New Details Emerge for 2018’s “Halloween” Sequel

“Halloween” 2018 writer Danny McBride (yes, that Danny McBride) has revealed more details about the upcoming sequel. While we already knew John Carpenter would score and Jamie Lee Curtis would return, McBride’s interview with Yahoo has let loose some interesting tidbits. “We’re kind of ignoring all the films past the first one,” McBride confirmed. “It picks up after the first one, but it’s sort of an alternate reality.“ “It’s as if the first Halloween ended in a slightly different way,” McBride added, suggesting the new film may rewrite even the events of the original. ……I can’t be the only one whose REALLY not happy to hear that. Given McBride has no horror writing credits to his name, and barely any credits at all (one of the films he did notably write was the 2011 bomb “Your Highness.”) McBride does dress these concerns….sort of. “I think you should be very scared. I mean, this isn’t a comedy at all.” Said McBride.

Spider-Man’s ‘Morbius The Living Vampire’ Getting His Own Spin-off

Sony is continuing to expand the ‘Spider-Man’ universe with another spin-off. Developed under the dark of night, it has come to light that Sony is moving forward with a movie centered on ‘Morbius the Living Vampire’. The script for the film has officially been submitted to the studio and is ready to enter production. All that they are lacking is the right director, THR reports. Simply titled Morbius, the script was penned by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, who wrote Saban and Lionsgate’s Power Rangers movie. They were also behind God’s of Egypt and Dracula Untold. ‘Morbius the Living Vampire’ made his debut in ‘Spider-Man’ #101, the first issue not written by Marvel co-creator Stan Lee. He was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane. Morbius, while described as a vampire, is not one in the traditional sense. His thirst for blood is a result of experiments he conducted on himself in an attempt to cure a rare disease, but

‘Aquaman’ Jason Momoa Teases ‘The Crow’ Remake

See How Well “Stranger Things” Star Finn Wolfhard Know’s His 80’s Horror

“Stranger Things” is a series that is certainly…inspired (cough a rip-off cough) by supernatural cinema of the 80’s. It’s a safe bet that series creators and show runners the Duffer Brother’s know big hair generation horror pretty well, but how does series star Finn Wolfhard hold up? Well, he know’s more horror than most 14 year olds. Knowing what “The Shining” is isn’t bad for a moppy haired pre-teen, especially when most kids these days can name more emojis than they can books. Maybe Stephen King is a little mature for the teenie bopper crowd, but hey, I read Stephen King and middle school and turned out fine….I think.

Is This The End Of Universal’s Dark Universe?

Just 5 months after Universal released the first teaser image of some of the stars of their upcoming new Dark Universe film franchise the duo of Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, hired to be the architects of the universe, have exited the project according to THR. The teaser included A-list actors like Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, and Russel Crowe and was meant to hook fans on the revival of characters like the Invisible Man, Wolf Man, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Unfortunately, none of the planned remakes looks to still be alive and kicking. Universal even halted the filming of Bride of Frankenstein which had already begun production in London. Reportedly, the halt was due to execs feeling that the script written by director Bill Condon wasn’t ready. After viewers failed to get wrapped up in The Mummy, the first film of the franchise, it isn’t particularly surprising that they have put the venture on hold. Universal’s president
