“Supernatural” fans are some of the most dedicated fans out there, so when the pilot was ordered for the spin-off series “Wayward Sisters” they were overjoyed. Unfortunately, The CW has decided not to move forward with the series, even after the pilot aired back in January and was well received. The series would have centered on Jody Mills, Claire Novak, and their family of monster ass-kicking women in South Dakota. Now fans have started a petition to save the show, and it already has more than 71,000 signatures. Now, CW president Mark Pedowitz offered an explanation. We are big fans of the characters and the women who played those characters in the series, but we did not feel creatively that the show is where we wanted it to be, and we felt we had a better shot with Legacies.” “Legacies” is a spin-off of the hit series “The Originals”. “Legacies” will air on Thursdays following “Supernatural”.

The original A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 horror film by Wes Craven revolves around teenagers being stalked and killed in their dreams by Freddy Krueger, who was unbelievably creepy and surprisingly hilarious. The movie was filmed on a budget of about $1.8 million and it earned back all that money within its first week, going on to gross over $25 million at the box office in the U.S. Flooded with praise by fans and receiving phenomenal reviews, A Nightmare on Elm Street went on to make a significant impact on the horror genre, which spawned a franchise consisting of a line of sequels, a TV series and even a crossover with Friday the 13th.

Danish Director Lars Von Trier made his returns to the Cannes film festival after a seven-year ban for a controversial remark made at his last appearance where he jokingly said he sympathized with Adolf Hitler. Trier showcased his latest film, The House That Jack Built. The movie stars Matt Dillon as a serial killer named Jack. After the showing, the film received a six-minute standing ovation from the audience that significantly shrunk in size since the film started. Over 100 audience members walked out during the picture’s showing and immediately expressed their disgust for the film. One of the biggest factors that sparked the walkout was a scene where it shows the title character Jack graphically shooting children. Another factor that caused walkouts was the graphic depiction of murderous torture. If Trier wanted to make an impression at the festival that previously banned him, it seems he accomplished his goal. The House That Jack Built will be out in 2018

Fox has been cleaning house, canceling shows like The Exorcist and Lucifer, just to name a few. Today, another series got the ax. We all wanted to “believe” that “The X-Files” would be back for good, enough for at least a little while, but that just isn’t the case. Fox is closing down “The X-Files”, at least for now, network CEO and co-chair Gary Newman revealed today during a conference call with reporters. The news comes only two months after the eleventh season’s finale, which star Gillian Anderson stated would be her last. Following the finale, the series’ creator Chris Carter told TV Line, “I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more X-Files, in some shape or form. I think there are lots more stories to tell and ways to tell them. I’m leaving this as a giant cliffhanger, and Gillian has announced that sh’s not coming back. Hard-core X-Files fans know there have been no real endings on the show.”
