Jackson is re-teaming with his Shaft director Tim Story on Man of War, a western action thriller where Jackson will try to save his town from a corrupt tycoon, per Deadline. Directed by Story from a script by Sheldon Turner (X-Men: First Class), Jackson will portray “a newly retired and long-revered general who returns to his hometown in rural Georgia after the death of his wife to find it in the throes of corruption, gentrification and racism. Using battle-honed strategy and combat skills, he’ll wage all-out war against the town and the billionaire exploiting it.” Jackson and Story had worked together on the 2019 sequel Shaft, where Jackson reprised his role from the 2000 film alongside Jesse T. Usher as Shaft’s son and original Shaft actor Richard Roundtree as Shaft Sr. Story’s other films include Marvel’s Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer as well as Kevin Hart’s Ride Along films. His upcoming films are The Pickup with Eddie Murphy and 72 Hours where he will reunite with Hart. As for Jackson, he remains one of the most in demand actors in the industry with several films in various stages of production. He’s known for many iconic roles, but one of his most recent is as MCU super spy Nick Fury which he last reprised in The Marvels. With the recent announcement of the Avengers: Doomsday cast and the promise of further announcements to come, we’ll have to wait and see if Jackson will return to Marvel for the next Avengers films.

- [How To Watch The Amityville Horror Movies In Order - Looper](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/13/how-to-watch-the-amityville-horror-movies-in-order-looper/) - MGM Spawned from a case first investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren, the real-world paranormal investigators that the "Conjuring" universe is based on, the 1979 film "The Amityville Horror" would prove to be just the beginning of a completely unhinged pseudo-canon. That's because the "Amityville" universe is based on two things that cannot be trademarked even in the hyper-litigious world of U.S. intellectual property law — a real news story, and an actual location. This means that, while there are a handful of Amityville films associated with that first Warner Bros. release, dozens of films have been made that bear the name. While all are to varying degrees connected to the 1977 novel about the allegedly haunted 1925 Dutch Colonial Long Island home where Ron DeFeo killed six family members in 1974, the big tent of Amityville movies includes a little bit of everything — a witch movie, a werewolf film, even a sexually explicit entry. As Michael Stone of Rotted Reviews put it, "I could fart on camera for an hour and a half and legally release it as 'Amityville Gas Chamber' and nobody would have any rights to sue me." With this in mind, the best way to watch the extended Amityville universe is to start with the films related to the original story in a certain order and then consume the rest of the movies in order of release. It sounds a little complicated, but it's really quite simple. Here's the best viewing order: "Amityville II: The Possession" (1982) "The Amityville Murders" (2018) "The Amityville Horror" (1979 and 2005) "Amityville 3-D" (1983) "Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes" (1989) "The Amityville Curse" (1990) "Amityville: It's About Time" (1992) "Amityville: A New Generation" (1993) "Amityville Dollhouse" (1996) "The Amityville Haunting" (2011) "Amityville: The Awakening" (2017) The various Amityville indie films Amityville II: The Possession (1982) Orion Pictures In a crime that has baffled criminologists and captured the imaginations of paranormal believers for decades, a then-23-year-old Ron "Butch" DeFeo Jr. shot his parents and four younger siblings, ranging in ages from nine to 18. Although author Ric Osuna would later point to the family's abusive patriarch and his alleged ties to organized crime as potential factors in the DeFeos' demise, supernatural claims from the home's future owners would eclipse any real tragedy in the public imagination. "Amityville II: The Possession" is the fictionalized retelling of those real-world horrors that ignited the lore of 112 Ocean Avenue with the DeFeos reimagined as another large Italian-American family, the Montellis. Like the real Ron Sr., Montelli patriarch Anthony (Burt Young) is abusive and miserable. The problem is made worse when the demonically possessed home starts to play dirty tricks and causes the family's relationships to rapidly deteriorate to the point of marital rape and incest. Much of the film follows the same basic storyline as "The Amityville Horror" — family meets dream home, dream home turns out to be haunted, haunted house turns family homicidal. But what the film does well is establish that this isn't a run-of-the-mill haunting; it's a serious demonic possession replete with all the sacrilege you'd find in "The Exorcist." That's a helpful footnote to have as you settle in for the rest of the "Amityville" saga, making "Amityville II: The Possession" a great entry point. If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available. Visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website or contact RAINN's National Helpline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). The Amityville Murders (2018) Skyline "The Amityville Murders" is almost a remake of "Amityville II: The Possession," giving viewers a supernatural account of the real story behind the DeFeo murders but using the real family's names. The film, which features a damning zero percent Rotten Tomatoes critical rating, takes the truly horrific true crime story and attempts to infuse it with paranormal meaning, exploitatively suggesting the DeFeo family's tragedy was caused by demonic forces toying with Ron Jr.'s mind. Given the underlying insensitivity, the reviews are predictably terrible — and it's not just for the problematic premise. The pacing is awful, little effort was put into making the costumes and set historically accurate, and to call the writing middling would be generous. As one IMDb reviewer put it, "Acting was 'meh', watching the mother try to smoke/not smoke that cigarette in the kitchen was painful. Modern doorknobs, electrical outlets and LED candles?" At the end of the day, "The Amityville Murders" at least attempts to tell the real story of the DeFeo family murders, even if it would have been better told as a Netflix documentary. The Amityville Horror (1979 and 2005) American International Pictures Although every Amityville saga completionist should watch both the 1979 version of "The Amityville Horror" and the 2005 remake back-to-back for comparison's sake, it really doesn't matter which version you start with. What does matter is that everyone watching the original film today should consider viewing it through Stephen King's "economic horror" lens, outlined in his 1981 non-fiction book "Danse Macabre." King wrote: "The movie might as well have been subtitled The Horror of the Shrinking Bank Account [...] The Amityville Horror, beneath its ghost-story exterior, is really a financial demolition derby." Both films depict the Lutz family acquiring their Amityville home for well-below market value and right at the limit of what they can afford. Even though they're cool with the whole murder house thing, the bargain starts to fall apart the more they settle in. A door locks a kid in an attic, a priest is unable to bless the home, a nun who visits is stricken with illness, and various other horrifying events plague the family. But the true horror is the family's mental health and emotional stability, which slowly unravel until things start to get violent. While both films generally follow the same storyline, the earlier version, which stars Margot Kidder, James Brolin, and Rod Steiger, is a better film overall despite Ryan Reynolds' strong performance and higher production value aiding the remake. Amityville 3-D (1983) Orion Pictures Set sometime after "The Amityville Horror," "Amityville 3-D" breaks from the "family moves into a haunted house" formula by placing a sworn skeptic into the Amityville universe. Part of a short-lived 3D craze that came about when studio execs got nervous about the rise in VCRs, "Amityville 3-D" (also known as "Amityville III: The Demon") is chock-full of practical effects and gratuitous 3D usage. Some of the more egregious examples include a red Frisbee zooming slowly toward the audience and a well-monster with serious Large Marge energy, with each 3D moment more ridiculous than the last in all the best ways. Rip off those 3D glasses and lean a little closer and you'll find there's actually a pretty decent film hidden underneath the gimmick. The story follows science-minded debunker journalist John Baxter (Tony Roberts) as he moves into the Amityville house while in the middle of a divorce. Along with his daughter Susan (Lori Loughlin before "Full House" and her various garage sale Hallmark movies) and Susan's friend Lisa (Meg Ryan in one of her lesser known movie roles), he begins to encounter supernatural events he can't explain. When they learn the home is built on a Native American burial ground and a gateway to Hell for good measure, things become a little more clear. Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes (1989) NBC If "Amityville 3D" is where the Amityville universe starts to go a little wonky, the campy, Patty Duke-starring made-for-TV sequel "The Evil Escapes" takes us all the way through the looking glass. After all the demonic force and hellmouth talk of the first few films, the entity possessing the Amityville house has quite literally escaped to avoid getting exorcised by a crew of six priests. Mid-exorcism, the demon absconds into a wonderfully quirky standing floor lamp in a demonic game of hide-and-seek (apparently Latin doesn't penetrate through light bulbs). When a real estate agent hosts a sale a few days later, the lamp gets picked up as a $100 gag gift and shipped off to California. Strange and worrisome things immediately start happening. The woman who bought the lamp cuts her finger on it and then dies of tetanus; animals go crazy in its presence; and one family member is mysteriously drawn to it. Before long, the story has become totally unhinged — a plumber drowns in sewage; an electrician loses his hand in the garbage disposal; and the family parrot ends up in the toaster. It's ridiculous, wacky, high late-80s fun that reduces the entire lore to a sentient lamp and adds nothing to the franchise. If you don't take your horror movies seriously and can appreciate a so-bad-it's-good flick, you'll love it. The Amityville Curse (1990) Vidmark Entertainment Released in 1990 and set 12 years after the original Amityville murders, "The Amityville Curse" is adapted from a novel of the same name by Hans Holzer, a real-life parapsychologist and ghost hunter who wrote over a hundred books about the supernatural. From the jump, the film's plot is pretty convoluted and only tangentially connected to the first Amityville story. Sometime after Ron DeFeo murdered his family, a priest is shot to death in a confession booth that is later stored in the clergy house. The booth then gets purchased by a psychologist named Marvin (David Stein) and his wife Debbie (Dawna Wightman). It should go without saying that the confession booth is cursed, leading to all manner of mayhem, misery, and murder in the home. As the body count climbs, revelations are made about the priest's role in everything. Other than a setting and some loose connections, none of it has much to do with the original Amityville story or even the novel it's meant to be based on. And, like the original DeFeo tragedy, the drama revealed to be behind the cursed confessional booth feels a lot more problematic when looked back on from the 2020s. Amityville: It's About Time (1992) Multicom Entertainment A direct-to-video Amityville film that goes hard with bold early-90s fashion and home design choices, "Amityville: It's About Time" is actually more watchable than the previous two entries in the quasi-franchise. That is, once you accept the déjà vu that comes from reviving the whole Amityville-to-California demon transplant by way of sentient second hand goods storyline. The plot finds the lives of suburban architect Jacob Sterling (Stephen Macht) and his family in upheaval after the former returns home from Amityville, where he's been surveying the grounds to build some new tract housing. While he was surveying said grounds, he just happened to find a super cool clock that would go great on the mantel back home. Shortly after Jacob adds his dumpster dive find to his Pottery Barn living room, things take a turn for the demonic, beginning with a gnarly dog bite and rapidly escalating to encompass hallucinations, hate crimes, black slime, a bathtub zombie, and, of course, murders. At one point, a teenager's boyfriend melts into the floor, and the special effects are pretty slick for the day. Even if the story is almost a direct reimagining of the lamp debacle, there's a touch of the Tom Hanks comedy horror "The Burbs" to this entry, with a nostalgic aesthetic and an overall quirkiness that makes it one of the more enjoyable in the canon. Amityville: A New Generation (1993) Republic Pictures Further expanding the cursed object worldbuilding of the Amityville universe, "Amityville: A New Generation" deals with an objectively dreamy but apparently also cursed mirror that just happens to be from the Amityville murder house, and we already know where that leads. The story begins with a flashback to a few years before the DeFeo family moved into the evil home at 112 Ocean Avenue where we learn the DeFeos aren't the only folks to have been murdered there. Way back in 1966, while suffering from serious mental illness, Franklin Bronner blew up his family's Thanksgiving dinner and ended up committed to a state hospital before later killing his wife in front of their child. As "A New Generation" reveals, that child, a boy named Keyes (Ross Partridge), grows up to become a hipster photographer living in an urban artist colony with other artists. Things start to go awry when a homeless man (Jack Orend), who, unbeknownst to Keyes, is his long lost murderous father, catches up with Keyes to give him a demonically possessed mirror that fairly quickly starts taking out his flatmates. Terry O'Quinn, best known as John Lock in "Lost," plays a detective in this film, which also features late "Shaft" star Richard Roundtree. Amityville Dollhouse (1996) Republic Pictures Produced by the same folks responsible for "It's About Time," "Amityville Dollhouse" brings us back to the original hallowed ground of Ocean Avenue, recently (and conveniently) redeveloped after a house fire took everything out. The family at the center of the story is the combined brood of newly married Claire (Starr Andreeff) and Bill Martin (Robin Thomas). As they're moving onto the property, Bill comes across a dollhouse identical to the original Amityville house stashed in the shed. This discovery marks the beginning of the supernatural shenanigans, largely derivative and watered-down versions of the horrors haunting the first few films — think grisly accidents, family pet problems, and inappropriate sexual relationships. Throw in some voodoo dolls, another zombie, some pretty gruesome fly stuff, and a couple of Wiccan relatives duking it out with some demons and you've got another bizarre Amityville entry that underwhelmed most viewers. Although the dollhouse adds some funky size-altering mechanics to the mix, this film is mostly just a mashup of the cursed object and haunted house formulas. And, aside from the dollhouse's appearance (which, admittedly, is pretty cool) and the address of the new house (which we are told is the same as the previous films), there is no clear connection to the franchise. The Amityville Haunting (2011) The Asylum Produced by The Asylum, the cult-following horror production company best known for mockbusters, the "Sharknado" series, and "Z Nation," "The Amityville Haunting" reimagines the novel content of "The Amityville Horror" as a found footage film with the tagline "The family did not survive. But the recordings did." Because the film is set in 2008, finding a way to crunch it into the canon means it either can't exist in the same world as "Dollhouse" or exists in an alternate timeline — but we're not going to worry about any of that. Along with their kids Melanie (Gracie Largent), Tyler (Devin Clark), and Lori (Nadine Crocker), Douglas (Jason Williams) and Virginia Benson (Amy Van Horne) moving into the Amityville house despite knowing about its very dark past and having found their real estate agent dead on the grounds — after all, good real estate is hard to come by. Fortunately, when things go bad, everything gets caught on the extensive CCTV and video footage filmed by Tyler. It's not the freshest take on the saga, nor is it the best thing the Asylum has put out by a long stretch. Amityville: The Awakening (2017) Blumhouse Horror fans should give thanks to Blumhouse for ending the main Amityville saga on a relatively high note with arguably the most complex entry into the primary canon. 2017's "Amityville: The Awakening" boasts a cast that includes Bella Thorne, Jennifer Morrison, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurtwood Smith, and Cameron Monaghan, so there's plenty of talent involved. This entry is a metafilm set in a world where the DeFeo murders are real but "The Amityville Horror" is fictional. Being fully aware of both, the Walkers move into the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville because of the housing crisis and also because the family needs to be closer to a neurologist, since one of the kids has locked-in syndrome. Although on paper "Amityville: The Awakening" presents as another retelling of the same old story, there's a twist involving one of the characters' motivations and the idea that maybe, just maybe, housewife demonic possession could be a feature and not a bug. The film scored lukewarm reviews, but it's easily one of the most accomplished entries in the long-running Amityville saga. IGN called it a "periodically startling" film that would make for a good watch with friends, while Slant called it "an elegant entry" in the series. In short, it's not a world-beater, but if you love Amityville movies, you can do a lot worse. It's a pretty solid way to finish your Amityville viewing journey.

