The Hellraiser franchise is notable for being extremely graphic and violent, with the glorification of pain being a major theme throughout the films. It seems the upcoming Hellraiser: Judgment is no different, as director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has stated on the Movie Crypt podcast. In fact, Tunnicliffe has revealed quite a few people walked off the set of the film just to get away from its gruesome imagery. And one actress nearly passed out from the extremity of the gore: “We did two sequences where… one, the actress almost passed out… a scene that you especially, Adam… you are going…

It turns out that there was an Easter egg connection between The Goonies and Jurassic Park that took almost 25 years for anyone to discover. Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park eight years after he produced The Goonies which was based on a story idea of his own. Now a new theory has come around suggesting that Spielberg may have in fact placed a few Easter eggs from the 1985 hit The Goonies in his dinosaur extravaganza. A user on Reddit by the name Shadewfb brought up the possibility, and the Internet has been freaking out about it ever since. The…

There still hasn’t been any update on casting regarding the sequel to this year’s IT movie adaptation, IT: Chapter 2. We do have plenty of names being thrown around, however, one of which belongs to Jessica Chastain. It makes sense that Chastain could play a grown Beverly in the film, as she does resemble young actress Sophia Lillis, and even worked with director Andy Muschietti previously on his film Mama. In an interview with Screen Rant, Chastain explained how much she loved the idea. “Well, I love Andy and Barbara,” Chastain told the site. “I worked with them on Andy’s…

While we managed to get an Easter egg for Beta Ray Bill in Thor: Ragnarok, it turns out he once played a much larger role in the film. And thanks to a new interview with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, we now know why! Originally, Feige stated that Beta Ray Bill simply did not work as a large enough character to fit the role that the Hulk was eventually used in. Now, Feige has revealed to Crave Online that they almost decided on a separate and smaller role for the character. “There was a Beta Ray Bill, but it was so…

While DC is playing catch-up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans have been interested in seeing the two film franchises clash in a potential Marvel DC crossover.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is easily one of the most beloved entries in the Elm Street franchise. It not only launched Freddy Krueger as the ultimate horror pop culture icon, but pushed the boundaries for the horror genre by implementing cutting edge effects and well-written characters. And it’s just recently passed the point of being 30 years old! With Dream Warriors reaching such an important anniversary date, a variety of cast members from the film reunited at New Jersey’s Chiller Theatre convention just before Halloween weekend. The group decided to recreate one of the most iconic…

Apparently the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, Thor: Ragnarok, has a secret crossover with DC’s Green Lantern. And it all starts with a Shake Weight. Before Taika Waititi got the chance to direct the latest Thor sequel, he had previously acted in Warner Bros.’ 2011 Green Lantern movie adaptation. And now it turns out that he brought something to Thor from that very production. There’s a point in the film where Karl Urban’s character Skurge is bragging about his collection of trophies from Earth. One of these just so happens to be a Shake Weight – according to Fandango: “The…

John Carpenter’s 1978 film Halloween was one of the most groundbreaking films released under the horror genre. It took elements from several decades before it and combined them together to create a new genre of terror – the slasher film, to be exact. And it managed to launch its antagonist Michael Myers aka the Shape into the consciousness of moviegoers everywhere. A sequel titled Halloween II was released in 1981, attempting to meet the expectations of fans after the success of the original and its copycats (Friday the 13th being a popular one). Although it was met with a mid…
