Halloween marks chillier nights, gloomier days, and a time when many are looking for a good scare. Many of us turn to movies and TV for quick access to the horror genre’s best. Well, Universal Studios has it down to a science during this time of the year. From mid-September to Halloween, Universal Studios hosts a nighttime event called Halloween Horror Nights, where some of entertainment’s creepiest characters and spirits come up from their graves, right out of our screens, to bring every one of your nightmares to life....

Since acquiring Star Wars in 2012, Disney has massively expanded the franchise through a sequel trilogy, spin-off films, and animated projects. While 2019 marked the end of The Skywalker Saga, the franchise continues to grow, and now Star Wars has found a successful home on Disney+ in the world of streaming. In a recent issue of Vanity Fair, Lucasfilm revealed many details about the future of the franchise. While there are a number of films in development, a good portion of the piece was focused on the franchise’s shift to television....

When it came to television in the late 90s and early 2000s aimed at young kids, Blue’s Clues was certainly one of the biggest. The series took place in a bright colorful children’s book aesthetic and featured a cast of colorful characters with the central focus being a blue female puppy named Blue who would leave her paw print as a clue for the viewer to solve the episode’s mystery. As popular as Blue was, her first human companion, Steve, developed a surprising cult following....

A Warhammer 40k series is coming. For longtime fans of the franchise, this should be a pretty exciting prospect given it will be the first mainstream adaptation beyond online cinematics posted by Games Workshop. While the whole thing started out as a tabletop game, it has spawned countless books, lots of art, and even a few popular video games. MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY There’s certainly no shortage of choices here with there being nine Loyalist legions to choose from with far more sub-factions therein....

While audiences have seen the comic book character Mr. Freeze make multiple appearances in film starting in the 1960s, his small film features have left people wanting more. With the premiere of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, we begin the next generation of the vigilante superhero. The latest iteration shows some beloved classic villains and a new fan-favorite version of Catwoman played by Zoe Kravitz. The reintroduction of these characters, who are often overshadowed by others like the Joker, shows that there’s hope for other underrated DC characters to get a chance in the spotlight....

In today’s world of streaming services galore and many kinds of series to watch, it’s not all that uncommon to hear about a show that was axed just right after airing just a few episodes. One of the latest examples of this trend is Resident Evil on Netflix, which premiered on July 14, 2022, and lasted just eight episodes. Paper Girls is another, debuting on Prime Video on July 29, 2022, and canceled after the same amount of episodes....

Spoiler Warning: She-Hulk Season One After a superhumanly underwhelming previous episode, She-Hulk is back in big green form, with some gold and red mixed in. Following an uneventful stint in group therapy with a gaggle of lesser superheroes, Jen Walters and her alter ego returned to court and got back in action for episode eight, “Ribbit and Rip It.” Speaking of backbench heroes, this episode introduced yet another goofy vigilante in Leap-Frog, a hapless crime fighter clad in a Super Mario 3-like frog suit....

Part of this is because, even when The Kids in the Hall wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny, it was almost always intelligent, provocative, fun, or just plain brilliant, their comedy often existing in a strange, paradoxical space. They’d mix the dumbest thing in the world (a guy who pretends to crush heads with his fingers) with high art (an extended, expensive homage to Andrei Tarkovsky and experimental art films) without missing a beat....

Funko has unveiled their second wave of Pop figures based on The Mandalorian, which includes plenty of awesome new additions but an unfortunate lack of Baby Yoda. A handful of characters from the series have already been given the Pop treatment in the first wave of figures from Funko, and this new set will bring 15 more must-have collectibles. You can take a peek at several of the new Pop figures in a tweet from Funko below....

Replete with quotable dialogue, resonant characters, and unforgettable spectacles, the filmography of Quentin Tarantino remains one of the most memorable in modern Hollywood. Each movie he directs — except for one, perhaps, which will be touched on in a moment — features at least a single iconic and indelible location in which at least part of the film is set. These are the places that audiences think of with regard to each respective project....

Adam McKay’s new comedy The Other Guys will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 14. The two DVD versions, the theatrical cut and unrated cut, will both be priced at $28.96 SRP with the single-disc Blu-ray priced at $34.95 SRP and the two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack going for $38.96 SRP. We don’t have any cover art images right now, but we’ll be sure to update this story as soon as we have the images....

The dystopia that writer James DeMonaco created has left audiences speechless since 2013. The Purge storyline is created based on the idea that for 12 consecutive hours, every year, the citizens of the United States of America recognize a “holiday” where almost all crime, including murder, is legal. While the results of the event leave behind dead bodies, broken-into buildings, and a whole hoard of disastrous wreckage, the US government happily announces that unemployment, poverty, and crime is at an all-time low the rest of the year....

The Shining (1980) is a horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick and photographed by John Alcott. Depicting the all-American Torrance family’s gradual slip into madness as they inhabit an empty hotel for the winter, the movie is one of the most iconic and genuinely disquieting horror films of all time - and while there are plenty of ghastly spectacles throughout, the terror the audience leaves the theater with is a result of Kubrick’s command over tone, tension, and the uncanny....

Vulture has obtained a copy of the script for Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski’s new movie Cobalt Neutral 9, and they have revealed new details about the storyline. Last we heard, the movie was set to take place during the Iraq War, with its main plot centered on a homosexual romance. Vulture reveals that the movie will actually pick-up 100 years into the future, with archeologists discovering “found footage” from the U....

AMC will shell out big bucks to end their years-long legal battle with Frank Darabont and CAA just ahead of the final season of The Walking Dead. The network has just filed paperwork with the SEC announcing that they have paid a $200 million settlement to Darabont and CAA to put an end to the dispute once and for all. This follows the filmmaker and his agents filing a lawsuit in 2013 citing breach of contract....

In anticipation of The Walking Dead’s Season 4 premiere this weekend, AMC has released a new clip from “30 Days Without an Incident”, where Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) tends to his garden and finds a gun buried beneath the soil. In addition, the studio has released a featurette with Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon), who gives fans a few tips on how to be a badass, along with a video that recaps the events of Season 3 with a number of cast and crew members....

An official trailer has just dropped for the second season of The Witcher ahead of its premiere on Netflix in December. The new trailer comes with plenty of new footage not seen in the previous teasers and sneak peeks, and if you’re somehow not stoked for Dec. 17 already, you will be after watching the video. You can check it out below. There’s plenty of action to see in the new trailer along with monsters galore....

The galaxy far, far away seems like it isn’t going anywhere in the film industry anytime soon, and continues to get bigger and bigger. A lot of fans have been satisfied with some spin-offs, with The Mandalorian and Rogue One having been almost universally acclaimed. Other fans have expressed some dismay and egregious disappointment, or simply consider some spin-offs to be triumphs of mediocrity, with Solo and The Book of Boba Fett garnering more of a mixed reception....

When Season 2 of Hannibal kicks off on Friday, February 28 with “Daiseki”, FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) is in jail, having been framed for the murder of Abigail (Kacey Rohl), a crime committed by Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) himself. The new trailer for this upcoming season reveals that Hannibal continues his killing spree, along with a brief scene that teases Hannibal may have attacked Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) as well....

Lion-O and his pals are back in the new trailer for Cartoon Network’s upcoming ThunderCats reboot Thundercats Roar, but they’re not quite like how you might remember them. In the trailer, the main cast of characters is introduced one after another. This confirms the inclusion of many fan favorites like Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Snarf, Wily-Kit, and Wily-Kat. However, as seen in the video, the characters have been completely redesigned, looking very little like they had when we first met them in the ’80s....