- [Tom Cruise's Only Real Horror Movie Is Still One of His Best - ComicBook.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/13/tom-cruises-only-real-horror-movie-is-still-one-of-his-best-comicbook-com/) - When the genre is action (or even sci-fi), a few names come to mind, and it’s undeniable that Tom Cruise is part of that list. With a career packed with blockbusters – from the classic The Last Samurai or Top Gun, to the famous Mission: Impossible franchise – he’s become a symbol, especially because of his wild stunts. He’s known for doing the impossible, quite literally, with jaw-dropping sequences that have defined his legacy. But even though it might seem like he’s all-in on these kinds of movies (and it’s been a while since we’ve seen him in anything too different), thinking he’s never shown a more dramatic, darker side would be a big mistake. Videos by ComicBook.com Interview with the Vampire (1994) is one of those classics that has stuck around through the years, and a big part of that is thanks to Cruise’s magnetic presence, which helped shape the film’s legacy into what it is today. Honestly, this was one of the boldest and most different roles of his entire career. Sure, he’s taken risks in a few other genres – like Vanilla Sky or Rock of Ages – but seeing him play a vampire in a period piece? That was clearly stepping into new territory (and The Mummy, even though it’s horror, doesn’t even come close). To give an idea, critics and audiences alike praised his role, and many still consider it one of his all-time best performances. warner bros. Based on Anne Rice’s novel of the same name, the movie walks this elegant but haunting line to explore immortality, guilt, loneliness, and bonds that defy time. It follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt), a vampire who, in the present day, decides to share his centuries-old life story with journalist Daniel Molloy (Christian Slater). As he opens up, he reveals how he was turned by Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise), a seductive yet ruthless vampire who pulls him into an eternal life full of moral dilemmas and deep losses. So what makes it so good? The heart of the film is the relationship between the two vampires – a strange, tangled bond that blends love, fear, and dependence. Louis is constantly searching for meaning in his new life, while Lestat mostly just seems to crave company – and control. And that’s where Cruise really shines. He brings an intensity that’s rare to see from him, nailing a mix of aristocratic charm, graceful cruelty, and this eerie sense of vulnerability. He dives headfirst into something way more introspective and layered than we’re used to, which is why it’s so surprising. Even Rice herself doubted at first that Cruise could live up to the character she had imagined. [RELATED: Interview With the Vampire Director Reflects on Casting Tom Cruise as Lestat] He caught a lot of heat behind the scenes – critics and fans were openly demanding someone else. When he was cast, the author didn’t think he had the look or the depth to play the iconic Lestat. In interviews, she went as far as saying casting him was “a colossal mistake.” According to Esquire, she even blamed him for “butchering her script, sanitizing the sexual content to accommodate his clean-cut image, and perpetrating the worst crime in the name of casting.” This was his first big fictional antagonist, so it makes sense that people were protective (her stories had built up a seriously loyal fanbase by then, and he had no real experience with this kind of character). Still, it’s one of those classic cases where people judged too early – Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight faced the same kind of doubt, and look how that turned out. warner bros. Back then, Cruise admitted he was shocked by Rice’s reaction, but it didn’t shake him. In fact, it pushed him harder. He dove into research, determined to prove people wrong. A longtime fan of the genre and totally committed to the role, he ended up delivering one of the best performances of his life. After watching the movie, Rice did a complete 180 – she wrote an open letter praising Cruise and saying he blew away her expectations. “I like to believe Tom’s Lestat will be remembered the way Olivier’s Hamlet is remembered. Others may play the role someday but no one will ever forget Tom’s version of it,” she said at the time. What’s really cool about Cruise’s performance is how quickly he picked up on the real truth behind Lestat, and how that added so much depth to the character. The vampire is a predator, sure – but he’s also a lonely creature terrified of being left behind, hiding all of that power and performance. Cruise managed to show all those layers perfectly, and it’s no wonder Interview with the Vampire became such a hit. The film broke records during its opening weekend, ended up earning over $223 million at the global box office, and it also grabbed some Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. Even now, it’s seen as one of the most iconic vampire movies ever made – and one of the most stylish takes on vampire mythology in cinema. AMC’s recent remake series is just one example of how strong its influence still is. Today, nearly three decades later, Interview with the Vampire is still one of the biggest highlights of Cruise’s career. Not just because it shows a side of him we rarely see, but because it proves that even without all the explosions and high-speed chases, he can deliver something genuinely unforgettable. It’s not just his only real horror movie – it’s also one of the most revealing performances of his talent and a big reason why he’s so firmly rooted in the film industry. Interview with the Vampire is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBO.‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 receives 8.5 out of 10 stars.Back on Max for its second season and debut the first episode on April 13th, ‘The Last of Us’ plunges us back into the chaotic, carefully-crafted world adapted from the Naughty Dog game originally created by Neil Druckmann and his team.Now Druckmann, working again with co-showrunner Craig Mazin, is starting the even more perplexing process of adapting ‘The Last of Us Part II,’ which deepened the story of the game and its hard-bitten survivors.Related Article: 10 Things We Learned at the ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Press ConferenceIs ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 worth battling mushroom zombies to see?(L to R) Bella Ramsey and Gabriel Luna in 'The Last of Us' Season 2. Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBO.Perhaps the biggest question, and indeed challenge facing the new season of the show is whether it can live up to the praise and success of the first. It’s a situation that co-creator Neil Druckmann has faced before in this universe, and it should give fans of the show who never played the game hope that by all regards, ‘The Last of Us Part II’ is seen as superior to the original, much-loved game.Of course, season 2 of a TV series, even one with a pedigree such as this, is a different beast. Yet Druckmann and Mazin have shown remarkable patience and care with their work, bring what works about the game to the screen by making the changes necessary to ensure it functions in a different, less interactive medium.And it’s reassuring to report that, on the basis of the first episode of the new season, ‘Future Days,’ their efforts continue to pay off.Script and Direction(L to R) Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann on the set of 'The Last of Us' Season 2. Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBO.While Mazin and Druckmann do the lion’s share of the writing on the show, the first episode features a script by Halley Wegryn Gross that has a lot of work to do.Though there is a brief moment set right at the end of Season 1, the majority of the episode takes place five years later. With the survivors’ base in Jackson, Wyoming (a former ski resort repurposed as a fortress against the fungi-ravaged zombie-like mutants that prowl the lands between encampments) up and running as a functioning community.That means we not only have to be re-introduced to Pedro Pascal’s tough-but-heartfelt Joel and Bella Ramsey’s headstrong Ellie (now even more so as a 19-year-old brawler itching to take on more responsibility), but fill us in on all the other characters.Bella Ramsey in 'The Last of Us' Season 2. Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBO.The script for ‘Future Days’ is busy but finds time for everyone –– even deviating from the game in introducing and immediately identifying Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Anders as someone who is looking to enact vengeance on Joel for his actions in the final episode of the previous season.Another challenge for the script is to start building towards what game players already know is coming either in this season or the next (both are drawn from ‘The Last of Us Part II' game) –– no spoilers, but things don’t end well.Mazin doesn’t have that many directing credits to his name despite years in the feature business, and even with his involvement in the series, this is the first time he has called the shots on an episode. But he shows a steady hand and a clear eye for what makes the show work, and if the time jump is a jolt, the style is not.Cast and Performances(L to R) Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in 'The Last of Us' season 1.

