Toe Tagged: FEARnet

I’ve never been close to those who work for FEARnet, but I have always considered myself a colleague of theirs and visa-versa. And with the news that FEARnet will be closing up shop and no longer contributing to the horror community comes at a complete shock. The story goes that Comcast NBCUniversal bought out FEARnet in April of this year and since NBCUniversal already owns the rights to Syfy and Chiller TV channels, FEARnet was seen as a waste of redundant space.

Six years. That is how long FEARnet has brought horror to your computer and to your television. All the hard work from the employees and the contributors, most of whom have been laid off, is not for naught as we will continue to reminisce about each remarkable story that has been written about our favorite horror movies and icons.

Farewell FEARnet. You’re grave is waiting…RIP July 30th.

SDCC 2014: Mad Max Fury Road is Finally here!

Posted by Steven Lewis on

Nearly 30 years have passed since the last Mad Max film, Beyond Thunderdome, and now we’re graced the next installment from this years San Diego Comic Con – Mad Max: Fury Road.

Looks like carnage and bliss rolled into one fucked up fruit rollup. Tom Hardy is a great choice to help reprise the role of Max from Mel Gibson and you can’t go wrong with creator George Miller at the helm. Got to love the Aussies!

SDCC 2014: An Evil Dead Television Series?

Posted by Steven Lewis on

Along with the latest news on the big screen adaptation of the popular video game The Last of Us came a tidbit of news from Sam Raimi who was also speaking of some exciting news that his franchise baby (or cash cow) The Evil Dead might be coming to TV land and he’s writing it.

On top of this news, Ivan Raimi is co-writing and Bruce Campbell will be starring – as Ash, that is uncertain. That’s all we know at the moment and we anxiously wait for more!

Some exciting news for gaming was announced yesterday at San Diego’s Comic-con, when Neil Druckmann (the writer of the last of us) and filmmaker Sam Raimi officially announced a movie adaption for The Last of Us. No director has been announced but we have been told that Raimi will produce it through Ghost House pictures and the script will be written by Neil Druckmann.  As for the lead roles there has been no word on who is who but we have heard that young actress Maisie William (Game of Thrones) may be cast to play as Ellie, the 14-year-old main protagonist.

The Last of Us is a 2013 apocalyptic survival game developed by Naughty Dog games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

The game’s story is set in the year 2013 when a mutant strain of Cordycep fungus begins to infect humans and leads to a global pandemic, bringing down all of civilization. Twenty years later the story centers around a male smuggler named Joel who is hired to escort a 14-year-old girl across the ruins of the United States.

The Last of Us is only available on Playstation 3 and coming soon to Playstation 4.
