Horror History: Spider-Man vs. Dracula Starring Morgan Freeman!

0
0

Spider-Man! Where are you coming from Spider-Man… Nobody knows who you areeeeee…

Well, Morgan Freeman certainly did when he donned the cape and fangs to portray Dracula on the vintage children’s TV show “The Electric Company.”

Back in the 70s the great and fanged Morgan Freeman did battle with none other than Spider-Man (Danny Seagren) inside of a movie theater; and thanks to the wonders of YouTube, we have the whole thing for you right here. Freeman’s vampire character also developed into Vincent the Vegetable Vampire, a juice-sucker obsessed with eating vegetables. Freeman appeared on the popular show from 1971-1977.

Check out the sketches below. Other monsters appeared on “The Electric Company” throughout the 70s including Werewolf (Jim Boyd) and Frankenstein (Skip Hinnant).

Enough talk! Bite into some neat monster-driven nostalgia below!

E3 2017: Metal Gear Survive Delayed Until 2018

I’m still not sold on the idea of zombies in a Metal Gear game, but we’ll have a little longer to wait to see if Konami’s gamble pays off as Metal Gear Survive has been delayed until next year. Aside from the Pro Evolution Soccer series, they’ve pretty much abandoned the AAA industry in favor of Pachinko arcade machines, but at least they haven’t forgotten about Metal Gear just yet.

Survive will be the publishers first game in the series since they infamously sacked Hideo Kojima last year (and blocked him from attending the The Game Awards ceremony). While they haven’t released a new trailer, if you’re at the event it’s playable on the show floor.

The game takes place shortly after the events of Phantom Pain, with the surviving Militaires Sans Frontières soldiers being transported into an alternate dimension filled with zombies.

American Horror Story: Roanoke Invades Halloween Horror Nights

0

We told you a while ago that the horrors of “American Horror Story” are coming to Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Read on for the official word!

From the Press Release:
Universal Studios Hollywood announces the return of FX’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series “American Horror Story,” bringing Ryan Murphy’s demented “Roanoke” installment to life at this year’s “Halloween Horror Nights” event, beginning Friday, September 15, 2017.

“American Horror Story: Roanoke” will unearth the twisted legacy of The Lost Colony of Roanoke, transporting guests to the haunted backwoods of North Carolina where they will experience the terror that has tormented the town for centuries. The all-new disturbing maze, reimagined in acute and disturbing details, will unmask a cast of deranged killers, from the cannibalistic Polk family, who subsist by feeding upon innocent victims, to The Butcher, who thrives on human sacrifices. Trapped in a vicious circle of evil and murder, guests will find themselves in a life or death battle to outrun the nightmare of Roanoke before the vindictive spirits and demented killers soak the earth with the blood of their victims.

“The macabre mind of Ryan Murphy brings a treasure-trove of limitless possibilities to ‘Halloween Horror Nights,’” said John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of “Halloween Horror Nights.” “Because of the multitude of terrifying layers that come to life within this latest installment of FX’s ‘American Horror Story,’ we are devoting our entire maze to uncovering every twisted detail to fully immerse our guest into the Roanoke storyline.”

Captivating – and shocking – viewers since its debut in 2011, “American Horror Story” has won 15 Emmys, three Golden Globes, four Critics’ Choice Awards, and one People’s Choice Award. The latest installment of “American Horror Story” returns to FX in the fall of 2017.

“Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood brings together the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in a living, breathing, three-dimensional world of terror. Featuring an all-new slate of unrivaled film production quality mazes, frightful scare zones and a fully re-imagined “Terror Tram” experience uniquely themed to today’s most definitive horror properties, “Halloween Horror Nights” will taunt, terrorize, and torment guests with spine-chilling haunted attractions as part of Southern California’s most extreme Halloween experience.

For more information about “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios, visit HalloweenHorrorNights.com. Join the “Halloween Horror Nights” conversation using #UniversalHHN on Facebook at Halloween Horror Nights – Hollywood and Instagram; Halloween Horror Nights on Twitter and Periscope @HorrorNights. Add username “HorrorNights” on Snapchat for nightly live content, and watch the terror come to life on the Halloween Horror Nights YouTube Page.

