Metal And Mayhem – Deathgasm 2: Goremegeddon Enters Early Production
Back in December we learned that a sequel was in the works for Deathgasm, one of 2015’s best and most creative horror films. We reported then that writer-director Jason Lei Howden posted a photo on Instagram of the finished script, stating that gorehounds will be in for a big treat. “There is literally more gore in the first ten minutes than the entire first #deathgasm.” Howden continued “If you kinda liked the first, this will make your head implode. If you thought the first Deathgasm was puerile, juvenille and dumb Goremageddon will melt your face off and force you to barricade yourself inside, safe with some Terrance Malik of Coldplay.” Now, Deathgasm: Goremegeddon has moved into the early stages of production. We can expect Goremegeddon to rock theaters sometime in 2017. For those of you who haven’t seen this heavy metal, head-splitting gore fest, I recommend that you do so immediately. The film follows a band who have unwittingly unleashed

As of today it has been confirmed that both the Gaga and Basset, who will be directing a few of the episodes, will be returning for the still unnamed, sixth season.

As we grow closer to the season six finale of The Walking Dead things are getting tense for the group. In the first teaser for episode 12 “Not Tomorrow Yet”, we see Rick talking with the group in Alexandria about his plan to take the fight to Negan.

Things have suddenly taken a dark turn when a moment latter we hear a woman come over the loud speaker saying that they have Maggie and Carol.

Slimer Is Back In The First Ghostbusters Trailer
The first full length trailer for Paul Feig’s new female driven revamp of Ghostbusters is here via Sony. In the trailer ghosts have overrun the city, including Slimer. The Ghostbusters, led by Melissa McCarthy’s character, learn that someone is amplifying the city’s paranormal entities. Spirits of criminals from New York’s history are back and it’s up to the Ghostbusters to save the city. The ghosts are a bit different than the ones in the 1984 version. In the original ghosts were made with practical effects. The new film relies heavily on CGI and it shows. Another difference between the two films is that the ghosts not only interact with the cast in the new film, they are also able to possess people. McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones star along side Chris Hemsworth, Michael Kenneth Williams, Andy Garcia, Matt Walsh and Pat Kiernan, with cameos by many of the original cast including Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd,
