  • Could ROBERT ENGLUND Reprise his Role as FREDDY KRUEGER?!

    Are they going to remake A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET once again?! All signs point to yes because they claim Robert Englund is too old! However I think he’s got plenty of Freddy left in him, the real problem is Hollywood is obsessed with nostalgia and the big MONEY they think they can milk from…

  • RIP Steve Barkett: A True B-Movie LEGEND.

    It’s just come to my attention that the highly underrated B-movie legend Steve Barkett (born in 1950) has passed away, the news via Jim Wynorski. I think it’s a sad day for anyone who knew of some his wildly entertaining movies and raw charisma as an actor. I only recently discovered his movies about 5…

  • Spielberg’s Awesome WTF Sequel Treatment – ‘E.T. 2: NOCTURNAL FEARS’!

    I’ve joked with friends for many years about Steven Spielberg’s classic film E.T. having a sequel made, that was only released for audiences overseas. I mean of course I’d want a sequel to the movie, but not some pile of shit that’s made today where they fuck everything up with bad “special” overblown fx, a…

  • BILL & TED’s ‘Excellent Adventure 3’ Announced!!

    Totally EXCELLENT news duders! We just got an announcement from the stars of the “Bill & Ted’s” franchise, Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter that the third movie in the excellently bogus adventure series is indeed on the way! I’ve got the feeling that part three’s gonna bring the duo back in the right way and…

  • RIP John Carl Buechler: Remembering His Amazing Movie Monsters!!

    Yesterday we heard the news of master special effects artist / director John Carl Buechler’s passing & it reminded me once again of just how amazing his work in the industry was and just how many of the movies he was involved with have been a huge part of growing up. From cult classics like…

  • Should John Carpenter Direct The ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ SEQUEL Movie?!

    I’ve just read some interesting news that the currently upcoming ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ movie which was rumored for a long time to be a remake of the classic John Carpenter flick is actually a damn sequel! That’s some VERY interesting news indeed. Especially since so many were under the impression that Duane “The…

  • Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek? Sign Me Up!

    Well, well, well, it seems that us Star Trek fans may really finally be boldly going where no one has gone before. The apparent news is that Quentin Tarantino has got an interesting story to pitch for the U.S.S. Enterprise and if all things work out the way he’d like them to he’ll be sitting…

  • Is the New HELLBOY Movie in Good Hands?!

    Wow! So yesterday Mike Mignola made a stunning announcement that Hellboy will be returning to the big screen! BUT and there’s a big BUT here, without Ron Perlman & Guillermo del Toro’s involvement. This is a bit shocking to many as we’ve been waiting the third and final installment that’s been teased for years. I…

  • Before ‘It Follows’ was ‘The Myth of the American Sleepover’!

    I had to take a quick moment here to mention a cool little indie flick back from 2010 that really slipped almost completely under the radar for most everyone. “The Myth of the American Sleepover” was directed by David Robert Mitchell who’s much more well known for his colossal hit  horror flick from last year…

  • Should William Shatner Return to Star Trek?!

    Well, well, well, so William Shatner came out in the news this week stating that he’d be open to playing an aged Captain Kirk in an upcoming Star Trek film. Now we all know that Kirk supposedly bit the dust in ‘Star Trek: Generations’ back in 1994 in the most un-epic way possible. Yep he…
