The ‘Tales From The Crypt’ Game That Was Never Released
So apparently, according to YouTube channel CryptTube, back in the ‘90s there was a good amount of work done on a ‘Tales From The Crypt’ video Game. Artist Mike Vosburg claims to have done quite a bit of work on the now defunct project. The art concepts show that the game would have focused on classic tales from both the show and the comic as well as original stories. John Kassir himself even confirmed (in typical Crypt Keeper way) that he had done voice work for the game. When asked if her remebered working on the game, he replied: “Sure Do…..was a HEAD of it’s Slime! Sad it never saw the light of SLAY!” Even Mr. Kassir is unsure of why the game was never released, but one day the people in charge will hopefully recognize that people want more ‘Tale From The Crypt’ in any media possible!

Bring Home ‘The Cured’ This Summer
Writer-director David Freyne‘s The Cured, starring Ellen Page (Inception), is headed to Blu-ray and DVS this Summer from IFC Midnight. In the film, “The world has been ravaged for years by a virus that turns the infected into zombie-like cannibals until a cure is at last found and the wrenching process of reintegrating the survivors back into society begins. Among the formerly afflicted is Senan (Sam Keeley, This Must Be The Place), a young man haunted by the horrific acts he committed while infected. Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Ellen Page, Juno), Senan attempts to restart his life — but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart? Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and a hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption. Page stars along with Sam Keeley (Anthropoid, In the Heart of the

‘My Name Is Death’, The Perfect Dark Humor Webtoon
Again on Line Webtoon, I’ve discovered a little gem, a comic by Spanish artist Rumbo (Josué Rumbo) titled My name is Death. The comic follows the grim reaper himself and the shenanigans that arise as he works. Death himself looks a bit different from what we think of him, he’s a little guy with a wicked sense of humor that resembles Deadpool (who makes an appearance in one of the comics.) The comics are a perfect mix of silliness, pop culture references, and at times social commentary. When the series first started the drawings looked different but as the series progresses the drawings become cleaner (thanks to donations from readers) Overall, My name is Death is a funny little comic strip that updates weekly if you like dark humor, sarcasm, and even a little cuteness; this comic is for you! You can read it HERE, you can also check out My name is Death on Facebook and Twitter and you

Short Film Review: Shower Sharks (2018)
A shark obsessed dude attempts to write a screenplay as a shark (I predict I’m going to be writing that word a lot in this review) doc plays on the boob tube. Before long a news bulletin interrupts the show warning of a plague of shower sharks…sharks that emerge from drains to menace the populace…and you can guess what happens next! Shower Sharks gives the viewer exactly what you would expect; an absurd and enjoyable bite sized bit of nonsense in the Troma style. Film maker (and lead actor)Noah “Shark” Robertson has a keen eye (two in fact) for delivering off-the-wall horror comedy, and you can tell he has a ton of passion and heart. As for any negatives to be found here (and this isn’t really a “bad” thing…more of an observation of something that stood out); I’m fairly certain that Robertson just filmed an actual EMT call guerrilla style for the film’s coda…this is some real Corman level

Writer-Director Joston Theney Announces New ‘Axeman’ Comic
Axeman is gearing up for battle against “Satan’s Whores”. This morning, Axeman trilogy writer and director Joston Ramon Theney (interview) confirmed the release of #SinningWorks’ first comic book, scheduled to hit shelves this Fall. The one-off comic follows two surviving characters of Axeman 2: Overkill as well as a returning character from the original Axeman film. It’s been a wild ride to get to this point – never having worked in comics before but luckily I’ve had a great artist to work with,” Theney said. “This story was originally just a simple bridge between the events of OVERKILL and ABSOLUTION but has become so much more. It continues the journey of Kesha and Sunshine and shows you that there was more than meets the eye to their relationship and their relationship with Denise from the first film. “Theney went on to say, “The comic also paves the way for a more substantive conclusion to the trilogy for the upcoming AXEMAN

Sex, Drugs, Murder: ‘The Happytime Murders’ Red Band Trailer Is NSFW!
The long-awaited horror-comedy The Happytime Murders is receiving a lot of hype following its first look trailer debuted at CimeaCon. Critics took to social media to declare that the puppet movie is an “instant cult classic” as well as mentioning the movie’s sexual situations and its raunchiness but loved it nonetheless. STX has now shared the red band trailer for The Happytime Murders and it is insane! The for adults only movie even features a puppet orgasming all over an office. The movie is “set in the underbelly of a Los Angeles where puppets and humans co-exist. Two clashing detectives, one human (Melissa McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together to figure out who is brutally murdering the former cast of “The Happytime Gang”, a beloved classic puppet show.” The human cast includes Melissa McCarthy who stars alongside her fellow Bridesmaids alum Maya Rudolph and Mitch Silpa along with Ryan Gaul (Identity Thief), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games),

Movie Review: Monochrome (2018)
Emma Rose (Jo Woodcock) is a young woman who finds herself in dire straights after becoming entwined in one of your huge financial cock-ups (of the nation wide variety) thanks to her boyfriend socking away millions in knicked pension funds. To escape that hot mess she blows like the wind to the bucolic English countryside where she accidentally discovers (as one does) that she has a real passion for killing wealthy landowners (who employ her for “casual work”). Enter Gabriel Lenard (Cosmo Jarvis), an investigator with synesthesia (you know, like he can see sounds and the like) hired by the British Crime Agency to track ol’ Emma down. Will Gabriel, who’s condition allows him to see things at crime scenes others can not, be able to find Emma and recover the loot? Monochrome is nothing else if but original. The inclusion of the synesthesia (though under used…see below) is a nice element not found in your normal serial killer yarns,
