Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

The 1988 horror comedy film Killer Klowns From Outer Space has remained a cult classic ever since it was released decades ago, something that the directors – the Chiodo Brothers – can be thanked for. The brothers are also responsible for having written and produced the film, as well as creating its tremendous special effects. But what else could you expect from the effects artists behind the original four films of the Critters franchise? What’s also worth mentioning, however, is that Killer Klowns From Outer Space actually has a super high kill count. While the film is only rated PG-13,…

It usually already takes a long time for Netflix to release a new season of Stranger Things, and it seems that wait will now be even longer since the Coronavirus pandemic halted production of Season 4. While things are unclear regarding when production will get back underway for the highly anticipated series, there has been a little tease that it could be soon. A new image taken from the Stranger Things writing room has revealed 9 total scripts – which seems to imply that Season 4 of the show will have a 9 episode count, much like the second season…

While there have been quite a few Alien films released since Alien: Resurrection hit theaters 23 years ago, none of them have actually directly continued the story of those original four films, or their protagonist Ellen Ripley (or Ripley 8 from Alien: Resurrection, if you want to get specific). With that said, however, it seems producer Walter Hill actually has a script treatment for a direct sequel – Alien 5 – which would bring Sigourney Weaver back as Ripley for the first time in decades. Although Sigourney Weaver didn’t sound particularly enthusiastic about the project when she revealed the treatment’s existence,…

Audiences unfortunately still have to wait before the new Candyman film will finally be released. In the meantime, the film’s director Nia DaCosta has shared a really interesting video on her Twitter account. It’s a creative depiction of Candyman and his origin regarding how he became the legend he is today. As you can see in the footage posted below, the video was created uniquely by paper puppets. Of course, what’s even more interesting, is that Candyman isn’t the only character in the origin video. It actually mixes in several other modern examples of racism and how many black people…

The year is 2020, and it seems many people are on the lookout for anything with “outdated attitudes, language,” as well as “cultural depictions which may cause offence today”. At least, that’s the case with the UK TV channel Sky Cinema who began using the above warning. The channel decided to include the warning with a wide variety of films after HBO Max removed Gone with the Wind from their catalogue due to criticisms of racism with its depiction of slavery. Meanwhile Sky Cinema decided to include this warning with many different films, including James Cameron’s action/horror classic Aliens, the…

In particular, we had filmmaker Joe Berlinger’s documentary series Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, as well as his feature film companion titled Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile which starred actor Zac Efron as serial killer Ted Bundy. They were pretty popular, and it seems that the hype is only going to continue growing – as it’s just been announced a separate new Ted Bundy film is in the works, this one being titled No Man of God. And, instead of Joe…
