Scream fan art showcases a Pixar creation we desperately need
Move over, Paramount — a Scream film at the hands of Pixar is the true creation that we all desperately want. Of course, this concept was originally brought to life thanks to an artist over on Twitter, where a collection of art images showcased what it would look like if slasher spectacle Scream had been created by Pixar. And with a cartoonish Ghostface and a bone-chilling movie poster, there’s simply no denying that die-hard horror fans would be eager for a project of this sort to be brought to life.
Haunted Mansion hype disintegrates when folks remember Jared Leto’s involvement
Nothing screams “movie hype killer” quite like Jared Leto, whose method acting and unorthodox approach has increased his detractors over the years. This time around, Haunted Mansion, a much-anticipated Disney reboot, has seen its hype brought down a level thanks to Leto’s involvement in the project. Of course, it seems completely unfair to judge a film before it even hits theaters, but it’s not difficult to comprehend why moviegoers aren’t exactly thrilled to witness Leto on the big screen again.
When Stephen King requests a creature feature marathon, you’d better listen
In the latest roundup of news, the godfather of horror himself Stephen King has taken a momentary break from slaughtering Republicans online to request a “bug day” marathon chock-full of the genre’s best creature feature flicks. Of course, it’s far-fetched to say that this lineup of films is necessarily top-tier, but if one thing is for certain, it’s that you listen to King when he requests a specific marathon. Make it happen, folks!
Crawl back in on Monday, Scream stans, for a fresh-faced horror roundup.
