Over the past few months, there has been lots of speculation over who will be in the new Scream 5 reboot from Spyglass Media Group. There was even lots of talk of Scream 5 at the Mad Monster Party Scream Panel. Now we can confirm that David Arquette will reprise his role as Sheriff Dewey […]
It’s no secret that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCM) is my favorite horror film of all time. Since August 2018, when Legendary Pictures purchased the rights to the TCM franchise, I have been closely following the developments. Legendary Pictures has attached Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead) as the producer with Rodolfo Sayagues through […]
Al Capone’s name is synonymous with words like gangster, notorious, mafia, and Chicago. Capone’s life story is full of excitement and violence, but Josh Trank’s biographical picture Capone is not. Capone was written, directed, and edited by Josh Trank. The film stars Tom Hardy, Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon, Noel Fisher, and Kyle MacLachlan. I have […]
What does the directorial debut of Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst and the career revival of Josh Trank both have in common? Redbox made them possible. That’s right. They’re doing more these days than putting vending machines full of movies in front of your local McDonalds, Walmart, and other select retailers. While they have put together […]
Vampires cover some well-trodden fictional ground from Bram Stokers Elegant Count Dracula to teenybopper sulky but sparkly Edward and Bella of the Twilight series. Vampires have found their way into most of our consciousness one way or another.

Fresh off the heels of my not so flattering perspective of Hellboy’s history on the silver screen, here I am to talk to you about a brilliant pilot for a would-be Sci-Fi (no, not SyFy) channel original series. A pilot revolving around what I would regard to be one of Mike Mignola’s coolest original creations, […]
Okay, folks. Here’s one. I was working on a TV show called Switched at Birth. The storyline for Switched at Birth is, two mothers have babies that are switched at birth, and they raise these kids as their own. And then, when the kids are teenagers, they realize they were switched at birth. Leah Thompson […]
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and various stay-at-home orders, AMC Theatres banned Universal movies from playing at AMC locations. The question now is, will AMC Theatres ban Disney movies from playing at AMC? The answer is complicated. Because movie theaters are closed due to the pandemic, Universal Pictures released Trolls World Tour straight […]
It isn’t a very hot take for me to preach once every six or less months that Guillermo Del Toro is the closest proximity to an Alfred Hitchcock that we are going to see in our lifetime. His love for monsters is well balanced with his knowledge and appreciation for art as a whole. My […]
Kind of cool thing that happened to me when I was doing Rob Zombie’s Halloween was there’s a scene where Michael Myers is killing the Daniel Harris character. I can’t think of her name offhand, but it cuts to, in the script, Laurie Strode with the kids that she’s babysitting. And then it cuts back […]
