Jason X is only one of multiple black sheep in the Friday the 13th franchise. While some of the sequels are targeted for deceptively taking place mostly on boats, or following body-hopping worm demons, Jason X gets trashed for taking place in outer space. Sure, it isn’t the first thing you think would get made when watching the original 1980 film starring Betsy Palmer – but I’ll give the filmmakers props for trying to come up with something different. Granted, all the fans really wanted was some continuity and to revisit the franchise’s roots, but at least they managed to…

One of the biggest draws for the Halloween franchise happens to be the return of original star Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s always felt like a special treat getting to see her in a slasher movie; and to see her return alongside John Carpenter and original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle in an all-new Halloween movie is way more than special. In fact, perhaps a more appropriate term would be miracle – after all, who would’ve expected this after the release of Rob Zombie’s Halloween? Or even after the release of Halloween: Resurrection? With that said, we’re getting closer to seeing…

Now that we’ve recently been given the latest sequel in the Hellraiser franchise, Hellraiser: Judgment, director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has spoken out about the series’ direct-to-video status and how he blames Scream for it. As most fans know, the Hellraiser franchise has been abused and mistreated early on in its series. The third film, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth was the start of this. It was the first movie Dimension produced for the franchise, and it marked their attempt to turn Pinhead into a mainstream slasher villain like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t go as Dimension…

The new IT movie adaptation from 2017 somehow managed to become just as iconic as the original 1990 miniseries for modern audiences. As such, Pennywise has been recreated, parodied, and cosplayed on what seems to be a daily basis. But what you’re about to see is unlike anything that’s been done so far. The doll was recently sold in an eBay auction for a whopping $500; it was constructed by Amanda Morrow based on a sculpt from Laura Tuzio Ross. Morrow explained that the doll was “a hand made item”, and went on to describe it in detail. “It is constructed…

There seems to be no end in sight for the highly-popular Conjuring franchise. The films have seen a huge success since James Wan’s first installment came out in 2013, and Warner Bros. has been sure to milk every last drop of that success over the years, and that won’t stop with The Nun – though it will have a delayed release date. The first spin-off, Annabelle, premiered in 2014. It received a lukewarm reaction from fans and critics but still managed to become a financial success like its predecessor. Next we got The Conjuring 2, a direct sequel to the…

We’ve already gotten a variety of behind-the-scenes photos for Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie. This included a look at Jamie Lee Curtis once more returning to the Laurie Strode role, albeit forty years later. Now Curtis has shared the first official promotional image from the film once again featuring her in the role of Laurie. Set self portrait of Laurie Strode 2018. A survivor and a protector. @halloweenmovie #halloweenmovie A post shared by Jamie Lee Curtis (@curtisleejamie) on Feb 12, 2018 at 4:56am PST She really does capture the style and look of Laurie as she appeared in 1978, even if…

It’s been awhile since we heard anything regarding Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation. But according to Deadline, the wheels are finally moving, with Christopher Columbus set to write, direct, and produce the film! According to the report: Chris Columbus has signed on to write, direct and produce Blumhouse’s screen adaptation of Scott Cawthon’s popular video game Five Nights at Freddy’s, which centers on a security guard battling animatronic robots that come to life in a Chuck E. Cheese-like venue. Columbus has quite a history in Hollywood with writing and directing. He previously directed the first two Harry Potter…

It was revealed last year that filmmaker Tom Holland had started work on a Fright Night 3 in the form of a novel. And while there still hasn’t been any news on the book’s release, Holland has spoken up about a listing for the novel on Amazon. According to him, it’s not legitimate. “The Amazon page offering Fright Night 3 the novel is a complete farce,” Holland tweeted. “I’ve been getting many messages lately because according to the page the release is coming up. Sorry all but that page is NOT me. I’m still writing the book and loving every minute.”…

It was only a matter of time before the comic spin-off Sabrina The Teenage Witch got the same treatment as Riverdale – seeing as how the show has been a massive hit. Netflix has acquired the property with plans to launch an hour-long drama series following the teenaged witch. The plan is to start with two seasons which will consist of twenty overall episodes. As is expected, horror and witchcraft will be primary elements for the series. Another expected element happens to be everyone’s favorite black cat, Salem! The series showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa has taken to Twitter where he…

As the newest Halloween movie continues shooting, fans are becoming desperate for more details. While we’ve gotten our look at Jamie Lee Curtis in her new Laurie Strode attire, most fans are still curious about how Michael Myers will appear. Will he retain his original William Shatner mask, or could The Shape undergo an entirely new look? It’s still yet to be confirmed, but we do now that original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle is back in the jumpsuit for the new movie. And while we aren’t able to see how he’ll look for the film, he’s taken to social…
