While the release for IT draws even nearer, one theater chain is decidedly making the release even more special. They intend to hold a special screening for the film that will only allow clowns! The Alamo Drafthouse will host the screening, at their Austin, Texas Mueller location on September 9th. Here’s how they’ve described the screening, which you will be restricted from joining if you’re not in costume: “For this special screening of IT, all attendees should arrive dressed as a clown in order to attend. Please arrive early and join us in the Barrel O’ Fun beginning at 5:30pm…

There’s a new report that suggests the death of a stuntwoman who died during the production of Deadpool 2 could’ve been prevented. The woman was 40-year-old Joi “SJ” Harris, who died while performing an action scene as Zazie Beetz’ Domino character. She died on the scene and production on the film was immediately shutdown. Although she happened to be an experienced driver, the scene was her first stunt work in a film, and she died during the first take. Now THR is reporting that crew members had tried warning the film’s producers about Harris, who they felt was too inexperienced.…

In the 1980s we were gifted with eight Friday the 13th films. In the near decade since the 2009 remake, we’ve received nothing. It’s a shame considering how easy it would be to continue the franchise and how little effort anyone has put into it. Hannibal writer Nick Antosca, however, was one of the few driving forces to getting the franchise going again before he was detached from the eventually-canceled reboot. And now he’s revealed some rather interesting details regarding what would’ve been featured in his version. He explained that the draft of his we all know about was in…

Stephen King’s novel IT is finally getting an adaptation worthy of the name. But what’s interesting is that the author himself had no involvement with the film’s production. Now director Andy Muschietti has explained in an interview with Collider on just why that is: “I’m very happy making an adaptation, my interpretation of the story, and I would be thrilled to meet Stephen King, but there comes a time in the process where you start feeling good with your interpretation of it, and your contribution to the story, and it doesn’t feel like I want to discuss my ideas with…

Although the horror genre has produced some incredibly large franchises, it hasn’t had as much luck in crossing them over. The best recent examples of crossovers would have to be Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator – and both of those were well over ten years ago. But now Child’s Play series creator Don Mancini has voiced his desire to bring together infamous killer doll Chucky with dream stalker Freddy Krueger. Mancini has kept the franchise alive through decades of genre changes and tropes, and although it may be direct-to-video at this point, Chucky is still stronger than ever.…

While the upcoming Justice League film is starting to wrap up its production, some fans are wondering whether or not original director Zack Snyder will return to the film in some capacity. As we all know he had stepped back from shooting due to personal reasons, and director Joss Whedon was brought onboard to oversee and finish the production. This initial curiosity formulated from a series of articles leading back to a post on r/DCEULeaks from poster WBUT7 via Screen Rant: “There have been rumors around the office and around the levels that Zack Snyder will soon return to finish…

While we don’t have any idea what the story for the next season of American Horror Story is, we do have a look now at the season’s intro. And it’s as stylistically creepy and intricate as ever. But of course the video doesn’t give many plot hints as much as it does imagery regarding the season’s tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0csnVQ0ZKA There’s plenty of clowns, as noted in the other promos for season 7. The video also makes a political statement with figures wearing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton masks. There’s even a blood-drenched flag and plenty of bees. Series regulars Evan Peters…

It looks like all of the Chuck E. Cheese restaurants are getting with the times – and that means getting rid of the animatronic bands. CBS News is the one to report the removal of all bands, which will begin with select locations before erasing them altogether. This will also include toning down some of the colors of the restaurants. Chuck E. Cheese Chief Executive Tom Leverton has explained why, insisting that he wants to create a “modernized experience”. This will include a dance floor that will allow kids to party with costumed individuals. “It’s the biggest thing we’ve done…

Derrick Jones is a physically handicapped Metallica fan who traveled seven hours to the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, AB so that he could see the band’s August 16th live performance. Unfortunately he was unable to see it at all. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/6u91lu/my_view_of_metallica_from_the_handicapped_section/?ref=share&ref_source=embed&utm_content=title&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_name=036fb03b7ab84872a9b3515a5e542817&utm_source=embedly&utm_term=6u91lu Jones is confined to a wheelchair given his Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Naturally, he sought for wheelchair-accessible seating, but still had his view obscured by a group of fans standing in front of him. And even an usher on the venue refused to offer help in the situation. Later on, Jones spoke to the CBC and explained that although other wheelchair-accessible…

As we all know, Stephen King’s novel IT was previously adapted as a miniseries in 1990. The television event became a big staple in the horror community for fans, and that’s part of why Andy Muschietti’s upcoming adaptation is so hotly anticipated. But it turns out the director “wasn’t a big fan” of the original adaptation. The director explained all of this in an interview with SFX Magazine: “To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of the miniseries. I was not a child anymore when it came out in 1990. So my attachment was very much to the book…
