Stephen King’s novel Pet Sematary has been a massive landmark in the author’s bibliography since its publication. Although he has an endlessly wide variety of horror stories, perhaps none are so personal or philosophical than Pet Sematary. Because of this, his opinion goes a long way, and although the story was previously adapted in 1989 – it’s this new interpretation that fans want to hear his thoughts on. Because we already know the twist that this film makes against its source material – Ellie dies rather than her baby brother Gage – it’s become a huge topic of discussion among…

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the history of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy lately. This is not only due to Netflix’s successful documentary series “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” directed by Joe Berlinger, but also Berlinger’s upcoming film on the subject. His movie, titled Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, is taking a unique twist from past Bundy flicks by casting former Disney star Zac Efron in the role of Bundy. As these risky choices with movies would sometimes have it, Efron looks like he’s doing a perfect job at taking on the role of…

And unfortunately for Ally, she happens to be around in a time…

The Conjuring was a lucky hit in 2013 – and it continues to work magic for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

Paul Hyett is becoming a common name in the indie horror market. He previously directed a unique horror movie in 2015 titled Howl, placing a passenger train in a very dangerous situation – one concerning a bloodthirsty werewolf. Now he’s back to introduce another horror film to the everlasting genre. This time the movie is titled The Convent.

Alvin Schwartz’ Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series has terrified readers ever since the first book was published way back in 1981. The creepy illustrations drawn by Stephen Gammell were a large reason why, as their horrific depictions of monsters and gore have haunted kids for decades now. And although newer releases of the books have changed the artwork, it looks like the new movie is going back to its roots. While we did get some spots at the Super Bowl, this first official trailer gives a much better idea of the movie. As you can see in…

The fans of Stephen King’s iconically classic horror novel Pet Sematary are eagerly awaiting the newest adaptation from Paramount. And to raise the hype factor even more, they’re now releasing new clips from the movie. One such scene shows a key moment when Louis Creed comes across Church, his unfortunately resurrected cat, and it gives a sinister vibe all throughout. In the original novel, Church was the first being to be resurrected in the Micmac Burial Ground by Louis. As such, it sets the stage for things to come, both narratively and via foreshadowing. Those familiar with the book and…

The announcement that Get Out and Us director Jordan Peele would be producing a reboot of the Candyman franchise was immediately well-received by fans. It was not only exciting to see such a high-profile name attached to the project, but it was also reported to be a sequel of sorts – and that meant the possibility of Tony Todd returning. And who could say no to the thought of Tony Todd once again playing the sinister Candyman figure? It was then reported that Tony Todd would in fact not be involved, and that an actor was already being eyed to…

While the original adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary from 1989 is still deeply beloved, the upcoming remake from Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer remains highly anticipated by fans. Especially after the great reviews it’s been getting. And much like the successful original movie quickly received a follow-up in 1992, it’s apparently likely the new movie will get a follow-up depending on how well it does. But unlike the original film, it looks as though this Pet Sematary would be getting a prequel. According to the film’s producer in a new interview, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, “I generally don’t start thinking…

Many kids who have grown up during 1980’s and 1990’s pop culture, or even modern kids that were influenced by it, are undoubtedly familiar with one of the most popular cult classic kids films around. The movie’s name is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and odds are it’s engraved in your memory thanks to its catchy theme song and beloved characters. But believe it or not, there may be one aspect of the film you probably haven’t noticed – and likely will never unsee again. In a very unsettling Twitter post from user Hooraydiation, they reminded Internet users of a major…
