Twin brothers Jeremy London (Mallrats) and Jason London (Dazed and Confused) are gearing up to film ‘Mississippi River Shark’. Set to begin filming in Ocean Springs the February, the movie will premiere on Syfy later this year, the Sun Herald reports.

There have been reports of injuries over the years.

A Milder Walking Dead – Say Good-bye To The Show’s Brutality

‘Walking Dead’ fans are about to be upset. Our beloved series is about to change thanks to a few overly-sensitive people who could not handle the season 7 premiere. The head-honchos of the series have decided to go back and edit the second half of the season and tone down the violence. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd on the new milder ‘Walking Dead’: We were able to look at the feedback on the level of violence,” Hurd stated at the NATPE conference. “We did tone it down for episodes we were still filming for later on in the season.” This is not a show that is torture porn,” Hurd said. After the backlash over the finale, “we don’t cross that line.” Did they forget that it has been a show featuring violence and zombies since day one? The decision to minimize the violence will change a lot of scenes. No more head bashing, no more guts being spilled. I remember

When the hit series returns Rick and the group will be making their case to both Hilltop and The Kingdom for why they should all band together and rise up against Negan and his Saviors. Images and teasers are already beginning to find their way to fans including a new image that teases new characters and a new location. We have already filled you in about one new group that the gang will be meeting, but we have no idea if that’s who the image is of. Take a look. Rick clearly has that posture that he gets when he’s feeling like a badass, you can almost imagine him saying, “You looking at me? Well are you, punk?”. The good news is Rick and Daryl are back together and they’re pissed. Synopsis for 7B: The first half of Season 7 saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln)

Actress-Director Sadie Katz Talks About Hillbillies, Killer Cats, And Being A Goddess In An Interview

Today, I sat down for an interview with actress-director Sadie Katz, for what turned out to be one of the most entertaining interviews I have ever had. Katz has starred in many roles including a drug thief in ‘House of Bad’, Sally in ‘Wrong Turn 6’, the Goddess Ishtar in the remake of ‘Blood Feast’, and a wife desperate for love in the upcoming creature feature ‘Moggy Creatures’. Katz has also co-starred in many other films like ‘State of Desolation’ and ‘Way to Abbottabad’. Her own documentary, ‘The Bill Murray Experience’ will be screening in film festivals soon. Horror Fuel: “Did your co-stars in ‘Wrong Turn 6’ freak you out at all while in makeup?” SK: “It’s really funny, the three baddies, they never came out without makeup on, which is really strange. They are always in character. Every time I saw them I was like this so weird. They never talked. They just kind of grunted and everything. I

The Necro Nom Nom Nomicon – Recipes For Those With A Taste For Both The Delicious & The Disturbing

If the Addams Family sat down to a meal, it wouldn’t surprise me to find Tye Lombardi in the kitchen, cooking up “Finger Foods”, “Spinach and Garlic Pupae on Fungus”, “Oozing Popping Sweet Cherry Zombie Mouse Brains’, and ‘Turkey with an Alien Chestbuster’. Sounds delicious, right? Lombardi, the chef behind ‘The Necro Nom-Nom-Nomicon’ shares recipes that aren’t for the faint of heart, but are a lot more normal than they might appear. Some recipes call for food disguised as something we are not accustomed to, some call for more exotic ingredients and some include the use of creepy crawlies. I know what you’re thinking, bugs, yuck! The truth is, they are actually pretty tasty (I know from experience) and they are even good for you. You just have to make sure your eating the right kind, luckily all of those details are included in her recipes. Tye Lombardi has spent her entire life working on scaring people, and for the

Eileen Dietz to Attend LAKE ALICE World Premiere

On January 22nd of 2017, the indie horror film Lake Alice will have it’s World Premiere at The Indie Lounge in Park City, UT.
