The Weirdest Two Minutes of Your Day Will Be Spent Watching David Lynch’s Intro to Twin Peaks‘ Comic-Con Panel

David Lynch did not attend the recent San Diego Comic-Con, but he was there in spirit—delivering maybe the single weirdest panel introduction in convention history.

British writer Jack Thorne has been hired to retool the script for Star Wars: Episode IX, working from a draft penned by the film’s director, Colin Trevorrow, and his writing partner Derek Connolly. Rian Johnson (The Last Jedi) wrote the initial treatment. Since we have no idea what is in the script for Episode IX,…

Taika Waititi Approached Thor: Ragnarok As a Standalone Movie, Not a Sequel

At the recent San Diego Comic-Con, we caught up with Taika Waititi, the dapper director of Thor: Ragnarok, to ask him a few questions about the highly-anticipated Marvel sequel—though he soon admitted that one of the first things he did was toss aside the idea that he was making a sequel at all. It makes…

Ian McShane Has Joined the New Hellboy Movie

Though Ian McShane is best-known for his TV work—Mr. Wednesday on American Gods, Brother Ray on Game of Thrones, Al Swearengen on Deadwood, etc.—the colorful actor has also had his share of memorable big-screen outings. He’ll be adding another now that he’s joined the Hellboy reboot. McShane will play Professor Broom, guardian of Hellboy, played…

Twin Peaks‘ Slow Pace Is Actually Genius, and This Video Explains Why

Twin Peaks: The Return is visually stunning and thematically complex, with dozens of characters and plot lines inhabiting a world that’s slowly being invaded by a dark parallel dimension. “Slowly” is a key descriptor, but the show’s unique pace is a very deliberate choice made by David Lynch. In a short video post for Fandor, filmmaker…

Zoo’s 19 Craziest Moments, Including That Time Ants Tried to Blow Up the Hadron Collider

CBS’s Zoo—about a team of globe-trotting experts battling a catastrophic animal uprising and its aftermath—might be the most insane show on network TV, and it’s only gotten crazier in its current third season. Here are Zoo’s most WTF moments… so far. Look, we’re telling you there are spoilers. But, that said, this show is so…

Stranger Things‘ Paul Reiser Ponders Who Would Win in a Fight, the Alien or the Demogorgon

The most inspired addition to the Stranger Things season two cast is Paul Reiser, someone genre fans love to hate for his role as the sleazy Burke in Aliens. So obviously, we had to ask this uniquely qualified actor the ultimate scifi monster question: who’d win in a brawl, the Alien or the Demogorgon? Of…

Add All of These Science Fiction and Fantasy Books to Your August Reading List

August brings the final book in N.K. Jemison’s Hugo-winning Broken Earth trilogy, The Stone Sky—as well as Stephen Baxter’s sequel to H.G. Wells’ classic The War of the Worlds (ominously titled The Massacre of Mankind). And those are just two of the titles on this rather long list, so you’d better start turning some pages.…

Stranger Things Producer Shawn Levy Had to Move Mountains to Get the Rights to ‘Thriller’

At the recent San Diego Comic-Con, we got a chance to talk to Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy moments after the awesome season two trailer dropped. Naturally, the first word on our lips was “Thriller”—and as Levy revealed, the iconic Michael Jackson song almost didn’t make it into the clip. We have to agree—it’d…

A Determined Hero Saves His City in the Retro Video Game-Inspired Gummy Gas Crisis

A chipper hero named Ed bleeps and blorps through his city—which looks and sounds suspiciously like a retro video game—in Rodrigo Díaz’s short animation Gummy Gas Crisis. Ed’s mission: to chase down a baddie named Lord Gadiseous, who’s spreading gas (the stinky kind) all over town. [Everything Animated]

A Woman and Her Zombie Stalker Make for the Ultimate Odd Couple in It Stains the Sands Red

A desperate woman, a decaying man, and a vast desert are the three main characters in It Stains the Sands Red, an unusual zombie movie that’s both gory and heartfelt, and admirably makes the most of its minimalist set-up. The odds don’t look good for Molly (Brittany Allen), a high-maintenance party girl who finds herself…

Vampire Bikers Rule the Road in the New Episode of Eerie Animated Web Series Ghost Radio

In May, we shared the first episode of Cristian Ponce’s spooky animated web series, Ghost Radio, about a late-night radio show wafting over the airwaves from the monster-choked town of Kirlian. Episode two is here, and it’s another tale of terror, titled “Masters of the Night.” In this installment, a motorist stranded in Kirlian overnight…

The Next Season of Lucifer Promises a ‘Deeper Dive Into Devilishness’

The Lucifer panel began with a teaser reel showing snippets of the shenanigans we’ll see in the show’s four upcoming standalone episodes, which will air ahead of season three this fall. There’ll be partying, fighting, Vegas mischief, and at least one scene involving the juggling of breast implants. The goofy vibe carried over when the…

What to Expect in The Exorcist Next Season, Including Lots of ‘Weird Shit Happening in the Woods’

The Exorcist begins shooting its second season next week, so show brought no new trailer or even images to Comic-Con this year. But thanks to the cast and crew, we still got some insights into what to expect from the surprisingly excellent horror series come September 29, as the spooky show shifts locations and adds…

No One on Twin Peaks Knows What’s Happening Either, But They Still Love Making It

Quite obviously, the cast of what may be TV’s most spoiler-protected show ever wasn’t going to march out onto Comic-Con’s Hall H stage and start spilling secrets, especially in the absence of David Lynch. In fact, they couldn’t even if they wanted to—aside from perhaps MacLachlan, the actors are only allowed to read the pages…

The First Teaser for American Horror Story: Cult Tells Us Nothing, But It Sure Is Full of Creepy-Ass Clowns

Now we’ve got our first teaser. And indeed, it is bursting with evil clowns. It also plays off the…

Ghosted Is Funnier Than Its First Trailer, But There’s Still Room For Improvement

We weren’t stoked on the Ghosted trailer when it dropped in May, but now we’ve seen the full pilot for the Fox scifi buddy comedy starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott—and we can report that while the show’s first episode is still a little rough, it has definite potential. It’s tempting to just be sucked…

Stan Against Evil Gives Us a Peek at Season Two’s Monsters and Mayhem

Season one of horror comedy Stan Against Evil packed a ton of witch-slaying into eight fast-paced episodes—and while it wasn’t the most original thing we’d ever seen, star John C. McGinley’s endearingly boorish performance was enough to make us cheer when season two was announced. Now we finally have a new trailer, and we talked…

A Scientist Goes Mad (With Good Reason) in Weirdly Witty Scifi Short Eddie

Eddie takes place deep within an otherwise abandoned laboratory, where a struggling scientist has only his shambling, gruesome, zombie-like research subject—the title character—to keep him company. It’s a great set-up, elevated by a wonderfully deadpan tone and some very funny asides. Director and co-writer John Lynch hopes Eddie will serve as a proof-of-concept to make…
