The Castle Rock series coming to Hulu is one of the most anticipated Stephen King projects coming out. What separates it from other adaptations of King’s works is that this actually takes place within King’s story universe. As it was described, it will “combine the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.” The new trailer itself is actually very enticing. The footage really builds the titular Castle Rock up as an eerie, horrifying place. I can’t help but think…

The Conjuring franchise is one that’s relatively new and continues to grow with each passing year. While there’s only four films to the series so far, there are plenty more in production – with The Nun set to premiere this year. While there’s yet to be any official trailers released, a small bit of footage was shown at CinemaCon – with terrifying results. Producer James Wan alongside Director Corin Hardy presented the footage and explained a bit about the film’s production backstory. While the movie is still a large part of the overall Conjuring experience, the influences are a bit…
It’s been truly fascinating to watch The Meg evolve over the course of its production history. While the film is based on a fairly serious novel, titled simply Meg, that seems to be the best way to sum up the connections. The movie obviously takes things in a more extravagant, campier area, with a focus on blockbuster action and thrills. The trailers and promotional material have all taken a self-aware perspective regarding the titular shark. If it’s not making light of how incredibly large it is compared to your average Great White, then it’s making fun of all the helpless…
The internet as well as Evil Dead fanbase has been in an uproar since the cancellation of Ash vs. Evil Dead. While many are fighting to see the show renewed or revived as a Netflix Original Series, it seems increasingly hopeless as time goes on. Ash Williams himself, Bruce Campbell, is even claiming that he’ll be retiring from the role. Big props to fans for the effort, but I’m retired as Ash. #timetofrysomeotherfish https://t.co/Di1aeBV0dl — Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) April 23, 2018 It’s actually a pretty heartbreaking thing to hear. As if the fight has gone out of Bruce to keep…
While Ash vs. Evil Dead is officially cancelled, the series’ fourth season was still being developed up until the official announcement. And, according to a source from Bloody-Disgusting, the new story was going to be huge. Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell were planning to send Ash into the future apocalypse – something that we only had a taste of in the alternate ending for Army of Darkness. It reportedly would’ve been like a mix between Fallout and Mad Max, with demons and robots alike roaming the wasteland. It’s unfortunate this never happened, because this is personally something I…
One element that makes Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie one of the most anticipated productions of the year, is John Carpenter’s involvement! Carpenter was announced to be executive producing the film and working as a creative consultant from the very beginning. And considering he’s strayed away from the franchise ever since Halloween III: Season of the Witch, it’s become every fan’s dream to see him return to the series. Of course, it also was hinted that Carpenter would be scoring the film as well. He worked on the musical compositions for each of the original three Halloween films, so having him…
Everyone has been demanding details for Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie, including how Laurie Strode fits into the picture. After all, it’s been 40 years, and considering she’s no longer Michael Myers’ sister – just how will the two meet up? While we still have no idea what sort of fate will throw the two back together, Jamie Lee Curtis has explained that the new movie is very similar to the original with her “granddaughter” taking her place. She explained it all in an interview with Yahoo! “And as soon as I read what David Green and Danny McBride had come…
Everyone has been thinking about killer clowns ever since Andy Muschietti’s IT movie adaptation hit theaters late last year. Now it seems like another clown horror film comes out every few months. We’ve had The Terrifier, the announcement of 3 From Hell with Captain Spaulding, and now Crepitus. What’s interesting about Crepitus, however, is that it stars genre actor Bill Moseley as the clown. An interesting twist, considering he’ll be starring alongside Sid Haig’s Captain Spaulding in the upcoming sequel to The Devil’s Rejects that we mentioned above. As always, we can expect Moseley to give the role his best…
The original Fright Night is quickly coming back in style. While the movie was remade in 2011, and again in 2015, it’s the original written and directed by Tom Holland that continues to be loved and referenced by fans. Holland understands this, and is actually writing a new sequel in the form of a novel because of it. Interestingly enough, however, we’re also getting a new comic series. There was once a short-lived series of comics launched in 1988 which were unfortunately canceled prematurely. Fans have been aching for more ever since, and Holland seems to have them covered. As…
A24 is best known for releasing films with large amounts of buzz and hype. Hereditary is only the latest film of this caliber, boasting a story that’s no doubt memorable and horrific. As you can see in the latest trailer below, they’re still pushing that aspect. The film also has a bit of a viral campaign going on, where you can visit an Etsy page which belongs to one of the main characters. The character being Charlie, “a girl with a penchant for arts & crafts that will haunt your nightmares.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNR58zaStE&feature=youtu.be It certainly sounds like nothing good will come…
