Mad Cave Studios Announces ‘Escape from New York: Escape from Chicago’ Comic Series

He’s back, he’s still wearing the eyepatch, and no—he’s not dead. Mad Cave Studios is bringing John Carpenter’s ultimate antihero back to the printed page this fall with Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago. Launching this September, the new continuation series officially expands the dystopian, synth-scored world of the 1981 cult-classic film. Steering the escape pod for this adventure is writer Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, No One), with artist Val Rodrigues (The Pale Knight). Together, they’re throwing Snake Plissken right back into the kind of high-stakes, maximum-violence chaos that defined ’80s sci-fi. Sweet Home, Dystopian Chicago You know the rules: once you go in, you don’t come out. Unless, of course, your name is Snake Plissken. This time around, Snake is scraping by as a “coyote.” He’s smuggling desperate people and highly illegal contraband across the heavily armed dead zones between fractured prison territories. It’s a miserable, brutal gig. But when a high-paying client hires him to extract a

Apple TV+ Just Renewed the Hit Genre Series ‘Widow’s Bay’ for Season 2

Pack your bags and prepare to be haunted: Apple TV+ has officially renewed its hit horror-comedy “Widow’s Bay” for a second season! And we are totally here for it! The announcement comes at the perfect time, dropping just ahead of the highly anticipated season one finale on Wednesday, June 17. Clearly, Apple is so obsessed with this island nightmare that they’ve also locked down creator and showrunner Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters, The Heat) to an exclusive, multi-year overall deal. The series, led by Emmy winner Matthew Rhys, quickly secured a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (even holding a flawless 100% score at its debut). Critics are already calling it “the show of the summer” and “better than Martha’s Vineyard”—though, to be fair, Martha’s Vineyard has significantly fewer ancient curses. Rebranding an Island (With Terrible Cell Service) Set 40 miles off the coast of New England, Widow’s Bay follows Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), a man trading Soviet espionage (The Americans)

Slices, Sanity, and Satan: A Sneak Peek at ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ Episode 3

If you’ve been following AMC’s “Certified Fresh” horror anthology The Terror: Devil in Silver, you already know that New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital isn’t exactly a five-star wellness retreat.

Ahead of its premiere this Thursday, May 21, on AMC+ and Shudder, a new sneak peek from the third episode promises that things are about to get significantly weirder—and much more chaotic. Episode 103: “Che Guevara” — The Ultimate Asylum Field Trip Nothing says psychological horror quite like an institutional pizza party. In this Thursday’s all-new episode, the baseline level of dread at New Hyde skyrockets. Here is what’s on the menu: -The Gaslighting Continues: The hospital staff flatly denies that Pepper was attacked. This makes him question his own reality. -The Silver Door: A fellow patient

A New Clip from “The Terror: Devil in Silver” Arrives Ahead of its Premiere

The wait for one of the year’s most anticipated horror returns is nearly over. And now, AMC has finally unveiled a new clip from “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” and it confirms what we’ve suspected for a while: Dan Stevens has officially completed his evolution from “Downton Abbey” heartthrob to the internet’s favorite genre-bending powerhouse. Stevens begins by looking like a reliable, working-class stepdad. But because this is an installment of The Terror, domestic bliss is short-lived. By the end of the footage, he’s being forcibly admitted to a psychiatric facility that makes a traditional haunted house look like a five-star resort. The third chapter of AMC’s acclaimed anthology is set to premiere on AMC+ and Shudder, and it is a six-episode masterclass in atmospheric dread. Check-In at the Hospital from Hell Stevens stars as Pepper, a blue-collar mover who finds himself trapped within the walls of New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. The official synopsis describes New Hyde as a “dumping

Movie Review: Primate is Brutal and A Bloody Good Cautionary Tale

If you’ve ever looked at a chimpanzee and thought, “That looks like a delightful companion for my suburban home,” please watch Primate before you make any life-altering mistakes. Because as this film vividly demonstrates, chimps aren’t pets—they are compact, hairy engines of destruction that will treat your face like a scratch-off lottery ticket. Practical Magic and Blood-Soaked Realism Let’s talk about the absolute standout here: the special effects. In an era where everything is smoothed over with mediocre CGI, Primate goes “old-school” in the best way possible. The effects are mostly practical, and they are impressive as hell. We’re talking tactile, “I-can-almost-smell-the-copper” gore that makes the brutality feel dangerously real. And when I say gore, I mean this rabies-carrying critter literally rips someone’s jaw off, and we see it all! I actually had the chance to sit down with the Director of Photography, Stephen Murphy. We peeled back the haunting imagery from the poster and his insights into the production,
