Kenneth Branagh reprises his role as Hercule Poirot from Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express. “Set in post-WWII Venice on All Hallow’s Eve, Poirot, now retired and living in his own exile, reluctantly attends a seance. But when one of the guests is murdered, it is up to the former detective to uncover the killer again.” “It’s a supernatural world where the normal rules do not apply,” Branagh told Variety. “Murders and ghosts are irresistible to a man with that mustache and that nose for sniffing other culprits.” A Haunting in Venice is now available on VUDU from 20th Century Studios.

Robocop was arguably one of the best films in the 80s, with its kitschy premise (that can only work in 80s films), memorable moments, merch, and memes. Over the years, video games have been made based on the film series, but admittedly, some of them did not catch the true essence of the film. Teyon and NACON teamed up with MGM to make what is possibly the best Robocop game to date, this is Robocop: Rogue City. Robocop: Rogue City takes players back to the mean streets of Detroit where a new mysterious crime lord is setting up shop and all the gangs of the city are auditioning to be part of the new criminal enterprise by ramping up their crime sprees, and only Robocop can help stem the tide of crime. Now, onto the game itself! Robocop: Rogue City‘s controls are your standard FPS kind which makes it easier to learn and remember as you start playing the game.

Halloween is a day when ghosts and ghouls come out to play, and danger lurks around every corner. There is a horde of legends and stories that serve as cautionary tales, such as keeping a Jack-O-Lantern lit, giving out candy, not disrespecting the dead, and parents checking to ensure sweets aren’t tainted or contain razor blades or needles.
