While Hellboy may be half demon, that doesn’t mean he can’t help raise money for those who need it. Mike Mignola, who created the comic book character in 1993, recently listed some rare, signed figures and posters on eBay. If that isn’t cool enough, Mignola will give all the proceeds to World Central Kitchen (WCK). WCK is an organization created by Chef José Andrés, who recently received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that provides fresh meals to people during humanitarian, climate, and community crises. This charity is currently providing relief to those affected by the wildfires in California, and other…

It looks like 2025 will continue the recent trend of horror movie adaptations of beloved childhood characters. “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare” will be the latest addition to the ever-expanding Poohniverse kick started in 2023 with “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.” The upcoming film’s director Scott Chambers recently discussed some of his inspirations for this twisted retelling. Namely the 2016 Australian thriller “Hounds of Love,” directed by Ben Young. That movie tells the story of a suburban husband and wife who abduct teenage girls to abuse and murder them. “There was a lot of manipulation between that couple, and I…

And a corpse that looks A LOT…
