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.

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.

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.

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.

“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,

‘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.
