You knew that Randy and the folks over at NECA would be cooking something up for Cold Iron Studios’ Aliens: Fireteam Elite at some point, and that time is now with the announcement of the first wave of figures based on the co-op shooter. Series One of the line kicks off with the Runner and Prowler Xenomorphs. Per Toyark, both figures stand 9 inches tall, feature bendable tails with 30 points of articulation, and will come in windowbox packaging. The two figures are expected to ship June 2022, and retail...

Everybody was doing it, so why not have a Dead by Daylight board game? And just like what happened with Bloodborne and Resident Evil, the Kickstarter for the Dead by Daylight board game by Level 99 Games has already crushed its goal since it launched early last week. Currently, the game sits at just over $546,000 of its initial $250,000 goal. The game is for 3-5 players, and as you’d expect, pits a Killer against a group of Survivors. The latter must move around the map, repair generators and escape,...

Gillian Anderson, who just signed a first-look deal with Netflix this week, has made no secret of the fact that she’s done playing Dana Scully, returning for the eleventh and final season of “The X-Files” back in 2018 but making it clear it would be the last time we see her on screen as the iconic character we first met, alongside David Duchovny’s Fox Mulder, in the 90s. Last we heard, the “X-Files” franchise is next going to take the form of a spinoff project titled “The X-Files: Albuquerque,” which...

Today, April 1, 2022, marks ELEVEN YEARS since the release of James Wan‘s Insidious, Wan and writer Leigh Whannell‘s third horror collaboration in the wake of Saw and Dead Silence. Much like Saw several years prior, Insidious proved to be a massive hit at the box office, further catapulting Wan’s career and launching a franchise that to date includes four movies. With Insidious 5 on the way soon, James Wan has taken a minute to celebrate the 11th birthday of the Insidious franchise, writing up a nice little retrospective over on...

Goosebumps: Say Cheese and Die! was originally published in November 1992 (Spine #4). The series adaptation later aired on Friday February 9, 1996 (runtime: 22 minutes). Whatever the number of copies of the Goosebumps book series that my elementary school library actually housed was decidedly not enough to meet the demand of its ravenous patrons. Checking the return bin for those spooky covers with their strikingly colored, pimply raised fonts was a daily affair, and one that was often met with disappointment. You’d think that with the fervor and speed that...

Ah, Ghoulies – the other, other Gremlins knock-off. This label is something of unfair misnomer, as the first Ghoulies film was in production at the same time as Joe Dante’s classic film. This little franchise that could sit on a porcelain throne of cult appreciation alongside other Tiny Terror pictures like Critters and Troll. The third outing for these diminutive devils sees them wreaking havoc in the realm of higher learning – summoned from a comic book (yes) by occult obsessed college professor Ragnar (genre alum Kevin McCarthy) during the...

For this installment of Phantom Limbs, we’ll be diving back into the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise with filmmaker Mike Mendez, the director behind The Convent, The Gravedancers and Big Ass Spider!. As Mendez noted during a recent appearance on the Best Films Never Made podcast, he had pitched to write and direct a sequel to the original 1997 film, a project which eventually became Danny Cannon’s Bahamas-set I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. While Mendez notes that he remembers very little of his pitch,...

Ten years ago, the 2D psychological horror Lone Survivor made its mark on the indie games scene. Often cited as one of the strongest spiritual successors to Silent Hill, the crunchy pixel art and haunting soundscape felt like David Lynch by way of SNES. The story follows an isolated man wearing a surgical mask trying to maintain his mental wellbeing while exploring his apartment complex as a horrifying infection mutates those around him into shambling monsters. In honor of the tenth anniversary, creator Jasper Byrne sat down with us for...

Ti West‘s new slasher movie X was released by A24 in theaters on Thursday, March 17, scaring up $4.4 million in its opening weekend across 2,865 theaters in the United States. In its second weekend of release, X has fallen to the #6 spot on the box office charts, with the current domestic total at $8,298,028 and the worldwide total at $8,690,944. It’s likely at this point that the film will eventually hit $10 million at the global box office, which is not too shabby for such a wildly niche...
