We reported earlier this week that there was a problem with the new ‘Tales From the Crypt’ series and that it might be dead. Bloody-Disgusting posted an update that revealed that the series is currently in limbo due to some issues with the right to the revamped series. The update came from TNT themselves.

The comic book series ‘Dylan Dog’ was adapted into feature film back in 2010 under the title ‘Dylan Dog: Dead of Night’, starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as Dylan. The film was released without much buzz, but turned out to be pretty good. Now, Italian horror writer Tiziano Scalavi, who was behind the genre classic ‘Cemetery Man’, is bringing ‘Dylan Dog’ to life in a new independent series. The film follows “Dylan”, a man who investigates paranormal and supernatural cases. The upcoming series will follow the tracks as the movie, according to Bloody-Disgusting. The pilot episode, titled “Dream of the Living Dead”, will be directed by Kevin Kopacka (Everyonce), off of the script he co-wrote with Alex Bakshaev.

Christmas is only a few days away. We should be giving you the gift of good news, but unfortunately that is not the case when it comes to the latest update on the reworked ‘Tales From the Crypt‘ series from M. Night Shyamalan and TNT, which is one of the most anticipated genre projects of 2017. Over at Bloody-Disgusting they are reporting that a source close to the development process told the site that the new series is in trouble, if not dead and buried already. Supposedly, there is a budget issue that has caused the series to stop dead in its tracks. Now, TNT has not confirmed the rumor. So there is still hope for ‘Tales From the Crypt’, until the series is officially canceled. The anthology series – meant to be part of TNT’s new horror block along with the new series ‘Time of Death’ and ‘Creatures‘ – got the green light back earlier this year. The series

This past Friday, we witnessed an eventful season finale of ‘The Exorcist‘. Father Tomas finally rid the Rance family of the demon Pazuzu after decades of suffering. We saw Father Marcus saw the pope from a possessed priest. In the final moments of the episode we learn that Father Tomas and Father Marcus will team-up and continue the fight against evil. So, where do we go from here? Will FOX renew the series for season 2? At the moment we are waiting to find out. Bloody-Disgusting spoke with the series’ creator Jeremy Slater about ‘The Exorcist’ and where the show will go if it gets a green light for season 2. A potential season two would find Marcus, Tomas and Bennett tasked with helping a new family or a new case of possession. That doesn’t mean we’ll never see any of the Rances again, but I think the fans would feel disappointed and cheated if we simply brought Captain Howdy

Few things spooked me as a kid like the true tales of murder and mystery on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’, hosted by Robert Stack. The stories features on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ were very real, making the series much more terrifying than any horror film I came across. They explored cold cases, unsolved crimes, murders, missing persons, criminals on the run, and reports of paranormal activity. FilmRise has acquired the worldwide rights to the show. The series is finally headed to Digital HD and streaming platforms, as early as this month. We’re pleased to be releasing this celebrated series to a large audience of fans both old and new,” The CEO of FlimRise, Danny Fisher stated. “Unsolved Mysteries is an American tradition that FilmRise is excited to preserve.” One of the reasons that I find ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ so frightening is that one of the cases on the series hit close home.
