“The Originals” Spin-Off Adds Two To Its Cast

For a while there we were thinking that The CW had staked all its vampire series with “The Vampire Diaries” over and “The Originals” ending this season, but good news came via Variety that the spin-off of “The Originals” is still alive. According to the site, “The Vampire Diaries'” Matt Davis and “The Originals” actress Danielle Rose Russel have joined the show as Alaric Saltzman and Hope Michaelson. The two will star along with Quincy Fouse, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, and Aria Shahghasemi. The spin-off is still in development and has yet to be ordered to series by The CW, but we are keeping our fingers crossed. The CW’s president, Mark Pedowitz, previously revealed during the 2017 Television Critics Association summer press tour that the network had discussed a Hope-centered spin-off with “The Originals” and “The Vampire Diaries” creator Julie Plec. There’s been many conversations about the character Hope,” Pedowitz said. “Nothing has come out of it yet. Julie really

Larry Fessenden To Return To The Director’s Chair For ‘Depraved’

Legendary horror actor-director-producer Larry Fessenden is poised to make his return to the director’s chair with his Frankenstein inspired film Depraved. New details recently came to light during an interview Fessenden had with Daily Dead. Depraved, “a re-imagining of Mary Shelley’s timeless classic Frankenstein, centers on Henry, a field surgeon suffering from PTSD after combat in the Middle East, who creates a man out of body parts in a makeshift lab in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The creature he creates must navigate a strange new world and the rivalry between Henry and his conniving collaborator Polidori.” In a funny way, I want to make all the classics again,” Fessenden told the site. “I’ve made a vampire movie. I want to make a werewolf movie, but Frankenstein is one of the greatest creations of pop culture. The original version is a masterpiece, and oddly enough, it’s a story that hasn’t been done that well since. And it’s often attempted. I feel there’s a

Horror Games That Need A High Definition Remake

Many games in recent times have been given an HD reboot to be compatible with more recent gamming consoles, Resident Evil (Biohazard) has been given a complete makeover with an all new HD game called Resident Evil (Biohazard) HD Remaster that’s available on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One. This would be the game’s second makeover so I thought why stop with this game? There are some horror games in the past that I think are due for an “HD Remaster” makeover too. So here are a few games that I feel deserve a reboot into the HD age in no particular order. Alone in the Dark (PC, 1992) There is a game by the same title that was made in 2008 that’s part of the long game series, I’m talking about the original game that you played on DOS in the 90’s (real 90’s kids know this!) the game is actually considered the first survival horror game to be

Amazing actor Doug Jones will play the role. Jones As Count Orlok Jones’ most recent role was that of the creature in Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, but you might also recognize Jones from Hellboy as Abe Sapien or in Pan’s Labrinth as the “Pale Man”. The original, considered the first true vampire film ever made, is an unauthorized adaption of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.

Three Films Based On One Book, Who Got It Right?

In August of 1938, readers of Astounding Science-Fiction Magazine beat the summer heat by reading a chilling science-fiction story that took them to the heart of Antarctica where a group of scientists was trapped along with a shape-shifting extraterrestrial. That story was Who Goes There?, by Don A. Stuart, the pen name of John W. Campbell Jr. The story was later reprinted in book form where Campbell used his real name. The novella eventually spawned three movies, the first one in 1951 titled The Thing from Another World that was followed up by John Carpenter’s 1982 cult classic The Thing (it spawned a video game as well as a series of comics.) which was followed up by the 2011 prequel using the same name. Three movies based on one book. The film industry is known for taking a book and making it into a film with mixed results, usually negative. So the question remains, out of the three films based

Movie Review: The Gruesome Twosome is an Essential Addition to any Gore Hound’s Library!

In Herschell Gordon Lewis’ (The Godfather of Gore) The Gruesome Twosome we are introduced to an elderly woman and her mentally handicapped son; a duo with a strange hobby, namely scalping comely young lasses and selling their hair as wigs to meet customer demand (well, we learn of this after an introduction featuring two talking Styrofoam heads…because yes…). Anyway, before long a snoopy co-ed named Kathy begins weaving clues together and discovers the hair-raising truth, but can the demented duo be stopped before they kill again? Filled with off-kilter performances, a tongue in cheek story line, and crude yet effective (and groundbreaking) gore effects, The Gruesome Twosome is a ton of goofy, gory, fright flick fun! It also runs a lean hour and eleven minutes so it rock n’ rolls along at a good clip (even with padding such as the slumber party dancing and KFC chomping mash up, and Kathy’s ultra-shitty detective work…oh and the potato chip and fruit
