Actor Gregg Daniel and I sat down to talk about some of his many roles, including Truth or Dare, which recently opened in theaters, and his recurring role on series like “True Blood“. Gregg got his start on the stage while at NYU’s Tisch Scholl of the Arts before going on to appear in over a hundred roles in films like Hancock, Spider-Man 3, and Hollywood Homicide. You might also recognize him for his appearances in “Grey’s Anatomy”, “True Detective”, “Castle”, “Weeds”, or “Ghost Whisperer.” Horror Fuel: “Where did you find your inspiration for your portrayal of Reverend Daniels in True Blood?” Gregg Daniel: “I grew up in the church. My father was very involved in the church. We went to church every Sunday. I went to Sunday school for an hour, then we’d go to the service. So, I have a long line of being involved with the church as well. In fact, I thought that I was going

Fox has been cleaning house, canceling shows like The Exorcist and Lucifer, just to name a few. Today, another series got the ax. We all wanted to “believe” that “The X-Files” would be back for good, enough for at least a little while, but that just isn’t the case. Fox is closing down “The X-Files”, at least for now, network CEO and co-chair Gary Newman revealed today during a conference call with reporters. The news comes only two months after the eleventh season’s finale, which star Gillian Anderson stated would be her last. Following the finale, the series’ creator Chris Carter told TV Line, “I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more X-Files, in some shape or form. I think there are lots more stories to tell and ways to tell them. I’m leaving this as a giant cliffhanger, and Gillian has announced that sh’s not coming back. Hard-core X-Files fans know there have been no real endings on the show.”

Last month we were saddened to have to report that Syfy had killed their plans to air the “Tremors” television series starring Kevin Bacon. Now, somehow, the trailer for the pilot has found its way onto the net and it makes us even more bummed that the series isn’t happening. While the plot for the show was kept mostly under wraps we do know that it was meant to be a continuation of the original film with Bacon reprising his role as Val McKee in Perfection, Nevada. Fred Ward would have reprised his role as Earl Bassett. P.J. Byrne (Rampage), Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead), and Emily Tremaine (The Blacklist) were set to co-star. The pilot episode was directed by Vincenzo Natali, the director of both Cube and Splice. Andrew Miller (The Secret Circle) wrote the script. Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think.

It’s been a bad day for the Devil, Fox killed not one, but two great horror series, “The Exorcist”, and “Lucifer”. Needless to say, fans are upset. After two wonderful seasons, the folks at Fox gave The Exorcist the ax. The show followed two priests (Ben Daniels, Alfonso Herrera) on a mission to exorcise the demons that plague a different family each season. Lucifer, the devil himself wasn’t immune to Fox’s reach. After three seasons the show is done, which is a shame. You can’t help but love Tom Ellis’s cheeky character. Hopefully, before the end of this season, we’ll find out if Lucifer gets the girl (Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German)), if D.B. Woodside’s Amenadiel will complete his mission, and if Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) will find peace. Those aren’t the only two shows to get killed by Fox this week. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “The Last Man on Earth” were also canceled.

But just when we thought it was all over, Adult Swim comes through with a massive 70-episode order! That’s right, 70! The massive renewal comes along with an overall deal the network signed with the show’s creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, according to Variety. The series follows Rick, a sociopathic genius, and his grandson Morty as they go on insanely dangerous adventures throughout the multi-verse.
