Walking Dead Shirts Pulled From Stores Over Racism ??

Let’s face it, people are overly sensitive these days. There’s always something to bitch about. When it comes to ‘The Walking Dead’ there’s no shortage of what some people might find offensive, blood, guts, violence, sexual themes, and the list goes on. Back in October the Parent’s Television Council took up arms in an attempt to get the show removed from cable. Now, there’s new drama. Recently, a Methodist minister, Ian Lucraft and his wife wrote to Primark’s chief executive Paul Marchant, to demand that all official Walking Dead shirts with the “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe” quote be removed from stores. The reason? The couple says that the quote is racist. The source of their concern is that the song the line is taken from once went differently than the song most people know today. Now, people say “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe, catch a tiger by its toe…”. That’s not the original version. The song was once sang with that

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Felissa Rose

Horror legend status for a character in a horror film, this is an accolade that is normally attributed to the villains and either the last man standing or more often the final girl. It’s not very often that the villain and final girl happen to be the same character. But for a 13 year old Felissa Rose, this would be the case…well, sort of. And it would be this role, which incidentally was her very first, that would immediately solidify her position as a horror legend. This Long Island native would make her debut in the role of Angela Baker in the 1983 classic summer camp horror flick, Sleepaway Camp. All the while Felissa knew that she was the killer in question, but it was a shock even to her what the big reveal at the end of the film would be. At this point I’m not even calling the twist ending a spoiler, because the movie is nearly 34

Dracula Is Back For New Modern Series

Nick Wechsler and Joni Sighvatsson are teaming up to produce a new edgier, more political, adaption of ‘Dracula’ as a 10-episode series, Variety reports. Otto Geir Borg, whose film ‘Undercurrent’ won six Edda awards (Iceland’s version of an Oscar) will pen the series. The series, titled ‘Dracula Now’, is based on Valdimar Asmundsson’s reworking of ‘Dracula’ titled ‘Powers of Darkness‘, translated to English by Hans de Roos. The edition features a preface by Dacre Stoker, the great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker, and an afterword by horror scholar John E. Browning. In ‘Dracula Now’, the epic character will be a manipulative, seductive, megalomaniac who has come from Transylvania intent on conquering modern day Europe. Dracula Now will be an allegory of what’s happening today in the U.S., in the U.K. and in France,” said Sighvatsson, who is based in Los Angeles and heads up Scanbox with Thor Sigurjonsson and Chris Briggs. “It won’t be like a ‘Dracula’ spinoff because there’s no

New Predator Will be Bigger and Bloodier (updated)

In preparation for the upcoming Predator film, I just watched the original and was reminded of the franchise’s greatness. Yeah, it’s been watered down a bit over a few movies and crossovers (although they were fun in their own right). I was thrilled to hear that Shane Black (who played Hawkins in the original) is directing the upcoming Fred Dekker written film. And even more thrilled at the news Black posted on his twitter account. @BonadfideBlack and, just to be clear… PG-13 is for pussies. Spines bleed… a lot. Now, gore doesn’t guarantee a good movie, but Black knows and loves the franchise, promises a return to the spirit of the first movie and rumors that it will be set in an urban location with a bigger, and stronger genetically engineered predator (in case an invisible, knife wielding alien with a laser on his shoulder wasn’t good enough). The ever- growing cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown,

Movie Review: VooDoo Is More Of A VooDon’t

“Want to get away?” Most of you probably remember that line from the Southwest Airlines commercials that showed people in awkward or embarrassing situations who desperately seemed to need a break from their lives. In fact, that’s all a vacation really is…a break. Whether it’s a week or a month, taking a holiday is not the equivalent of a total escape from ones problems. It’s a lesson that Dani will quickly learn when she amscrays from her home in New Orleans to visit her cousin Stacy in LA. Her plan is to use this time away from home as an escape from the drama of a nasty and painful breakup with a man she had no idea was still married the entire time they were dating. But wait, there’s more. The man she was dating just happened to be married to a crazy voodoo priestess. And while the common concept of female fury is scary enough, it becomes quite diminished

Rest In Peace Hellboy…

We come to you with heavy hearts. You might want to sit down, we have some really bad news. Guillermo del Toro has made the announcement in regards to the ‘Hellboy’ sequel we had hoped for and it’s not good. Hellboy 3 Sorry to report: Spoke [with] all parties. Must report that 100% the sequel will not happen. And that is to be the final thing about it.” Back in January Del Toro posted a poll on Twitter and it seemed fans and Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, were finally going to get the sequel they wanted. So many people wanted to see Hellboy and his friends back for one more fight. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. At least we had the pleasure of knowing “Big Red”. Rest In Peace Hellboy…

Hulu Dishes More Details About Castle Rock

Hey there my Little Monsters, last week we learned that Stephen King and J.J. Abrams are again collaborating on a new series, Castle Rock, that will be shown exclusively oh Hulu. This announcement surely had many of King’s fans shivering with more antici. . .pation than Brad and Janet at Dr. Frank N. Fureter’s little soirée. Today Hulu continues to keep the interests of eager fans piqued by releasing the synopsis of the series which will consist of 10 episodes in all, with production rumored to be starting later this year. And now…the aforementioned synopsis. Castle Rock is being described as, “A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.
