Movie Review: Toys of Terror (2020)

David (Dayo Ade) and Hannah (Kyana Teresa) trick their family into participating in flipping a dilapidated Victorian mansion located deep within the wicked woods of Washington under the guise of that hoary ol’ chestnut; Christmas fuckin’ fun. This goes over like a fart in church with their eldest child Alicia (Verity Marks), but her younger siblings find a cache of creepy ol’ toys in an old playroom; so they are happier than pigs in the proverbial shit. Of course those eponymous terror toys are up to all manner of supernatural shenanigans; and before you can steal a kiss under the merry mistletoe, our heroes are up to their asses in diabolical danger that threatens to make them residents in that arcane abode for this Christmas and all of those yet to come! Directed by Nicholas Verso (working from a screenplay by Dana Gould), Toys of Terror is a tasty serving of holiday horror done oh so fuckin’ right as revoltin’

Holiday Horror Film ‘Toys Of Terror’ Aims To Make Toys Scary Again

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will have you on the edge of seats with their all-new holiday horror film, Toys of Terror. David and Hannah Cashman have promised their family a fun Christmas getaway, but when they arrive at a grand, old house in the snowy woods of Washington and are greeted by a familiar construction foreman, the kids realize their parent’s plan to make it a working vacation; renovating the place in the hopes of flipping it. Alicia, the eldest, is annoyed but the younger kids are soon distracted when, wandering through the creepy mansion, they find a stash of old toys in an abandoned playroom and take to them instantly. Before long, they seem to be inseparable from their new playthings, much to the consternation of their nanny Rose who, along with Alicia, senses that something in the house is not quite right. As stranger and stranger things start to happen, Rose and Alicia have a hunch that there

“Stan Against Evil” Gets The Ax

We have terrible news. IFC has canceled one of their best series, the horror-comedy “Stan Against Evil“, after just three seasons. The series’ creator Dana Gould made the announcement during his recent podcast The Dana Gould Hour. While the show’s cancelation has officially been confirmed, there is still hope according to Gould there is a chance that another network may pick up the series. Stan Against Evil, I am sad to report, will not be returning for a fourth season,” Gould stated. “It had a great run of three seasons. It’s not coming back. Will it show up in some other form on some other network someday? Maybe. But right now, as we like to say, it’s dead as Kelsey’s nuts.” He continued, “I’m very proud of the show and its fantastic cast: John McGinley, Janet Varney, Nate Mooney, Deborah Baker Jr., our great directors, Eban Schletter our great music person, Autonomous F/X, all the people that worked on the

Watch A New Clip Ahead Of Stan Against Evil’s Halloween Premiere

It’s Halloween and IFC is ready to give you a real treat, the season 3 premiere of their hit series “Stan Against Evil“! To celebrate we have a brand new clip where Stan and the gang meet two government agents, characters that give a nod the Mulder and Scully. That’s not all, we have the synopsis for the first two episodes that will air back to back, which Horror Fuel gives two big thumbs up. In fact, we think it’s the best season yet. The thrills and chills never stop this season which features giant moths, the undead, evil puppets, and more! John C. McGinley stars as the curmudgeonly retired police sheriff Stan Miller who faces evil alongside Janet Varney as Evie Barrett, the current sheriff of Willard’s Mill. The two are determined to wipe out the demons that plague their quaint New England Town, along with a slate of all-new guest stars. The horror comedy features Deborah Baker Jr.

From The Set Of ‘Stan Against Evil’ – A Glimpse At Season 2

The second season of IFC’s fantastic horror series Stan Against Evil is currently filming in Georgia. A few days ago, we had the pleasure of spending a few hours on the set. We not only got to meet several of the incredibly talented actors, but also Dana Gould the show’s creator, who is absolutely hilarious, Robert Cohen who directed four of the eight episodes from season 2, and several members of the special effects team. We also had the honor of exploring the set and watching an episode being filmed. When we first arrived we entered a large black tent with hoses pumping cold air into the structure. Upon entering we were instantly confronted by a a figure covered in a white sheet which was later revealed to be the Wraith from the first season. We shuffled into our chairs and soon Dana Gould and director Robert Cohen appeared. Gould automatically cracked a joke and the room erupted in laughter.
