This comes less than two weeks after they were called out publicly for not paying creators royalties. AfterShock’s filing paperwork lists dozens of creators, some of whom are owed as much as $20,000 in unpaid royalties. They also list hundreds of creditors…

“Evil Dead Rise” director Lee Cronin promises fans all the blood and carnage we expect from an “Evil Dead” film. Since its inception in 1981, the franchise has been known for its blend of gore and undead violence. While the 1st three entries focus much more on “splat stick” style horror by blending gore with Ash Williams’ (Bruce Campbell) very physical slapstick style of comedy. A style that carried on to the show “Ash vs The Evil Dead.” The 2013 remake from Fede Álvarez took a far more serious approach to the Sam Raimi-created universe, but it still kept the…

Director James Cameron may try to relaunch the “Terminator” film franchise once again. This may come as a shock to some considering 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” underperformed. To say the least. Despite all the hype, “Dark Fate” reportedly caused a loss of roughly $122.6 million. It’s a shame, considering it saw the return of several core cast members from “Terminator” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” Linda Hamilton came back to play Sarah Connor, as did Edward Furlong as John Connor. Even the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, returned for the 2019 revival. Which is something the director now thinks contributed to…

Over a year ago Full Moon announced they would be partnering with October Games to create a video game for their classic “Puppet Master” series. Lead designer Drake Kazmierczak says this project started out as a fan game around 10 years ago. So it has certainly been a journey to painstakingly develop this free-to-play game. The “Puppet Master” films focus on a group of murderous puppets created around World War 2 by Andre Toulon. Each has their own special ability and with over 12 films in the franchise, their motives for murder have been known to change. Sometimes they are…

Crimes that were perpetrated by her deranged and obsessed cousin, Lee Morris (Damian Maffei). Moira tries to live a quiet suburban…

The government then fakes his death so he can train to be an assassin for the secret organization CURE, which is set up to defend the country by working outside the law. “The Destroyer” book series was a huge hit with over…

Former president Donald Trump vaguely teased major news this week. But, he already announced he would be running for president, again, last month. What could be more major than that? The answer: is first set of NFT trading cards, with his face (poorly) edited onto other bodies. Specifically, bodies of people doing jobs he has never done. For example, one shows him as an astronaut and in another, he is a sheriff. But possibly the oddest one is him as a superhero standing in front of Trump Tower. Complete with a heroic Superman-style shit rip showing a 6 pack and…
