AMC’s “The Terror” Returns For Its WWII Set Second Season

AMC’s dark cannibalistic first season of “The Terror” (review) told the story of the doomed Franklin Expedition, ships frozen in the ice and a crew desperate to find a way to a better place and circumstances after facing a giant beast, hunger, violence, and mutiny. Fans were left wondering if the series would return for a second season. We can now report that the answer is yes. The series has been revealed as an anthology with its second season being a whole new subject. It also has as a new showrunner, “True Blood’s” Alexander Woo, Variety reports. Season two will tell the story of a specter that haunts the Japanese-American community during World War II in the homes of Southern California, the internment camps where many were held during the war, and in the Pacific theater. We are thrilled to announce a second season and dramatize one of the most chilling and important events of the 20th Century, guided by

A First Look At Fox’s New Vampire Series “The Passage”

Spoiler Free First Impression Of AMC’s ‘The Terror’

With its waining popularity, it’s safe to say that The Walking Dead now has competition, The Terror, the new series based on the novel written by Dan Simmons of the same name. The book, as well as the new series, is a fictionalized account of the infamous Franklin’s Lost Expedition The show’s two-hour premiere with the episodes Go for Broke and Gore. The series is being produced by Scott Free Productions which explains the better production quality over AMC’s other series, The Walking Dead. I’m keeping my impressions spoiler free because I feel that if anyone’s interested in watching this show should do so and judge for themselves, with that here’s my first impression. First off, some are criticizing the premiere as being a bit “slow” but any sailor will tell you, it’s the calm before the storm. The key thing this show is doing is telling a story of the two ships The Terror and Erebus stuck in the

Ridley Scott Planning Another ‘Alien’ Film

Fans of the Alien franchise will be happy to learn that even though critics weren’t a big fan of Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott has not given up on the franchise. In fact, he still has plans to make another film. Even though Scott has several projects underway, including re-shooting scenes from All the Money thanks to Kevin Spacey being replaced after sexual harassment allegations, and preparing for his next film which is an adaption of Don Winslow’s The Cartel, Scott has definite plans to continue the Alien franchise. Scott told EW about his plan: We are [going to make another], we are. I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff.” He continued, “People say,’You need more chest bursting,’ so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fit nicely. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that is more interesting. I think AI is

Florence Hartigan Talks UFOs And Her Role In ‘Phoenix Forgotten’ In An Interview

I recently sat down with Florence Hartigan to talk about her role in Phoenix Forgotten, produced by Ridley Scott. The film centers on a group of friends investigating a UFO sighting. Hartigan plays the role of Sophie in the sci-fi film based on a true story. The film was inspired by the real-life story of a group that went into the desert after mysterious lights were seen by hundreds of thousands of people on March 13, 1997 in the sky above Phoenix, Arizona. Known as “The Phoenix Lights”, the event is the world’s most famous and widely viewed sighting in history. The film centers on 3 teens who who go out into the desert shortly after the incident, hoping to document the strange events occurring in their town, but were never seen again. Now, on the 20th anniversary of their disappearance, unseen footage has been discovered, chronicling their final moments. Hartigan had this to say… Horror Fuel: “Can you tell

Horror Comic Kicked From Kickstarter After Raising $700 Over “Graphic Content”

Full disclosure- the comic in question is mine, the campaign was run by me, and we’re now up and running on Indiegogo for anyone interested, and one of our perks is actually writing your name on an egg and throwing it at a Kickstarter poster. We haven’t made back a fraction of what we’ve lost so far, but at least we’re still in the game. . While Horrorfuel readers might know me for my reviews, news, and general writings on the horror community, I’ve also been co-writing a comic for about a year now, Tales From The Whorehouse of Horror. Maybe you can guess from the title it’s not something you read to your kid before you tuck him in at night. And I fully admit, and in fact relish, that The Whorehouse of Horror is a book full of filth, depravity, and everything that mainstream sensibilities tell you to steer the fuck away from. But it’s also a book
