Mask For Masc: Script Reveals The Title For Unmade Friday The 13th Sequel
If you've sharpened your machete in preparation for another sexy teen slaughter, get ready for dive into development hell for the Friday the 13th movie that never was. Heading back to the noughties, were there any horror franchises that weren't at least teased a gritty remake? From Halloween to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of Wax to A Nightmare on Elm Street, pretty much every boogeyman was dug up for another trip to the big screen. However, while Freddy Krueger should've stayed "Fred" and buried, 2009's #Fridaythe13th remake faired better than most.

I Abe-Solutely Love It: Greg Nicotero Is A Huge Fan Of 'The Walking Dead' Crossover Theory
With AMC still taking a huge bite out of the ratings pie with The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead, it seems that there is no stopping the gnashing teeth of Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse. However, hoping to swing a katana at the rest of their competition, the two shows are set to combine in possibly the most epic crossover to ever grace television.

It Wasn't Always Easy Street: Norman Reedus Was Warned Not To Star In 'The Walking Dead'
As AMC's The Walking Dead returns as a ravenous corpse of walker wonder, fans are tooling up for the bloody "All Out War" saga in Season 8. With more bullets and bodies than every before, Dead Heads are on eggshells to see who will and won't make it out of the climactic brush with Negan alive. Promising some major cast departures, we're already tipping several of the ensemble to leave the season in a body bag, but please network gods, don't let it be Daryl Dixon.

This fall, many of us are turning to the FX Channel for another round of Ryan Murphy's deliciously creepy series American Horror Story. With American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare having premiered, an inevitable question began to itch at the back of my mind, and one that has arisen before with American Horror Story: Freak Show: Why isn't there a horror game out there based on this series yet? Why hasn't this horror genius that is Ryan Murphy even approached the idea?

La Marche Des Morts: 'The Walking Dead' Creators Tease The Show Moving To Europe
Sacrebleu, could AMC's The Walking Dead really be preparing to take us on a continental adventure? Consistently beating the competition in the big ratings race, Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse shows no signs of losing its appetite for undead flesh and disposable cast members. With jokes of 20 seasons coming our way, fans are likely looking to the future of the franchise, even as we prepare to enter Season 8.

Is Danai Gurira About To Mich-own Another Character's Story On The Walking Dead?
While the seventh season of #TheWalkingDead may be more of a crawler than a walker, we have seen some interesting character developments in the first run of episodes. With Rick and Daryl all but broken at the hands of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's #Negan, it is time for the women of the group to step up. With Maggie, Rosita, and Michonne having bigger cojones than Negan himself, did Episode 4 show us someone tooling up for the impending bloodbath?

Hungry For Horror? HBO's Slenderman Documentary Brings Creepypasta To Life!
Considering we're inundated with films about Battleships, emojis and creepy Furby's, a #documentary created from a meme is by no means the weirdest thing we will be watching in our lifetime. And that is just as well, given that #Slenderman — the meme that has been doing the rounds since 2009, and lurking in our nightmares ever since — has just landed its very own cinematic production. Yup, #HBO is serving up a big ole bowl of #Creepypasta, just like momma used to make, and bringing us an all new documentary entitled Beware the Slender Man.
