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…

Prehistoric Ghost Rider Has the Coolest, Most Batshit Ride for the Marvel Legacy Event

When we learned that Marvel’s Legacy event would kick off with the origin story of prehistoric Avengers who team up in the year 1,000,000 BC, we were kinda skeptical of the premise, but when we saw art for the team, the idea suddenly clicked. But there was still one Avenger we had concerns about. The…

Hey, Remember the Last Time Spock Had a Secret Sibling on Star Trek?

It was recently revealed that the main character of Star Trek: Discovery, Lieutenant Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), was raised by Spock’s parents and is, therefore, Spock’s adopted sister. And my reaction was, “How many secret siblings does Spock have?” Because we’ve gone down this road before. It’s been a long road getting from there…

Tim Curry’s Pennywise Spotted in Latest It Trailer

The new full-length trailer for the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s It is damn scary, with Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise looking, sounding, and overall being downright terrifying. However, Skarsgard isn’t the first clown to take on the role, and he has some oversized shoes to fill. Lucky for us, Tim Curry’s iconic clown has a place…

For the Last Time, Batman Is Not a Metahuman

Though he doesn’t have traditional super powers like most of his friends, Batman’s got a lot going for him. He’s a handsome, rich, athletic white guy with virtually endless resources at his disposal. And yet, every so often, people come along who feel as if that’s not enough to make Batman a real superhero. Batman…

Two Writers Did a Hilarious Deconstruction of Horror Movies On Twitter Last Night

On a night where the world was focused on health care, two genre authors decided to go in the opposite direction. They joked about and discussed a genre best known for death: horror. Last night, authors Sam Sykes (The Mortal Tally, An Affinity for Steel) and Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath, Blackbirds) had a long…

Hulu’s Runaways Don’t Have Time to Care About the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Avengers

As its name suggests, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an awfully big place, including multiple planets and dimensions and a ton of characters. When Hulu’s Runaways series premieres this fall, it’ll be a part of the MCU too, but it won’t be pushing too hard for any major crossovers. Speaking at a Runaways presentation to…

Robert Pattinson Was Almost Fired From Twilight for Acting as Miserable as We Felt

It’s no secret Twilight star Robert Pattinson hates the franchise more than almost anyone else. He stopped bathing during filming, he’s talked shit about the fandom for years. And he was almost fired for refusing to be happy. During an interview on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show, Pattinson chatted about how he was almost fired…

Everything from Star Wars to My Little Pony to Magic: The Gathering will have exclusive merchandise at the convention, but the best of all: an Optimus Prime toy that’s part robot, part…

Power Rangers’ Post-Credit Scene Was Almost Much More Explicitly About the Green Ranger

Anyone who sat through Power Rangers’ credits long enough earlier this year saw the tiny mid-credit scene that teased the only logical next step for the franchise’s sequels: the introduction of Tommy Oliver, future Green Ranger. But according to screenwriter John Gatin, the scene was originally very different. In the scene that showed in theaters,…

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…

Somehow, Thor’s Appearance in the Infinity War Footage Isn’t a Ragnarok Spoiler

The past two weekends, at two different conventions, Marvel has screened footage from Avengers: Infinity War. And each time, the first new scene in the footage, featuring Thor, gets a shocked gasp. At San Diego Comic-Con, io9 asked the director of Thor: Ragnarok about that moment and he gave a very curious answer. When we…

Steven Universe‘s Best Song Now Has Its Own Fantastic, Heartwarming Official Music Video

“Stronger Than You” is perhaps Steven Universe’s best-known song, and is certainly one of its most beloved—a funky ode to the power of love that defines the series’ core themes. Cartoon Network took to Comic-Con last weekend to give the song its own music video, and it’s a lovely tribute to the show’s fans. In…

This Homemade Evil Dead Bird Feeder Is So Damn Good

Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy is one of those series that has almost too much merchandise, in the form of toys, props, t-shirts—you name it, and it’s probably been licensed. One thing we’ve never seen, though, is maybe the best of the bunch: this custom bird feeder that looks exactly like the haunted cabin from the…

Dark Matter Reminds Us of the Importance of Baking When Stranded in the Past

This Friday’s episode of Dark Matter sees our numerically-named crew flung through time and space and ending up in Wisconsin in 2017. You know, like you do. I’m actually a sucker for this plot, as cliché as it is. I mean, yes, the “travel back in time to what is—coincidentally—the actual present” plot has backfired…
