It seems there will be no escape from sequels to films no one asked for. Despite the original sequel “All Saints Day” not really hitting the mark or clout of its predecessor, creator Troy Duffy and the film’s main stars have confirmed that a third “Boondock Saints” movie IS actually happening. I know, I’m as shocked as you are. Even more so that this isn’t even hearsay or rumored to be “in the works.” The third installment has the original creator and both Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flannery set to return. It has also has financial backing, with Impossible…

For the first time is this spooky season series, I have eliminated the phrase “Top” from the category heading. This is mainly because this list more objective than the others, and has no real category or basis for its inclusion. Also, the films that you might think SHOULD be on this list aren’t necessarily excluded as much as I just needed to limit it to 10 instead some indefinite or infinite number. Like most of the lists in this series, I don’t go very back into the decades to pull favorites. Not because older films aren’t good or stand the…

Looks like the zombie apocalypse is going global for Zack Snyder’s ArmyVerse. The sequel will be titled “Planet of the Dead,” and looks to pick up where the first film leaves off. Additionally, Snyder revealed intentions to also connect this sequel to the events of the soon to be released prequel, “Army of Thieves” which is set to hit Netflix October 29th. In an interview with Inverse, Snyder looks to have a lot of plans for the ever expanding universe, and revealed some not so surprising “maybes” about a possibly fan favorite character returning. With that particular character getting his…

It seems the social media conglomerate has finally embraced their end goal mission of world dominance. In announcement during their Facebook Connect event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company’s rebranded name: Meta. The announcement marks the first of many changes that are set to come in the next few years. The end goal is to move away from being known as primarily a social media platform and more of “a metaverse company.” It all sounds as ominous and pretentious as you would expect from Zuckerberg& friends, and again puts their end goal of platform dominance front and center instead of…

As if I needed another reason to love all things British! The London-based event space Secret Cinema is unveiling their latest, fully immersive, live virtual event, and its absolutely marvelous looking. After having hosted previous experiences for “Back to the Future” and “Stranger Things,” this year’s theme is “Ghostbusters” in conjunction with the upcoming release of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” Although this is the first time the entertainment company has ever attempted something like this (namely such an immersive and virtual experience), there is a LOT to unpack and the experience looks to be one of a kind. The experience is appropriately…

Every time I sneak around through back alleys and rooftops, stalking my prey and looking for that perfect drop down assassination with no witnesses and a perfectly executed stealth kill, I always think about one thing: food. I’m not entirely sure “Assassin’s Creed” warrants it, but apparently there is a new culinary cookbook inspired by the popular game franchise. You know, for those of us who gotta finish all the side quests but wanna whip a quick mideval times turkey leg. Well, look no further gamers (or chefs now apparently). “The Culinary Codex” is set to release on December 14th,…

Netflix bingers rejoice! It seems that there is at least some official movement on more “Squid Game.” If you’ve been living under a rock, the Korean series has taken streaming by storm, becoming one of the most watched series on Netflix ever and thrusting its stars into the global spotlight. The internet has also been swept up in the “Squid Game” craze, with memes, fan pages, and even flooding the costume/cosplay scene for Halloween. Needless to say, fans simply can’t get enough of the murderous kid game show. Luckily for fans, we may not have to wonder much longer as…

This is probably the hardest list I’ve had to make during this Spooky Movie Time series. There are just simply too many great vampire films to knock it down to a top 5. It’s not that vamps are the best horror genre or don’t have their own built in tropes and cliches, but for whatever reason I find vampires to have the most interesting and versatile lore in the horror sub genres. You can have hive vamps and eternal vamps and funny vamps and tormented vamps and everything else in between. I guess if you dig through your film collection…
