Real Life Australian Cannibal Getting Her Own Movie

Today, we have news that might excite our readers that are into true crime. Odds are you may have heard about Austrailian killer Katherine Knight, but if you haven’t you’re about to get a lesson about the Australian killer in the form of a feature film from filmmakers Dane Millerd and Ross Murray based on the book Blood Stain by journalist Peter Lalor, Dread Central is reporting. Not only did the 60-year-old woman, who on all counts appeared normal to the outside world, murder her husband John, but she also chopped him up and tried to serve him for dinner to her stepchildren. When police arrived at the home to investigate a report of a disturbance they discovered John’s decapitated body, his skin drying in another room and his head bobbing in a pot of stew on the stove. That’s not all, his buttocks had been prepared with vegetables which Knight had hoped to feed to his kids. (You can

‘Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina’ Hit With $150M Lawsuit

Netflix and Warner Brothers were hit with a $150 million dollar lawsuit over the appearance of the satanic deity Baphomet in their new series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and the ones filing the lawsuit (might surprise you) are The Satanic Temple, not to be confused with The Church of Satan. The Satanic Temple is a progressive and more politically involved movement that was formed in 2012. The reason for the upset is the focus of the show takes place around a school called The Academy of Unseen Arts in which a statue of Baphomet is seen. The Satanic Temple claims the show not only infringed on the copyright of the image of the goat-headed deity but also defamed it and misled audiences to its origin. In a complaint filed by the Temple (which can be read HERE) it’s mentioned “Prominent use of this symbol as the central focal point of the school associated with evil, cannibalism, and murder blurs and

Awesome New Updates Coming To ‘Jurassic World: Evolution’

The park-building simulator “Jurassic World: Evolution” will be getting a massive update on November 20th. This addition to the game will include a new story mode called “Jurassic World Evolution: Secrets of Dr. Wu”, where Dr. Wu will call on your help with some new projects for him. If you accept his offer, a new island will be unlocked along with five new dinosaurs! Out of the five, two are regular dinosaurs, the Troodon, and Olorotitan. The other three dionos are hybrids of Wu’s creation, the Ankylodocus, Stegoceratops, and Spinoraptor. If things go well for you, remember this is the “Jurassic Park” universe so there will be A LOT of “accidents”, you will unlock new building upgrades like the more advanced storm tracking system that will protect your buildings better during storms as well as a new “Comfort Genes” that you can use to manipulate dino embryos to make them more tolerant in their exhibits.

New ‘Walking Dead’ Teaser Reveals The Walkers Are Evolving

Last Sunday, “The Walking Dead” ended with Rick (Andrew Lincoln) being flown off in a helicopter, leaving his group believing he was toast following the explosion on the bridge. Don’t worry, we will see Rick again in the form on new movies from AMC, but he is gone from the show. So what’s next for the series you may be asking. Well, this week “TWD” returns with the largest time jump they’ve ever had, fast forwarding six years into the future. Besides the group looking older, there’s also a new group in the picture. The most important detail that we learn in the video is that the walkers are evolving, which could be a big deal.

First Look: Filming Has Wrapped On Home Invasion Thriller ‘Nefarious’

Filming has wrapped filming on Ash Moutain Films’ home invasion thriller Nefarious from the makers of the award-winning film Dogged. Today, we have the first batch of images. From director Richard Rowntree, the film stars Buck Braithwaite, Nadia Lamin, Abbey Gillett, Omari Lake-Pottinger, Gregory A Smith, and Toby Wynn-Davies. It was co-written by Matthew Davies. “Sometimes, you have to turn to crime. Sometimes, it turns on you… Darren, Lou, Jo, and Mas live a meager existence on the fringes of poverty. Indebted to the criminal kingpin of their social housing development, they routinely fear for their lives.

“Eureka’s” Tembi Locke Tells Us About Her Role In Hulu’s New Series “Into The Dark”

I sat down with talented actress Tembi Locke to talk with her about several of her roles such as Grace Monroe on “Eureka”, a series I absolutely adored, about a town of scientists and their inventions that end up causing chaos. We also talked about one of Tambi’s most recent roles in Hulu’s new film series “Into the Dark”. “Into the Dark” is part film and part series. Each month an episode is released as a feature length film that is inspired by that month’s holiday. I should also mention that the series is a Blumhouse production. November’s episode centers on Kimberly, a young woman, played by Diana Silvers, who has severe agoraphobia. With the help of her psychiatrist (Tembi Locke), Kimberly is working towards finding the power to leave her home. When she discovers her father’s (Dermot Mulroney) dark secret she must find a way to escape her phobia and her father’s wrath. Horror Fuel: “I was a huge,

A Psychological Tightrope: Final Thoughts Of ‘The Call Of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game’

Since my review of “The Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game”, I’ve played the game twice and have enough to give my final thoughts. The following will contain spoilers as I explain the overall main plot as it may be confusing to those who have played the game and have questions, but at the end (My final thoughts) are spoiler free if you wish to skip down to that. SPOILERS AHEAD! Some of the information I’ll skip over as it’s been mentioned in my review. On the island of Darkwater, the locals are obsessed with a legendary story about the “Miraculous Catch”, the whaling community was starving as the whales seemed to have vanished from the waters surrounding the island in the 1840’s. One whaling ship came back missing half its crew that was lost during the fight to catch this gigantic “Whale” that fed the entire island. Three of the island’s inhabitants, Captain Fitzroy, Dr. Fuller, and Jack

‘Clownado’ Unleashes Insane Blood-Soaked Trailer

On the heels the Blu-ray/DVD release of writer-director Todd Sheet‘s indie werewolf hit Bonehill Road, he has unveiled the gore-filled trailer for his new film Clownado. Starring Linnea Quigley, Eileen Dietz, Julie Anne Prescott, Dylinn Fawn Harvey, Millie Milan, and Joel D. Wynkoop, the movie was co-written by Darrel Shackelford. Sheet’s goal with the film “is to make a damned good, scary and splatter-filled, nonstop roller coaster ride of a Horror movie. It’s something new, fresh, original and unique but also familiar. Using only Practical Special Makeup Effects and old-school styled visual effects, Clownado has the vibe of Classic Horror movies we love. Think Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Bad Taste and Texas Chainsaw Massacre if Lucio Fulci was directing, all mixed in a swirling storm of insanity. Now add in scary supernatural Clowns and the cinematic visual style known as Film Noir. – intense composition with shadow and light. – and a bit of that incredible John Carpenter suspense (John
