The critically lauded Netflix web-series Stranger Things has returned for a second season and it’s an entertainingly odd sophomore year. Most of the first-year cast is back, along with a few newbies, as the town of Hawkins, Indiana faces more Domogorgons from the Upside-Down. Beware of spoilers.
Many shows that have such a popular first season often start to drop in quality during the second year. Fans will be glad to know that the second season of Stranger Things is just as good as the first. Better in some ways, worse in others, but overall, on the same level, which is good. Since fan expectations were higher this year than they were when the show started, it’s a relief that they didn’t drop the ball. The Spielberg/Steven King quality is still there, and the continuity from year one is good, without rehashing too much.
Spoilers ahead…...

Want teenagers to put down their gadgets and take a trip to the multiplex? Give them R-rated horror.
Then toss in a storyline about a misfit group of young teens banding together to battle bullies and the demonic Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and a bona fide blockbuster is born.

One of the biggest problems with book-to-film movies is that many times they fail to capture the spirit of the book. That largely falls on the director, but when the transition is made well it can have a blockbuster result at the box office. Think Silence of the Lambs. The buzz around Steven King’s book-to-film It movie will likely have people giving the word “it” a new cultural reference. No more Information Technology acronyms. King has a storied history of top notch writing, with many of his books ending up as horror fan favorites. It may be the best of

After the disappointment of The Dark Tower, there’s a lot of pressure on Andrés Muschietti, director of the upcoming feature-film version of Steven King’s sprawling doorstop of a novel It, to get his adaptation right.

Giving horror fans enough nightmare fuel to last them until next Halloween, Channel Zero: Candle Cove has cranked up the fright factor to eleven over its first four episodes. Over the past couple of weeks, Daily Dead, along with other journalists, had the opportunity to take part in conference calls with showrunner Nick Antosca, who discussed adapting Kris Straub's unsettling creepypasta, how the show found a home at Syfy, getting Greg Nicotero's help in designing the look of The Tooth Child, and what to expect in season 2, which will focus on Brian Russell's NoEnd House.
Nick Antosca on which puppet-like character scared him growing up and having Don Mancini (Child's Play films) in the writers' room for Candle Cove:
When I was a kid, they used to play that [Child's Play] on USA all the time. I remember seeing Child’s Play 2 and Chucky killing the teacher,...

Stranger Things is the perfect summer binge watch - fun, suspenseful and beautifully shot, with heroes and heroines that make you say, "she looks like this person I know" - and then they're up against a super creepy monster. It's the kind of show that makes you feel sad when it's over (there are already rumblings about a second season). Kate Hudson called it "all kinds of awesome." Plus the music is cool. From the opening sequence, Stranger Things evokes the beloved '80s filmmaking of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, John Hughes and others.

Corey Feldman has a lot to be thankful for on his 45th birthday. The former child star, who turned 45 on Saturday, recently released a new double-album titled Angelic 2 the Core, which had been in the works for over a decade. "I feel very grateful and very lucky to be alive still, to have any kind of semblance of normal life," he tells the AP. "I am blessed to have a beautiful child, a beautiful home, a beautiful girlfriend and a beautiful career ... I don't take any of it for granted."

The Dark Tower film has seen a journey to film fraught with almost as many perils as its hero Roland Deschain encounters on his way to The Dark Tower itself. There have been many fits and starts, but, finally, filming on the big screen adaptation is underway with less than a year to go until its theatrical release.
So far we've gotten drips and drabs of news from the production, and a when author Steven King dropped this cryptic pic...
And this tweet...
"The Dark Tower is close, now. The Crimson King awaits. Soon Roland will raise the Horn of Eld. And blow."
... People unfamiliar with King's magnum opus, were perplexed; however, those of us who have not forgotten the face of our fathers knew we were not getting a simple adaptation of the novels, but something a little more intriguing: a continuation of Roland's story.

Stranger Things, Netflix’s new sci-fi horror series is made by and for our kind of people. Movie nerds Matt and Ross Duffer have translated their love of classic Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Wes Craven and Stephen King pictures into an eight-part drama that feels as comfortable as sinking into your favourite chair.
Set in 1983 Indiana, Stranger Things is the story of a boy’s disappearance, odd goings-on at a local government facility and the mystery arrival of a peculiar little girl. With a very likeable young cast (think Freaks & Geeks if Sam, Bill and Neil had to deal with real monsters, not just the high school variety) and Winona Ryder, David Harbour and Matthew Modine capably leading the grown-ups,...

