Beloved by horror fans and rife with sequel potential, we sure would love to see more Psycho Goreman down the road, but does the creator/director of the film feel the same way? Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew Podcast, Psycho Goreman director Steven Kostanski provides some exclusive tidbits about the future of the badass character. “I want to follow that up with something that delivers, and so the more people love the movie and want more from it, the more I’m like ‘oh shit, I’ve gotta deliver a thing.’...

After years of start-stop development, a series adaptation of the “Y: The Last Man” comics finally came to the “FX on Hulu” portal just last month, and alas, it’s already over. We’ve learned this weekend that FX on Hulu has made the decision to not go forward with a second season of “Y: The Last Man,” with the series now seeking another home. Showrunner Eliza Clark said in a statement today, “We have learned that we will not be moving forward with FX on Hulu Season 2 of Y: THE...

Warner Bros are really is giving up the goods today.

Gotham Knights takes place after the apparent death of Batman, and the four members of the Bat Family are taking up his cause to clean up Gotham’s underworld, which just so happens to include the much-rumoured Court of Owls, a secret...

The latest in Netflix’s crowded month of Halloween offerings, Night Teeth brings a stylized vampire tale that favors thrills over chills. An unwitting protagonist finds himself a fish out of water when dragged into the ultra-cool glitz and glamor of Los Angeles’s nightlife and thrust into the middle of a vampiric coup d’etat. But it keeps its most exciting elements relegated to the background, or worse, in favor of an anemic romance and familiar carpe diem narrative. Benny (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.) lives with his Abuela and doesn’t have much social life. When...

Yesterday we told you about new Universal Monsters action figures from Jada Toys, and today we learned that BendyFigs also has its own interpretations that have hit retailers across the country. I first caught wind of BendyFigs, finely crafted collectible figures from The Noble Collection, while attending this year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. On display were a series of four Universal Monsters: Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, and Bride of Frankenstein. BendyFigs alerted us today that these figures are now making their way to retailers,...

Late Spanish director Iván Zulueta’s lost cult horror film Arrebato, or Rapture, is currently in its first theatrical run stateside after opening abroad in 1980. Cited a favorite by filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar (The Skin I Live In), the new 4K restoration of Arrebato delivers arthouse psychological horror to the masses; only the horror here is more on the phantasmagorical, meditative side. While the vampiric nature of addiction pumps through this film’s veins, it’s the compulsive thrill of cinema that wreaks the most havoc. B-Horror director José (Eusebio Poncela) is washed up, both for inspiration and...

Welcome back to part-two of my interview with Adi Shankar, creator, producer, writer, and director on The Guardians of Justice (which made its debut at Cannes this week and will release on Netflix next year). Though the show takes shape in the form of a superhero narrative, its scope goes beyond that of generic superhero storytelling. GoJ is everything from a murder mystery to that of a political satire, weaving together a plethora of wild and intriguing characters. If you happened to have missed part-one of the interview, you can...

While both critics and audiences weren’t kind to M. Night Shyamalan‘s Old, I found it quite enjoyable and look forward to his next foray into horror. It was announced Wednesday night that Shyamalan’s next is officially titled Knock at the Cabin, which Universal Pictures will release in theaters on February 3, 2023, a few weeks earlier than originally slated. This sets the film up for a strong box office run throughout Valentine’s Day weekend and keeps it at distance from Disney’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In a previous social post...

There are a ton of toy companies that have released action figures based on the classic Universal Monsters and now Jada Toys is getting into the game with four brand new authentically-licensed figures of their own. The 6” figures and their packaging are modern takes on Universal Pictures’ 1930s-1950s horror characters Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Each with 20+ points of articulation, the figures come with character-specific accessories. Moreover, Jada Toys is set to release a reverential Frankenstein’s Monster figure in...

Introductions are never easy. Striking a balance between making a good first impression but also the impression you intended to set still very much eludes me.  “Did I talk too much?”  “Did I talk enough?” “Have I presented myself in a way that this person will now spend the rest of their days resentful of my existence?”  My name is Jay Krieger, and my coping mechanism for skirting past these awkward instances has always been finding common ground amongst shared interests. An equalizer that gives both parties a foundation of...

The trailer for Scream is finally here and with it comes the first tease of an actual plot: this time around, Ghostface is killing people related to the legacy characters. As we know by now, the fifth Scream is fully canonized with Neve Campbell returning as Sidney Prescott, David Arquette & Courteney Cox as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, and even Marley Shelton‘s Scream 4 character Deputy Judy Hicks is back. The trailer gives us our first look at the survivors in action, being summoned back to Woodsboro by Ghostface and whoever...
