It isn’t any surprise that The Conjuring became one of the biggest horror films of the 2010’s. With James Wan directing, it was almost always a guaranteed hit. But it’s still been surprising to see just how strongly the rest of the franchise took off. For example, while Insidious is still unlikely to even get a fifth film, The Conjuring has already had six continuations including spin-offs, with another direct sequel titled The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It on the way. Obviously with so many movies, there’s a relatively endless number of scares and villains featured across the…

Many fans of Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit have been looking forward to Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings series.

The news was apparently revealed during this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con@Home, along with information confirming that it will be one of the largest television productions…

Because of an endless number of delays, there are still very few official glimpses into the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong film. While audiences still unfortunately have to wait until 2021 before they can finally see the new movie, which also means even longer before we can get some kind of trailer, there have been some exciting glimpses given via leaked toys. And one of the leaked toys has indirectly revealed a new monster for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong film that might just bring the end of civilization. As you can see in the images below, one of the toy…

It may be hard to believe or remember, but at one point in time we almost never received any kind of Deadpool movie from Fox. The studio initially feared that audiences wouldn’t resonate with the character, and that the R-rating would keep the film from being a box office success like previous PG-13 X-Men films. Obviously we know otherwise now, but at the time, things seemed pretty bleak for Deadpool. That was, at least, until test footage created for the proposed Deadpool movie was mysteriously leaked, footage which hyped up audiences enough to push the studio into finally giving the…

The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has been a fascinating and disappointing addition to 2020. On one hand, it’s forced a creative new way of living for many people – and as a result has pushed things like streaming, working from home, and other alternatives into the mainstream. But the disappointing part stems from the fact these things have only happened because of social distancing and having to endure a worldwide pandemic. And with that said, it looks like Halloween will be taking a massive hit due to the pandemic as well – for example, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights has been cancelled…

It appears that Ellen DeGeneres is the latest celebrity being targeted over allegations of misconduct, this time including reports from a wide variety of staff members and other individuals who’ve worked with DeGeneres or on her show. In fact, these allegations have now led to an internal investigation from WarnerMedia regarding The Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to Variety, who’ve reported that the investigation was taking place: “Executives from show producer Telepictures and distributor Warner Bros. Television sent a memo to staffers last week saying they have engaged WBTV-owner WarnerMedia’s employee relations group and a third party firm, who will interview current and…

As we previously reported, actor Johnny Depp’s lawsuit including his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, has brought to light a whole batch of new revelations. For one thing, Johnny Depp has accused Amber Heard of having had an affair with Elon Musk while the two were still married. As a result, some information was revealed in which Johnny Depp had actually threatened Amber Heard by saying he’d castrate Elon Musk. Once Musk heard of this, he jokingly challenged Johnny Depp to a cage fight – and in a new development, Mickey Rourke has now challenged Elon Musk to a bare-knuckle fight…

While people are still trying to endure the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, especially those of us movie fans who’ve been suffering with the hit to traditional theaters and a variety of mainstream releases, there is still some hope at the end of the tunnel. For example, drive-in theaters have been making an impressive comeback throughout the pandemic. And to make matters even better for horror fans, it looks like John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic Halloween, along with its sequels Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, will all be coming to drive-in theaters!…

Many Judge Dredd fans have been waiting an extremely long time for Mega-City One, the latest attempt to revive the Dredd franchise for the screen. Mega-City One is intended to be a massive new series that’s been in development from Rebellion ever since the show was announced in 2017. Now Rebellion’s CEO Jason Kingsley has finally been able to give an update on the series. According to him, not only are the scripts ready to go, but they would like to get Karl Urban back as Dredd for the series – and even have original Judge Dredd actor Sylvester Stallone…

It isn’t very often that shoe designers tend to whip up shoes inspired by horror icons Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th and Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street. But shoe designer Warren Lotas has stepped up to the challenge. As you can see, the custom Nike shoes have the red and green color palette commonly associated with Freddy Krueger, while the iconic Nike “swoosh” logo is present with the image of Jason Voorhees’ memorable hockey mask. It’s an interesting use of two very different stylistic characters to create one single product. Only 2,000 pairs of these shoes…
