Warning Graphic Images! HBO is working on several new series, which is a good thing since their most popular series, ‘Game of Thrones’, will be ending soon. One of the new series in the works is ‘Raven’, based on the real life story of Jim Jones and the People’s Temple’s mass suicide on November 18, 1978 in which 918 adults and children died by committing suicide or were murdered at the command of Jones at their Guyana compound. The event, referred to as “The Jones Town Massacre”, is the largest mass suicide in history. Those who did not die from drinking the poisoned Kool-Aid were shot. ‘Breaking Bad’s Vince Gilligan is set to direct and executive produce ‘Raven’. At the moment it is unclear if the series will ave a single season run or be stretched out over multiple seasons. It will focus not only Jones, but other key characters as well. This is not the first time the Jim

In the premiere we will finally find out who Negan beat to death. The new clip gives several major clues. Warning! Stop reading now if you want to avoid spoilers! First, we see Rick’s face splattered with blood, meaning that the victim was close. After Rick looks Negan in the eye and says, “I’m going to kill you.” Negan puts the bat in Rick’s face and asks, “What? I didn’t quite catch that you’re going to have to speak up.” Rick responds, “Not today. Not tomorrow. But I’m going to kill you.” That’s our Rick. At this point Negan grabs him and drags him towards the RV before the clip ends. One of the hardest parts of the clip is that when Rick is dragged away

You have just over two weeks to prepare for the heart ache that will come during The Walking Dead’s season 7 premiere. Ready or not, the cast and crew have all given warnings that we should have Kleenex on hand. You’re gonna be mad. It was this hardest episode I’ve ever directed.” Greg Nicotero stated during an episode of ‘Geeking Out’. He also made a comment that leads us to believe it will be two victims instead of one. Everyone seems to have a theory who died at the hands of Negan, including us (my money is on Glenn and Abraham). When all is said and done, the best theory is that not one, but two of our group will die. They may both die by the bat or one will be killed later in the episode. There’s so much more that happens in the first episode that is more heartbreaking than that moment,” Nicotero continued. ” that by the

As I caught wind that Nick Lyon’s Syfy TV-Movie Earthtastrophe aired in Asia last Wednesday, I found some new pics dropped from the very flick ON Syfy.com featuring some of the cast holding people at gunpoint, stalking others, hoarding cash and bunkering down. Earthtastrophe’ is said to star Tonya Kay as the lead among Paige Lauren Billiot, Malani Coomes, Rachel Coomes, Andrew J Kraters, Alex Mansour and Evan Sloan Weinstein In a white hot flash of light, and with no warning, one minute our moon is there, the next it’s gone. Then, a second flash. And that’s the last thing anyone on Earth can remember. 11 months later, it’s not post- apocalyptic; it’s apocalyptic as Earth has been sucked through a wormhole, literally ripping our planet from the inside out. With bizarre disasters and civilization collapsing, our heroes must find a way to survive and get to “safe ground” before it’s too late. The next air date for Earthtastrope stands

Across the nation clowns have been terrifying citizens and harassing kids, even forcing some cities to cancel school days. A few clowns have been arrested, but many towns are still living in fear. Today, one clown that had been harassing a neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana got shot. Let’s face it, it was just a matter of time. Today at 12:30 p.m. on Plaza Drive, in Fort Wayne, police found the critically injured man dressed as a clown, on the ground shot. Michael Joyner, a spokesperson from the Fort Wayne Police Department, stated that a white van pulled up alongside the clown and parked.

I just think it’s crazy.” Joe Wright, who lives down the street from the shooting, said. “People better take those clown mask off…before the

The 80’s was full of new monsters in horror films, and one of the new developments was small, fuzzy death creatures a la Gremlins. One of the more notable (and hysterical) of these was the blast of a movie Critters. WHERE IT CAME FROM: Although written in the early 80’s, Critters is often mistaken for a rip-off of 1984’s Gremlins, much to the chagrin of director Stephen Herek (who also directed The Mighty Ducks, millennials). It may, however, be because of the success of Gremlins that New Line Cinema brought the fuzzy little Critters to the screen. WHY WE LOVE IT: This movie is A BLAST. Critters is a sci-fi horror film about fluffy man-eating aliens with big mouths that make funny noises. Who doesn’t want to watch that?! Critters is also an essential 80’s horror film because of the amazing synthesizer soundtrack, unbelievable 80’s clothes (my god the shoulder pads), and general aura that makes it more essentially 80’s
