A Gut-Busting Horror Classic That Deserved a Sequel Is Spooking up the Streaming Charts

Image via Warner Bros. Without a doubt, the horror/comedy sub-genre has provided a slew of classics over the years that understandably become revitalized during the spooky season. And while more-modern films within the umbrella are recognized in Shaun of the Dead and Happy Death Day, the incomparable classics are simply untouchable when it comes to presenting a healthy mix between genuine fear and tear-jerking silliness.

Classic Comic Compendium: UNDERWINTER – SYMPHONY

Time is weird. Although under consistent conditions, the passage of time remains the same (relative to the speed that you’re travelling), our perception of it can be radically different. These past few years have felt particularly strange, given the existential dread and disruptions of routine and schedules many of us have been under. The rhythm and flow of time has felt off, as if something has gone terribly awry. It was only 2017, only five years ago now, that Underwinter – Symphony by Ray Fawkes and Steve Wands, was…

An All-Time Action Classic Remains an Explosive Work of Art

To put things into perspective, the impending December release of Avatar: The Way of Water will mark only Cameron’s third…

The Mere Mention of Remaking a Cult Classic Threatens to Incite a Riot

via 20th Century Fox There aren’t many movies that can be deemed 100 percent safe from being remade or rebooted, but if the film community had its way, John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China would be added to the club in an instant. While we’ve so far managed to escape the wrath of the enduring 1986 favorite being slapped with the fresh coat of paint that nobody asked for, Dwayne Johnson and his Seven Bucks production company have been threatening to do just that for close to a decade, with producer Hiram…