A scene from a time near the beginning of storytelling as a communal activity, or hear the end, a time when myth and religion finally reunite, or a time before their sundering.
Here’s a few words from George Lucas, of Star Wars fame: “Mythology is a performance piece that gets acted out over hundreds of years before it actually becomes embedded in clay on a tablet or is put down on a piece of paper to be codified as a fixed thing. But originally it was performed for a group of people in a way in which the psychological feedback would tell the narrator which way to go. Mythology was created out of what emotionally worked as a story.”

I love Vikings. I love the costumes, I love the hair, I love the strong women who take no guff. I love how the show hides education inside interesting character arcs, betrayal, and violence. It’s edutainment for adults. So when I heard yesterday that Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha) had been cast in the film adaptation of Steven King’s The Dark Tower, I was excited. But then I remembered the how Hollywood thinks, and I got nervous. Back in March, Idris Elba (Luthor, Pacific Rim) was announced as Roland Deschain, the Gunslinger in The Dark Tower. A great piece of news. But if Hollywood is known for anything, it’s tempering a good decision with a terrible one. And the track record for casting two black leads in a fantasy-action film is…not good.Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is Will Smith’s After Earth.

You might think of Hulu as the home of comedies like The Mindy Project and Difficult People, but the streaming service is about to get dark — the site dropped trailers for its latest originals at its Television Critics Association panel today, and it's going all-in on some drama. The first, 11.22.63, stars James Franco as Jake Epping, a high school teacher who finds a way to travel back in time to the 1960s to attempt to stop the JFK assassination. 11.22.63 is based on the novel by Steven King and it features J.J. Abrams as an executive producer. The eight-part miniseries is coming to a laptop near you on President's Day, so check it out if you want to see the most clean-cut version of Franco we've had in years. While James Franco is stuck in the past, Aaron Paul's doing his best to escape a mysterious cult. Hulu's other new drama,...

Throughout the 1960s-early 1970s, a combination of financial desperation, creative daring, and an adventurous movie-going public had produced a creative detonation in mainstream American movies not seen before or since. Each year of the period seemed to bring at least one mightily ambitious visual experiment by a new contributor to the commercial movie scene, the “look” of that effort being as much a part of its identity as its characters and story. One could pick no better representative of the trend than Stanley Kubrick, for no director of the time so extended the boundaries of mainstream commercial filmmaking, or what it meant to be a mainstream commercial filmmaker.
For the most part, Kubrick’s professional ascent was built on the taking of standard genres – the war story, science fiction tale, sword-and-sandal epic – and twisting them into shapes so singular that each Kubrick outing became an acknowledged one-of-a-kind classic. Paths of Glory...

I love movie and television soundtracks. I’ll often use a given soundtrack while I work, letting it fuel my writing. I can’t listen to music with lyrics in them; that interferes with my process. I’ll get themes, characters, even scenes or whole plots from the music. Soundtrack music is in service of the story that the film is trying to tell; it’s a part of the narrative, heightening the emotion that’s being invoked.
I have my own particular favorites. The composers usually have a large body of work but certain key works resonate within me – Jerry Goldsmith’s Chinatown and Patton, James Horner with Field of Dreams, Shaun Davey’s Waking Ned Devine, Elmer Bernstein’s To Kill A Mockingbird (has there ever been a more beautiful and evocative theme?) and, of course, The Magnificent Seven.

A bright and sharp-minded contributor to Australian scriptwriting for more than a decade, James - at the youthful age of 41 years, husband and father of two young boys - succumbed to a diabetic coma on 11 January and was tragically unable to recover. He passed away peacefully on 20 January, surrounded by family.
A boy from Perth, James' talent was noticed early; he was singled out via a competition and sent to La for an experience that cemented his intention to become a writer. In various roles - including Script Editor, Script Producer and freelance writer - James worked on many of our fine dramas,...

TV drama Haven, based on Steven King’s The Colorado Kid, has been running since 2010. Now, they’ve added William Shatner to the mix in a piece of enterprising casting.
He’ll play a ‘pivotal character that has the potential to forever impact the fate of the town of Haven and its troubled residents,’ we’re told.
Mr Shatner will hang around for four episodes, with an arc all of his own, acting as the bridge between them.
Haven season five is screening right now around the world, but Shatner will beam into proceedings after the mid-season break, at some point next year.

