It seems like there’s always some kind of Halo adaptation in the works, whether it’s live-action or some kind of animated project. The latest incarnation to adapt the world of Halo will be a live-action series for Showtime. The series was picked up for nine episodes, and is considered to be Showtime’s “most ambitious series ever.” They’ve also made a major statement not to be taken lightly, emphasizing that it will “enthrall fans while also drawing the uninitiated into a world of complex characters that populate this unique universe.” The series will take an interesting turn as it focuses largely…

Many horror and superhero fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Swamp Thing, a new television series from DC and Warner Bros. The series will see Derek Mears put on the monster suit (yes, actual practical effects!) and portray the iconic character in live-action for the first time since 1990 when the USA Network developed a Swamp Thing TV series based on Wes Craven’s 1982 film adaptation. Unfortunately, there was some upsetting news that the series’ initial 13 episode season was cut down to a shorter 10 episodes. The reason was not given other than “creative differences”, and it…

While the horror genre has always been a major and impactful part of cinematic history, the genre has also been subtly pushed away by mainstream Hollywood. Despite the genre giving us some of the biggest and most iconic filmmakers and cast members of all time, they’re rarely recognized or celebrated by the mainstream. But times are slowly changing and the genre is becoming more reputable and cherished. And to that extent, Nostalgic Nebula and HorrorPulse/FlatlineTV have made it a goal to get Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund himself his very own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Here’s their very…

Get Out and Us are seemingly having a massive effect on the modern horror genre, with more and more movies appearing to more boldly focus on social commentary and especially issues like race. The latest of which is a movie which actually stars Get Out’s Allison Williams, and it’s titled The Perfection. You can check out the trailer below: https://youtu.be/q57D6kF5B1k Now before you accuse the movie of trying to copy Jordan Peele’s first two horror movies – and yes, I’m aware that they’re not the first to focus on issues like race which go back to the horror genre’s beginnings…

The Conjuring Universe continues to expand, and expand, and just when you think it’s starting to come to a close – it expands some more. We’ve already been given two Annabelle movies with another titled Annabelle Comes Home arriving this year. Next year in 2020 we’ll have The Conjuring 3. And, somewhere else down the line, we should be expecting The Nun 2. But that leaves us with one announced movie that still hasn’t entered any kind of production – The Crooked Man. The Crooked Man was one of two characters from The Conjuring 2 that was slated to get…

Many pop culture fans have anxiously been awaiting the premiere of Disney’s latest attempt to dominate the media market – this time their very own streaming giant titled Disney Plus. The platform is set to compete against the likes of Hulu and Netflix, while being a unique and exclusive distribution outlet for various Disney properties. Despite being such a large and incredible project, very little has been formally announced – until now. The first slice of information is more of a possibility from executive Kevin Mayer – the idea that Disney+ could come with a discount. Disney actually owns most…

While the horror genre is full of vast and endless potential, there are always certain tropes that remain effective on even the most primal levels. This includes anything having to do with spiders, which most people just can’t seem to handle. Whether it’s due to their real world existence or the way movies can exaggerate their creepiness, it’s a sub-genre that has been exploited time and time again. And, naturally, another creepy crawly spider movie is being released – titled appropriately enough as Itsy Bitsy. Check out the trailer for it below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIKM6vEEwaI&feature=youtu.be The film was produced by Shout! Studios…

While American Horror Story has hit more than a few bumps on the road throughout its many seasons and incarnations, the series is still going strong. And although another main cast member – Evan Peters – has left the scene, it doesn’t show any signs for the series to be stopping. The next season has now been announced by Ryan Murphy who has revealed the title as American Horror Story: 1984. Check out the teaser below: View this post on Instagram AHS SEASON 9 is called… A post shared by Ryan Murphy (@mrrpmurphy) on Apr 10, 2019 at…

Although it’s not the first film to feature growing horror icon Art the Clown, Terrifier was inarguably his breakout film and one that’s already being given the franchise treatment. We already know that Terrifier writer and director Damien Leone started penning the sequel. But now Art actor David Howard Thornton is stating the plans go past that and into Terrifier 3. Here’s what he told The Barnshow Podcast: “Terrifier, the first one, establishes Art,” Thornton begins. “Now that we’ve established what Art is about, basically, we can start fleshing out the world around him and how he affects the world around…

Annabelle Comes Home makes a very interesting addition to both The Conjuring and Annabelle franchises. The movie goes back to its roots, with Ed and Lorraine Warren, and features the doll locked up at their house with all of the haunted artifacts they’ve collected and stored over the years. As we’ve learned from the trailer, however, a nosy babysitter decides to go into the room – and inadvertently wakes up every sleeping entity within. Now while Annabelle is the main star of the show, there’s clearly going to be room to introduce plenty of new demons and ghosts to feature.…