Demon Inside, The (2017)

0
0

Starring Joseph Rene, Madeline Thelton, Chloe Lee

Directed by Joey Moran


Latching onto the “paranormal possession” reins, director Joey Moran uses both fair amounts of subtle humor and horror to effectively transport his work of a family’s home under siege from malevolent spirits – it’s called The Demon Inside, and it’s time to walk through the front door to this house of horrors…wipe your feet, please.

Starring Joseph Rene as Sam Parsons, a man whose recent stint behind bars has left him somewhat of an emotional cripple, and only the hope of reuniting with his wife (Thelton) and young daughter (Lee) can snap him out of this funk. However, Sam’s troubles only compound into that of a much greater entity when those misbehavin’ ghouls come a knockin’ on the door to his family’s abode, and these suckers are spooky and nasty, to boot. Faced with no options left after more than a few terrorizing circumstances, he enlists the help of the “Ghost Killers” (I’m serious) to storm his castle and (hopefully) oust these offending sinister souls. What works for this trio of paranormal exterminators is the framework of their actions – using humor to act as a counter-agent to a unrepentant work ethic that swears to lay waste to any invading ghosts – pretty successful creation-point.

The performances, while a bit hokey at times from the Ghost Killers, are in fact meant to poke a bit of fun at all the “reality” shows on TV these days, and it’s a nice measure to help compliment the story in its progression. Actually, all of the acting within this film is well-performed, especially considering that this is a small-budgeted production – diamonds in the rough, I guess? Moran goes the smart route and doesn’t show what’s meant to scare us too much, making it all the more creepy, in essence – you don’t want to go to the well too many times and the slowed-down frights were a decent touch. Now while some people might find the characters’ actions at times a bit too goofy and non-thought provoking, it is a valid point, but not everything can hit on all counts when it comes to films of this level – it’s not a killing point, and the movie is surely worth a one-timer for those looking for a little lights-out action. Give this one a peek when it crawls your way.

E3 2017: Nintendo Switch Version of Skyrim Receiving The Legend of Zelda Content

0
0

I’ve spent literally hundreds and hundreds of hours exploring the land of Skyrim, so it really does make me aglow to know that Bethesda are keeping one of my favorite games of all time alive.

In addition to the recent remaster of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PS4 and Xbox One, Bethesda will be bringing their fantasy RPG masterpiece to the Nintendo Switch towards the end of this year. As the Switch is a console/handheld hybrid, it still blows my mind that we’re getting a handheld version of such a gigantic and technologically advanced game.

The best thing about the Switch version is that it will feature the blue Champion’s Tunic worn by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, along with the Master Sword and Hylian Shield from the Zelda franchise. This content will be accessible via Link’s Breath of the Wild Amiibo figure.

The Legend of Zelda also happens to be one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time, although I will admit that it will be strange seeing such a family friendly series crossing over with something as violent and bloody as Skyrim. Although it will be cool to finally see the Master Sword slicing through human flesh. I guess this is the closest we’ll ever come to an M-rated Legend of Zelda game.

Could this cross promotion lead to more collaborations between Bethesda and Nintendo? I sure hope so.

In addition to coming to the Switch, we also learned from E3 that a new VR version of Skyrim will be coming to the PS4 in the near future. I always thought that Skyrim was immersive enough, but I’m curious to see how it will work in the medium of virtual reality.

Snowpiercer Next Stop for Alison Wright and Benjamin Haigh

0
0

More casting news has arrived for TNT’s small screen series version of “Snowpiercer.” Joining the previously announced Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Mickey Sumner, Annalise Basso, Sasha Frolova, will be Alison Wright (pictured; “The Americans”) and Benjamin Haigh (The Conjuring 2).

Per Deadline Wright will play Lilah Anderson. She is careful and quiet but a pragmatic and independent thinker. Lilah lives with her husband and daughter in a fourth-class cabin and works in the train’s nail salon. Lilah doesn’t know how strong she is, but she’ll soon be forced to find out.

Haigh will portray Fergus McConnell, who lives in the back of the train amongst poverty. He helps his mother care for his sick father, and does his best to contribute to the daily struggles of life in this part of the train.

