Dracula. The very name conjures images of sexuality, corruption, and decadence. From the original novel written by Bram Stoker in 1897 to the moment Bela Lugosi donned the famed opera cloak in 1931, the character of Dracula has been an iconic horror staple. In fact, Dracula has been the subject of over 200 films, second
Fans have helped rescue one of the great lost gems of PC gaming by making 1997’s Blade Runner playable on modern PCs. Let’s start with a little history lesson.

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. “So then, who will be the next leader?” The season premiere of My Hero Academia was bogged down with backstory and playing catch up, but it’s an episode that still looked exclusively at the heroes of this world.

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. In 1993, Kevin Smith made a movie. Clerks was shot in black and white over the course of three weeks, at night, in the convenience store where Smith worked during the day, on a shoestring budget of $27,575. Smith funded the film himself by dipping into his
Move over, Batman, there’s a new hero in the DC Universe with a secret identity who wears black, sports black eye makeup, hangs out in a cavernous setting, and is associated with bats. Of course I am referring to Svengoolie, the horror movie show host who emerged from the gotham that is Chicago, and can
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order may be the most important Star Wars game publisher Electronic Arts has ever released.

Traditionally,
Well, here’s something we never expected to see. Cowboy Bebop, the brilliant, space-hopping anime with one of the greatest soundtracks in TV history is getting a live action adaptation for Netflix. Here’s the official synopsis of the new series…which sounds just like the synopsis of the original series. Which is great! “Cowboy Bebop is the
Batman is getting a new creative team in January, as James Tynion IV and Tony S. Daniel take over the book to stear the Dark Knight in a whole new direction. Unfortunately, that direction seems to lead to more pain for the Caped Crusader, who will be in the process of recovering from both his
If you were to paint the death of the Gothic horror film genre in the style of Julius Caesar’s murder, it would be tempting to portray Alfred Hitchcock as the man holding the bloodiest dagger. In the ‘50s, Hammer Film Productions successfully rescued the horror genre from promotional gimmicks and science fiction by reviving the

This The Good Place review contains spoilers. The Good Place Season 4 Episode 4 The Good Place season 4 episode 4 “Tinker, Tailor, Demon, Spy” ends with a moment that suggests a set up to one of the most tried and true methods in the sitcom handbook: the odd pairing. Michael and Jason stand on a
Stephen King’s novel The Outsider is becoming a limited series at HBO, which has given the adaptation a 10-episode order.

If you choose to stick with Fallout 76 through 2020, you’ll eventually get to interact with human NPCs in the game’s Wastelanders expansion. This upcoming DLC will see other wanders come into the wasteland looking for a place to call home. While the full cast of NPCs hasn’t been revealed, it seems that it will
This spoiler-free Daybreak review is based on viewing of the first five episodes.

If you’ve been following Justice League over the last year or so, you’ll know that this isn’t a book that does small stories. If you’re going to roll out the heaviest hitters in the DC Universe, then the threats and situations you put them in have to get even bigger and wilder to compensate. For
Since the days of tabletop gaming, the appeal of role-playing games has long been tied to the opportunity to…well…play a role.

What We Do in the Shadows Season 2 is definitely coming to FX. Bust out the creepy crepe paper! “Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi and Paul Simms have more than delivered on the high expectations of Shadows fans by adapting the cult classic for television and building a passionate base of new and returning fans,” Nick Grad,
We currently live in a world where powerful bigots “fan the flames of a racial fire” instead of stoke violence with their savage racism. Where everything shy of uttering a racial slur in anger is merely “denounced by some as racist” or “racially charged.” So it’s easy to be concerned, when you hear about a
In an interview with Gamespot, Devolver Digital founder co-founder Graeme Struthers defends Steam in regards to their revenue split model and other business practices. “Every month we were getting paid, and you were being paid accurately,” says Struthers of Steam. “We’ve all got our horror stories about doing audits on our publishers and finding huge
This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 6 Episode 2 It sure looks like that shift in tone I noted from last week’s season premiere might be here to stay. This can only be a good thing. After over 100 episodes (and hundreds more when you factor in all of its Arrowverse brethren)
