into an animatronic…

Chris R. Notarile has written and directed a massive amount of fan films featuring horror’s biggest icons. He’s tackled everything from Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and of course Halloween. But now he’s taken it upon himself to reimagine the character of Michael Myers – and give him an all-new reign of terror in Myers: The Butcher of Haddonfield. It’s the first entry in what should be a new series of Michael Myers short films, and given the increased popularity of the character since 2018’s Halloween – it’s perfect timing. Check it out below: https://youtu.be/40yszV_MhAE The short…
