Stephen King thankfully suggested his latest film be released in theaters
In the modern age of cinema, production houses are typically focused on the widespread streaming landscape. In doing so, these companies release the latest craze on streaming platforms rather than letting it perform well in theaters. And while it looked as though The Boogeyman was set to experience the same fate, author Stephen King thankfully stepped in and suggested that one of his scariest adaptations deserves to be watched in theaters. And thus, the switch happened, seeing as it’s difficult to try and argue with a King.
Viola Davis in a zombie flick is the collab we never knew we needed
Without a doubt, Oscar winner Viola Davis is considered to be one of the greatest actresses of this generation. With an incredible knack for delivering awe-inspiring performances to dipping her toes in a variety of genres, the Fences star herself admitted that she’s heavily interested in starring in a zombie horror movie. In fact, she even proclaimed that she wants to “fight zombies” in a future role. We don’t know if it’ll ever happen, of course, but we’ll certainly be seated for it.
Scream VI’s digital release brings back discussions of a potential character death
The long-standing Scream franchise is notorious for killing off characters in a jaw-dropping way. With the release of Scream VI on Paramount Plus, fans are sifting back through potential moments in the series’ sixth outing. In the process, users on Twitter have uncovered the possibility that Chad Meeks-Martin should have died at the hands of two Ghostface killers which stabbed him several times. Then again, when it comes to the “magic” of the horror genre, no character is ever truly dead.
Crawl back in tomorrow, Davis stans, for a fresh-faced horror roundup.
