If you ask anyone who reads manga which artist makes good horror mangas, you’ll most likely be pointed in the direction of Junji Ito whose stories and the images that accompany them are legendary and frightening. On the opening day of the Crunchyroll Expo 2019, it was announced that Ito’s popular story Uzumaki, will be getting a four-episode anime adaptation. The series will be directed by Hiroshi Nagahama who is known for directing the anime series adaptation of the supernatural adventure Mushishi. Colin Stetson who composed the soundtrack for the film Hereditary will be composing Uzumaki’s soundtrack. Uzumaki is Japanese for “spiral”, in the manga the story revolves around (no pun intended) fictional town where the citizens are tormented by a curse where spirals are appearing in everyday objects and driving people insane to the point that either they turn into snails OR die with their bodies twisted in a spiral. In 2000 a live-action film adaptation was released as

After multiple false starts, the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” is finally a go and has been acquired by streaming giant Netflix, in what is being called a “massive” deal with Warner Bros. The adaptation comes 30 years after Gaiman’s first comic in the 75 issue collection was published, in which Morpheus wakes up after being in captivity for 70 years. Gaiman is penning the first episode of the series along with showrunner David S. Goyer, who was also behind the “Good Omens” adaptation. The Netflix series follows Morpheus as he copes with the world he missed unfold while in captivity.

Stephen King adaptations just keep coming, not that we’re complaining. The latest edition to the list is an adaptation of King’s Roadwork which is now in the works from Andy and Barbara Muschietti (IT, IT: Chapter Two), who will be producing. Pablo Trapero (The Clan) is directing. Production is set to begin next year. In the book, “It’s all coming to an end for Barton Dawes. The city’s Highway 784 extension is in the process of being constructed right across town and inexorably through every aspect of Bart’s existence—whether it’s about to barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living, or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a life. But as a result, something’s been happening inside Bart’s head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn’t prepared for—a complete and irrevocable burnout of the mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person from turning to violent means. As the wheels of progress and a demolition

Odds are, if you went to high school you were made to read Lord of the Flies penned by Nobel Prize-winner William Golding. The 1954 dystopian novel is now being adapted by Warner Bros. for a feature film. According to Variety, Luca Guadagnino is in talks to both direct and produce. Does that name sound familiar? It should. Luca Guadagnino‘s Suspiria made a splash with many critics last year as did his film Call Me by Your Name in 2017. The novel follows a group of schoolboys marooned on a deserted tropical island who descend into a savage social order in an attempt to recreate the culture they left behind. The book is dark, brutal, and has inspired many author and filmmakers in both the horror genre and the post-apocalyptic subgenre. This isn’t the first time the tale has been turned into a film. The novel was adapted for film in 1963 followed by the 1990 adaptation, which, in all

Following a flood of entertainment news from SDCC, news came that two-time Oscar winner and “True Detective” star Mahershala Ali is gearing up to hunt down vampires in Marvel’s new Blade movie! During the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic-Con last night Ali appeared and revealed the news that he is will be starring as the badass day-walker Blade, the character made iconic by Wesley Snipes. There are no other details available yet, but we assume that the movie will be out in late 2020 or early 2021. We’ll keep you posted. Personally, I think it’s a good fit, especially if Ali beefs up. He’s an incredible actor (he’s got two Oscars for God’s sake). He was fantastic in “True Detective” and in “Luke Cage”, in which he plays the villain Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes. If you haven’t seen either series, I strongly recommend that you do so. You will find “True Detective” on Prime and “Luke Cage” on Netflix.
