We’ve known for a while that Warner Bros. is setting up a Blue Beetle movie. We’ve also known that it will be one of the films that will bypass a traditional theatrical release and go direct to HBO Max (see also: a Batgirl movie and Birds of Prey spinoff Black Canary).

Do you believe in the boogeyman? If you’ve ever watched one of the good Halloween movies, the answer is an unqualified yes. The boogeyman is real and he has a name and a Shape: Michael Myers.

When Joel meets Ellie in the opening act of The Last of Us, it’s a turning point for the character. After years of blaming himself for the death of his daughter during an outbreak that turned most of world’s population into flesh-eating monsters, Joel has a chance at redemption when he’s hired to smuggle Ellie

In The Velvet Underground, director Todd Haynes expertly captures the outsider quality of the titular band. While much of the youth of the Aquarius age wanted to let the sunshine in, the band preferred to close the door, so they’d never have to see the day again. This disconnect is glaringly featured in a segment

If you listen to any Metroid fan talk passionately about the consistent quality of this franchise as well as the many ways it has changed gaming over the years, you may start to wonder why we really only got one “proper” Metroid game (Metroid II remake Metroid: Samus Returns) between 2007 and 2021. Well, the

For the first time during the pandemic era, a major Comic Con was held in person, and where there’s a Comic Con, there’s a cosplayer waiting for a chance to display their impressive handmade looks. Mask mandates and vaccination requirements didn’t stop fans from strutting their stuff around the showroom of the Javits Center at

BTS has been professionally “running” in the form of a “self-produced” variety show for six years and over 150 episodes, and, last week, Weverse announced the long-running series will be taking a break.

Three years ago, director David Gordon Green and producer Jason Blum took on a challenge: reboot the classic horror movie Halloween (1978) with a new sequel that basically ignored all the other sequels and remakes, some nine in all, which had come out in the last 40 years. 2018’s Halloween was a resounding success, both

Emma Mieko Candon, author of Star Wars: Ronin, is pulling from Star Wars the way George Lucas drew from Akira Kurosawa films. Her novel redefines pop culture vocabulary like “Jedi” and “Sith” in order to bring them back to the ideas that inspired them: Force-users as samurai, and all that implies. In the novel, it’s

Vampires are one of genre’s greatest creations. Undead creatures who feed on the blood of the living, they are one of our most enduring horror tropes. Used as a way to explore themes as diverse as our fear of death, the taboos of sexual desire, and the agony of aging, vampires have enjoyed a particularly

This article is brought to you by Horror Channel It’s October! We can wear layers again! We can have far too heated arguments about whether pumpkin spice lattes are the downfall of civilization or are literally just a drink! Kick leaves along the pavement and then stop kicking leaves because there was something wet in

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 8 One of the things The Walking Dead does better than most shows, especially shows that lean action/adventure or horror, is scale. There’s no shortage of zombie extras on The Walking Dead, and the show never hesitates to push for larger groups

Those who hoped No Time to Die’s U.S. opening would sail past the $100 million milestone—a feat which hasn’t been achieved since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019—might be sorely disappointed this morning.

Attendees at New York Comic Con love their giveaways, but eBay has something truly special for those walking the convention floor. Rather than simply browsing vendor wares and appreciating cosplayers passing by, visitors can look for special Funko Pop display boxes hidden around the Javits Center for an extraordinary scavenger hunt that appears to be

Outlander has always been, among many other things, a political show, even if fans don’t think of it in that way. While later seasons of the Starz series have (mostly uncritically) waded into scenarios in which the show’s white main characters are not the easily identifiable heroes, Season 6 is poised to bring Outlander‘s Claire

DJ Skee took the psychedelic origins of Doctor Strange to heart when eBay asked him to create a variant cover for the Marvel superhero for New York Comic Con.

Rockstar has finally confirmed the worst kept secret in the video game industry by releasing this teaser trailer for their upcoming remasters of GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas that they promise are “coming soon.” According to Rockstar, these remasters “feature across-the-board upgrades” that include “graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements for

Battlefield 2042‘s open beta might be…kind of rough, but it does offer a nice preview of what we can expect from the full game, including a look at some of the guns and weapons that will eventually define the meta. While the Battlefield 2042 open beta doesn’t include every gun that will be available in

While retrospectives on the year 2021 will likely reflect an array of unpleasantness, the brighter pop culture sections should be lifted by a certain jingle’s three fateful words: Agatha All Along. Indeed, the year saw Disney+ finally bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe to television (officially, anyway,) starting in January with WandaVision, which wrought weirdness, forced

In addition to being one of the most underserved first-party Nintendo franchises, Metroid is also one of the few Nintendo franchises to have a strong, consistent, and cohesive narrative canon. The adventures of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran are actually connected and impact one another in ways that you just don’t see in even Nintendo’s

It all made too much sense not to happen. After borrowing Shirley Jackson’s source material for 2018 series adaptation The Haunting of Hill House and Henry James’s (again: we must insist you call him “Hank Jim”) for 2020’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, there was only one classic horror author for filmmaker Mike Flanagan to

Reports of New World “bricking” certain GPUs have many PC gamers with high-end graphics cards wondering if it’s even safe to start playing Amazon’s hit MMO.

“I think I’ve always been my own kind of person, and you know sometimes to my detriment,” says Malcolm McDowell, chatting to Den of Geek via Zoom, 50 years after the release of A Clockwork Orange. “I’ve never really played the Hollywood card, I’m not really an insider, that’s just not my thing. And I

Comics are Katie Kubert’s professional medium, but it’s the other kind of medium that’s perhaps as equally relevant to her current role as editor of the new DC Horror imprint.   As a child, Kubert recalls visiting the Tower of London with her family when, after a brief visit, her mother said, “I don’t want to

This article contains light spoilers for The Many Saints of Newark. The Sopranos prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark is David Chase’s return to the New Jersey city where his families lived, worked, and occasionally breathed their last.

When I first walked out of The Many Saints of Newark, my initial reaction was to call it a B-movie. What I didn’t say at the time, however, was how much I love B-movies. While I saw the flaws in the film and couldn’t wholly endorse it to cinemagoers spoiled by the perfection of The

There’s a line early on in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch that will surely make any room full of journalists howl in amusement. Sitting at his desk, and under the typical kind of droll bewilderment we associate with Anderson heroes, Bill Murray’s editor of the film’s eponymous magazine exclaims, “She was told to turn in