The “Snowpiercer” pilot, a futuristic thriller based on the acclaimed 2013 feature by Bong Joon-ho, is directed by Doctor Strange helmer Scott Derrickson. It’s set seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, and the remnants of humanity inhabit a gigantic, perpetually moving train that circles the globe. It explores class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival.

Connelly plays Melanie Cavill, a First Class passenger who works as the Voice of the Train; Diggs plays Layton Well, a prisoner who becomes a reluctant participant in a struggle that could upend life on the train; Sumner will play Bess Till the thoughtful, empathetic, and savvy part of the train’s security force. Basso will play LJ Anderson, a quiet, diligent, Midwestern girl who lives with her parents in a fourth-class cabin and works in the greenhouse car. Poor but not as desperate as those that live in the tail of the train, LJ has made peace with her daily routine until a major event shakes up her world; Frolova will portray Pixi Aariak. Pixi is strange, mysterious, and inscrutable, a charismatic chameleon and probably inspired by the expression “still waters run deep.” She returns to the front of the train after a three-year sentence in the prison car and struggles to acclimate to her old life. You can’t take your eyes off of her. And you probably shouldn’t.

“Snowpiercer,” a co-production among Marty Adelstein/ITV Studios’ Tomorrow Studios, Turner’s Studio T, and CJ Entertainment, is exec produced by writer/showrunner Josh Friedman; director Derrickson; Tomorrow Studios’ Adelstein and Becky Clements; and the original film’s Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, Lee Tae-hun, and Dooho Choi.

LAFF 2017: Vertical Entertainment Nabs Never Here

0

You Were Never Here, the psychological thriller starring Mireille Enos from executive producers Zachary Quinto and Neal Dodson, has landed itself a new title and distribution before its premiere at this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival.

Per Deadline, Vertical Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to the newly titled Never Here, which is having its world premiere Sunday. Vertical is planning a day-and-date theatrical release in fourth quarter 2017, followed by a pay TV debut on Starz in early 2018.

Written and directed by Camille Thoman, Never Here centers on Enos’ Miranda, an installation artist who follows, photographs, and documents the lives of strangers to create her art. One night her secret lover witnesses a violent act from Miranda’s apartment window. To protect his identity, Miranda poses as the primary witness, making statements to the police about a crime she did not see, and she begins to create a new piece of work based on these circumstances. It sends Miranda into a maze of doubt and fear, blurring the lines between artist and subject. Sam Shepard, Goran Visnjic, Vincent Piazza, Nina Arianda, Ana Nogueira, and Desmin Borges co-star.

The film was produced by Wonderbar Productions in association with Before the Door Pictures. Julian Cautherley, Radium Cheung, Bronwyn Cornelius, Corey Moosa, Camille Thoman, and Elizabeth Yng-Wong produced; and Greg Ainsworth, Alvin Chau, Luke Daniels, Neal Dodson, Erika Hampson, Brandon K. Hogan, Subi Liang, Dan Milne, Ho-Cheung Pang, Alan Pao, Zachary Quinto, Wenke Sterns, and Alex Tong are executive producers.

The film has its world premiere in the U.S. Fiction Competition section Sunday, June 18th, at 6:15 PM at Arclight Cinema 4 in Culver City.

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Starz and the Never Here team to bring this incredibly visceral film to audiences,” Vertical co-president Rich Goldberg said. “Camille’s distinct vision threads an especially unique story that calls for active participation from every viewer.

More to come.

Author Steve Alten Opens the Book on the Undisclosed

0

Best-selling author Steve Alten (Meg) has a new book on its way and we have your first look at what’s to come. Get ready to learn about The Undisclosed.

From the Press Release:
On Saturday December 14, 2013 at approximately 11:10 PM, NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten and his wife, Kim, were returning home from dinner and a movie. As they drove through their neighborhood, they noticed something bizarre moving toward them in the night sky – pale amber lights like nothing they had ever seen.

