Back in 2014 we warned ‘Walking Dead’ fans that Negan was coming. In the season 6 finale we finally got to meet the man, the legend. With his bat Lucille in hand, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) stepped out of an R.V. and brought most of the cast, and the fans, to their knees. While people have watched the scene over and over, one version of the cliffhanger was not available until the season box set was released yesterday. The uncensored last scene featuring the f-bomb-loving mad man in all his comic-like glory is one of the special features on the Blu-ray/DVD set. It sucks that you to have to buy the complete set to access the scene filled with 23 f-bombs. Oh, wait, you don’t have to. It was leaked early this morning and we have it. Tune in this October for the seventh season of ‘The Walking Dead’. WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE ! Other Articles You Might Like: Casting News

Yes, you did read that headline correctly. The UK’s Mirror is reporting that a few days ago a 53-year-old man named Peter Bayliss was convicted on child cruelty charges for forcing a child to watch George Romero’s classic zombie film ‘Night of the Living Dead’. The charges have come 20 years after the night he showed the film to the girl, 6 at the time, as a punishment for misbehaving. Bayliss’ alcoholism was blamed for his lack of judgement at the time of the incident. He was convicted and sentenced by the Shrewsbury Crown Court, receiving a six-month suspended sentence, as well as 160 hours of community service. There is no word to why it took 20 years for charges to be filed. This was not sustained abuse but you, quite deliberately, made a child watch a horror film as a punishment for behaving like a child.” The court said to Bayliss. “And she suffered, not in a long-term psychological

“They all float down here” Although I wasn’t born when the original IT hit theaters, I mostly definitely grew up in horror movie loving family so word got around. The new Pennywise when first talked up seemed to me like a great idea but frankly I was skeptical on how the character was going to look (I even went as far as too try and find out before the reveal!). We recently reported Pennywise’s new look and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I like how they didn’t try to make a new actor walk in the footsteps of Tim Curry, by letting the costume be totally different. Thumbs up IT 2017…so far.

Scream’s Tuesday night season 2 finale brought SCREAM fans from all over to witness the un-masking of MTV’s Ghost-Face. The season 2 finale managed to homage Kevin Williamson’s SCREAM 1, 2 and 4 (he wrote some of it) and leave fans still clamoring for a season 3 (which is yet to be announced). If you stood tuned for my recaps (which some were equipped with reviews) you’d know I have been pointing my finger at Eli towards the end of the season right before the big un-masking which turned out to be [SPOILER ALERT] Keiran. What had fans still pondering as to if this was it, for SCREAM. Letting us know it wasn’t, Keiran got a phone call in prison by who claimed to be the resurrected Brandon James (the Killer everybody was copycatting, who was involved with the Lakewood massacre 20 years prior). Season 3 is still up in the air. Ratings have been not as great as I

Horror has never lacked for mad scientist tales, and the 80’s was no exception. One of the greatest and most classic of these 80’s tales is Re-Animator. Re-Animator is a good old-fashioned horror film. It has mad scientists, dead bodies coming to life, black cats, etc. It’s fun, it’s scary, and it’s completely deserving of this #Odeto80sHorror. WHERE IT CAME FROM: Because of it’s extremely classic themes and elements of Cosmic Horror it’s not surprising that Re-Animator is loosely based of a H.P. Lovecraft story: Herbert West – Reanimator. Stuart Gordon (of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids fame, for all you millennials) co-wrote and directed this 1985 adaptation, produced for an estimated budget of about $900,000. WHY WE LOVE IT: This movie is FUN. If you’re into horror, this movie is a theme park. It’s tone, dialogue, and special effects all reach for you to have a ton of fun watching it- and it doesn’t disappoint. Let’s talk special effects
