You would think it would be great to live in a house that has been featured in a major movie, but that’s not always the case. The owners of the house where ‘The Conjuring’ was filmed are suing Warner Bros. after a horde of overzealous fans have trespassed on the property. According to the documents obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Gerals Helfrich and Norma Sutcliffe or Harrisville, Rhode Island, are attempting to hold the studio and filmmakers responsible for a “Conjuring-instigated siege of their property.” Since the film was released in July 2013, the couple has faced “threats of physical violence and harm, sleepless nights, and worry that one day, one of the many trespassers will commit an act of destruction, violence, or harm,” the suit alleges.

Alterna Comics has just announced that a new three issue mini-series called Corktown will debut in the Spring of 2016. The comic was co-created by Mario Candelaria, Scott Ewen, and Dave Ganjamie. Candelaria will serve as the writer. Ewen will do the line work and Ganjamie is providing the tones and shading; as well as, colors for the covers. It is about the ghost of a recently deceased Detroit PD detective who is trying to destroy a blood thirsty killer that happens to be her own reanimated corpse. It was described as “a twist on vampires and ghosts set in the gloriously tragic backdrop of a Detroit winter.” I am already excited about this comic and can’t wait for it to debut.
