🦷 The killer in The R.I.P. Man doesn’t just take lives—he takes TEETH.
Turns out, he can’t grow his own… so he’s out there murdering for a new smile. 😬

Yeah, it’s as messed up as it sounds—and we had a blast reacting to it.

Today marks 46 years since Lucio Fulci unleashed the ultimate grindhouse nightmare—Zombie (Zombi 2)—on August 25, 1979!
An unrelenting feast of gore, dread, and that jaw-dropping zombie-vs-shark moment. Fulci’s boldness cemented his legacy as the unapologetic godfather of gore.

If you’ve ever had to clutch your own eyeballs during that infamous impalement scene... you know exactly what I'm talking about. What scene from this cult classic still haunts you most?

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...
