Today, news has come from MacFarlane himself that a new presently unnamed director has come aboard the project and is now finishing up on the script. Right now it’s being polished by another writer-director from the script that we handed him. MacFarlane told BeTerrific during an interview before continuing to say, “He’s supposed to be done with it here in a few weeks, and then once we sort of go back and forth and tighten it up a little bit, then we’re going into Hollywood and we’re gonna get a yes or no.

Are hellhounds real? A recent archeological find may prove that some truth may be found in the legends. According to the site Ancient Codes, the remains of a 7-foot tall beast has been uncovered in the ruins of Leiston Abbey in Suffolk and may be connected to a centuries-old legend of a beast known as the Black Shuck. The name Black Shuck is believed to originate from the old English word for ”black demon”, the beast appeared as a harbinger of death and was described as a ‘giant hellhound with red burning eyes’. 500 years later, archeologists have allegedly uncovered the remains of the Black Shuck in a grave just thirty inches deep and surrounded by pottery. According to initial calculations the remains belong to a “male dog” standing at least seven feet in height and weighing around 200lbs. According to local folklore the Black Shuck attacked during a brutal storm on August 4, 1577, at Holy Trinity Church in

There have been many times that I’ve gotten my hopes up when it comes to big-budget horror movies, only to feel let down. Well, that certainly is not the case with the Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed 2019 horror flick Ready or Not. It left me feeling almost giddy. Few horror films give me that feeling these days.

And you thought your in-laws were bad. Ready or Not

When I heard about the supernatural ship film Mary I thought to myself, ‘Oh, this is going to be good.” I wasn’t wrong. Mary, set in the present day has to be inspired by the true story of the famous ship the Mary Celest, while it is not confirmed, the stories have too much in common not to be related. So, before we dive into my review let me tell you the true story of the Mary Celeste, an American ship discovered adrift in the Atlantic on December 5, 1872. Last seen on November 7, 1872, when it set sail from New York, it was found by the Canadine Brigatine Dei Gratia at partial sail.