- [10 Best Marvel Comic Stories for Lovers of Horror - ComicBook.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/10-best-marvel-comic-stories-for-lovers-of-horror-comicbook-com/) - Marvel Comics has been around long enough to ensure there’s something for everyone, from fans of daring tales of rescue to those who prefer more lighthearted adventures. Then there’s the darker side of Marvel Comics, the creepier corners of the universe where the monsters dwell. With the right creative team behind a tale, any Marvel adventure can quickly become a thing of nightmares, perfect for any horror buff. As with the rest of the Marvel Universe, these horror comics offer a shocking amount of variety, from gruesome tales to pure psychological thrillers and everything in between. This is especially true in recent years, as comic books have embraced this more ominous side of the industry. Videos by ComicBook.com There are plenty of reasons for horror aficionados to be drawn to the world of Marvel. From creative takes of classic characters such as Dracula to twisted versions of iconic Marvel heroes, Marvel has a proven willingness to experiment with storytelling. Some of Marvel’s best one-shots and limited series have been horror stories, with the most popular leaning into the zombie theme. If one thing is certain, it’s that Marvel has much to offer to horror fans – more than what could comfortably fit in a single article. Marvel Zombies (2005) Zombies are easily one of the most classic (and common) horror tropes, especially in comics. In fact, Marvel has played around with this idea a few times, including in 2005 and 2024. Fans just can’t get enough of this twisted tale. There’s something about watching Earth’s mightiest heroes fall to a hoard of zombies that is oddly compelling. Marvel Zombies was created by Robert Kirkman, Sean Phillips, and June Chung, and boy, this limited series packs a lot of punch. Unlike many other Marvel content, this isn’t a series worried about making sure the heroes find some magical way to save the day at the eleventh hour. It all begins when an unknown character, presumably a hero from a different dimension, crashes on Earth-2149. They’ve been infected with what most people would call the zombie virus, which quickly proves stronger than any hero thrown in its path. The story is unique among zombie tales, as the zombified heroes all (mostly) retain their intellect and powers, which is absolutely terrifying to think about. This series was so popular that it inspired an episode of Marvel’s What If…? and later an entire animated series dedicated to the zombie apocalypse. [RELATED: Marvel Zombies Gets a Release Date (And a Hilarious New Synopsis)] Curse of the Mutants (2010) The X-Men are no strangers to dark times; they’ve seen it all and somehow lived to tell the tale. However, 2010’s Curse of the Mutants is unlike any other X-Men story out there, and it deserves a spot on this list. Created by Victor Gischler, Curse of the Mutants pits mutants against vampires with a twist. It starts with Xarus, Dracula’s son, who dreamed up a bold new plan to add to his army – by forcibly recruiting mutants. He sets off a bomb in San Francisco’s Union Square, but it’s not a normal bomb. Instead of raining destruction, it coats all nearby in vampire blood – including present X-Men. Things quickly go downhill from here as more and more mutants fall to the vampiric line. Even some fan favorites struggle with the odds they’re up against, not dissimilar to the tides in Marvel Zombies. Curse of the Mutants is a saga that connects multiple series together. As such, the easiest way to read everything in order is to grab the anthology. However, there are reading guides for those who want to read it issue-by-issue. The Tomb of Dracula (1972-1979) No horror list is complete without mentioning Dracula. The Tomb of Dracula is an older Marvel series from 1972 to 1979, but its age shouldn’t stop any reader from trying it! As with any well-written tale that includes Dracula, this series is classic vampire horror in a nutshell. Over the years, the creative team switched several times, proving that the series was popular enough to keep it running despite what was happening behind the scenes. Thanks to the Comics Code relaxing its iron grip over comics in 1971, The Tomb of Dracula was allowed to get a little bit darker, including more classical vampire behavior, not to mention vampire hunters and everything in between. The Tomb of Dracula does not exist in a vacuum, as Dracula battles several known Marvel heroes. Unsurprisingly, Blade makes an appearance. Other appearances include Spider-Man, the X-Men, and even the Werewolf. Damnation (2018) It should come as no surprise to see that at least one of Doctor Strange’s stories would dive headfirst into the world of horror. The truth is, Doctor Strange is frequently playing with immense powers and terrifying beings, so it doesn’t take much to go over the edge into pure horror. Enter Damnation, created by Nick Spencer, Donny Cates, and Rod Reis. This story pictures Hell on Earth – literally. Mephisto takes center stage, and Las Vegas with it. The worst part is that Doctor Strange gave Mephisto the key to do so. In a desperate attempt to undo the damage caused by Hydra, Doctor Strange cast a spell that restored the city to its earlier state. While his spell sort of worked, it also created a Hotel Inforno and enabled Mephisto to claim the city as his own. This includes all the people within, even the heroes valiantly fighting for humanity before Strange cast his spell. The stakes had never been higher, and Doctor Strange had to go to new levels to find a solution to this new threat. Journey Into Mystery (1952-) Journey Into Mystery is easily the oldest mention on this list, and with it comes a long history. The first issue was published in 1952 under Atlas Comics, the company that would eventually become Marvel Comics. It’s a horror/fantasy anthology, and while it may have started decades ago, Marvel has revisited the idea with shocking frequency. As an anthology, Journey Into Mystery was free to explore all sorts of plots, themes, and subject matter, ranging from chilling tales of monsters to gruesome murderers running free. Sadly, Journey Into Mystery did struggle for a time, thanks to the Comics Code Authority, which cracked down particularly hard on horror comics. On the bright side, the series has many noteworthy accolades, including being the series to introduce Xemnu, the hypnotic alien monster. Absolute Carnage (2019) Absolute Carnage is a must-read for both horror and symbiote fans. It’s a crossover event created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegmen. In case the name didn’t give it away, the story follows Carnage, who’s been brought back from the dead thanks to a twisted cult. Naturally, Carnage goes and lives up to his name by causing merry mayhem and rampaging through the Marvel Universe. More specifically, Carnage begins to wreak havoc on anyone who has hosted a symbiote, as they have something he needs. It’s easy to understand how Carnage’s wraith makes for the perfect horror foundation. His violence is bordering on a thing of legend, as bodies are left in his wake. Marvel fans will appreciate the additional cameos, which include several fan favorites. Meanwhile, horror fans will enjoy a deep dive into gruesome and brutal violence. [RELATED: Eddie Brock and Carnage Are Working Together to Kill Some of Marvel’s Heavy Hitters] Hellstorm by Warren Ellis Daimon Hellstrom is the son of Stain, no, really. He’s probably not what most people expect, though his adventures are still full of horror. Hellstorm is Warren Ellis’ Marvel debut, and he knocked it out of the park. It begins with Daimon on the hunt for a serial killer, which starts a strange and twisted conversation about the roles of good and evil, heaven and hell. Set in the supernatural underbelly of Marvel, the setting will feel familiar and comfortable to fans of Hellblazer. As this story covers two series, the most approachable way to read it is by grabbing the omnibus Hellstorm by Warren Ellis. Alternatively, read Druid 1-4 and Hellstorm: Prince of Lies 12-21. Chamber of Chills (1972-1976) Chamber of Chills is another horror anthology series from Marvel, which started in 1972 and ran for four years. The history of Chamber of Chills is pretty interesting, as a lot of the comics were written during the 1950s but could not be printed at the time due to the Comics Code crackdown on horror comics. With that ban lifted in 1971, it was once again fair game, enabling Marvel to finally put these comics to print. Likewise, it’s important not to confuse this series with one of the same name, created by Harvey Publications. In total, there are 25 issues of Chamber of Chills, and as with any anthology, there’s something for everyone here. Subjects range from jungle monsters to horrifying aliens and pretty much anything else one might expect or hope for. The Darkhold (2021) The Darkhold is another major event that hit Marvel Comics, and it certainly hit hard. Created by Steve Orlando and Cian Tormey, The Darkhold actually has several stories in one. After introducing the premise in The Darkhold Alpha and The Darkhold Omega, it splits into six other stories, centering on different Marvel heroes before concluding. Included are Blade, Wasp, Iron Man, Black Bolt, and Spider-Man. Fans of cosmic horror will absolutely have to check out this tale, as The Darkhold has found a new host, forcing the universe’s greatest magical users to step up or risk watching everything they love crumble into nothingness. Unfortunately, there’s only one way to battle the Darkhold: to willingly descend into madness. The easiest way to read The Darkhold is by picking up the collected edition, which contains all seven issues. Readers can also read it by issue; just look for the Darkhold title at the beginning. Immortal Hulk (2018-2021) Immortal Hulk is one of the longest series on this list, but it is worth the read. Horror fans and Hulk fans alike will relish this one because it explores new corners of the Hulk universe to terrifying extremes. Created by Al Ewing, Joe Bennet, and Paul Mount, Immortal Hulk follows the events of Civil War II, during which Bruce Banner dies. While Immortal Hulk takes place within the larger Marvel Universe, it is unlike anything else out there, portraying Hulk’s resurrection and delving deep into Banner’s mind. In other words, it’s highly disturbing and not exactly kid-friendly. The Immortal Hulk ran for 51 issues and found a perfect balance between abstract horror and psychological terror. Reading it will provide insight into Banner’s psyche while playing around with a Jekyll and Hyde-style confrontation. In essence, the comic series tears Bruce Banner apart to build something new, and it has left the Marvel Universe forever changed.
- [Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Review - NoobFeed](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/into-the-dead-our-darkest-days-review-noobfeed/) - Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a thrilling 2.5D side-scrolling survival game by one of New Zealand's leading game development studios, PikPok. They have numerous mobile game titles under their names, such as the Rival Stars series and Clusterduck. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is the third entry in the Into the Dead series. It takes a completely different approach to its gameplay compared to prior games in the series. Unlike previous titles in the series, which were first-person shooters, this game combines strategy and shelter management set in a 2.5D horror environment.Published by PikPok and Boltray Games, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is set in 1980s Texas. In the game, the once-thriving Walton City has now fallen to a zombie outbreak, and the game casts you as the leader of a ragtag group of survivors fighting to stay alive. You'll lead these survivors from safehouse to safehouse; you'll scavenge for supplies, craft weapons, and engage in combat with the relentless hordes of the undead. The key to survival lies in careful planning, tight-knit cooperation, and, above all, constant movement. One wrong step, and it could be the end for your group or at least the end for one or two survivors. Most of the gameplay is structured around scavenging locations for resources, crafting tools, and fighting off zombies while managing the well-being of your survivors with every turn of the phase. Each scavenging mission is crucial, as it brings you closer to unlocking escape plans, which is the ultimate goal of the game: escape the zombie-infested city. The current build of the game offers two distinct escape plans where you can pursue a successful ending. At the beginning of the game, you can choose from five different survivor groups, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, although you only start off with two survivors. These survivors come with two positive traits and one negative trait. For example, Sebastian, one of the survivors, is a skilled gunsmith and marksman, but he also has the "Jaded" trait, which means his morale recovers at a slower rate compared to other survivors. While he can craft guns more efficiently and deal more damage with a ranged weapon, his emotional resilience is a bit weaker, requiring a little bit of extra attention to keep his spirits up. Dianne, Sebastian's partner, boasts the "Untiring" and "Optimist" traits. She loses rest more slowly than others and passively gains morale in every phase. However, Dianne suffers from the "Poor Craftsperson" trait, which makes her less effective at repairing barricades that are needed to keep the zombie hordes at bay. Each survivor's unique combination of traits forces you to adapt their strategies and manage resources carefully, although it gets a bit easier with the dismantling station, as every decision could impact the success or failure of the group, especially if you bite off more than you can chew. Survivors in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days must micromanage three fundamental needs: hunger, rest, and morale. Hunger is their need for food, rest is necessary to prevent fatigue, and morale directly influences their willingness to fight and cooperate. As the game progresses and more survivors are discovered, managing these three necessities is an increasingly strategic task, a bit like learning to juggle for those not used to shelter management games. The game forces the player to balance scavenging, sleeping, and morale-boosting, so it is hard to keep everyone alive, and sometimes, you'll have to make a sacrifice for the good of the group you're keeping alive. Each location in the game offers a chance of getting four types of resources: Base Resources, Weapons, Medical Supplies, and Food. These are vital for your survival, allowing you to heal injured survivors, craft new weapons, and maintain the health and well-being of your group. Injuries such as broken ribs need medical attention, while psychological traumas like nightmares and grief must also be addressed to prevent them from affecting the survivors' performance. Scavenging is a risky but highly necessary part of survival, as noise can attract unwanted attention from zombies, and if the survivors are caught off guard, they fall victim to the undead. Locations that have already been cleared of zombies will not respawn loot, so it's essential to keep moving and find new places to scavenge before the zombies break through your shelter's barriers. Each scavenging mission requires careful planning, as survivors must remain vigilant, avoid making noise, and ensure that they don't get caught in direct line of sight with the zombies. The game features two distinct phases: the Day Phase and the Night Phase. Each phase is divided into five segments, and you can perform limited actions during each Phase, such as dismantling items worth 5 segments or upgrading benches. Moving to the next phase or completing a scavenging mission requires hitting the confirm action bar, which allows the player to move on to the next phase or return to the safe house. Scavenging is only completed once the survivors return to the safehouse, meaning the clock is always ticking, and every action counts. As you progress through Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, you'll need to upgrade and craft essential tools to aid in your survival. The game features five key facilities or benches that are crucial to your success: the Workbench, the Weapons Bench, the Medical Area, the Cooking Area, and the Communal Area. The Workbench is your starting point, allowing you to craft basic tools and upgrade other facilities. The Weapons Bench unlocks the ability to craft stronger weapons, as the durability of most found weapons is limited. The Medical Area is essential for crafting healing items and medicine, which will be vital when treating injuries. The Cooking Area allows you to prepare meals, and the quality of the meals can greatly affect how much hunger is alleviated. Finally, the Communal Area is used to restore morale, allowing survivors to recover from negative mental states. Unlike the other facilities, it doesn't unlock new recipes, but it plays a vital role in maintaining the psychological health of the group. Upgrades are also available for the Workbench, such as Portable Beds, which are essential for when your survivors need rest in less-than-ideal shelters. Barricades are another crucial upgrade, as they allow you to reinforce your safehouses and hold out longer against the relentless zombie attacks that occur every night. You'll also need to get a Dismantling Station up and running. You'll come across items throughout your time scavenging, which will help you produce extra-base resources after taking them apart. The controls in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are pretty straightforward to learn, as they make the management and strategy the biggest learning curve. Of course, there is a learning curve to the game as you control the survivor who heads out to scavenge, and not all runs end in a happy ending, but that's honestly what makes this game fun. While the controls are simple and the mechanics are easy to grasp, the combat system won't make this a one-and-done deal. With different starting survivors, you can try out new strategies that rely on both the positive and negative traits of your survivors. With the game being in early access, there is a lot they can add and expand upon to bring in new strategy curveballs. The sound design in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is another standout feature. It creates an immersive atmosphere that perfectly fits the game's dystopian horror vibe. The soundtrack doesn't feel as if it gets repetitive, even after hours of gameplay. The voice acting, though minimal, is incredibly well-executed, adding depth and emotion to the characters' struggles. The game's sound design enhances the tense and harrowing atmosphere, making every encounter with the zombies feel intense and overall giving an "on the edge of your seat" feeling, especially in locations with a lot of Zombies around. Visually, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a feast for the eyes. The game's 2.5D graphics are beautifully crafted, with an 80s horror aesthetic that is noticeable in every aspect of the game, from the character designs to the environments. The punk and new wave influences are evident, and PikPok adds its own unique twist to the art. The detailed backgrounds and atmospheric lighting combine to create a hauntingly beautiful world that keeps you on edge throughout your journey. Overall, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days offers a fun and engaging twist on the survival genre. With its strategic gameplay, immersive sound design, and stunning visuals, it delivers a thrilling and intense experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether you're scavenging for supplies, upgrading your shelter, or fighting off waves of zombies, every decision you make is crucial to your survival. If you're looking for a survival game that combines strategy, resource management, and intense action, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a must-play.

