If you haven’t been living under a rock (or trapped in the endless legal swamp that is the Friday the 13th franchise), you’ve probably heard — Jason Voorhees is back… again. 🪓🔪

That’s right, Jason: Sweet Revenge is slashing its way to screens, somehow crawling out from under the mountain of lawsuits, rights battles, and whatever cursed lake the franchise's legal team sank into a decade ago. We would’ve posted this sooner, but we were waiting for confirmation that someone actually owns Jason now.

After years of courtroom carnage killing more projects than Jason ever could, it's refreshing to see something... you know... actually get made. Here's hoping it’s not just another nostalgia cash-in with a hockey mask and some blood packets. But hey, even if it is — we’re watching.

🎥 Link below — because nothing says “sweet revenge” like beating a copyright lawsuit.

The "Jason Universe" was on hand at San Diego Comic-Con tonight to show off a first look at Sweet Revenge, described as a “short-form vignette” that will

🚨 HELL HAS OFFICIALLY OPENED… AGAIN. 🔥

The new Hellraiser video game trailer just dropped, and we’re cautiously optimistic. The visuals? 🔥. The vibes? Pure Cenobite. But we can’t help but ask…

Please, Leviathan, don’t let this be another 4v1 online multiplayer clone.
We’re BEGGING for a true single-player experience—deep lore, atmospheric puzzles, maybe even some flesh-ripping moral choices? We want to open the box alone, not while being chased by three shirtless teens with flashlights and perks. 😬

Could this be the game that finally does the Hellraiser universe justice?
Pinhead deserves more than a lobby queue.

🎮 Watch the trailer. Discuss your hopes.
And pray it’s not just Dead by Daylight: Chain Edition.

Here's your look at the brutal Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival announcement trailer for the upcoming single-player, survival horror action game from Saber...

Why do these robots have laser eyes and bad attitudes?

And how did mirrors become the heroes we never knew we needed?

🎬 Box Office Report: "M3GAN 2.0" Weekend Performance 🎬

It looks like M3GAN 2.0 didn't quite meet box office expectations this weekend, underperforming in its opening run. Despite a lot of anticipation and the movie's cult following, it appears that ticket sales were lower than projected. 🤖📉

While fans of the first movie were excited for the sequel, the reception has been mixed, and some are wondering if the competition in the current movie market played a role in the results. Regardless, M3GAN remains an iconic character in the horror/sci-fi genre, and we’re sure fans will continue to appreciate the franchise.

It’s always interesting to see how sequels fare compared to their predecessors. What do you think? Did you catch the movie this weekend?

When M3GAN debuted to $30 million back in January 2023, it seemed like a new horror icon had been born. The killer doll's debut movie went on to scare up

Got the chance to meet Bob Elmore at Astronomicon 7 — best known for his role as Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
He was incredibly kind and down-to-earth, even behind such an iconic horror legacy.
Sad to hear of his passing today. Rest easy, Bob — thanks for the scares and the memories. 🖤
