Documentary ’30 Years Of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story’ Coming This August

If you are an ’80s kid you will have no problem remembering the Garbage Pail Kids. Now, a documentary is headed our way later this month that will explore the story behind those gross characters that were so near and dear to our hearts, from directors Jeff Zapata and Joe Simko. The Garbage Pail Kids were everywhere in the 80s. You might remember the movie or the cartoon, the trading cards, the dolls, or all of the other merchandise. I’ll be honest, I had quite the collection of trading cards back in the day and to my mother’s dismay, I wore out my VHS copy of the movie. Honestly, what kid could resist characters like Adam Bomb, Dead Ted, Nat Nerd, Nervous Rex, Sicky Vicky, Ali Gator, and One-Eyed Jack? Let’s not forget Donald Dump, the character based on Donald Trump. From the Press Release: West Hollywood, California (Tuesday, August 8th) – Indican Pictures is set to release the pivotal

Max Landis Speaks Out About Remaking ‘ An American Werewolf In London’

With the film industry determined to remake/reboot every genre film we ever loved (at least that’s how it feels), it seems no classic is off limits. It was just a matter of time before John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London was added to the loooong list of revamped films. We reported back last year that Max Landis, John’s son, is remaking his father’s 1981 classic (at least it is staying in the family). Robert Kirkman and David Albert, the producers of ‘The Walking Dead’ are the source of the idea to do the remake and will produce under their Skybound banner. Max recently spoke with IMDb about the project: I’m gonna write it and I think I’m gonna direct it,” Landis said. “I like the script I wrote, you know? I’m halfway through it right now, I hope it turns out great.” He went to make it clear that he understands that fans are concerned and that he is

Review: ‘Death House’ Is A Dark Twisted Discent Into Hell (In A Good Way)

The highly anticipated genre film Death House, from director Harrison Smith, is approaching its fall release and we’ve reviewed it. Before we get into a review of the film, you should know about the story behind the movie. Originally, the script was penned by Texas Chainsaw Massacre Actor and genre icon Gunnar Hansen. Smith re-wrote the script, keeping Hansen’s vision intact. Smith also got the okay on the script from Hansen just before he passed away. Death House was a big undertaking. No other film in the history of horror has had such an enormous and impressive cast of well known genre actors. The cast list reads like a who’s who of horror and includes stars like Danny Trejo (Machete Kills), Tony Todd (Candyman), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Dee Wallace (Cujo), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th), Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Sid Haig (The Devil’s Rejects), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Barbara Crampton (We Are Still Here), Cody Longo

‘Hannibal’ Creator Confirms He Is In Talks To Revive The Acclaimed Series

Fans and critics alike were heartbroken when NBC announced back in 2015 that after only three seasons they were killing Hannibal. The series’ creator Brad Fuller has continued to tell fans that the series could be revived at some point and that the series is not completely dead. Last night on Twitter Fuller was asked about the series’ status and he had an interesting answer. Conversations couldn’t start until 2 years after the final airing of season 3,” he said. “[The De Laurentiis Company] has started those conversations. This takes time.” Both Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy have already made it clear that they would love to sink their teeth into a fourth season. I know Hannibal fans all have their fingers (and dinner forks) crossed that we will get another taste of the amazing, dark, and breathtakingly stunning series inspired by the cannibalistic character from Thomas Harris’ novels that introduced the world to Dr. Hannibal Lecter in 1981 in
