Last night the new series ‘Scream’ premiered on MTV. The story line was something we have seen so many times before, a teenager is singled out and their life made a living hell. The cool kids extend an invitation for a party and then, blah, blah, blah, you know the story. I kept waiting for the moment when the series to show some sort of resemblance to ‘Scream’ the movie. The only thing the two have in common is the name and the killer wore a mask. The dialogue and the story line were both shallow. I found it difficult to get interested in the episode. My verdict? The ‘Scream’ series is about as entertaining as watching paint dry. Would I recommend it? No.

A couple with three young children thought they had purchased their $1.3M dream home in Westfield, New Jersey, but what should have been a happy time in their lives, has turned into a real nightmare. The family has been driven out by some psycho who is sending terrifying letters to the family, someone who refers to themselves as “The Watcher”. It may sound like the plot of a horror movie, but for this family, it’s very real. The letters they have received includes statements like “I was put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming.” and “I asked the [previous owners] to bring me young blood … once I know their names, I will call to them and draw them to me.” The letters have continued to become more disturbing with statements like “I am pleased to know your names now and the name of the young blood you have brought to me,” it continues “Who has

Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo is a highly rated book which begins an 8 volume series of the same name. The series has 4.4 of 5 stars, so I went in expecting good things. This is what I found… Book Description: It was a flu season like no other. With the H1N1 virus running rampant throughout the country, people lined up in droves to try and attain one of the coveted vaccines. What was not known was the effect this largely untested, rushed to market, inoculation was to have on the unsuspecting throngs. Within days, feverish folk throughout the country convulsed, collapsed, and died, only to be reborn. With a taste for brains, blood, and bodies, these modern-day zombies scoured the lands for their next meal. Overnight the country became a killing ground for the hordes of zombies that ravaged the land. This is the story of Michael Talbot, his family, and his friends: a band of ordinary people trying

A few days ago I stumbled across a tweet from the account for a movie ‘The Catalyst’. I was curious, and upon further investigation, I found a website address. On the website, which is still under construction, I found a place where people can submit their true ghost stories by a post or video. I couldn’t resist, I submitted my tale (yes I believe in ghosts), then I continued on, to the part of the site dedicated to the movies, Alan Fine intends to make into a franchise. The movie has an interesting plot. In ‘The Catalyst’ a couple, challenged with fertility problems, finally have the daughter they longed for, but as a child the daughter is killed in a freak accident. After several years the couple is blessed with another daughter. When the girl turns the same age at which they lost the first daughter, strange paranormal activity begins to plague the family. The smallest accident, the drop of

I just picked up Dark Horse Comics’ Midnight Society: The Black Lake #1 and after reading this review it should be evident that you should too. This book is the brainchild of Drew Edward Johnson who serves as the creator, writer, and artist. It also features Lizzy John as the colorist and the lettering of Steve Dutro. It is the first part of a four part miniseries and debuted on June 10th 2015. Johnson has skillfully combined the elements of steampunk, action-adventure, horror, and mystery into a tale that is hard to put down. The mixture is a wonderful concoction with flavors reminiscent of The Rocketeer, Indiana Jones, Hellboy, B.P.R.D. and the like. It pays homage to a lot of different genres and does it well. That and the name alone reminds me of my favorite Nickelodeon show, Are You Afraid of the Dark?. The masterful storytelling is complemented and furthered along with out of this world artwork, pun intended.

Kevin Smith, known for his films such as ‘Mallrats’ and ‘Clerks’and of course for his role as “Silent Bob”, one half of the awesome duo of “Jay and Silent Bob”, set out a few years ago to make “True North Trilogy”, which included ‘Tusk’ (2014) and ‘Yoga Hosers’ (2015). Smith has now announced his plan for the final film in the series, titled ‘Moose Jaws’. Smith made the announcement on the 40th anniversary of ‘Jaws’ by posting a picture of himself standing next the mechanical shark (nicknamed “Bruce”) used in ‘Jaws’. “Jaws, the movie that made me fall in love with movies, turns 40 today,” He continued “Next year, I make my homage entitled #MooseJaws. It’s Jaws, but with a moose.” Very little is known about ‘Moose Jaws’ at this point, except that it is said that in one scene, the Moose eats a child. We can expect ‘Moose Jaws’ some time next year.

‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay has announced his role as co-producer on a new upcoming remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic, ‘The Birds’. That’s right, even Hitchcock is not safe from Hollywood’s latest obsession, remakes. Dutch film-maker Diederik Van Rooijen will be directing the new version for Mandalay Pictures, who is sharing co-producer status with Universal and Michael Bay’s company Platinum Dunes Production. In the original film a seaside town is swarmed by huge flocks of seagulls and crows, who reek havoc on the town and it’s residents. ‘The Birds’ starred Tippi Hedren as Melanie Daniels, a San Francisco socialite. The rumor is, Naomi Watts is in negotiations to play the role of Melanie in the new version. When Hedren heard that a remake was in the works, her comment pretty much summed up exactly what we are thinking, “Why would you do that? Why?”.
