Sink Your Teeth Into This Update On The Lost Boys Television Series
We reported back in August that The CW was adapting the beloved classic ‘The Lost Boys’ for a new television series. There has been little news since, until today. Rotten Tomatoes talked with Rob Thomas, the new series’ showrunner, at a Television Critics Association panel this past Sunday where he discussed the show. He revealed that the series was being eyed for a seven-season run, each depicting a different decade where the vampires will be the only ones to featured in each. The first season will be set in “1967 Summer of Love Haight-Ashbury”, Thomas said. He also told the site that we might get to see a crossover from the series and the original film. Vampires stay the same age, so those vampires that we meet in the ’80s in the original ‘Lost Boys’ movies could exist in the 1960s version,” Thomas said. “We could run into them there as well. We might not even have to wait until

Matt Ryan To Reprise His Role As John Constantine In New CW Series
Fans were crushed when NBC canceled the fantastic, perfectly cast, supernatural series ‘Constantine’. They have continued to begs networks to revive the series and The CW was listening. The network has announced that they are bringing ‘Constantine’ back with Matt Ryan reprising his role, but there is a catch, the series will be animated. The show will air on The CW’s digital network, CW Seed. Deadline reports that five 10-minute episodes have been ordered so far. The new show will air alongside CW Seed’s ‘Vixen’, a character who has also made appearances on ‘Arrow‘ and ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’. This isn’t the first time Matt Ryan has appeared as an animated Constantine. The character also appeared in this year’s ‘Justice League Dark‘. With so many people interested in ‘Constantine’ I can’t help but wonder why a network hasn’t revived the live action series.

IFC Midnight’s new acquisition ‘The Lure’ is for those of us whose tastes have grown darker, but still have a love for women with fish tails. Agnieszka Smoczymska makes her directorial debut with ‘The Lure’ which is far from Disney’s ‘Little Mermaid’, these mermaids have a taste for flesh. Synopsis: The Lure concerns a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters who are drawn ashore in an alternate ’80s Poland to explore the wonders and temptations of life on land. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly aura make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers, but after one sister falls for a human, the bonds of sisterhood become severely tested. Starring Marta Mazurek, Kinga Preis, Michalina Olszanska, and Andrezek Konopka, ‘The Lure’ will make its debut in New York City at NSFW on February 1st, before its nationwide release.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe: The Character is Dead, but the Movie Thrives
I just finished the André Øvredal directed film The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Going into this movie, I was completely unaware of what it was about other than the brief synopsis on imdb.com. I chose to watch it because I had heard it was good and I am a fan of the starring actors. The film is obviously billed as a horror movie, but I didn’t know what type and, in the very best of ways, I didn’t expect what it was. I promise to give away no spoilers or even any hints about what to expect, but I strongly, strongly urge everyone to watch this movie. It did no rely of cheap thrills or over the top ridiculousness. My biggest issue with many horror movies is that the climax always ends up being some extravagant, highly destructive finale that doesn’t match the rest of the movie. This movie did not do that. The Autopsy of Jane Doe established a

Supernatural Gets New Trailer And Is Renewed
‘Supernatural’ fans may be suffering from withdrawals with the series on its mid-season break, but we have some news that may make missing Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Crowley a little easier to bare. The long-running hit series has been renewed for season 13 by The CW just ahead of its January return. Last we saw, the boys were in a bit of trouble after trying to take down the president, possessed by Lucifer. In the final moments of the mid-season finale Sam and Dean were arrested and thrown into the back of an armored truck. How are the boys get out of this mess? The episode was filled with chaos. Lucifer has found a new vessel (we don’t know yet for sure who) after Sam and Dean exorcised his soul with a nifty item on loan from the British Men of Letters. To make matters worse, the president’s assistant slipped past Cas and went on the run, pregnant with Lucifer’s

New Documentary To Explore The Legendary Werewolf Of Cannock Chase
If there is one thing I love as much as horror movies, it’s horror documentaries. One topic in horror documentaries that seems to be lacking is that of werewolves, but UK paranormal investigator Damon Simms is aiming to add a film on that very subject. Simms writes a column for the Stoke Sentinel titled ‘Supernatural Staffordshire’. When he is not writing he spends much of his time researching the unexplained mysteries and the myths that revolve around the area. One of the most interesting cases is that of the “Werewolf of Cannock Chase’, a creature that has had countless sighting in the county. Simms’ research on the werewolf is traced back the year 1975. That year a boy in the town of Eccleshall claimed that he used a Ouija board to strike a deal with the devil to change him into a werewolf. Soon after, the boy began to act strangely. He began acting like a wild animal and even

Can You Guess My Name?
I have been doing a number of articles on fairy tales. I think that the Grimm Brothers especially are phenomenal story tellers and the two of the originators of the horror genre. Their characters range from witches and anamorphic animals to princes and queens. In my opinion, however, one of their best characters is a little imp who appears when people are desperate and willing to make a trades of various value. This imp is called a manikin in the tale which is basically just an excessively small person with no other noticeable defects. Nevertheless, many interpretations of this character have him as anything from a slightly deformed person to an outright troll. If you haven’t guessed his name by now, you aren’t alone. In fact, that’s kind of an integral part of the story. Rumpelstiltskin is an iconic character and an extremely unheralded villain. The creature’s name itself may be why he is visualized as a troll of goblin.

A24 Set To Release The Long-Awaited Genre Film ‘The Blackcoat’s Daughter’ (AKA February)
A24 has announced the release the February of the long-awaited genre film ‘The Blackcoat’s Daughter’ from writer-director Osgood Perkins. The film made quite a splash at festivals in 2015 under the title ‘February’, which has now been renamed. ‘American Horror Story’ alum Emma Roberts stars along with Lucy Boynton, Kiernan Shipka, Lauren Holly and James Remar. “A deeply atmospheric and terrifying new horror film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Emma Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can. As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions,
