Trent Reznor And Atticus Ross To Release An Early ‘Halloween’ Treat
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, my Little Monsters. We often associate this day with a movie series that began with a murderously vengeful mother and evolved to feature a death dealing juggernaut…his name was Jason. However, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will be releasing a music track on Friday October 13th, that is associated with another beloved day we will all be observing at the end of the month – Halloween. Reznor and Ross are taking a stab (get it…STAB) at covering the iconic theme from John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, Halloween. The track is being released by way of Sacred Bones and Reznor’s own record label, The Null Corporation. A sample track had been available earlier at Amazon (I know this, because I listened to it), but has since disappeared and is now replaced with an error message that is accompanied by a random picture of one of the “dogs of Amazon”. Hopefully, after the build up I’ve seen

Film Adaption Of Stephen King’s ‘The Talisman’ In The Works
Stephen King adaptions are everywhere these days (not that we’re complaining). Between IT, Gerald’s Game, ‘Mr. Mercedes’, ‘The Mist’ which has been canceled after one season, and others upcoming projects, King is dominating the genre. We can now add another adaption to the list. Variety is reporting that Josh Boone (New Mutants, The Fault in the Stars) has signed on to pen the script for the film adaption of King’s ‘The Talisman’ produced by Frank Marshall (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jason Bourne). Written by King and Peter Straub in 1984, ‘The Talisman’ follows the young Jack Sawyer, whose mother is dying. Jack learns that if obtains the talisman he can cure her disease. He must embark on a journey through a parallel world. King penned a sequel to the tale titled ‘Black House’ featuring Jack as a grown man working as a homicide detective, so there is a potential sequel there if the first film is well received.

Earlier this year I visited the set of ‘Stan Against Evil’ where they were filming their second season. I had the pleasure of meeting Mick Ignis, a talented actor who plays many of the demons and witches on the hit show. Last night, I was able to catch up with Ignis about his roles in the supernatural series which premieres on November 1st. Horror Fuel: “I absolutely loved the first season of ‘Stan Against Evil’. Can you tell us a little about your roles in season one?” Ignis: “I’m so happy to hear that! ‘Stan Against Evil’ is an absolute blast to shoot and it was such a pleasure to drop in for the first two episodes last season. I got to introduce audiences to our first monster, a vindictive witch named Stella Stanas, who’s the first to take advantage of the town demon-hunters death by killing her husband Sheriff Stan Miller…fortunately the only thing she ends up killing is

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: ‘Friday The 13th’ Contest
Here we are, my Little Monsters, not even two full days away from Friday October 13th. We only experience a Friday the 13th in October every six or seven years, depending on whether it’s a leap year, so I figured I would take this opportunity to celebrate a wonderful Final Girl of the Friday the 13th franchise by offering up a prize to be given away on Friday the 13th. As horror fans we have all experienced, albeit vicariously, the ordeal required to survive Friday the 13th and be the Final Girl of her respective chapter. So let’s take a look back at the harrowing experience of one miss Ginny Fields. Friday the 13th Part 2 took us all back to Crystal Lake…well, to a camp near it actually. This is where we met Ginny Fields, who was played by Amy Steel. She was one out of a group of counselors, who were making preparations to a summer camp in

‘Origin Of Everything’ Explores The Link Between Columbus And Cannibals (Watch)
Christopher Columbus and Cannibals? How does the adventurer connect to flesh eating natives? PBS Digital Studios has just tackled the subject in the latest episode of their series ‘Origin of Everything’, hosted by Danielle Bainbridge. “How did Christopher Columbus invent the idea of “Cannibals?” While evidence of people who eat other people existed long before Columbus, the idea of tribes of “savages” in the jungle who hunt other people for food was truly birthed with Columbus. He is even the first person to ever use the word “Cannibal” to describe such people. The problem is, no such people really existed in the Caribbean islands where Columbus landed. But the myth of the savage Cannibal took on a life of its own and became a common way to excuse colonization and slavery. How did it happen? Watch the episode to find out!!!” Also be sure to check out the first episode of ‘Origins of Everything‘ which delves into creepy clowns. Subscribe
