Pinhead vs. Michael, place your bets. At the time of Freddy vs. Jason, there was another crossover in the making, and unfortunately (or maybe it’s a good thing) we never got to see it come to fruition. The film would’ve seen icons Pinhead from Hellraiser and Michael Myers from Halloween come face to face. Doug Bradley, known for playing Pinhead in the first 8 Hellraiser movies, recently discussed the unfinished crossover film. “I was told that the year before Freddy vs Jason was released, Dimension Films rejected two scripts for a Hellraiser-Halloween crossover, which was obviously where they would go…

Starring Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Abbie Cornish, and Marley Shelton, the movie Solace is set to focus on a doctor with psychic powers who helps police to track down a serial killer. The film, directed by Afonso Poyart, was also once intended to be a sequel to David Finicher’s hit film Se7en! The synopsis reads: When FBI Special Agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is unable to solve a series of homicides, he decides to enlist the help of his former colleague Dr. John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), a retired physician with psychic powers. The reclusive Clancy, who…

Have you ever wanted to see a followup to 2003’s Freddy vs Jason? Perhaps a film with more characters, and even more bloodshed? That’s what horror fan Antonio Maria Da Silva has created; and man, is it awesome! At 14 minutes, the short film uses cleverly edited scenes and video manipulation from an endless number of classic horror films. You get sequences as cool as Jason Voorhees fighting Michael Myers, and an especially cool black-and-white scene featuring Norman Bates. Anything goes in this video, and I can’t help but wish it were real. Why hasn’t someone done this yet? An…

Throughout the rest of this year and early into the next, Image Comics will be releasing a 48 page prequel detailing the backstory of The Walking Dead’s most popular villain: Negan. So far, the series ‘Here’s Negan’ has seen a total of 3 issues released, totaling for 12 pages. POTENTIAL COMIC SPOILERS FOLLOW! The first 4 of which reveal Negan to have been a high school gym teacher who’d invite his students over to play ping pong in his garage. It results in Negan embarrassing one of the students before his wife decides to criticize his actions. The issue ends…

Bret Easton Ellis, author of the popular novel American Psycho, recently revealed how little the executives at Warner Bros. actually cared about the script for the upcoming Batman film. Well, now it seems he’s taking all of that back. He decided to reiterate what he said about the film and explained he only meant to describe the effect international audiences make on domestic films. He didn’t intend for it to become news about Batman. “The two executives I was having dinner with were relating the problems they had heard about the script from people working on the Batman project—that’s all.…

What if The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad were connected, like some kind of convoluted Marvel storyline that results in the minds of millions being blown away at the end? Most people would deny that these shows have any connection, that they’re far too different to be the same universe. But Netflix does a pretty good job at proving otherwise. What’s especially interesting is the specific coincidences, or rather connections, used in either series. One instance is that Walter’s blue meth from Breaking Bad is found on Merle in The Walking Dead. The connections don’t end there, however, and you…

Mel Gibson, whose career started with his 1979 breakthrough role in George Miller’s Mad Max, happens to have a spectacular eye for action. And this eye has carried over with his return to directing, in the form of 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge. And George Miller has similarly proven he still has an eye for action with the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road. The film, featuring an all-new cast, has made a lot of fans of the franchise curious to hear what Gibson has to say. And now we know. Calling the editing work “stunning”, he went on to say this…

Although the season 7 premiere for Game of Thrones is still several months away, the plot for the entire season has online. Despite not having been officially confirmed, there is still an abundance of behind the scenes photos and videos that seem to add up with the plot details. The information stems from the Free Folk subreddit, which is a subreddit that has revealed several other accurate, albeit not perfect, details in the past. Check them out below: Daenerys and her crew finally arrive at Dragonstone, where her ancestors first landed before conquering Westeros. She summons the lords of Westeros…

Almost a week has past since Jeffrey Dean Morgan decided to introduce not one but two The Walking Dead stars to his bat Lucille. However, most fans of Supernatural remember him as the father of Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural. There he played a character with good intentions and a good heart; the complete antithesis of Negan, his character from The Walking Dead. This quickly resulted in dozens of crossover memes between the two shows, but star Jensen Ackles from Supernatural decided to add fuel to the fire with his own Instagram posts featuring a barbed-wire-covered bat. And, adding…

The 2011 prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing has been one of the biggest disappointments in recent years. Its 1982 counterpart had so much potential for a prequel, and although the filmmakers tried their best to pay attention to detail, they failed in one major aspect. The practical effects had all been replaced by CGI. Horror fans in general have a distaste for CGI, so why the studio thought it was a good idea to replace all the practical effects with it makes no sense to me. Especially when you consider how notorious Carpenter’s version was for utilizing practical effects…
