Halloween’s David Gordon Green In Talks To Direct Blumhouse’s Reboot Of ‘The Exorcist’
When it comes to horror, one movie stands out as not only one of the most important but also the most frightening, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. While it has had sequels and series adaptations nothing has quite matched in nearly 50 years. But Blumhouse has set out to change that with a reboot (*insert head shake). David Gordon Green (Halloween, Halloween Kills) is reportedly in talks to direct the movie produced by Blumhouse and Morgan Creek. Jason Blum made a comment during an interview with Den of Geek, describing that the movie will be like the situation between the original Halloween and Green’s 2018 version. [It’s] going to be like David’s Halloween sequel,” Blum told the site. “I think it’s going to pleasantly surprise all the skeptics out there. We had a lot of skeptics about Halloween and David turned them around, and I think he’s going to turn it around with The Exorcist.” From what Blum said it sounds

Product Review: GWAR’s Buds Of Gods
GWAR. What’s the first thing you picture when you hear that name? The correct answer is a band of interplanetary barbarians and our masters, but a metal band that stood steadfast against time without blinking and inspired many metal bands is acceptable as well. Hearing GWAR and CBD together in one sentence probably does not come to mind right? Surprisingly it’s a thing and a true Scumdog would want to check out! I present to you GWAR’s Bud of Gods. I want to give a big shout-out and thank you to GWAR and Consequence for making this review possible. I was sent GWAR Bud of Gods aluminum dugout.

‘Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat’ Joins The Vestron Video Collector’s Series
A new edition to the Vestron Video Collector’s Series, the tongue-in-cheek vampire film Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, first released in 1989, arrives on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital) this August from Lionsgate and stars Bruce Campbell. The road to Purgatory is paved with good intentions, and Count Mardulak (David Carradine) wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s seeking atonement for centuries of human carnage, which is why he’s instructed Purgatory’s vampire residents to slather on SPF 100 sunblock, pursue daytime activities…and drink only synthetic blood. But some vampires don’t agree with Mardulak — they want the real thing — and if that means wooden bullets flying in a vampire civil war, so be it! Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat stars Golden Globe® nominee David Carradine (2005, Best Supporting Role – Motion Picture, Kill Bill: Vol.2), Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, “The Colbys,” A Prince for Christmas), Morgan Brittany (Gypsy, Gable and Lombard, TV’s “Dallas”), Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2,

“Good Omens” Gets Renewed Two Years After Finale
In a twist that we never expected, Amazon has renewed “Good Omens” for a second season after a two-years after season one’s finale.
