The internet as well as Evil Dead fanbase has been in an uproar since the cancellation of Ash vs. Evil Dead. While many are fighting to see the show renewed or revived as a Netflix Original Series, it seems increasingly hopeless as time goes on. Ash Williams himself, Bruce Campbell, is even claiming that he’ll be retiring from the role. Big props to fans for the effort, but I’m retired as Ash. #timetofrysomeotherfish https://t.co/Di1aeBV0dl — Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) April 23, 2018 It’s actually a pretty heartbreaking thing to hear. As if the fight has gone out of Bruce to keep…

While Ash vs. Evil Dead is officially cancelled, the series’ fourth season was still being developed up until the official announcement. And, according to a source from Bloody-Disgusting, the new story was going to be huge. Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell were planning to send Ash into the future apocalypse – something that we only had a taste of in the alternate ending for Army of Darkness. It reportedly would’ve been like a mix between Fallout and Mad Max, with demons and robots alike roaming the wasteland. It’s unfortunate this never happened, because this is personally something I…

One element that makes Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie one of the most anticipated productions of the year, is John Carpenter’s involvement! Carpenter was announced to be executive producing the film and working as a creative consultant from the very beginning. And considering he’s strayed away from the franchise ever since Halloween III: Season of the Witch, it’s become every fan’s dream to see him return to the series. Of course, it also was hinted that Carpenter would be scoring the film as well. He worked on the musical compositions for each of the original three Halloween films, so having him…

Everyone has been demanding details for Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie, including how Laurie Strode fits into the picture. After all, it’s been 40 years, and considering she’s no longer Michael Myers’ sister – just how will the two meet up? While we still have no idea what sort of fate will throw the two back together, Jamie Lee Curtis has explained that the new movie is very similar to the original with her “granddaughter” taking her place. She explained it all in an interview with Yahoo! “And as soon as I read what David Green and Danny McBride had come…

Everyone has been thinking about killer clowns ever since Andy Muschietti’s IT movie adaptation hit theaters late last year. Now it seems like another clown horror film comes out every few months. We’ve had The Terrifier, the announcement of 3 From Hell with Captain Spaulding, and now Crepitus. What’s interesting about Crepitus, however, is that it stars genre actor Bill Moseley as the clown. An interesting twist, considering he’ll be starring alongside Sid Haig’s Captain Spaulding in the upcoming sequel to The Devil’s Rejects that we mentioned above. As always, we can expect Moseley to give the role his best…

The original Fright Night is quickly coming back in style. While the movie was remade in 2011, and again in 2015, it’s the original written and directed by Tom Holland that continues to be loved and referenced by fans. Holland understands this, and is actually writing a new sequel in the form of a novel because of it. Interestingly enough, however, we’re also getting a new comic series. There was once a short-lived series of comics launched in 1988 which were unfortunately canceled prematurely. Fans have been aching for more ever since, and Holland seems to have them covered. As…

We still have awhile to go before Cinestate’s Puppet Master reboot will be released. Audiences will get their first taste this coming weekend at the Overlook Film Festival where the movie will premiere.

Another iconic star has once again passed away, this time being the great Harry Anderson. He was best known for his appearances on Night Court, but also for playing the adult Richie in Tommy Lee Wallace’s original 1990 adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. While there isn’t much information given about his death, he was only 65 and found at his home in Asheville, North Carolina. According to TMZ, the actor went into cardiac arrest and wasn’t responsive when the paramedics arrived. It’s unfortunate because although Anderson didn’t have very many roles, he still did his best in the few he…

It’s been three years since Neill Blomkamp first teased his dream project, Alien 5 – a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens. The director took to Instagram and uploaded a variety of conceptual art pieces, all of which featured iconic characters, sets, and of course, aliens. Unfortunately the project was never officially announced as being greenlit. In fact, it’s gone through stages of complete silence in recent years. It seems to be the consensus that Ridley Scott had the project completely scrapped so he could continue his series of Prometheus sequels, and now Blomkamp has come out…
