The actor, who plays the adult version of Bill in the new movie, revealed the true extent of his mysterious injuries at Comic-Con. While he did make an Instagram post during production that he’d strained his thighs, it turns out that the injuries…

The horror genre has seen some hefty legal battles and issues in recent years. They’ve essentially locked away the Friday the 13th franchise, allowed MGM to remake Child’s Play, confused everyone about Miramax, and now 2017’s IT adaptation is caught up in the entanglement. Apparently, producers involved in the 1990 miniseries adaptation are trying for a share of the profit. The basis of the lawsuit is that the 1990 miniseries producers Frank Konigsberg and Larry Sanitsky were contractually entitled to be a part of any “sequel, series, remake, or spinoff” based on the 1990 miniseries. The duo filed the lawsuit…

Although the franchise has branched out into more fantastic efforts in recent years, The Conjuring was very much based on allegedly true case files from paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The two had investigated a Rhode Island farmhouse which was owned by the Perron family in 1971. The farmhouse was supposedly haunted by a woman named Bathsheba Sherman. Now its latest residents, a couple who recently bought it, (Cory and Jennifer Heinzen) claim that the farmhouse is indeed still haunted, and that they intend to open the house up to the public. More specifically, “They hope to fix it…

Because the series reaches such a vast amount of fans with every installment, many viewers have made it a point to emphasize the importance of inclusion.

Now it seems to prevent that from…
