Ice Nine Kills’ New True Crime Book ‘The Silver Scream’ Explores Killers That Inspired Horror Icons

Heavy metal band Ice Nine Kills announces the book The Silver Scream exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking, true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas. Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. The Silver Scream reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death, and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael, and the rest became real.

Waxwork Records Announces Killer ‘M3GAN’ Soundtrack

She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family… Waxwork Records has just announced that they are releasing the M3GAN Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Anthony Willis. And it is killer! From Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, the record-breaking hit centers on M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence: a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen, watch, and learn as she becomes a friend, teacher, playmate, and protector for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences. Produced by Jason Blum and James Wan, M3GAN is directed
