Those who like a little murder with their sun and fun having something to look forward to on June 20th with the release of Death Pool. While I’m not sure if hot young Pool Cleaners exist outside of porno’s, Death Pool turns one into a killer with its main man Johnny Taylor (god that’s a great name for a killer.) I’m not sold yet on a Slasher based around drowning (the gore hound in me needs some blood to wet my appetite), but Death Pool doesn’t look half bad. There’s a fine line between goofy and scary with films like this though, so we’ll just have to wait until the 20th to see whether Death Pool will make a splash or sink to the bottom.

I am more than thrilled to be able to announce that Universal Studios has added more titles to their upcoming ‘Dark Universe’ collection. Through my life I have always been drawn to the truly tragic characters in horror…the monsters who were almost forced to become that way due to their situation – or were simply misunderstood. The top three on my monster/villain list are Frankenstein’s Monster, Quasimodo, and The Phantom of the Opera. In fact, I drew so many pictures and read so many stories about these three tragic characters that my parents legitimately started to worry. We already know that Javier Barden will be playing Frankenstein’s Monster, but I cannot hide my excitement at the announcement of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ and ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ being added to the ground-breaking collection of redone horror films. Both have been played to perfection by the legendary Lon Chaney and his silent performances will be tough to beat, but

Welcome back my Little Monsters. If it’s Wednesday, you all know it’s time to show a little love to one of our wonderful Women of Horror. This week’s lovely and talented lady, Neve Campbell, is a twofold scream queen…I shouldn’t have to explain what that means. Neve is a product of our neighbors to the north, having been born in Guelph, Ontario. One could say that the desire to perform was in her blood from the start. Her father was a high school drama teacher and her grandparents on both sides were involved in the theater. Neve’s first love was dance, and after seeing a performance of The Nutcracker at the age of six, she enrolled at Erinvale School of Dance to pursue her love of ballet. She would eventually study at the National Ballet School of Canada, where she would perform in Sleeping Beauty and the ballet that initially got her hooked, The Nutcracker. Unfortunately, Neve endured numerous injuries

Two very different trailers give glimpses into Conrad Faraj and David Matthew Cummings film ‘Fighting the Sky’. A movie about aliens, the first trailer give a feeling of hope and excitement with careful wariness about the future; the second trailer is straight up horror. My guess is that the searchers look for UFO’s (first trailer) and it goes drastically wrong (second trailer). “A group of young ufologists explore a series of apocalyptic sounds emerging from the sky. For years, all around the world, people have heard and recorded a thundering sound that emits from the sky without any origin or explanation. Even the scientists are stumped, folks, and the strange part is the media is ignoring it. Something is going on, and that something will be explored in Fighting The Sky.” Starring Angela Cole, Roger Conners, Matthew Ward, Nicole Ann Hicks, Alison Headrick, Jinette Faraj, Judith Faraj, Brianna Burke, Bailey Weaver, Logan Roberts, Ed Conrad, Larry Cahill. Right now, the

I remember the day I shook hands with the Devil The grip was weaker than I expected, but I still could not – did not pull away. His fingers wrapped around our palms slapping together chilled to the core of my soul. His grip grew stronger more comforting with each stroke as I signed the contract. The Demon I refused to let go until it was signed…I didn’t let the letting-go happen… As he held my right, I offered my left hand for the contract-signing blood to be drawn as my right was wrapped in the shake. A scoff burped from between his jagged teeth and with a shake of the head he pulled out another vial full of the blood of all the people I know and love. For the first time I hesitated, but a quick squeeze of my captured surrendered hand and I submitted again and dipped the pen. A large feather, a quill that Satan produced,

For fans attending a convention this might sound like a normal scene, a man carrying weapons and taking photos. No biggie right? Every fan convention and Comic Con sees their fair share of cosplayers (people dressed as characters from tv, movies or books). You don’t really think about all the bad things that could happen, like someone coming onto the convention floor armed to the teeth with real weapons. At the Phoenix Comic Con this past week, that scenario became a reality. News has been coming in over the past few days about the situation. The man, identified as Matthew Sterling, was carrying several weapons, including a knife, and four loaded firearms, including a shotgun, ammunition, various handheld weapons and was wearing body armor, according to the Phoenix Police Department. While Arizona is an open-carry state (legal to carry a firearm in plain sight) several of the weapons were concealed. According to a witness, 31-year-old Sterling was taking photos of

News keeps pouring in about the upcoming Predator film. Finally, a picture from the set has surfaced. I am positive there will be many more, but this first one is extremely exciting. Not only does it show Thomas Jane chilling on a tank, but it shows TWO Predators. This film is not a reboot. It takes place after the events of the first film, but will be focused in a suburban area rather than a remote jungle. We are told that the government is aware of the aliens and it appears as though a military task force is being sent to kill the predator. The cast for this R-Rated, promised-to-be-bloody movie looks amazing and now the prospect of a second predator. Keep posted here for more news. The Predator is scheduled for release on August 3rd, 2018

HP Lovecraft meets The Raid! That’s how AirPick Picture’s new feature film Black Site is being described. Color me intrigued! This upcoming film Starring Mike Beckingham (brother of Simon Pegg), and directed by Tom Paton ( Redwood, Pandorica), Black Site is the story of Ren Reid, orphaned as a child when a member of an ancient race known as The Elder Gods killed her parents. Twenty Years have passed and a fractured Ren now works for Artemis, an organization set up to contain and then deport these entities back to where they came from. When the Elder God responsible for Ren’s childhood tragedy is caught and brought to The Black Site for deportation, Ren must partner with an unlikely ally as the last line of defense against a wave of worshippers hell bent on releasing their deity back into the world. With the facility on lockdown and the enemy closing in, Ren has just hours to avenge her parents and

Kong might be king of Skull Island, but what about Broadway? Fans of musical theater will have the chance to find out with a King Kong musical set to release in the fall of 2018. Development started all the way back in 2014, but a number of behind the scenes issues kept the big apes pipes shut. Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and with composer Marius de Vries (La La Land) attached, Kong certainly has some A-list talent hanging onto it. But perhaps best of all, in the tradition of The Lion King and other animal heavy shows, Kong will be played brought to life with the wonders of practical effects, in this case a Giant Animatronic Puppet. Will King Kong live up to classic horror musicals like The Rocky Horror Show or Little Shop of Horrors? Only time will tell, but so far it has me pounding my chest in excitement.

2016 was an interesting year as far as horror went; if you wanted to be scared shitless all you had to do was watch the American election cycle. And filmmakers Scott Dunn and Gina Gomez might have just struck gold (or whatever color that rat wig worn by The Donald is) with Weird Folk, a film set on the eve of the 2016 election. Taking place in one neighborhood on one night, Weird Folk follows a couple different story threads; A teen makes a terrible discovery on the dark web A Clown stalks the neighborhood A Chiropractor experiences his worst nightmare And A couple finds themselves in the crosshairs of a killer It’s an interesting twist on your standard anthology, and god knows there’s plenty to poke fun at in the current american political system. Weird Folk is currently fundraising on Kickstarter, with several weeks left to make their goal. Whether your a liberal cuck or a conservative nut job,