- [Fear the Force? STAR WARS Horror Project In The Works According To ANDOR Showrunner](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/fear-the-force-star-wars-horror-project-in-the-works-according-to-andor-showrunner/) - Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy recently articulated his vision for a more diversified Star Wars universe, advocating for the exploration of formats such as a three-camera sitcom or a project within the horror genre. Speaking to SFX Magazine back in March, Gilroy specifically said, "I always fantasised that the show would break new ground, that someone would be able to make a three-camera sitcom in Star Wars or a horror movie." "I think the first thing I said to Kathy [Kennedy, Lucasfilm president] when she said they wanted to open a line, was, 'Could you do a courtroom drama?' And why not? We've worked really hard on Andor to make our lane, and it's up to other people now to find another way to do it." Business Insider's recent attendance at the premiere of the latest season of Andor provided an opportunity to question Tony Gilroy about his previously expressed interest in genre diversification. Contrary to expectations, Gilroy revealed that he had recently been informed of an existing Star Wars horror project in development. "They're doing that. I think they're doing that. I think that's in the works, yeah." said Gilroy. When asked about the direction he'd like to see the horror project go, Gilroy admitted, "I'm agnostic about what should be done. I mean, I was riffing when I said, "Oh, do a three-camera comedy show.' I was riffing and sometimes riffing doesn't work with the Star Wars community. But the right creator, and the right comment, and the right vibe- you can do anything." Lucasfilm's ongoing efforts to diversify the Star Wars franchise have been underscored by recent commentary from Andor creator Tony Gilroy, igniting considerable speculation among its dedicated audience. The prospect of a venture into the horror genre within this beloved universe has generated fervent discussion regarding previously unexplored narrative avenues. This potential shift raises compelling questions about the integration of traditional Star Wars lore with horror tropes. Scenarios under consideration include the Jedi facing undead hordes, their lightsabers clashing in a struggle for survival, or a dark side figure, a fallen Sith Lord, being compelled to confront a more primal, galaxy-threatening evil. The narrative scope of a horror-oriented Star Wars project appears considerable, promising a unique and potentially unsettling interpretation of familiar franchise elements. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether this intriguing possibility will materialize into a concrete project, and the upcoming Star Wars Day on May 4th looms large on the horizon.

- [This Bill Skarsgård Netflix Horror Series Isn't Even Available to Stream Anymore](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/this-bill-skarsgard-netflix-horror-series-isnt-even-available-to-stream-anymore/) - Anyone familiar with Bill Skarsgård knows he’s earned his crown as a king of modern horror. When it comes to casting a chilling role, regardless of the style, he’s the go-to choice for almost everyone. But even though it might seem like he suddenly appeared after playing Pennywise in the newer It adaptations, he had already proven his talent in the genre long before that – back when streaming services weren’t yet the massive force they are today. Starring in Netflix’s Hemlock Grove was a clear stepping stone in his rise to fame, though not many people know that, since the series has now become something of a mystery you can barely access. Videos by ComicBook.com Hemlock Grove was a horror/thriller series that aired from 2013 to 2015, set in a fictional Pennsylvania town of the same name. It begins with the discovery of a young woman’s brutally murdered body near an old steel mill. Suspicion quickly falls on Peter Rumancek (Landon Liboiron), a 17-year-old gypsy who had recently arrived in town – especially after rumors spread that he was a werewolf. In an effort to clear his name, he teams up with Roman Godfrey (Skarsgård), heir to a powerful local family. Together, they set out to investigate the murders. The series had three seasons, and the major surprise is that it was one of Netflix’s very first original productions. Gaumont Television At the time of its premiere, Hemlock Grove got a mixed reception from both critics and viewers. It never really took off (which helps explain why it’s mostly forgotten today), and even though Netflix usually keeps viewership numbers under wraps, content chief Ted Sarandos admitted in a 2016 interview with The Daily Telegraph that Hemlock Grove didn’t deliver the impact they had hoped for. Naturally, this led to the show’s cancellation. Reports at the time described the decision as mutual between Netflix and the creators, based on several factors – including declining audience interest and high production costs. So far, nothing too out of the ordinary, since series cancellations are a regular occurrence – even when fans push to keep them alive, as seen with shows like Sense8 or Anne with an E. What did raise questions, however, was the complete removal of the series from Netflix’s catalog years later, something that rarely happens with content originally financed by the platform. [RELATED: 5 Iconic Horror Monsters Bill Skarsgård Should Play After Nosferatu and IT] But there’s a reason for that: behind-the-scenes licensing agreements. The streaming rights were held by the production company Gaumont International Television, and when its deal with Netflix expired, the platform no longer had the rights to stream the show. Despite carrying the Netflix Original label, Hemlock Grove was not legally owned by Netflix, which meant it could be removed once the licensing ended. Since then, the show hasn’t appeared on any major streaming service, making it practically inaccessible to the general public. The episodes aren’t even available for purchase or rental on digital platforms, frustrating fans and viewers interested in exploring Skarsgård’s early work. Gaumont Television The absence of Hemlock Grove also serves as a warning about the illusion that all Netflix Originals will always be available. Streaming, though convenient, is not a reliable archive. Viewers don’t actually own the content; they simply have access to it for as long as the platform allows. When the show’s removal was announced in 2022, many viewers pointed this out. Still, despite not being as widely remembered as other series from that era, Hemlock Grove was a trailblazer that helped define what we now consider the “Netflix model” of consuming television. While it’s still possible to find a few episodes scattered online, watching the full series has become quite a task. It’s unfortunate – because if Skarsgård went on to shine in major productions from It to Nosferatu, Hemlock Grove certainly played a key role in getting him there. Currently the only way to watch Hemlock Grove is using Hoopla, the library-adjacent platform, but even then, only Season 1 is available to users.
- [Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies Camo Challenge - Yardbarker](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-zombies-camo-challenge-yardbarker/) - In Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the Zombies Camo Challenge is split into three tiers: Military, Special, and Mastery camos. Each weapon has nine Military camos you can unlock by completing tasks like “10 Rapid Kills” or “30 Special Zombie Eliminations,” as detailed by Dot Esports. After that, there are two Special camos per weapon, each with its own unique objectives. The real gems, though, are the Mastery camo, like Mystic Gold and Nebula, which you earn by finishing all the prior challenges for a weapon, according to the Call of Duty blog. To make things easier, a Camo Hub is set to roll out soon after launch, letting you track your progress in one spot Windows Central has more on that. For the latest Black Ops 6 updates, check out our news page. Tips for Completing the Zombies Camo Challenge Jumping into the Zombies Camo Challenge can feel overwhelming, but a few pointers can help you grind smarter. Start by picking one weapon and sticking with it, bouncing between guns just slows you down. For Military camos, tasks like “10 Rapid Kills” are a breeze in the early rounds when zombies aren’t sprinting yet. Special camos often involve targeting specific zombie types, so watch for those tougher enemies and pack the right gear. Mastery camos? They’re a marathon, not a sprint so pace yourself, and don’t burn out. Why Players Are Talking About It This challenge is blowing up because it’s the perfect mix of brutal and brag-worthy. There’s nothing like flexing a rare camo you’ve earned through hours of zombie-slaying. That said, it’s not all smooth sailing, some players have run into glitches, like the Jade camo not tracking properly for the Kilo 141. Over on Reddit, folks suggest swapping attachments to fix it, while X is full of players posting their Mystic Gold unlocks, saying the grind pays off. Season 2 promises fixes like improved tracking and a co-op pause feature, per Destructoid, so there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Community Reactions and Strategies The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 community is all over this challenge, and social media’s lighting up with chatter. On Reddit, one player raved, “Nebula camo is nuts, took me three days straight, but it’s a total flex.” Others are teaming up for co-op runs. Smart players are sharing tricks, like camping in tight map corners for rapid kills or using specific perks to take down special zombies faster. Some swear by certain maps for racking up kills efficiently. Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them Let’s be real: the Zombies Camo Challenge isn’t a walk in the park. Beyond bugs like the Jade camo glitch, players often struggle with the sheer volume of kills needed, especially for Mastery camos. Special zombie eliminations can be a pain too, since those enemies don’t spawn every round. To beat these hurdles, try playing on higher rounds where special zombies pop up more often, and use weapons with high ammo capacity to keep the kills flowing. If tracking issues persist, double-check your progress after each match and report bugs via the official Call of Duty blog support channels. Patience and persistence are your best friends here. What’s Next for Zombies in Black Ops 6? The Zombies Camo Challenge is just the beginning for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies fans. Season 2 is shaping up to be a game-changer, with the Camo Hub for progress tracking and quality-of-life tweaks like co-op pausing. New maps and modes might drop too, bringing fresh challenges to keep the grind alive. Conclusion: Is the Zombies Camo Challenge Worth Your Time? The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies Camo Challenge has taken the gaming world by storm, and for good reason. It’s a tough, rewarding journey that lets you earn standout camos, sharpen your skills, and connect with a fired-up community. Sure, there are bumps, like glitches and grind heavy tasks, but with updates like the Camo Hub and Season fixes on the horizon, it’s only getting better. Whether you’re chasing Mystic Gold for the bragging rights or just want to dive into the hype, this challenge is a must-try for any Call of Duty fan.

