But NECA is making it happen regardless, with the upcoming figure based on Kane Hodder’s portrayal of Jason in Part 7: The New Blood! The figure includes two heads – masked and unmasked – as well as a slew of weapons including an ax, knife, machete, scythe and even the infamous weed...

James Gunn‘s version of The Suicide Squad will be quite a bit different than the 2016 take on the material in many ways, not the least of which is its MPA rating. Unlike Suicide Squad, released with a PG-13 rating, The Suicide Squad is coming to theaters with a hard “R.” The Suicide Squad has just been rated “R” by the MPA for… “Strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use, and brief graphic nudity.” Of course, this should come as no surprise to anyone who’s seen...

Family can be a thing, right? We love them dearly, of course, but every once in a while, they make us question how deep that love reservoir really goes. Family members can annoy us, criticize us, and show us the worst parts of ourselves. They know us the best; therefore, they know exactly where to stick the knife and which direction to twist it. Those are the moments that suck, and those are the moments The Witch turns into unfiltered dread. If we set aside the horror tropes, Robert Eggers‘ 2011 flick...

The sculpture is cleverly designed so that books can lean into both sides of Jack’s face, recreating the iconic “Here’s Johnny!” scene from the 1980 horror film right there on your shelf. Jack’s head is made out of clay, ceramic gypsum, and resin, and...

Okay, we had someone being creative in a field celebrating Resident Evil Village, and we had Lady Dimitrescu’s voice and performance capture actress revealed today. But what if we combined both? Senior Video Editor at IGN Kevin Cappiello decided to answer that question with a mock commercial for a Lady Dimitrescu action figure! Cappiello posted his efforts on Twitter. The result combines fan fascination with the tall vampire lady, as well as hamming it up with something you’d find with 90s action figure commercials. And yes, she’s huge. Resident Evil...

With this installment, we’ll be delving into Mark...

The original Faces of Death, released in 1978, is one of the most infamous films of all time, allegedly showcasing real footage of real death. In actuality, much of the footage seen in Faces of Death is staged, with gory special effects often being paired up with real footage to create the illusion of gruesome reality. Here in 2021, a brand new reboot is on the way. THR reports today that Legendary Entertainment is behind the Faces of Death relaunch, with Cam filmmakers Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber on board...
