Pet Sematary Director and James Wan Reviving "The Munsters" with New Series

Pet Sematary Director and James Wan Reviving “The Munsters” with New Series

A chilling twist is coming to America’s favorite monster family. Universal is reimagining the classic 1960s sitcom “The Munsters” with “1313.” The title is a not-so-subtle nod to the family’s iconic address at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. This reboot promises a unique blend of the original sitcom’s zany humor with a dash of horror. Deadline reports that it is helmed by James Wan‘s production company, Atomic Monster, known for its chilling films like The Conjuring and Malignant. The series is directed by Lindsey Anderson Beer, who we interviewed about her horror prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. “1313” reimagines the sitcom that captivated audiences for two seasons (1964-1966) and continues to entertain. The original series offered a satirical look at 1960s American suburbia through the eyes of a lovable monster family. The series centered on Herman (Fred Gwynne), his vampire wife Lily (Yvonne De Carlo), their werewolf son Eddie (Butch Patrick), and Lily’s vampire father Grandpa (Al Lewis). Their “normal” cousin Marilyn (Beverley

Movie Review: Deathdream (1974) - Blue Underground 4Kk/Blu-ray combo

Movie Review: Deathdream (1974) – Blue Underground 4Kk/Blu-ray combo

Deathdream is the kind of flick that begins featuring the horrors of ‘Nam and the value of a man that can carve a roast all in equal measure (for the record, Roastmaster General’s son Andy is who we see buying the farm in Vietnam). Anyway, the family learns their son is dead and begins grieving… except later that night ol’ Andy comes home alive and…well alive anyway (after hitching a ride with a trucker who winds up dead after some high-larious antics at an all-night diner). Over the next few days Andy acts weird A.F.; he’s quiet, pale, and only offers a small smirk to anyone that talks to him…plus he picks up some new hobbies like wandering around cemeteries in the dead of night and simultaneously beating down androgynous kids who karate chop him with one hand while strangling a dog with the other (an underrated talent to be sure). Well, it turn out ol’ Awesome Andy is some
