Wal-Mart Celebrates Christmas With Freddy And Jason

Ugly Christmas Sweaters, Christmas socks, Santa hats…whatever your holiday wardrobe is, you can toss is away! Walmart has just offered you brand new Christmas Diner attire that will surely trump anything you have in your closet already. The best part is that it is only $7.50….well….maybe the best part is that you can wear it all year ‘round. Freddy and Jason set their differences aside to celebrate the holidays and now you can take part in their celebrations. “Well, even the most evil killers like to sit down by the Christmas Tree and exchange presents,” reads Walmart’s description. “This shirt features two of the worst of the worst. The tee features a Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees graphic from the horror movies A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Freddy is sitting in a chair while Jason with his bloody sword stands nearby. A perfect setting for their family photo by the Christmas Tree and presents.” It can

Tarantino Potentially Set To Direct R-rated “Star Trek” Reboot

For every sci-fi nerd and movie geek whose wanted Tarantino to direct a film set in a galaxy far far away, the news that he pitched a “Star Trek” film to J.J. Abrams this past week is extremely exciting, if not unexpected. The current plan, which would have Tarantino direct the film, but not write it, is unusual for a couple of reasons. For starters, Tarantino almost never directs projects he doesn’t write himself, and other than a handful of television episodes, has shied away from franchises. And perhaps most surprising, in contrast to the historically more upbeat television series and films, Tarantino’s “Star trek” film would be rated R! Few details have been released so far, but a gritty R-rated “Star Trek” with Tarantino dialogue might just be the masterpiece I never knew I wanted, but now I can’t stop thinking about.

R Rated ‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ Coming In 2018

Earlier this year we reported that a sequel to 1999’s killer shark movie Deep Blue Sea was in the works. The sequel, which filmed this summer in Cape Town, South Africa, has received a 2018 release and an R rating for “creature violence, gore, and for language” UHM is reporting. Darin Scott (Tales from the Hood) is in the director’s chair for the sequel, simply titled Deep Blue Sea 2. Michael Beach, Rob Mayes, Danielle Savre, Nathan Lynn, and Darron Meyer star. Erik Patterson, Hans Rodionoff, and Jessica Scott penned the script. According to Syfy, “The plot kicks off with shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun invited to consult on a top-secret project run by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant (Beach). Calhoun is shocked to learn that the company is using the unpredictable and highly aggressive bull sharks as its test subjects. You can probably guess where this goes next, and Warner Bros. teases some “personality” from the sharks that’ll be menacing

The Temple of Lilith is Ready for Your Wicked Worship!

I get sent plenty of ghoulishly groovy things (most of which I slap my award losing revoltin’ reviews upon), but what I’m about to lay on you today is a short film that finally answers a question I’ve had in my head for over a decade: “If a Suicide Girl wakes up in the woods, would anyone be there to form some sort of insane evil family?’ The answer yes…yes, they would. Click the ol’ video below to see what I mean: To say I’m totally in love with that sinister short is an understatement…and apparently it’s part of a bigger picture! Here’s the official word on what’s coming next; a longer short titled Sulphur for Leviathan : Sulphur for Leviathan revolves around a nun, who suddenly finds herself progressively fantasizing about things that shouldn’t be in her head, increasingly having to face her own doings of blasphemy, all leading up to something demonically dark and sinister. Portrayed in a

Movie Review: The Spiritualist Won’t Conjure Up Much Spirited Fun.

Poor Laura; her nights are filled with a real plastic hassle of screaming, unending terror…night terrors to be precise (this probably not helped by the fact she lives in a creepy-as-balls mansion). Any ol’ way, L-Dawg is also dealing with the recent death of her mother who was nuttier than a goddamned fruit cake. Naturally, there are only two answers to what’s plaguing our heroine: her mother is haunting her like a MF’er, or Laura too has a bad case of beastly bats in her belfry. Regardless, a medium is called, a seance is performed, and Laura and her friends experience a violence laden experience. No refunds. Let’s start with what works with The Spiritualist, shall we? Well, it’s well acted, with Caroline Burns Cooke as the titular spiritualist being a real standout (as is the entire seance sequence). I also enjoyed the unconventional approach to parts of the narrative (the film almost seems like two films in one…and more

Pick Up Your Copy Of ‘Once Upon A Time At Christmas’ Just In Time For the Holidays

Christmas is right around the corner and so is the release of Once Upon a Time at Christmas, the new violence-fueled holiday film from director Paul Tanter. Sayla de Goede and Simon Philips star as the way too jolly, murderous couple. Brook Fletcher, Laurel Brady, Jeff Ellenberger, Devon Mary Doherty, and Christina Vernucci co-star. Christopher Jolley, Simon Philips, and Paul Tanter penned the script. The film hails from the team behind The Last Scout, White Collar Hooligan series, and the vampiric TV series Age of the Living Dead. In the film we meet Santa and Mrs. Claus: he’s a one-eyed fiend, she’s a curvy, bat-swinging blonde. This serial-killer couple is terrorizing the holidays in an upstate New York town with a series of horrific homicides. Though the victims seem random — a mall Santa, a smooching couple, an innocent family — high-schooler Jennifer and clever cop Sam begin to unravel the sinister pattern behind the slayings. Can they stop the

The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs Finds Second Career…In Music

It appears The Walking Dead’s golden boy, Chandler Riggs is branching out. While earning his acting cred as Carl Grimes, son of Sheriff Rick Grimes, it seems Riggs has now acted on his interest in the music industry. Riggs has been DJing at events nationwide including the annual Walker Stalker Cruise. Riggs has teamed up with Lolaby to release his first song, titled “Hold On” which he has spent over a year creating. “Hold On” is now available on Spotify and several other sites. This was an amazing co-write between myself and the ever so talented Chandler Riggs.” Lolaby said. Before you jump to conclusions, you should know that this doesn’t necessarily mean his character Carl is on the chopping block anytime soon. Most of the cast of the hit series work on other projects when not filming ‘TWD’. I will say this, the fact that he’s not DJing under the name Carl Poppa is a bit disappointing. Check out
