American Horror Story Renewed For Multiple Seasons – First Cast Announced For Season 7

In 2016 we witnessed ‘American Horror story’ travel to Roanoke where the present met the past. It turns out, ‘American Horror story’ has a lot of future seasons ahead of it. FX announced today that the series has not only been renewed for season 7, but also renewed for seasons 8 and 9. That means that we will have the series around until at least 2019, if not longer. So far, we have moved into the ‘Murder House’, been institutionalized in the ‘Asylum’, cast spells with the ‘Coven’, visited the ‘Freak Show’, checked into the ‘Hotel’ and lastly, traveled to ‘Roanoke’ where a modern day couple saw the past come alive and the secret of the mysterious disappearance of Roanoke’s Lost Colony be uncovered. Where will season 7 take us? While the plot and setting for season 7 has not been revealed, there is a theory that it will take place at sea. What we do know is that both

Fox Mostly Likely Renewing ‘The X-Files’ With A Longer Season

Few television series have ever accomplished a group of fans as dedicated as the lovers of ‘The X-Files’. Last year, we got to see Mulder and Scully return for a limited series revival, but fans wanted more. It seems Fox is more than happy to make that happen. That’s right, it appears that we are going to see our favorite ‘X-Files’ detectives return, this time for more than just a couple of episodes. Entertainment Weekly has reported that during the Television Critics Association press tour, Fox president David Madden told reporters that the network is planning “to have an announcement very shortly” about the renewal of ‘The X-Files’. The only issue is scheduling around David Duchovney and Gillian Anderson’s prior commitments. He also stated that future seasons of the series will be longer than last year’s revival, but shorter than the series’ original 20 or more episode seasons. I want to believe that it will all come together. If it

Jeepers Creepers 3 Finally Set To Begin Filming

Back last year we reported that the long-awaited sequel ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ was finally on its way, but back in March of 2016 the film stalled thanks to problems caused by writer-director Victor Salva’s dark past. Today, we have good news for fans of the franchise. Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ has now entered pre-production. Filming is set to begin next month in Louisiana instead of Vancouver, Canada like originally planned. Reportedly, Gina Philips will be returning to reprise her role as “Tish”, the only sibling that survived the first film. Brandon Smith will be back as Sergeant Tubbs and the Creeper will once again be played by Jonathan Breck. ’Jeepers Creepers 3′ will show events on the last day of the Creeper’s twenty-three day feeding frenzy, as the skeptical Sergent Tubbs teams up with a task force hellbent on destroying the Creeper for good.

Synopsis Revealed For The Second Half Of Season 7 Of The Walking Dead

Last week ‘The Walking Dead’ teased fans with a series of mysterious images for the second half of season 7. Today, we have the synopsis for rest of the season. The first half of Season 7 saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the group broken by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), forced to fall under his will and brutally convinced to live under his rules. The second half of the season will focus on preparing for war and gathering the supplies and numbers to take Negan down once and for all. Rick’s group will find out yet again that the world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s much bigger than anything they’ve seen so far. While they have a singular purpose – to defeat Negan – it won’t come easy. More importantly, victory will require more than Alexandria. They need the numbers of the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but, similar to how Rick felt, Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Gregory (Xander Berkeley)

Tom Holland Drops Hints About Fright Night 3

Horror icon Tom Holland shared something interesting on Twitter this weekend, “the Fright Night copyrights come back to papa” in 2019. That’s all thanks to the Copyright Act of 1976 which allows the US Congress to make it possible for artist to reclaim their licensed work after a period of 35 years. Back in 1984 Holland, who wrote and directed ‘Fright Night’, had to sell the rights to get the film made. And boy are we glad it got made! Photo Credit: Lynn Peters So, what does all this mean? Holland tweeted another message saying, “Oh the things I’m going to do,” he then went on to reveal more in a series of tweets including the fact that he is “almost finished with Fright Night 3 the novel”, and that “many things grow from there.” As for the plot, he didn’t say but he did drop a hint, “Not sure who lives next door now, but I bet he has
