Renowned Paranormal Investigator And Psychic Lorraine Warren Has Passed Away
January 31, 1927 – April 19, 2019 Today, the paranormal community mourn the heartbreaking loss of Lorraine Warren, perhaps the most well known paranormal investigator and psychic of the 20th century, along with her husband Ed Warren. The announcement was just made by a close family friend and representative of the Warren estate, Tony Spera. It is with deep sadness that I must announce that Lorraine Warren has passed away. She died peacefully in her sleep at her home last night. The family requests that you respect their privacy at this time. Lorraine touched many lives and was loved by so many. She was a remarkable, loving, compassionate and giving soul. To quote Will Rogers, she never met a person she didn’t like. She was an avid animal lover and contributed to animal charities. She was wonderful and giving to her entire family.“ Lorraine and her husband Ed were a pioneering force in the world of paranormal investigating, participating in

A First Look At Christian Volckman’s The Room
Filming has begun on director Christian Volckman’s (Renaissance) The Room starring Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion, Quantum of Solace, Vampire Academy) and Kevin Janssens (Revenge). Today we have a first look. In the film, “Kate and Matt are a young couple in their thirties in search of a more authentic and healthy life. They leave the City to move into an old house in the middle of nowhere. Soon they discover a secret hidden room that has the extraordinary power to materialize anything they wish for. Their new life becomes a true fairytale. They spend days and nights indulging their every desire for material possession, swimming in money and champagne. Yet beneath this apparent state of bliss, something darker lurks: some wishes can have dire consequences. That Room could very well turn their dream into a nightmare when it gives them what they’ve been waiting forever and that nature was denying them…” Written by Christian Volckman, Eric Forestier, and Vincent Ravalec, the

Shudder, AMC Networks’ streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, announced today that it has picked up all rights to writer-director Issa Lopez’s acclaimed feature Tigers Are Not Afraid where you can see it later this year.

Danzig Sinks His Teeth Into New Vampire Speghetti Western
Musician Glenn Danzig of Misfits has been staying between reunion shows and his new projects, a long-awaited album of Elvis Presley covers and a movie. That’s right Danzig is writing and directing his own film. Get this, it’s a “vampire Spaghetti Western”! A new post on Danzig’s official Facebook page today mentioned both projects. We know it’s a Spaghetti Western with Danzig in the director’s chair, and we know casting will soon begin. At this time that’s all that we know about the mysterious film. Don’t get his projects confused. Danzig’s vampire western is not the same project announced last year, an anthology based on his comic series Verotik.

The New ‘Child’s Play’ Trailer Is Brutal AF
The trailer for Lars Kleveberg‘s Child’s Play remake is here giving us a look at the new Chucky voiced by Mark Hamill.

Movie Review: Ragmork (2019)
When I first heard of Ragmork, I wasn’t sure just what kind of picture it would be…the title conjured images of a fantasy epic in my mind (though that may just be how my fevered imagination fires)…but images released certainly didn’t indicate that would be the case. So just what is Ragmork about? Viktor Graves (Tim Novotny), a fucked up kid, from a fucked up family, who has grown up into a fucked up adult (as is often the way), walks out of his cubicle-hell of a job and rolls back into the town where he grew up in rural Ohio. Now devoid of the dysfunctional family Viktor begins searching for answers in his life, drifting from one encounter to another before being attacked by a feral man named Ragmork (John Bradley Hambrick), whom our hero gets a bit stabby with. That’s when things get really bizarre (which is saying something considering the waking nightmare tone the flick possessed before)

“Swamp Thing” Emerges From The Muck In First Teaser
Earlier today we reported that “Swamp Thing” was in jeopardy as is the streaming network DC Universe. The series, originally set to feature 13 episodes has been cut down to 10 with rewrites ordered. The studio suddenly halted production before the last 3 episodes could be filmed. Within the past few hours, DC Universe has released a teaser trailer for “Swamp Thing” which I imagine was to boost fans’ interest along with giving fans confidence. The first teaser gives us our first look at Swamp Thing, played by Derek Mears (Friday the 13th (2009), Men in Black II), and he looks a lot like the comic book character he was based on by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. Jennifer Beals, Virginia Madsen, Ian Ziering, Will Patton, Andy Bean, Crystal Reed, Kevin Durand, Henderson Wade, Jeryl Prescott, and Maria Sten also star. “Ash vs. Evil Dead” writer Mark Verheiden and IT co-writer Gary Dauberman penned the series’ script. As far as

Is “Swamp Thing” And DC Universe Dead?
The last time we reported on DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing” was set to premiere in May. Now, troubling news is being reported by Star New Online. According to the outlet, production on the James Wan-produced series has been shut down early, leaving the series’ future hanging in the balance. Star reports, “The currently in-production project is being shut down earlier than expected as its producer, Warner Bros., evaluates the future of its DC Universe streaming service, on which the series was scheduled to premiere on May 31, according to several sources within the local industry.” They went on to say, “Local crew members were notified of the unexplained development Tuesday night, and were told the project would wrap production on episode 10 then halt as writers and producers rewrite an ending. Initially, the show was scheduled to film 13 episodes through May.” Cutting the season short? Rewrites? That doesn’t sound good for “Swamp Thing” and its stars, Jennifer Beals, Virginia

Movie Review: Room For Rent (2019)
Widow Joyce (Lin Shaye) was left high and dry with her ass in the air after her husband died and left her with nothing except the house they lived in…a house she gets the bright idea to turn into a bed and breakfast joint. This plan seems solid, but Joyce’s personality and quirks manage to piss off each and every guest of her establishment. Enter Bob (Oliver Rayon) a mysterious drifter (do they ever come in any other flavors?), who Joyce quickly becomes absolutely obsessed with…like the psycho-stalker style of obsessed, which goes about as off the rails as you would imagine, especially when a comely ex-guest Joyce has befriended makes the scene… Directed by Tommy Stovall from a screenplay by Stuart Flack, Room For Rent comes off like one of those thrillers you’d find on Lifetime…but is that a bad thing? Kind of. Devoid of mystery and suspense (we know who’s responsible for all of the menace right from