George Romero’s second collaboration with Orion Pictures was curious to say the least, considering how things turned out with their previous effort Monkey Shines. Perhaps Romero was still feeling the urge to scratch that obsessive itch to tackle the themes of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde that inspired him with Monkey Shines and the opportunity to film in his hometown of Pittsburgh might have been an enticing perk. Ironically this time his troubles with Orion were caused by their drastic financial situation and The Dark Half was forced to sit on the shelf for two years before getting buried at the box office.
Romero’s adaptation of Steven King’s novel wasn’t a return to form, but there was definitely a creative spark that was lacking in his previous movie. The Dark Half was arguably his friend’s most personal work and it tackles themes that Romero could certainly identify with,...

Steven King’s books and films are rife with zombie babies, witches, vampires and werewolves. This lengthy list of creatures now includes your average next door neighbor, the serial killer.

Their daughter is getting married in a few weeks.

Before he ever went to hell, fought Freddy, froze through time, or launched into space, Jason Voorhees embarked on one of the scariest, weirdest and most craziest frontiers of them all: New York.
Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan stands as a classic amongst Jason Junkies, forever revered and remembered as the hockey mask’s first outing outside Crystal Lake (unless you count Part 2, in which Jason tracks down his mom’s decapitator and bumps her off during the first five), as well as Paramount’s final stab into the billion dollar franchise. And like its unstoppable poster boy who never dies, the 13th legacy will always remain—along with generations of fans requesting tales and testimonies from those who have taken part in the Jason saga.

Throughout the 1960s-early 1970s, a combination of financial desperation, creative daring, and an adventurous movie-going public had produced a creative detonation in mainstream American movies not seen before or since. Each year of the period seemed to bring at least one mightily ambitious visual experiment by a new contributor to the commercial movie scene, the “look” of that effort being as much a part of its identity as its characters and story. One could pick no better representative of the trend than Stanley Kubrick, for no director of the time so extended the boundaries of mainstream commercial filmmaking, or what it meant to be a mainstream commercial filmmaker.
For the most part, Kubrick’s professional ascent was built on the taking of standard genres – the war story, science fiction tale, sword-and-sandal epic – and twisting them into shapes so singular that each Kubrick outing became an acknowledged one-of-a-kind classic. Paths of Glory...

The story behind "The Dark Tower's" road to becoming a movie is long and filled with many twists and turns. J.J. Abrams was interested in adapting the Steven King series of novels as far back as 2007, though he later dropped out. Ron Howard was also connected to the films, but Universal eventually pulled their support from the project and Warner Bros. passed.
That doesn't mean all hope is lost, however. AICN caught up with "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul at Sundance and he reveals that meetings have taken place to put him in the franchise, which includes a trilogy of movies and a possible TV series, as the character Eddie Dean.
"I've had a ton of meetings on that," he says. "I just had a general sit down with Ron Howard, who is a huge fan of the show, which is such a crazy thing to even think that...

For those of you who couldn't get enough of the Steven King-spawned "Under the Dome" last summer, good news. During press tour, President of CBS Entertainment Nina Tassler announced that the show will be coming back for its second season on Mon. June 30. "It became the biggest scripted summer series in 21 years," Tassler said.

As a society we have always had a fascination with clowns, they’re funny, crazy and sometimes just outright creepy and scary. Thanks to the Steven King novel that was made into the 1990 hit film It, long gone are the years where we could attend a child’s birthday party without wondering if the source of entertainment has a body count in their basement. My first viewing of the film Stitches was during the 2012 Mile High Horror Film Festival, of course going into the theater I was expecting a typical tale where the clown creeps me out and I have to swear off the carnival for a month or so, leaving the theater I had turned into a huge fan of the film.
Stitches is an Irish horror comedy that is brought to us by director Conor McMahon and starring Ross Noble as our pleasantly lewd but loveable clown.

Steven King II and Angela Steinfurth pleaded guilty Tuesday in the killing of her 18-month-old daughter, whose remains were found in a box in a garage three months after she was reported missing. Prosecutors said the mother tossed the toddler across her bedroom in early June because she wouldn't stop crying, severely injuring the girl. King, the 24-year-old ex-boyfriend, told a Toledo judge that he had found the girl, Elaina Steinfurth, injured in her bedroom and that he tried to resuscitate her. He said he then covered her mouth until she stopped breathing and put her in a bag. The...

It's been two and a half years since AMC gave Frank Darabont the boot from The Walking Dead, the ratings juggernaut that still puts Sunday Night Football to shame. It's the largest gap on his resume since the early '00s, when he took six years to adapt Steven King's 1980 novella The Mist for the silver screen. Now he's back with Mob City, TNT's tense, fast-moving mini-series about 1940's Los Angeles. The script is colorful yet succinct – "the bad guys wear flashy shoes" – with violent visuals that call to...

