We all know that AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ is a HUGE success. And of course with success comes the desire for people to get what they believe they deserve. The executive producers of TWD have filed suit against AMC. Frank Darabont, the show’s creator, filed a lawsuit back in 2013 following his termination halfway through the second season. Darabont claims that AMC denied him profits promised from the series by the network. Now, the show might really be in trouble. Comic book creator and series co-creator Robert Kirkman along with executive producers Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Glen Mazzara have filed suit against AMC making similar claims as Darabont. The group are challenging the amount AMC pays its in-house studio, AMC Studios, THR reports. ‘The Walking Dead’ is not the only series that could be affected. Both ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, and ‘Talking Dead’ are also included in the suit. This case arises from a major entertainment conglomerate’s failure

HE is Coming HE was coming and I knew HE would find me. I looked around the house frantically. Panicked, I rushed around looking, searching, back and forth looking for a place to hide. Time was running out. HE was coming and I knew HE would find me. I lived in the house, I had lived in it my whole life, but I did not know where to hide. I propelled myself silently and anxiously down the hallways, seeing and omitting every spot passed. HE was coming and I knew HE would find me. The cold sweat was starting as I went through each room. My first thought was under the bed, but I had seen enough movies to know that that was a ridiculous spot. Not only would HE see me, but could only see him coming from one direction…and HE could come from anywhere. “Not the bed,” I told myself. The voice I spoke to myself with in

If you’re like me, vacation planning usually involves researching at least one ghost tour wherever I happen to be taking the family on that particular trip. The great news for horror fans is that there is certainly no shortage of tours out there in virtually every destination you’d want to visit. I thought it might be fun to include an overview of some haunts for top vacation destinations from time to time, so with any luck this article will be the first of many “haunted destination” entries. But where should we start? Well, I’m a Floridian, so I thought we’d start with the southern-most point of the continental United States and work our way up. So without further ado, I present to you our first haunted destination, and one of my favorite vacation spots on the planet: Key West, Florida. The Florida Keys make for an awesome road trip. Crystal clear waters are full of some of the best snorkeling,

With the film industry determined to remake/reboot every genre film we ever loved (at least that’s how it feels), it seems no classic is off limits. It was just a matter of time before John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London was added to the loooong list of revamped films. We reported back last year that Max Landis, John’s son, is remaking his father’s 1981 classic (at least it is staying in the family). Robert Kirkman and David Albert, the producers of ‘The Walking Dead’ are the source of the idea to do the remake and will produce under their Skybound banner. Max recently spoke with IMDb about the project: I’m gonna write it and I think I’m gonna direct it,” Landis said. “I like the script I wrote, you know? I’m halfway through it right now, I hope it turns out great.” He went to make it clear that he understands that fans are concerned and that he is

Fans and critics alike were heartbroken when NBC announced back in 2015 that after only three seasons they were killing Hannibal. The series’ creator Brad Fuller has continued to tell fans that the series could be revived at some point and that the series is not completely dead. Last night on Twitter Fuller was asked about the series’ status and he had an interesting answer. Conversations couldn’t start until 2 years after the final airing of season 3,” he said. “[The De Laurentiis Company] has started those conversations. This takes time.” Both Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy have already made it clear that they would love to sink their teeth into a fourth season. I know Hannibal fans all have their fingers (and dinner forks) crossed that we will get another taste of the amazing, dark, and breathtakingly stunning series inspired by the cannibalistic character from Thomas Harris’ novels that introduced the world to Dr. Hannibal Lecter in 1981 in
