The addition of social media to the entertainment industry has certainly had its influence.

Friday the 13th is often celebrated for being one of the earliest slasher films with its 1980 release date. Of course, it was preceded by John Carpenter’s Halloween, which also helped kick off the slasher genre as early as 1978. As such, many fans have debated, is Friday the 13th merely a rip-off of Halloween? This subject was tackled in a conversation with Sean Cunningham, director and producer of the movie, and Victor Miller, the film’s writer, while they spoke in an interview. After Sean Cunningham explained his desire to get into the horror genre early in his career, especially…

The Halloween movie franchise recently concluded (for now, anyways) with Halloween Ends. On the other hand, John Carpenter’s The Fog never became a franchise like its predecessor Halloween, aside from a 2005 remake. A fan theory aims to connect the two, however, by making Halloween into a prequel to The Fog. Obviously this would just make The Fog one of numerous alternate sequels to Halloween. But it’s still an interesting concept and one that adds a nice layer of context to Jamie Lee Curtis’s character, Elizabeth, who happens to be a little too mysterious in The Fog. Elizabeth, full name…

Jennifer Lawrence, known for such movies as The Hunger Games and X-Men, surprised fans when she did the comedy film No Hard Feelings. The 2023 sex comedy was a surprisingly different kind of role for Jennifer Lawrence, and that included a full frontal naked scene – and Netflix viewers are taking notice. For those unfamiliar, No Hard Feelings revolves around Lawrence’s 32-year-old character Maddie Barker. She’s an Uber driver in need of cash and ultimately accepts a Craigslist posting. This places her under the employment of a wealthy couple who wants her to “date” their awkward 19-year-old son, Percy Becker,…

The upcoming MCU movie The Marvels will tie together a variety of Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, namely Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. Now Marvel Studios has gone a step further with the film’s marketing, which has some fans calling the studio “desperate” to hype up The Marvels. Some of the complaints point out that a newly-released trailer from the film uses footage from Avengers: Endgame. The use of footage from the incredibly successful blockbuster, including the character Thanos, has some fans feel as though Marvel Studios is being misleading with their marketing for The Marvels. Other users have pointed out…

John Carpenter’s Vampires is often remembered as one of his last great outings in the horror genre following such classics as The Thing. It wasn’t long after its 1998 release, in 2002, that a sequel to Vampires would be released – Vampires: Los Muertos. Now the direct-to-video continuation to the John Carpenter hit is trending on Max. The movie has entered the ninth spot on Max’s Top 10. This makes it one of the most watched movies on the streaming service. Quite a feat for a direct-to-video sequel from a little over twenty years ago. For those unfamiliar, the film…