- [What we've been playing - zombies in the snow, cursed mobile games, and family fun](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/what-weve-been-playing-zombies-in-the-snow-cursed-mobile-games-and-family-fun/) - 12th April Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing. This week, Bertie takes the plunge in The Last of Us Part 2 and enjoys a mobile game that isn't Slice & Dice, and Tom Orry is outsmarted by his son. What have you been playing? Catch up with the older editions of this column in our What We've Been Playing archive. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, PC Watch on YouTube Look, don't judge me but I'd never played The Last of Us Part 2. But I'm one of these people who loved the TV series and so, in preparation for the second series, and in celebration of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered arriving on PC, I decided to give it a go. And my word! The style of this game is breathtaking. It's actually quite a lot like a TV show; the way it takes its time to set a scene, the way it allows you space to soak an atmosphere up. But there's something about playing the game that you can't get from watching it. It's a point that Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin made during an interview with me recently that really stuck in my head. They were talking about how some people overlook the importance that game mechanics have on an experience, saying things like "oh they should just be a TV show or a visual novel", or words to that effect. But what those people miss are how much more is going on when you play a game. In The Last of Us Part 2 early on, it's those nervy walks through the snow as Ellie or Abby, when you know that the infected are near, and the frantic fights you have when they spring from the snow to get to you. Some people might label this as just necessary gameplay, but it's also threat, and tension, and kind of invisible hand that pulls you closer into the world and the bleak reality of it. By playing the game you can say you've been there, to their world - can you say the same after watching the show? -Bertie Split Fiction, PS5 Pro Our Split Fiction review.Watch on YouTube It's the Easter school holiday in the UK so I told my son he can stay up late a few days each week and play through Split Fiction with me. It is, as everyone has already said many times, very entertaining. I am finding some of the more generic platforming bits a little dull, but these are regularly broken up by some smartly designed co-op areas or thrilling set-pieces. I absolutely loved the wingsuits section, and the zone where you have to lob a bomb between the two of you is superb. I thought it best I pointed out one moment that my son found hilarious, though (other than the dancing monkey). While traveling to a boss encounter in an ice world we came to an area that only small creatures could access. My son, who could turn into a fairy, flew straight in, but I was a large gorilla at the time so thought there must be another way through. 10 minutes later and with no obvious way to join my son, I scratched my head. Had the game glitched? Nothing to this point had been overly challenging or obtuse, but perhaps I'd missed something? No, I had just forgotten that my character's other form, a dragon/lizard thing, is small, and could easily fit through the narrow entrance. A master at work. I'm not sure I'll live this down. -Tom O Thronglets, Android Thronglets is the game at the heart of new Black Mirror episode Plaything.Watch on YouTube Throng-what? This is the new Black Mirror game. It's Season 7's Bandersnatch moment, except it's not interactive TV in the way Bandersnatch is/was but an accompanying mobile game. And it's actually quite good. Thronglets is made by Oxenfree studio Night School, and it's integral to one of the episodes of the new Black Mirror series - an episode called Plaything, starring Peter Capaldi. The set-up is that Capaldi's character was asked, as a young video game journalist, to report on a game made by celebrated developer Colin Ritman, but the game ended up derailing his life. Or it gave purpose to his life - it depends on how you look at it. What's neat is that the Thronglets mobile game you play is the game being played in the Black Mirror episode, and it compliments it by taking you a layer deeper, to experience the compulsion of Thronglets for yourself. For reasons that will become clear once you've watched the show, the experience isn't exactly as it is in Black Mirror, but it's close enough to evoke a similar feeling, and it's laced with Black Mirror atmosphere and meta commentary. I wrote a longer piece about it that's being published this afternoon, but for now, I urge you to watch the episode and give it a try. -Bertie
- [32 years later, forgotten shooter from Duke Nukem dev is getting a full remaster](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/32-years-later-forgotten-shooter-from-duke-nukem-dev-is-getting-a-full-remaster/) - Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us – you can keep ‘em. For me, videogame aesthetics peaked in the ‘90s; instead of photorealism and verisimilitude, games had a visual style that was completely their own. I’m thinking of Wolfenstein 3D, the original Half-Life, and Rise of the Triad; games that looked like games. Originally released in 1993 by Duke Nukem and RoTT maker Apogee, Biomenace leapt off the screen. A monster-blasting adventure starring CIA agent Snake Logan (now, that’s a name), with its bright colors, slick animations, and goopy gore effects, it was a shooter with serious flair. And now, after 32 years of relative obscurity, Biomenance is coming back via a total remaster. The mustachioed, perm-rocking Logan is on a mission to Metro City, now overrun by hundreds of slimy abominations set loose by the evil Dr. Mangle. A pseudo zombie game complete with puzzles, boss fights, and secret levels, the original Biomenace is largely the work of solo developer James Norwood, using the Keen Dream engine licensed from Doom creator id Software. Biomenace Remastered includes enhanced visuals, a modernized HUD and UI, controller support, mid-level saves, rebalanced difficulty settings, Steam achievements, and an entirely new episode. It comes from Rigel Gameworks, overseen by developer ‘Lethal Guitar.’ “In early 2024, I started a Biomenace decompilation project, with the intention of creating a fan-made, enhanced modern engine for the game called SnakeEngine,” the developer says. “When I got to a point where the game was playable, I shared it with my friend Bart. After a short while, we decided to try and pitch it to Apogee as an official remaster. “I spent some time adding various enhancements…and then Bart arranged a meeting with Apogee. They liked what we showed them, but decided against taking it on. Instead, they referred us to James Norwood himself, who actually holds all the rights to the game and IP. If we were to get his approval, we could still make the game, but we’d have to fund and publish it ourselves. “So with all of that in mind, we decided to give it a try. We got in touch with James Norwood, and after some time, we came to an agreement – we would be making Biomenace Remastered as a commercial game.” There’s no specific release date yet, but Biomenace Remastered is due to be launched before the end of 2025. You can already wishlist it right here. Alternatively, try some of the other best old games, or maybe the best action-adventure games on PC.

- ['The Last of Us' and the Power of Video Games - The Atlantic](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/the-last-of-us-and-the-power-of-video-games-the-atlantic/) - This article contains spoilers through Season 1 of The Last of Us.In the final episode of Season 1 of The Last of Us, the most emotionally wrenching zombie-apocalypse TV show ever made, a loner named Joel stalks through a hospital, his face as emotionless as the Terminator’s, killing everyone in his way. He is trying to save a young woman named Ellie, who holds the secret to curing the zombie plague, but to make that antidote, she has to die, and Joel would rather let his species go extinct than lose her. I recently asked the actor who plays Joel, Pedro Pascal, how he found a way to justify his character’s rampage. He responded: “I understand why he did it, but I can’t justify it.”He should have asked me. As I told myself every time I saved Ellie, if you truly love someone, killing for them is easy.The Last of Us is based on a video game of the same name, and the second season of the series premieres this week. Before The Last of Us, I had never been a serious gamer, for the same reason I don’t do cocaine: I’m an ADHD-addled depressive with escape fantasies, and if I tried it, I might never come back. So, outside of Mario Kart races with my kids, I abstained. But on one of the uncountable empty days of the early coronavirus pandemic, I put down $300 to buy a Playstation 4, which came prepackaged with The Last of Us. The game booted up and showed me an open window, its curtain blowing in a light breeze. I was told to “Press Any Button.” I did.A young girl named Sarah sits in an empty room. Her father, Joel, enters. She gives him a watch as a birthday present. He likes it. She falls asleep, and he gently tucks her into bed. What was this—an interactive simulation of a Hallmark movie?Sarah wakes up later that night, alone. She gets out of bed and then … stands there, not moving. I realized this was on me. I pressed the joystick in my hand. She moved. She, or I, or we, went downstairs to look for her, or our, father.Then the first sirens blared outside. News reports flashed on the TV. Joel ran in, panicked. A neighbor crashed through the sliding door, crazed, howling like an animal. Joel killed him. This was more like it. Next we were in a truck, trying to get someplace safe, and the truck crashed, and now I was Joel, fleeing with Sarah in my arms as a horde of bloodthirsty people tried to bite us and a soldier shot Sarah and she died in Joel’s arms or my arms and the screen went black and I realized that this was not Mario Kart.Over the next days and weeks I would labor until my obligations to work and family were done and I could turn on the console and turn off the lights and be Joel again. By now he was a smuggler, traveling with a girl called Ellie across a bleak landscape filled with monsters that were once people and monsters who were still people, doing everything he could to keep her alive.After I had finally saved Ellie, and doomed humanity while doing it, I found myself back in my own world, watching the credits roll and feeling exhilaration and regret, each as vivid to me as I had ever experienced in my real life.I couldn’t remember when I had been so affected by a work of art. Or when I had ever thought that a video game could be a work of art.Neil Druckmann was born in Israel in 1978, and, like most ’80s kids, he became fascinated with comic books and video games, which helped him learn his idiomatic but still accented English. When his family relocated to Miami, he attended college for a criminal-science degree but found himself drawn to the gaming industry, eventually getting a master’s degree in entertainment technology at Carnegie Mellon. In 2004, he joined the Naughty Dog game studio as an intern, and quickly rose in the company, designing and programming games, including its Uncharted series of Indiana Jones–like adventures. And during all that time, he was piecing together a story—or in the clinical language of modern media, an “IP,” or intellectual property—of his own.His inspirations were an obscure but beloved Japanese game called Ico, from the early 2000s, in which the hero leads an imprisoned princess by the hand out of a huge castle; Frank Miller’s comic book Sin City, featuring a violence-scarred cop who protects a little girl; and the universe of zombie stories, most importantly George Romero’s Living Dead movies. The game would be graphically sophisticated and expertly designed by Naughty Dog’s team of artists and engineers. But the real innovation was its core subject matter, something that may have been entirely new to the industry:“The game,” he says, “is about the unconditional love a parent has for a child.”Druckmann is, along with Craig Mazin, the co-creator, executive producer, and writer of the HBO adaptation. (I hosted a podcast with Mazin in 2019 about his HBO miniseries Chernobyl.) I spoke with them both during post production for Season 2 of The Last of Us. The show is Druckmann’s first foray into traditional filmmaking, and I asked him about the difference between creating a story as a game to play and as a TV show to simply watch. He told me that from the very earliest conceptions of the game, he had been sketching out the “mechanics” of Joel and Ellie’s relationship.Was that another term for what a screenwriter might call story beats or plot points?“No,” he said, speaking patiently, as he would to someone who hadn’t learned English from video games. “I mean interactive mechanics: How do we put certain interactive elements on the stick?” (Meaning, literally, in the hands of the player, holding his joystick controller.) “How do we use that dimension? People that actually have kids know immediately: You would do anything for this other person. How do we make the player feel that?”He pointed to a moment midway through the game when Joel and Ellie are exploring an abandoned hotel, and Joel falls down an elevator shaft, and then has to fight his way from the basement back to Ellie. It’s the first time in the game that the two are separated. “You feel Ellie not being around you,” Druckmann said. “And you miss her.”I remember that moment vividly, the vertiginous feeling of not just falling but falling away from Ellie, whom by then I had saved from death many times, and I felt panic and anxiety because she was alone in a world filled with predators … and I had to get back to her.I have never been angrier, or more impressed, at being so profoundly and successfully manipulated.Many video-game adaptations in TV and film have been profitable; few have been critically acclaimed; a couple, like 1993’s Super Mario Bros., with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as the titular plumbers, have been epoch-defining disasters. The pitfalls are many, the most obvious being that a game’s appeal is that it’s something you play. Can anything a writer or director comes up with be more fun than slaying the dragon (or zombies, or aliens) yourself? But at the center of the problem is the protagonist, a human-shaped frame intentionally left empty so that you, the player, can fill it.“For example, when they adapted Halo, they had a complication,” Mazin told me, talking about the popular first-person-shooter game. “They had a hero whose face you never saw and whose voice you never heard. Then you've got to invent somebody, and you've got to think, What is his face and what does he sound like and what does he want and what does he say?” Halo ran for two seasons on Paramount Plus before being canceled.The Last of Us posed the reverse challenge: one of abundance. Joel and Ellie aren’t faceless and voiceless human suits for the player to wear, but fully fleshed out, living people played via motion capture by the actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson. As players first inhabit Joel, then Ellie, then Joel again, they follow a linear trajectory, designed to create meaning not only on the screen, but also in them. The interaction goes both ways, as the players steer the game and the game steers them.The result is an experience of fear, anxiety, relief, rage, and finally, Druckmann’s carefully engineered final state: unconditional if murderous love.But the viewers of a TV show can’t fall down a shaft and be separated from a character just so they will miss her, let alone hold the character’s choices in their own hands. All a TV show can do is show other people making those choices, and hope the audience follows along. It’s the difference between describing what gravity feels like and throwing somebody off a cliff.For the show, Mazin and Druckmann faithfully re-created many famous scenes and much of the dialogue from the game—sometimes down to costumes, set design, and camera angles. They didn’t do this, they assured me, to please fans of the game who might be upset at the omission, for example, of the moment when Joel and Ellie find a herd of wild giraffes descended from zoo animals in Salt Lake City. They re-created that scene because, as the saying goes, if something ain’t broke, rent an actual giraffe. “We don't sit there and go, ‘Ah, shit, this is something that is a waste of time, but the fans would love it,’” Mazin said. “If there’s fan service, the fan is me.”They also expanded the story laterally. Because they are no longer avatars for the viewer, the principal characters can be less admirable. As played by Bella Ramsey, Ellie seems older than the waifish game character, with a reckless temper and a willingness to deceive. Pascal’s Joel is more emotionally reserved and wary than Troy Baker’s, and at the same time, more callous and seething with anger. In the show, someone says that Joel is the only thing in the desolate waste that scares another smuggler … and you believe it.In the game, Druckmann told me, he insisted that the player would see only what the protagonist sees, so they’d have the same reaction to whatever lurked around the next corner. The TV show, though, delves into other storylines, most famously in the episode “Long, Long Time.” Early on in the game, Joel and Ellie pick up supplies and a vehicle from Bill, a loner in a fortified small town. Bill mentions that his “partner,” Frank, has left. From that scrap of backstory, the show spins out a love story between the deeply closeted survivalist Bill (Nick Offerman, who won an Emmy for the role), and Frank (Murray Bartlett).To pause the zombie fighting and dwell on a long-term romance was a remarkable gamble. If the elevator-shaft sequence in the game is impossible to replicate on TV, this episode’s slow conjuring of grace in the midst of ruin would be impossible in a game.Another difference is a significant reduction of the body count. I asked Druckmann and Mazin about all the violence in the game, and they almost laughed, as if I was asking a soccer coach why his players don’t just throw the ball. That’s how games are played. “The violence is problem-solving,” Mazin said. “That’s the play. That’s the fun part.”But in real life, anyone who killed as many people as Joel and eventually Ellie do in the game would be reduced to a traumatized, gibbering husk. “In the show, we actually talked about how to make every single act of violence matter,” Mazin went on. “Every single one changes not only the person doing it, but the relationship between Joel and Ellie.”Mazin and Druckmann aren’t always successful. One episode’s climactic set piece re-creates a sequence in the game in which Joel, perched with a sniper rifle above a mass melee, picks off assailants as they threaten Ellie. It’s one of the very few moments when the show’s video-game roots show: No sane person would fire that many rounds so close to somebody he cared for unless he knew that if he hit her, time would reset and he could try again.But there are many instances in which, as Mazin says, the violence ratchets the relationships into a new state. For example: a brutal fight in which someone is about to kill Joel before Ellie shoots him with a gun she’s secreted away. The man howls in agony, sobbing and begging for his life until Joel stabs him to death. From that moment, Ellie is no longer “cargo,” as Joel has called her; she has saved his life, and helped him take someone else’s, and the trauma yokes them together.HBO is being tight-lipped about Season 2, but it is based on The Last of Us Part II, the sequel game, which was released in 2020. If it follows that story as closely as the first season followed the original game, we know some of what to expect. The first game was about unconditional love; the second was about something Druckmann says he learned about while growing up in the West Bank: tribal rage, the desire for vengeance, and how violence begets more violence.The central, violent conflict is between Ellie and another young woman named Abby, something once unheard of in the male-dominated space of video gaming, and still rare in prestige TV.Druckmann brought on Halley Gross, a writer for HBO’s Westworld, to help write the second game, and hired her again for the show. He told me that in addition to needing help organizing a script with far more characters and branching storylines, “I also knew that I wanted to tell the story of Ellie and Abby and put these two women through the ringer – physically and emotionally. I believed that I would approach the material with a higher level of confidence if I could do it with a female co-writer.”As Season 2 jumps forward five years, we realize that Ellie is not just a character who’s had some exciting adventures and is about to have some more. After her bloody salvation, she is “locked in trauma,” Gross told me. “She cannot outrun this. She cannot outthink this.”The Last of Us Part 2 was as revolutionary as the first game, but in new ways. If the first game was designed to make you feel love, the second asks the player to experience anger, hatred, and eventually even guilt, as their transgressions make Joel’s rampage at the end of Season 1 seem like an easy call.I’ll be watching what happens next with excitement and dread. (Gamers know why). But—like others who spent many hours on the stick—I know I’ll feel some nostalgia for the time when I lived it all myself.About the AuthorPeter SagalPeter Sagal is the host of NPR’s Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me!