Says Alten: “There were eight to twelve of them flying in staggered pairs, approaching from the south less than a thousand feet (estimated) above Route 441/State Road 7 in Palm Beach County. They were far too silent and smooth to be helicopters and they were definitely not planes. As they came closer and passed almost directly overhead we could see the outline of a… well, their saucer-shaped vessels. By this time I had parked the car and Kim and I just stood and watched them, the two of us incredulous as they moved north through a cloudless night sky… until, pair by pair, they simply faded into the ether. Let me be clear here, they didn’t move out of range or shut off their lights or disappear into a cloud bank, they slipped out of existence. Neither one of us had ever seen a UFO before. Far from being scared, we felt exhilarated, like we had just been treated to something very special.”

Three days later, the couple drove to Miami Beach and had dinner with Dr. Steven M. Greer and his wife Emily – the first time the four had ever met. Considered by many to be the world’s foremost authority on UFOs and Extraterrestrials, Dr. Greer has prepared briefs for two sitting presidents, members of congress, the Head of the Joint Chiefs, and many world leaders. He also leads CE-5 expeditions – Human-instigated ET encounters which use group meditation and remote viewing techniques to vector in the Interstellars.

Steve Alten had contacted Dr. Greer after watching his 2001 Disclosure Project, a media event now viewed by hundreds of millions of people on YouTube that featured twenty eyewitnesses in the military, Intelligence community, FAA, and private defense sector who testified UFOs are not only real, but that there has been a major cover-up regarding free energy technologies, reverse-engineered from downed interstellar craft that could end global warming, poverty and famine, and change the world – only the fossil fuel industry and military industrial complex refuses to acknowledge their existence.

Alten had emailed Dr. Greer seeking permission to use excerpts of these testimonials in one of his novels. A year after the book was published he received an invitation to meet the Greers in Miami for dinner. Of course, the first thing the Altens spoke about was their UFO experience three nights earlier. Dr. Greer explained that these close encounters happen to many of the people he is going to meet for the first time; the ETs are “checking you out to make sure your motives are pure.” Greer discovered that advanced species communicate through consciousness; it was during meditation that he learned how to initiate his own close encounters.

The meeting in December led to a three-pronged game plan designed to alert the masses to these zero-point-energy technologies, along with details about a False Flag event set up by the military industrial complex intended to make it look like we’re being attacked by “evil aliens.”

‘Unacknowledged’ (the documentary) was released by The Orchard, a division of Sony on April 24, 2017. Unacknowledged (the book, edited by Steve Alten) was released by A&M Publishers on April 25, 2017. Undisclosed (a new thriller by Steve Alten) will be released on June 6, 2017. The story is about Adam Shariak, a veteran of the Iraq war, who is appointed Under Secretary of Defense in 2017 in order to penetrate a secret government, purposely black-shelving a clean, abundant energy system, reverse-engineered from downed UFOs. Both books and the movie name names, sites of secret black ops funded underground holding real UFOs and Alien Reproduction Vehicles, and details how a secret group, known as Majik, “murdered former CIA Director William Colby days before he was supposed to turn over a zero-point energy device and millions of dollars in seed money to Dr. Greer.”

Earlier today a new trailer was released for Netflix’s upcoming – and highly anticipated – new film Okja, and now we’re back with a featurette, which is titled “Mirando Is Fucked.”

In this video, the Animal Liberation Front vows to take down the Mirando Corporation. We’ll find out later this month if they’re successful!

Okja stars Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Byun Heebong, Steven Yeun, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, Jake Gyllenhaal, and An Seo Hyun. It was directed by Bong Joon Ho (The Host, Snowpiercer). who co-wrote the script with Jon Ronson.

The film hits Netflix on June 28th.

Synopsis:
For 10 idyllic years, young Mija (An Seo Hyun) has been caretaker and constant companion to Okja—a massive animal and an even bigger friend—at her home in the mountains of South Korea. But that changes when family-owned multinational conglomerate Mirando Corporation takes Okja for themselves and transports her to New York, where image-obsessed and self-promoting CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) has big plans for Mija’s dearest friend.

With no particular plan but single-minded in intent, Mija sets out on a rescue mission, but her already daunting journey quickly becomes more complicated when she crosses paths with disparate groups of capitalists, demonstrators, and consumers, each battling to control the fate of Okja… while all Mija wants to do is bring her friend home.

E3 2017: Destiny 2 Looks Just as Epic as You’d Expect

With Destiny 2 being one the biggest games of 2017 by far, the E3 trailer for Activision’s sci-fi shooter was just as epic as you’d expect.

