WARNING NSFW! J.J. Villard is one of the craziest animated series creators in the business. Producing wild, brutally twisted shows like King Star King has made quite a name for himself when it comes to shock value. Now, Villard is back to blow our minds with “J.J. Villard’s Fary Tales,” premiering on Adult Swim on Sunday, May 10th at 12:15 AM. Ahead of the premiere, I sat down with Villard to talk about his latest creation, his past hits, and what’s to come. Horror Fuel: “So, I watched the premiere episode of J.J. Villard’s Farytails last night. It’s twisted. Don’t take that wrong, I enjoyed it, but it is brutal.” J.J. Villard: “Yeah, it is [laughter]. Which one did you watch?” Horror Fuel: “I watched the episode with Boy Repunzel.” J.J. Villard: “Oh [laughter]. That one’s a trip.” Horror Fuel: “Yes it is. Brutality and gore seem to be a common thread with your latest few series, like with Fairy

One good thing has come out of people being stuck in isolation and quarantine, creative, funny videos. One of the best, in my opinion, is the recreation of the iconic dinner scene from Beetlejuice where the family and their friends break into a dance to the tune of ‘DAY-O’. The video posted by Gelsey Laurie features a father and daughter duo playing multiple roles along with some clever editing. The original scene can be seen playing in the lower right corner for comparison. And let’s be honest, they absolutely nailed it! The video is one of many posted by the duo. Other recreations include the Time Warp scene from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Academy Award-nominee Eric Roberts stars in writer-director Dana Ziyasheva’s (Defenders of Life) timely film Greatland. An acid trip gone wrong meets a neon nightmare in the new trailer, leaving you scratching your head and asking “WTF did I just watch?” An allegory of today’s world, saturated with current political references and shocking imagery, the film’s teaser got a life of its own on social media, with shares, comments and reactions on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube ranging from WTF?!!! and “What did I just see?! to “Which side are you on?” With one FB follower who summarized it perfectly: “Exactly what this world looks like to an outsider. Freaks and f*cks all heading down the rabbit hole.” The dystopian sci-fi feature also stars Nick Moran (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), J.P. Manoux (Veep), former boxing champion of the world Shannon Briggs, and horror icon Bill Oberst Jr. (The Devil’s Rejects), and up and coming young actors Arman Darbo (And Then

Tigers Are Not Afraid director Issa López is teaming up with Guillermo del Toro for a currently untitled werewolf western (yes, you read that right). López has now teased that the horror film as being very dark, very violent, and a ton of fun. During a conversation with Collider, she stated, “We started looking at options and he came to me with this idea for a werewolf western and I loved it because who would think of a werewolf western directed by a Mexican woman director? It’s such an odd combination. I would definitely want to see that! And I always want to make good movies that I want to see. So it is very dark, it’s violent and fun!” “Tigers Are Not Afraid is a haunting horror fairytale set against the backdrop of Mexico’s devastating drug wars. The film follows a group of orphaned children who are unexpectedly given three magical wishes. As they run from the cartel that

Thanks to the Coronavirus production has been put on hold for a lot of films and series. Unfortunately, “Stranger Things” is on that list. Production of season four has been put on hold, but that’s not going to stop the cast from giving fans a taste of what will come this season. In the season three finale, it appeared that David Harbour‘s Jim Hopper had sacrificed himself. Thankfully the season four teaser has revealed that our favorite father figure survived and now finds himself imprisoned in Russia while back in the U.S., “a new horror is beginning to surface, something long-buried, something that connects everything.” A video has just surfaced of David Harbour during an audience Q&A while at Liverpool Comic-Con revealing that the back story of Jim Hopper will be a major point this season. In season two, Eleven goes into the basement of the cabin and there’s five boxes, one of which has Brenner’s stuff from Hawkins Lab,