- [Star Wars Horror? Lucasfilm Developing Dark New Project Says Gilroy | Cosmic Book News](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/star-wars-horror-lucasfilm-developing-dark-new-project-says-gilroy-cosmic-book-news/) - In surprising news, it’s learned that Disney and Lucasfilm are actually developing a Star Wars horror project, but it’s unclear if it’s a movie or a potential TV series for Disney+. What are the details? The details come about with Tony Gilroy promoting the upcoming release of Andor Season 2, arguably one of the better Star Wars series on Disney+. Gilroy also saved Rogue One with rewrites and reshoots. While talking with Business Insider, the outlet brought up comments Gilroy made in March about how he joked there should be “a three-camera sitcom in Star Wars or a horror movie.” Well, it turns out the horror idea apparently wasn’t a joke as it’s in development. “They’re doing that. I think they’re doing that. I think that’s in the works, yeah,” Gilroy confirmed on the Red Carpet for the premiere of Andor Season 2 about the Star Wars horror project when asked about his previous comments. It’s noted that Gilroy didn’t say if it’s a movie or TV series. Gilroy continued with mention his comment about a Star Wars sitcom was meant to be a joke, as apparently, it ruffled a few Star Wars fans’ feathers. “I’m agnostic about what should be done. I was riffing on the thing where I said, ‘Oh, do a three-camera comedy,’ so I was riffing. Sometimes riffing doesn’t work with the Star Wars community,” he said. Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber Star Wars zombies? Following Andor, Lucasfilm only has Ahsoka Season 2 in the works, so just maybe, a Star Wars horror series is on the way. It would actually be pretty cool if it was about the Sith. The novels have delved into horror, including Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber, which is about a deadly virus that reanimates the dead. Yeah, Star Wars zombies. Red Harvest by Schreiber is set at a Sith academy and is about how the zombie virus originated. There is also the young adult Galaxy of Fear series by John Whitman, which is basically Goosebumps meets Star Wars. Andor Season 2 release info Andor Season 2 premieres Tuesday, April 22, with the first three episodes, followed by three episodes weekly for a total of twelve episodes. The series, a prequel to Rogue One, stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor.
- [WHAT IF...? Concept Art Highlights Mahershala Ali's MCU Debut As Blade/Moon Knight ...](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/what-if-concept-art-highlights-mahershala-alis-mcu-debut-as-blade-moon-knight/) - Marvel Zombies was first announced at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2022 as part of a splashy "Marvel Animation" slate reveal. Things went quiet after that, though it's since been confirmed that the four-episode series will premiere on Disney+ on October 3, later this year. While the concept originated in the comics, it wasn't until What If...? season 1 that Marvel Studios finally put the spotlight on undead superheroes. In an episode titled "What If... Zombies?!" we watched as several fan-favourite heroes, including Spider-Man, fought off a whole host of undead fan-favourites. Marvel Zombies will serve as a sequel to that, and the What If...? series finale offered a glimpse at one of the Variants expected to take centre stage in the story: Mahershala Ali's Blade/Moon Knight. While the Oscar winner had a brief voice cameo in 2021's Eternals, the Daywalker's solo movie remains stuck in limbo after being announced at Comic-Con nearly six years ago. When Ali recorded lies as this Moon Knight Variant, we'd imagine the intention was for us to have already met him as Blade by the time Marvel Zombies aired. If the Blade movie fails to materialise, then Ali's MCU work could boil down to Eternals' confusing, unresolved post-credits scene and what we're assuming will be a vampire and zombie-hunting Moon Knight in Marvel Zombies. There were rumblings back in February that John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski could be in line to helm the Blade reboot. The latest draft was written by Michael Green and Eric Pearson, and according to a recent report, the filmmaker has now emerged as a frontrunner to finally bring Blade back to theaters. We'll see. "It ties right in. It is the same universe," Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum previously said of Marvel Zombies. "If you've never seen that episode of What If…? you do come at the universe from a different angle. So you could just watch the four episodes of Marvel Zombies coming in completely blind because it does tell its own story." "But if you do know that episode of What If…? and what happens in it, it does connect entirely to that episode," he added. If Blade does happen, then we anticipate being followed by a Midnight Sons movie featuring the Daywalker alongside characters like Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, and Clea. Take a closer look at What If...? and Marvel Zombies' take on this Blade/Moon Knight mashup in the Instagram post below.
- [Minecraft Movie Director Calls Controversial & Messy Cinema Trend 'Hilarious'](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/minecraft-movie-director-calls-controversial-messy-cinema-trend-hilarious/) - The director of A Minecraft Movie, Jared Hess, has responded to the viral ‘chicken jockey’ trend — which sees cinema-goers chaotically reacting to a scene in the movie in increasingly OTT ways — and has described it as “hilarious”. “It’s weird when you’re having too much fun and the cops get called,” Hess said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It’s funny because I think it’s just literally cheering and throwing popcorn, which is so funny to me that cops are getting called for popcorn. Yeah, it’s hilarious. “I’ve seen so many funny videos. It’s great, especially when people are climbing on their friends’ shoulders and standing up and cheering for those moments. It’s like this crazy anticipation.” The scene that sparked this trend involves a baby zombie being dropped onto the back of a chicken, to which Jack Black (as ‘Steve’) exclaims “chicken jockey!” to a stunned Jason Momoa. The chicken-riding zombie-bub is a rare enemy one can encounter in the original generation-defining game the film is based on. According to KnowYourMeme, the trend stemmed from the less-than-impressed initial fan response to the original trailer and, in true internet fashion, is dripping with the type of post-irony humour that Millennials and Gen Z have become accustomed to. And, like the majority of things online, became even more elaborate and wild following the trend taking off on TikTok that has seen people throwing popcorn, drinks, confetti, and even releasing a live chicken into the movie theatre after the scene is shown. Will every movie be meta in the future??? (Source: X) While the ‘chicken jockey’ trend has seen a wide array of criticism and condemnation both online and by the unlucky cinema employees left to clean up the mess, (who would’ve thought??) Hess has reiterated that he is just happy “people are making memories” through the film. “But, man, I’m just glad people are making memories with their friends and families,” Hess said. “I’m just so happy that people are finding joy in going back to cinemas and seeing things as a community, as a group of people. “It’s like we’ve become so isolated on our devices, and it’s just fun to experience things as a group of human beings. I think people are starved for that experience. So it’s fun that they’ve found it in this goofy movie that we’ve made.” Hess with his family at the premiere of ‘A Minecraft Movie’. (Source: Getty Images) A Minecraft Movie grossed over $313 million over its opening weekend, making it the highest cinematic debut for a video game film, despite panned critical reviews. Hess is also known for his work on Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, which also starred Black in the main role.
- [Sailor Moon Director Was Inspired By One Of The Greatest Horror Movies of All Time](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/sailor-moon-director-was-inspired-by-one-of-the-greatest-horror-movies-of-all-time/) - When anime fans think of the Sailor Scouts, they typically don’t think about the scarier aspects of the series. Sailor Moon presented Usagi Tsukino and her cohorts with plenty of extraterrestrial beasts that threatened the world at large and put them in quite a few pickles throughout the decades of the shojo series. In a wild new reveal, one of the directors who helped bring the anime to life has revealed that their anime work was influenced by one of the most terrifying, and beautiful, horror movies of all time. While Sailor Moon has never been considered a horror series, this big reveal might have you looking at the series, and several other anime franchises, in a brand new light. Videos by ComicBook.com Kunihiko Ikuhara has been a major player in the anime world for decades, first joining Toei Animation all the way back in 1986. Ever since, Ikuhara has been rising the anime ranks and is responsible for bringing to life series such as Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Soul Eater, Gunbuster, and many more. For the anime Yurikuma Arashi, aka Love Bullet, Kunihiko recently revealed that this series was inspired by the 1977 horror film Suspiria. For those who haven’t seen this creepy live-action movie, Suspiria follows the story of a dance school wherein the dancers are losing their lives to witchcraft, depicted in such a colorful way that the film is often referred to as one of the best horror movies ever made. Play video [embedded content] [embedded content] What is a Love Bullet? Toei Animation If you want to check out Yurikuma Arashi to see what horror elements were added to this comedic romance anime, we have good news for you. It is available to stream on Apple TV and the streaming service has a breakdown for the idiosyncratic series, “At some point, somewhere in outer space, the small planet Kumalia exploded. As the particles of what used to be Kumalia showered upon Earth as a meteor shower, for some reason all the bears on earth stood up to attack humanity! In due time, a great “Wall of Extinction” was built between humans and bears, and they could no longer show aggression towards one another… One morning, Kureha Tsubasa and Sumika Izumino were alone watching lily flowers blooming. Just then, a Bear Warning pierces loudly through the air! Mystery brings on more mysteries, a series of one raging blow after another!” As for Suspiria, you can watch the original horror film on Amazon Prime Video, alongside the 2018 remake that is arguably just as terrifying. Here’s how the streaming service describes the spooky classic, “An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.” Want to see how the worlds of horror and anime collide in the future?