The opening scenes of Jade Castro's Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings follow a preschooler as he walks around his small Philippine hometown, childishly mocking gay men until one reacts in fury, cursing him to turn gay when he's grown. (Imagine Steven King's Thinner if the old woman had croaked out, "Fabulous!") Cut to Remington (Martin Escudero), fully grown, falling for a local girl (improbably named Hannah Montano) while at night a series of ghostly encounters transform him into a walking—well, sashaying—gay stereotype. (A clever touch: After a ghost ties a knot in Remington's tongue, the film, largely in Tagalog, starts using a second set of subtitles to indicate Baklese, a local gay dialect.) Meanwhile, someone is ...

Carrie directed by Kimberly Peirce is a re-imagining of the classic horror tale of Stephen King’s best selling novel about Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. Carrie also stars Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, and Ansel Elgort.
Kimberly was it a bit scary to take on a project that was so iconic for people?
Kimberly Peirce: It was overwhelmingly challenging but it’s also a place in my arc where I don’t mind going, same thing when I was writing about Stop Loss. My brother was fighting in Iraq and it was killing me and people were dying and I thought if I’m going to write about this I better know...

I remember the first time I saw director Mary Lambert's big screen adaptation of Pet Sematery. It scared the hell out of me! After I watched I read the book, and that scared the hell out of me as well! It's one of my favorite films based on a Steven King novel. The movie inspired a new documentary currently in production called Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary, and a trailer has been released for it!
Here's the synopsis:
Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary is an independent documentary taking an extensive look at the making of Pet Sematary, the origins of the story, the stories of cast and crew, memories of the Maine locals who helped make the film, and the legacy the film has established among horror fans and scholars of Stephen King's work.

The Shining must be a lot of peoples minds lately. Steven King has penned a sequel to the original novel, Doctor Sleep (released this September), which sees hero Danny Torrance all grown up and battling vampires who feed off children with psychic gifts, and now Warner Bros. are going back to the well also, with a prequel, The Overlook Hotel, to Stanley Kubrick's classic adaption of the novel in the works. Former The Walking Dead show runner Glen Mazzara has being brought on to write the script, which, going by the name, will focus on the infamous hotel which provided the setting for the events of the movie. There's no word on the story, but there is any number of places the movie can jump from, anything from the hotel's construction on an ancient Indian burial ground, to the 1920's parties that are the focus of the supernatural manifestations,...

Now that Argo‘s in the can, Ben Affleck is apparently struggling with his hoped-for remake of Steven King‘s The Stand. “Right now we’re having a very hard time,” Affleck told GQ. “But I like the idea — it’s like ‘The Lord of the Rings’ in America. And it’s about how we would reinvent ourselves as a society. If we started all over again, what would we do?” Someone ought to tell Ben that Rob Lowe and Laura San Giacomo already crushed The Stand in the 1994 miniseries, and that he should just move on to some other King properties ripe for the directing. Such as…

Shuffle and Stories is an attempt to get a more personal look on why we feel the way we do about music. Music is like art, subjective, and that means that everyone has a different way at looking at one album or band. Every week I’ll pick from one of ten songs when my library is on shuffle and talk about the music but also talk about why I personally like it or tell any personal stories regarding the music.
Oh man that is a pretty killer list as far as great bands (Xtc, Sad Lovers and Giants, Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins) but there is one band that outshines all of them combined; Scooter.
Scooter is bar none the silliest band out there. Almost all their songs heavily rely on samples or inspiration from other riffs, they’ve been notorious with their use of high pitch-shifted vocals, their melodies...

The Movie Pool takes on Saban's Big Bad Beetleborgs Season One Volume One DVD set!
The Set-up
A trio of kids become their favorite comic book heroes - the BeetleBorgs - when they stumble across a haunted house and a phasm who grants their wish. Season One Volume One includes the first 27 episodes of the first season.
The Delivery
If you grew up in the 1990s, you have Saban to thank for making your childhood both weird and awesome. Their knack for repurposing Japanese action shows for young American audiences may have seemed silly at the time, but it laid the groundwork for our current obsession with Japanese pop culture.
Big Bad BeetleBorgs is a goofy, strange, and oddly entertaining kid's show that did not win over many critics at the time of its premiere in 1996. It did, however, sell a lot of toys as part of the ever-expanding Saban...
