It seems that most horror fans have had a chance to check out the latest Hellraiser installment, Hellraiser: Judgment, and give in their two cents. Although it isn’t the back-to-basics direct sequel or even the reboot that most fans were hoping for, it does offer some new ideas for a franchise that many feel died a long time ago. One of the most interesting things about the film is how incredibly bizarre it manages to be at times. But apparently there was one scene Dimension Films just couldn’t handle being in the movie, and forced the filmmakers to completely tone…

Fangoria Magazine is slowly crawling back to life, not unlike the zombies many of its issues featured on their front covers. The popular horror brand has been acquired by Cinestate, who intend to bring the publication back as a quarterly as well as a way to produce new movies and podcasts. According to THR, the magazine was signed over to Cinestate CEO Dallas Sonnier from old publisher Thomas DeFeo. Cinestate now has complete control over Fangoria and all of its past issues, spanning over 39 years of horror content. Phil Nobile Jr., best known for the website birth.movies.death, has been…

Jason X is only one of multiple black sheep in the Friday the 13th franchise. While some of the sequels are targeted for deceptively taking place mostly on boats, or following body-hopping worm demons, Jason X gets trashed for taking place in outer space. Sure, it isn’t the first thing you think would get made when watching the original 1980 film starring Betsy Palmer – but I’ll give the filmmakers props for trying to come up with something different. Granted, all the fans really wanted was some continuity and to revisit the franchise’s roots, but at least they managed to…

One of the biggest draws for the Halloween franchise happens to be the return of original star Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s always felt like a special treat getting to see her in a slasher movie; and to see her return alongside John Carpenter and original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle in an all-new Halloween movie is way more than special. In fact, perhaps a more appropriate term would be miracle – after all, who would’ve expected this after the release of Rob Zombie’s Halloween? Or even after the release of Halloween: Resurrection? With that said, we’re getting closer to seeing…

Now that we’ve recently been given the latest sequel in the Hellraiser franchise, Hellraiser: Judgment, director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has spoken out about the series’ direct-to-video status and how he blames Scream for it. As most fans know, the Hellraiser franchise has been abused and mistreated early on in its series. The third film, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth was the start of this. It was the first movie Dimension produced for the franchise, and it marked their attempt to turn Pinhead into a mainstream slasher villain like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t go as Dimension…

The new IT movie adaptation from 2017 somehow managed to become just as iconic as the original 1990 miniseries for modern audiences. As such, Pennywise has been recreated, parodied, and cosplayed on what seems to be a daily basis. But what you’re about to see is unlike anything that’s been done so far. The doll was recently sold in an eBay auction for a whopping $500; it was constructed by Amanda Morrow based on a sculpt from Laura Tuzio Ross. Morrow explained that the doll was “a hand made item”, and went on to describe it in detail. “It is constructed…

There seems to be no end in sight for the highly-popular Conjuring franchise. The films have seen a huge success since James Wan’s first installment came out in 2013, and Warner Bros. has been sure to milk every last drop of that success over the years, and that won’t stop with The Nun – though it will have a delayed release date. The first spin-off, Annabelle, premiered in 2014. It received a lukewarm reaction from fans and critics but still managed to become a financial success like its predecessor. Next we got The Conjuring 2, a direct sequel to the…

We’ve already gotten a variety of behind-the-scenes photos for Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie. This included a look at Jamie Lee Curtis once more returning to the Laurie Strode role, albeit forty years later. Now Curtis has shared the first official promotional image from the film once again featuring her in the role of Laurie. Set self portrait of Laurie Strode 2018. A survivor and a protector. @halloweenmovie #halloweenmovie A post shared by Jamie Lee Curtis (@curtisleejamie) on Feb 12, 2018 at 4:56am PST She really does capture the style and look of Laurie as she appeared in 1978, even if…

It’s been awhile since we heard anything regarding Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation. But according to Deadline, the wheels are finally moving, with Christopher Columbus set to write, direct, and produce the film! According to the report: Chris Columbus has signed on to write, direct and produce Blumhouse’s screen adaptation of Scott Cawthon’s popular video game Five Nights at Freddy’s, which centers on a security guard battling animatronic robots that come to life in a Chuck E. Cheese-like venue. Columbus has quite a history in Hollywood with writing and directing. He previously directed the first two Harry Potter…

It was revealed last year that filmmaker Tom Holland had started work on a Fright Night 3 in the form of a novel. And while there still hasn’t been any news on the book’s release, Holland has spoken up about a listing for the novel on Amazon. According to him, it’s not legitimate. “The Amazon page offering Fright Night 3 the novel is a complete farce,” Holland tweeted. “I’ve been getting many messages lately because according to the page the release is coming up. Sorry all but that page is NOT me. I’m still writing the book and loving every minute.”…