- [Every Type Of Infected Zombie In The Last Of Us, Explained - SlashFilm](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/every-type-of-infected-zombie-in-the-last-of-us-explained-slashfilm/) - Static Media HBO's "The Last of Us" is a tale of a post-apocalyptic world that has been torn asunder by a global infection, caused by a mutant strain of Cordyceps fungus. The Infected turn into various types of hybrid fungus-human monstrosities as the Cordyceps wreaks havoc in their body and brain, starting out as fairly run-of-the-mill rage zombies before becoming something far stranger. Advertisement "The Last of Us" season 2 (which fixes a huge mistake from the first season) will continue the story of the people who struggle to survive in the aftermath of the Cordyceps outbreak and the ensuing nigh-total breakdown of society. However, the show hasn't featured the Infected quite as much as the Naughty Dog video game series it's based upon, both because stopping the narrative every few minutes to stab half a dozen Infected in the face would be distracting, and because the heart of the franchise has always been about human behavior in times of crisis. This is no doubt a correct decision from a storytelling standpoint, but the way the show wheels out dramatically different types of Infected without fully explaining the logic behind them can also confuse a viewer who isn't familiar with the Cordyceps zombies and their life cycle. Let's fix this with a handy guide on the types of Infected in "The Last of Us" video games. Advertisement Infected Stage 1: Runners HBO The very first stage of the Cordyceps infection is unnamed on the HBO show, but the games call these fresh zombies runners. Both versions are clearly recognizable as human and their defining characteristics is their aggression toward the uninfected, but there are certain key differences. Advertisement In the show, the Cordyceps infection essentially controls these first-stage Infected like awkward puppets, leading to clumsiness, janky movements, and visible fungal threads within their bodies. Once they catch their prey and inflict open wounds, they're able to extend tendrils of fungi from their mouths, which they use to infect the victims. They're extremely creepy, but comparatively weak and simple to deal with if you know what you're doing and don't get caught by a pack of them. The game's take on runners resembles a more straightforward zombie ... at least on the outside. It's very heavily implied that this stage is a living hell where the person's mind is slowly overtaken by the infection, with their consciousness slowly fading as they helplessly ride a body that's rapidly going feral and possibly even murdering their own loved ones. That gives a whole new meaning to that scene in the series premiere, "When You're Lost in the Darkness," where Sarah Miller (Nico Parker) finds out that her nice neighbors have been killed by their old, infected Nana (Wendy Gorling), doesn't it? Advertisement Infected Stage 2: Stalkers Naughty Dog Stalkers, another phase of Infected, haven't technically appeared in the HBO series, and it's unclear if they'll be popping up in the second season. But in the games, Stalkers are a transitionary form from the initial runner stage to the more advanced Infected ones, trading the janky, jerky movements of the freshly-Infected with a look that represents more fungal growth, typically growing what look like branches out of various parts of their bodies. They're unnerving and dangerous, retaining their sight (which most later forms lack) and speed. Advertisement The worst trait of a stalker from the games is its surprising cunning, which surpasses virtually all other forms of Cordyceps zombie. This Infected is able to deploy simple stealth and survival tactics, which allows it to use rudimentary guerrilla tactics to approach and ambush its victims. In the games, the only sign of a stalker's presence can be the distinctive croaking sound it emits ... that is, until its get close to you and pounces. Infected Stage 3: Clickers HBO The closest thing "The Last of Us" has to a signature monster, the clicker, is the third stage of the Cordyceps infection and the first one that looks so thoroughly alien that you'd be forgiven for thinking the poor creature's body never belonged to a human being. At this point, the fungal growth doesn't simply protrude from a recognizable person's head and body anymore. Instead, it's fully flowing out, and is well on its way to shaping the body in its preferred image. A clicker's head has been turned into a blooming fungal mass that covers the eyes and renders this Infected unable to see. The body is also heavily deformed and enforced by hardened Cordyceps growths. Advertisement A clicker is effectively a super-powered, particularly ugly zombie that's faster, stronger, and considerably more durable than the person it once was. Its most iconic aspect, however, is related to its lack of sight. Since there's no way for it to see conventionally, the clicker perceives its environment by emitting chilling, throaty "click" sounds that it uses as a method of echolocation. A dangerous opponent that will bite, slash, and tear anything that's foolish enough to make noise in its vicinity, the clicker can only be taken down with extensive damage to its head. Joel (Pedro Pascal), Ellie (Bella Ramsey), and Tess (Anna Torv) are forced to battle no less than two of these dangerous creatures in "The Last of Us" season 1 episode 2, "Infected," and the encounter makes for one of the biggest nail-biters of the season. Advertisement Infected Stage 4: Bloaters HBO Stage four of the Cordyceps infection coats the Infected zombie in a suit of hard fungus armor, transforming them into a stocky juggernaut that's barely recognizable as a former human being. This stage is known as the bloater, and its physical prowess is far beyond anything the previous stages have at their disposal. A bloater is essentially a hulked-up clicker that makes up for its bigger bulk and slower speed by having increased strength, durability, and a frankly unfair long range ability to launch dangerous spore projectiles at the unwary opponent. Advertisement We've already seen one prominent bloater in the show's season 1, episode 5, "Endure and Survive" — and if you ask Joel and Ellie, there really is no need for more sightings like that ever again. The creature emerges from the underground tunnels that Kathleen Coghlan's (Melanie Lynskey) troops have ignored during her obsessive hunt for Henry Burrell (Lamar Johnson). The massive Cordyceps zombie is among the Infected who break the standoff between Kathleen's troop and the protagonists, and it proceeds to wreak havoc among humanity like the super-strong horror monster that it is. While the show's version doesn't demonstrate the video game bloaters' spore-bombing abilities, it's still easily as big, strong, and tough as they are. Since bloaters are a dangerous presence in "The Last of Us Part II" as well, fans may yet see a live-action adaptation of the monster's deadly spore projectiles. Advertisement Shamblers are an alternate fourth stage of the infected in The Last Of Us Naughty Dog Not every Cordyceps zombie that manages to survive for years and years becomes a bloater. Based on the circumstances, some of them end up becoming something even stranger and nastier: shamblers. Introduced in "The Last of Us Part II," the shambler is an alternate fourth stage of Cordyceps infection that only the sturdiest hosts can reach over time. Shamblers are effectively bloaters that have a chance to mature and develop in particularly wet conditions, and despite their comparable size, they're physically not nearly as strong as their bloater cousins. While they're utter damage sponges, they're far less armored, too. Advertisement Yet, a shambler has certain advantages other highly-developed Cordyceps zombies lack. They can attack using powerful acid spore gas, which they can emit from the various nauseating fungal growths all over their body. This trait remains dangerous even at the moment of the creature's death. When a shambler is defeated, it doesn't go quietly. Instead, all of its acid spore pustules explode at once, which gives a dying shambler a handy, explosive self-destruction mechanism. Shamblers are nowhere to be seen in "The Last of Us" season 1, which is understandable since the season only adapts the events of the first game. Still, considering how faithful the HBO show is to its source material, there's every reason to believe that these disgusting creatures will make a live-action appearance sooner or later. Advertisement The Rat King is an amalgam Infected creature that makes for a unique The Last of Us monster Naughty Dog The term "rat king" refers to a group of rats with tails that have tangled together in a way that effectively locks the rodents together as a singular entity that's made up of many separate creatures. This, really, is all you need to conjure an image of the Cordyceps zombie called the Rat King. Advertisement The only known Rat King in the franchise makes its appearance in "The Last of Us Part II." It's a horrendous creature that consists of a bloater and several clickers and stalkers. This group of Infected has spent so long in the confined basement area of the Seattle hospital Abby Anderson (mo-capped and voiced by Laura Bailey in the game, played by Kaitlyn Dever on the show) visits that the fungus has fused them all together into a massive, unstoppable wrecking ball. What's more, the Rat King Infected can operate separately once the fungal matter that conjoins them is sufficiently damaged. As such, fighting the creature is a truly arduous task that requires Abby to first defeat the whole Rat King entity and then take care of the uniquely strange bloater and stalker entities that escape from the mass. Advertisement The Seattle Rat King is by far the heaviest known hitter in "The Last of Us" video game series, and based on its comparatively late-game place in the sequel's narrative, it's very unlikely that the HBO show intends to fully unleash it before the tail end of season 2. Incidentally, its existence also proves that the Cordyceps brain infection can create astoundingly dangerous creatures if the circumstances are just right. Who knows how many Rat Kings (or even worse things) are lurking in the franchise's unexplored basements and post-apocalyptic tunnels? The show has toyed with other unique Infected forms HBO As if the aforementioned forms weren't creepy enough, HBO's "The Last of Us" has introduced a fascinating new Infected detail that wasn't in the games. In season 1 episode 2, "Infected," Joel, Tess (Anna Torv), and Ellie travel through the heavily Cordyceps-contaminated city of Boston. On their way, they discover that the relatively docile and calm Infected in the area are even more fungus-like than they initially appear to be. They're connected through a vast network that manifests in the shape of omnipresent, highly sensitive vines — and when a human steps on one, all the Infected in the area are immediately informed of the whereabouts of the disturbance. Advertisement The games, thankfully, lack a system that sics an entire city's worth of Infected on the player character at the slightest misstep. However, the fact that the show has introduced the Cordyceps hive mind suggests that there's no telling just what sorts of original Cordyceps monstrosities the show might be willing to cook up going forward. On the other hand, it's also entirely possible that the show will walk back the hive mind approach in order to make room for the franchise's most famous environmental hazard, which "The Last of Us" season 1 deliberately left out: spores. While it's fine that HBO's "The Last of Us" doesn't have the spores that require characters to keep a gas mask on hand in order to avoid becoming infected, certain integral season 2 scenes hinge on their existence — and a recent promotional image confirmed that spores will indeed be a factor in "The Last of Us" season 2. As such, it's entirely possible that the hive mind network was just a temporary narrative experiment. Advertisement But we'll find out when "The Last of Us" season 2 premieres on HBO on April 13, 2025.
- [First Details on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Sequel Reportedly Revealed - ComicBook.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/12/first-details-on-call-of-duty-black-ops-2-sequel-reportedly-revealed-comicbook-com/) - The first details of Call of Duty 2025 — reported to be Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — have leaked, courtesy of a playtester. And these details have been verified by one of the most reliable sources in the Industry, Tom Henderson. While the name may not suggest it, this year’s COD is reportedly going to be a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, at least in terms of story, which will be set in 2035 and bring back Alex Mason and Frank Woods. Videos by ComicBook.com This new Call of Duty campaign will reportedly allow for four-player co-op and include a big open-world map called Avalon. And this is the extent of details, about the campaign at least. There are more in the report about multiplayer and Zombies. In regards to the former, omni movement is said to be returning alongside wall running. These controversial mechanics are said to be returning alongside a new 32v32 player mode, which seems to be taking a page out of the Battlefield notebook. Included in the details about multiplayer is word that some remakes of popular Black Ops maps are returning, but with a 20235 futuristic Japanese style. Meanwhile, a progression level system, killstreaks, and perks are said to be in the game. Speaking of progression, players will apparently be able to carry over their progression from Black Ops 6. That’s it for multiplayer details, but there are a ton of details on Zombies. Included is word that the original crew will return, but with multi-verse variations, and alongside a Tranzit remake. Other reported details include word Zombies will be round based, have a difficulty toggle, include a “wonder vehicle,” and be more focused on story. Meanwhile, the final detail claims the new Zombies will have the largest round based map ever created for the mode. As noted, all of this information comes from an anonymous Reddit account that claims to be a playtester. Typically, such an account would not be worth paying too much attention to, but Henderson has backed the leak, and he is the biggest source when it comes to Call of Duty. All of that said, everything here should still be taken with a grain of salt. At the moment of publishing, neither Treyarch nor Activision nor Activision owner Xbox has commented on this new leak. If this changes, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.

