With the release of GTFO‘s Rundown 005 coming up in a few days, 10 Chambers felt the need to get some hype going (or in their words, “kill your time until then”) by releasing a new podcast with Simon Viklund, Composer and Narrative Director of GTFO, interviewing some of the voice actors from the game.

The box office is officially back, thanks to Warner Bros., and what we’ve learned is that we have a very abstract view behind a film’s release. While Godzilla vs. Kong is a global box office hit, what truly made the difference is the deal between Warners and HBO Max, who reportedly paid in the $200M-$250M

While it’s safe to say that Capcom probably will never top their TV ad for the original Resident Evil 2, they can try with an entirely different route with Resident Evil Village.

The infamous Grady Twins from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining have been turned into various different collectibles in recent years, including Monster High dolls and Funko toys, and up next they’re getting a much more lifelike collectible from Medicom.

Tackling a new adaptation of a beloved video game franchise still going strong since 1992 sounds like a Herculean task.

Mortal

The announcement last week that Capcom was bringing us yet another Resident Evil 4 port was a surprise, and an even bigger one that it was for the Oculus Quest 2.

A big time deal was inked by Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment earlier this month, which will give Netflix exclusive streaming rights to Sony titles *after* theatrical and home entertainment releases. This pact begins next year, which kicks off with Sony’s release of the Jared Leto-starring Marvel vampire movie Morbius, currently dated for January 21, 2022. The partnership

Lycanthropy often represents repression or a struggle with duality in horror. Transforming into a feral werewolf tends to serve as a heightened metaphor for something else; puberty, sexual awakenings, generational trauma, religious persecution, or ruminations on mortality. In Bloodthirsty, unleashing an inner wolf mirrors a musician’s thirst for success and demonstrates how wolves lurk within the

James Wan has passed the baton to Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona) for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, coming to theaters and HBO Max on June 4, 2021.

A few years back, “Zombie Skittles” hit store shelves for Halloween, with candies tasting like “rotten zombie” randomly mixed into each bag.

Grindhouse theaters took their name from the way they continuously screened films day and night at cut-rate prices, known as “grind policy.” These independent theaters developed a reputation for cranking out low-budget exploitation and disreputable films that featured violence and sleaze.

Those Fallout 4 modders are at it again. Well actually, they may be closet Fallout 4 fans, but are really Resident Evil Village fans at heart.