Destiny 2 will once again feature the fast-paced online multiplayer action that made the original game such a gigantic success, and best of all, developer Bungie will once again include a story-driven campaign. It will be released on Xbox One and PS4 on September 6 2017, and unlike its predecessor, it will also be coming to PC on October 24. Pre-order here.

If you’re not ready to upgrade to Destiny 2 just yet, rest assured that Activision will be keeping the servers for the original Destiny online for the foreseeable future. Seeing as the combined marketing and production budgets of the original 2014 game came to an estimated combined total of an enormous $500 million, so I guess they’re gonna want to make as much money from it as possible before it goes offline.

WATCH THE NEW DESTINY 2 TRAILER FROM E3!
Last month, millions of players witnessed the Destiny 2 gameplay premiere for the first time. Now, Ghaul has invaded E3. Meet the villain you’ll fight in Destiny 2, the most powerful enemy the Guardians have ever faced.

E3 2017: God of War Presents a Saga Borne of Ash

Sony really is sparing no expense when it comes to marketing God of War. In addition to the stunning E3 trailer, they’ve also debuted the first installment in a promotional video series called “The Lost Pages of Norse Myth.” The first episode’s called “A Saga Borne of Ash,” and it really is something for both the auditory and visual senses to wallow in.

Director Cory Barlog also revealed the game’s box art for its release early next year on Twitter, and unsurprisingly, it’s a sight to behold. Kratos and his son Atreus really don’t mess around.

I’m gonna go ahead and predict that God of War will be the bestselling PS4 exclusive of 2018.

A Special God of War Performance – A Saga Borne of Ash | E3 2017
It is a new beginning for Kratos. Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, he ventures into the brutal Norse wilds with his son Atreus, fighting to fulfill a deeply personal quest.

Before you ask, we still haven’t seen any gameplay footage, although this new behind the scenes look does give us more of an insight as to what to expect from the sci-fi sequel. Rayman creator Michel Ancel returns to direct. You may also know him as the director of the videogame adaptation of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

I love the Crysis games, so the E3 trailer for Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown gave me a huge geek boner.

Originally titled Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age, Hunt: Showdown is a multiplayer horror game where you’ll hunt monsters across Louisiana. Although there will be some shooting and action elements, it looks like a greater focus will be placed on stealth and suspense as you stalk your prey (or it stalks you).

When two hunters risk everything
And evil waits unseen
The hunter becomes the hunted

I think all of us, when we were kids, felt like there was no scarier creature than the Boogeyman… that nameless, faceless “man” who haunted our nightmares. Now there’s a new book on the way from Schiffer Publishing that aims to introduce us to a whimsical, funny, informative, and frightening biographical history of the world’s greatest villain.

Interview with the Boogeyman: A Monster for All Times covers the entirety of the world’s folklore and legend in geographical and chronological order, culminating in this conclusive book. Follow the Boogeyman’s adventures through the most terrifying stories in the annals of folklore and legend.

Benjamin Jeffries (Lost in the Darkness: Life Inside the World’s Most Haunted Prisons, Hospitals, and Asylums; Grim Shadows Falling: Haunting Tales from Terrifying Places; and Vile: Peeking Under the Skin of Murderers) is the author and certifiable madman behind Interview with the Boogeyman. It arrives in bookstores and online outlets on July 28th; click here to pre-order a copy from Amazon.

Synopsis:
He is every nightmare you’ve ever had and every fright made flesh. He is the most feared villain in the history of the world, haunting us past childhood, lingering in the background of the darkest recesses of our souls. Now―for the first time ever―meet the infamous Boogeyman as he steps out of the darkness and into the limelight.

Written in a clever interview style, this whimsical, funny, informative, and scary biographical history of the world’s greatest fiend takes the reader on an escapade into terror that began in the dank world of the Dimmuborgir Lava Fields in Iceland and culminates in the surreal landscape of today’s modern monsters. From folklore to contemporary horror, through a series of engaging questions, diary entries, and author research, the evolution of the Boogeyman continues to develop as he takes credit here for the most disturbing and bloodthirsty creatures ever to scare us silly.
