Lead Sarcophagi Buried Beneath Notre Dame Opened… Sorry, No Vampires.

After a fire tore through the iconic historical site Notre Dame in Paris, France, archeologists were shocked to discover, including those in charge of the famed church, a pair of sarcophagi made from lead. This caught the imagination of many as previously mentioned, even those in charge of Notre Dame and who know its history well, were not aware that anyone was buried under the floor of the popular tourist destination. A few days ago, scientists have finally opened the sarcophagi. Sorry internet conspiracy theorists, no vampires, no lost biblical treasure, all that was inside were the skeletal remains of noblemen, one of which archeologists were able to identify quickly thanks to an epitaph that was preserved within. The owner of the one lead coffin belonged to Antoine De la Porte who died December 24th, 1710 at the age of 83. De la Porte was a Canon, a clergyman who was quite wealthy, in his lifetime he commissioned several works

Miles Doleac Sinks His Teeth Into A Role In Universal’s ‘Renfield’ Starring Nic Cage

Genre staple Miles Doleac has just joined the cast of Universal’s upcoming movie Renfield and will star opposite Nicholas Cage and Nicholas Hoult. The film centers on Renfield (Hoult), who has grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Cage) lackey. The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even redemption when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina). Doleac, an actor, writer, director, and producer, will play an elder vampire hunter in the film by director Chris McKay, scripted by Ryan Ridley. Producers are Skybound Entertainment’s Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst. Doleac is known for films such as The Hollow, The Dinner Party, and Demigod and has appeared in series such as “Legacies,” “Lovecraft Country,” “Containment,” and “The Purge.” Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Bess Rouss co-star in Renfield coming to theaters on April 14, 2023.

Shorts Reviews: RINGWORMS, SHADOWBAN, and FAMILIAR (Another Hole in the Head Film Festival)

Ringworms Director Will Lee’s Ringworms (2022) is a blast — an insane, splatterific, mind-boggling trip that finds a young woman named Abbie (Faye Nightingale) on what was supposed to be a romantic weekend trip to a cabin with her boyfriend Jacob (Skylar Okerstrom-Lang). When she discovers that he plans to propose, she goes through doubts about whether she wants such a commitment with him. Meanwhile, something’s going on in the cabin basement that will make her worries about marriage seem miniscule in comparison to what goes down. Lee, who cowrote the screenplay with Ian Hedman, packs plenty of thrills, grue, and even some laughs into this high-energy affair that boasts solid direction and acting, along with some fantastic practical effects. Shadowban The modern phenomenon of social influencing crashes headlong into folk horror traditions in writer/director Shane W. Brennan’s solid Irish horror short Shadowban (2022). Fiona (Fiona Bergin) is livestreaming her side hustle deliveries on a lonely country road on Halloween

Game Review: ‘Evil West’

When the sun sets in the west, you would think the day’s done right? Nope, that’s when the work picks up in Flying Wild Hog’s game, Evil West. A big thank you to Focus Home and Flying Wild Hog for the reviewing opportunity! Evil West takes place in an alternative 19th-century timeline where players take on the role of Jesse Rentier, a vampire hunter with the secretive Rentier Institute that hunts down the vampire threat in the US. Someone behind the scene among the vampires wants to rage all-out war against humans and attacked the Rentier Institute head-on, forcing Jesse to take on the role of the organization’s leader and rebuild the institute. Now onto the game itself! The controls are easy to learn and adapt to. When it comes to sound, the voice acting, ambient sounds, and music are all good but the mixing should be tweaked as even though I lowered the volume on everything else and raised

‘Renfield’ Star Describes Upcoming Movie As “An Action-Comedy”

This April, you can sink your fangs into Universal’s upcoming Dracula-inspired movie Renfield, starring Nicholas Hoult (“The Great,” Mad Max: Fury Road, Warm Bodies) as Renfield and the one and only Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) as the infamous vampire Count Dracula. During a recent talk with THR, Hoult teases the film’s take on Dracula, describing it as an “action-comedy.” “I’m excited for people to see what he’s done,” Hoult tells the outlet. “It’s original, but it’s steeped in a lot of history, Dracula history and folklore. So it’s exciting, even though it’s a very bizarre, elevated tone for an action-comedy. So I’m excited for it.” “I don’t think there’s two more iconic things than Dracula and Nic Cage,” Hoult also tells THR. “So, to put those together and be in scenes with him and just watch all the inspiration and all the things that he brings to the character, the fun of it, the

Actor-Director Noah Sagan Talks Vampires And Family In Our ‘Blood Relatives’ Interview

After watching the new vampire movie Blood Relatives, a unique combination of horror, comedy, and family drama, I had the opportunity to pick the brain of its writer-director and actor Noah Sagan (Knives Out) about the film and what makes it so unique. In Blood Relatives, “A vampire’s loner lifestyle is thrown into disarray when a teenager shows up claiming to be his daughter, and she’s got the fangs to prove it. On a road trip across America’s blacktops, they decide how to sink their teeth into family life.” Kelli: “I really enjoyed your movie Blood Relatives. It’s an interesting combination of vampires, horror and family drama, and comedy mixed together.” Noah: “Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. I tried to throw the kitchen sink at it [laughter].” Kelli: “It’s great. How did the movie come to be? Noah: “Honestly, it all started with my becoming a father really. I had spent my career being an actor and having also