A national rollout will follow – and in anticipation of the film’s release, our friends at Bloody Disgusting have shared some first-look images! You can see a couple of them at the bottom of this article, and more can be found at the Bloody Disgusting link. The feature directorial debut of Lisa Belcher, House of Abraham was written by actor Lukas Hassel (The Blacklist), who also stars alongside Lin Shaye (Insidious) and Natasha Henstridge (Species). Here’s a lengthy synopsis: Haunted by her childhood memories of finding her mother dead, a conflicted Dee (Henstridge) arrives at a mysterious secluded property looking for answers. Upon checking in, she meets six other weekend guests there for the same reason as herself — ending their lives with the assistance of the enigmatic host, Abraham (Hassel). Abraham assures everyone that their deaths will happen under his guidance, cleanly, safely, and most importantly, lovingly. When someone is ready to end their life, they will ring the bell of death outside, gathering everyone for their end. As he states: Life is not for everyone. He informs the guests that they are, of course, free to change their minds and leave if they so choose. When Dee stumbles upon evidence that a fellow guest has mysteriously disappeared, leaving all his things behind, she has the chilling realization that Abraham lied. No one leaves the House alive. A final confrontation between Dee and Abraham leads to a twist that no one can foresee. The future of the House of Abraham is on the line and the stakes are truly life and death. Belcher provided the following statement: “This film dares to tackle themes often overlooked by mainstream studios, resulting in a film that is both daring and thought-provoking. Filmed in Austin, Texas, our close-knit cast and crew poured their hearts into this project, and I am beyond excited to share our labor of love with the world.“ Abramorama CEO Karol Martesko-Fenster added, “Combining elements of mystery and horror with a touch of social satire, director Lisa Belcher has crafted a true original. The film is a true thrill ride and Abramorama is looking forward to bringing Lisa’s debut feature film House of Abraham to audiences across North America.“ Does House of Abraham sound interesting to you?

- [Forget Zombie Apocalypses, 'Last of Us' Season 2 All About "Feeding the Gays"](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/forget-zombie-apocalypses-last-of-us-season-2-all-about-feeding-the-gays/) - Just when you thought TV couldn’t possibly cram more identity politics into your living room, here comes The Last of Us season two, promising to “feed the gays” with a buffet of LGBTQ+ content. Actress Isabela Merced, the latest addition to the cast, seems positively thrilled about her role as Ellie’s new love interest, Dina. The showrunners apparently decided that a zombie apocalypse just isn’t dramatic enough without a side of representation romance. Merced gushed in an interview about what she called her “undeniable chemistry” with Bella Ramsey (Ellie), declaring that LGBTQ+ viewers will be overjoyed with this season’s offerings. “The gays are going to be fed,” she proclaimed, as if audiences have been starving for another heaping helping of Hollywood’s favorite virtue signal. Click the image below to watch on TikTok. The show plans to explore Ellie’s romantic history even further by introducing Noah Lamanna as Kat, Ellie’s first girlfriend in Jackson. The showrunners are apparently hoping another gay relationship will help to keep things spicy. Who cares about fighting fungus zombies when you can focus on lesbian romance entanglements? For those keeping track at home, this season picks up five years after Joel (Pedro Pascal) lied to Ellie about her blood being humanity’s salvation, a plotline that now seems to be taking a backseat so the show can prioritize its real mission: proving just how “inclusive” it can be. Related Sony Caught Abusing Youtube to Punish ‘The Last From Us 2’ Critics The original videogame also “gayed up” its sequel, which is what this second season will be based off of. Season one already served up plenty of LGBTQ+ representation, including an entire episode dedicated to Nick Offerman’s gay survivalist character and Ellie’s teenage romance. But clearly, that wasn’t enough. Now, Merced promises an even bigger helping of queer storylines, complete with scenes edited by a gay woman—because nothing screams diversity like making sure your editor checks the right diversity boxes too. Season two premieres April 13 on Max (formerly HBO), so buckle up for what promises to be another round of Hollywood patting itself on the back for all of its “inclusion,” because nothing says “apocalypse survival” like making sure every rainbow centric demographic gets their representation quota filled. Will you be tuning in? ****

- [Black Panther director's new vampire horror movie starring Michael B. Jordan debuts to fang ...](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/black-panther-directors-new-vampire-horror-movie-starring-michael-b-jordan-debuts-to-fang/) - New vampire horror movie Sinners is still one week away from hitting theaters, but thanks to early press screenings, the movie has landed rave reviews from critics.Sinners, directed by Black Panther helmer Ryan Coogler, has debuted to a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score based on 37 reviews at the time of writing. Linda Marric from HeyUGuys called Sinners "A film of breathtaking audacity," while Fangoria’s BJ Colangelo said, "Sinners is currently Coogler’s magnum opus… This isn’t only one of the best horror films of the year, it’s one of the best films, period."Many critics are congratulating Coogler, who for a long time has been deep in the world of Marvel, on his successful horror debut. "Ryan Coogler enters the horror realm and nails it in Sinners," wrote IGN Movie’s Eric Goldman, and Andrew J. Salazar from Discussing Film echoed, "Sinners is Ryan Coogler's most audacious work yet, creating a fresh spin on vampire horror stories."

"Sinners brilliantly illustrates Black life in the violent and poverty-stricken Jim Crow-segregated South while portraying a vibrant cultural landscape brimming with music," said Julian Roman from MovieWeb. Similarly, Brandon Lewis from Geek Vibes Nation called Sinners a "swaggering magnum opus” that “chips away at the borders of Blackness to posit a new path while giving credit to past ones forged for survival."Set in the '30s in the deep south of the United States during its Jim Crow era, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, as they return to their hometown looking to start their troubled lives again. However, as they return, they find that their once home has been taken over by a greater evil.

- ["Star Wars" Horror Project In The Works? - Dark Horizons](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/star-wars-horror-project-in-the-works-dark-horizons/) - “Andor” creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has dropped the hint that a horror project set within the “Star Wars” universe is in the works at Lucasfilm. Ahead of his show’s second season return in just under two weeks, he spoke with Business Insider who asked him what he would do if Lucasfilm and Disney hired
- [Tony Gilroy Says Lucasfilm Might Actually Be Making a Star Wars Horror Project - Gizmodo](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/tony-gilroy-says-lucasfilm-might-actually-be-making-a-star-wars-horror-project-gizmodo/) - For as long has he has been bringing Andor to life, Tony Gilroy has championed the series as one that opens the gateway for Star Wars to explore various genres it rarely touches on in TV and film. And now, according to the man himself, the franchise might actually be doing that. Speaking to Business Insider at a recent Andor event in London ahead of the second season’s premiere later this month, Gilroy said responded to a question about a comment he’d previously floated about Star Wars series he’d like to see, including a horror story, saying “They’re doing that. I think they’re doing that. I think that’s in the works, yeah.” Speaking to SFX Magazine back in March, Gilroy had previously joked that Andor‘s success should pave the way for a sitcom or horror project. “I always fantasized that the show would break new ground, that someone would be able to make a three-camera sitcom in Star Wars or a horror movie. I think the first thing I said to Kathy [Kennedy] when she said they wanted to open a line, was, ‘Could you do a courtroom drama? And why not?’ We’ve worked really hard on Andor to make our lane, and it’s up to other people now to find another way to do it.” If the horror project does now exist, Gilroy is seemingly not part of its production, going by his comments about being perfectly happy to round out his time on Star Wars with Andor‘s completion. But if it does happen (a less-than-certain guarantee when it comes to Star Wars in recent times), at least the show will have completed its goals to get Star Wars to push the scope and tones of the stories it’s willing to tell outside of ancillary media. io9 has reached out to Disney for comment and clarification on Gilroy’s remarks, and will update this post when and if we hear back.

- [The fantastic Good Boy sniffs out the ghosts of the 2025 Overlook Film Festival - AV Club](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/the-fantastic-good-boy-sniffs-out-the-ghosts-of-the-2025-overlook-film-festival-av-club/) - As it has since 2018, despite being interrupted by the pandemic, the Overlook Film Festival returned to New Orleans for a four-day celebration of all things horror. To be fair, America’s most haunted city probably always looks like a horror film festival in town. From the dungeons-turned-dive bars to Anne Rice vampire tours, the city’s obsession with the macabre is palpable on every street corner. Take a haunted pub crawl, and the tour guide will tell you the city’s ghosts are the result of centuries of trauma, from slavery, from the Great New Orleans Fire, and from the uncontrollable masses that come in for Mardi Gras and leave in a body bag—or, at least, with a killer hangover. The only difference is when Overlook’s in town, the Boulet Brothers slam in the back of their Dragula at the front of a second line parade. Photo: Matt Schimkowitz Most Popular The excitement of the opening night festivities, which included a drag show from the Boulets, carried throughout the weekend. It climaxed with Overlook’s closing night screening of Clown In A Cornfield (B-). A raucous crowd of horror lovers wearing their best Killer Klowns From Outer Space T-shirts crammed into the Prytania Theatre, a cozy 100-year-old single-screen movie house, for Eli Craig’s third feature, and were treated to a surprisingly funny slasher. Based on a series of young adult novels by Adam Caesare, Craig’s adaptation takes a hard-R approach to the material. Following her mother’s death, Quinn Maybrook (Katie Douglas) and her doctor father (Aaron Abrams) move from Philadelphia to the decaying town of Kettle Springs, Missouri. Once the corn syrup capital of the Midwest, Kettle Springs has fallen on hard times since the old Baypen syrup factory burned down, forcing most of its residents into the unemployment line. The town’s funereal air leaves the local teens with little to do besides make short YouTube slasher videos starring Frendo the Clown, the company’s out-of-work mascot. So when actual murders start cropping up around town, Sheriff Dunne (Will Sasso) and Mayor Arthur Hill (Kevin Durand) pin the murders on Quinn’s new friends, Cole (Carson MacCormac) and Janet (Cassandra Potenza). After skewering the genre with his sideways slasher Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, here Craig directs his most conventional slasher to date. But even though it’s played more like a Dimension-era hack-’em-up, with big action scenes and heavy gore, Craig and co-writer Carter Blanchard find plenty of places to indulge their sense of humor. At its best, Clown teases the audience around what is a real murder and what is just another video, sometimes telling that what’s on-screen is fake while still mining a scare anyway. But the humor proves more successful than the horror, with the most memorable elements being those times when the cast punctures scenes with their knowledge of scary movies. Clown rarely ceases to entertain, even though one can spot the ending from a mile away. Furthermore, it offers enough thematic and satirical resonance about the generational divide and mid-American rot to make it a cut above the clown car of circus-themed horror that’s been driving around Hollywood for the last decade or so. The fun of Clown In A Cornfield gave way to the emotional terrorism of Ben Leonberg’s Good Boy (A-). Perhaps I wasn’t prepared for how strenuous of an ordeal watching a haunted house movie from the dog’s perspective would be. As soon as the camera lands on Indy (played by the director’s actual pup), the urge to protect this little guy at all costs begins to grow. But this film isn’t just a clever conceit or a way to poke at one of cinema’s greatest taboos. Good Boy gets into the dog’s head and evokes the confusion, worry, and stress of an animal sensing a threat outside its human’s purview. Shot from about 19 inches off the ground, Good Boy follows Indy as he moves with his sickly human Todd (a faceless performance by Leonberg and co-producer Kari Fischer and voiced by Shane Jensen) to a cabin in the woods. Because we’re locked into Indy’s perspective, we don’t know what’s wrong with Todd exactly, but we gather that he received a severe diagnosis, sending him out to the sticks. Mapping a ghost story onto the canine ability to sense illness in humans and spirits in spaces, Good Boy tests the audience’s stomach around how long they can stand dog endangerment. Leonberg says he based the film on the trope of the animals always being the first to know what’s really going on in horror, often barking at an unwelcome offender and paying the price (see: Halloween). And he achieves a technical marvel in his 75-minute first feature, generating both genuine scares and deep stakes. It might be a cheat code to get us on the hero’s side, but Leonberg finds remarkable depth in his animal-based conceit, one that becomes a clear and devastating metaphor. Going from good boys to chain saws, Alexandre O. Philippe’s latest documentary, Chain Reactions (C+), offered a distinct change of pace from many other festival titles—though there were a few other documentaries represented, including Sundance films Predators and Zodiac Killer Project. An improvement on Lynch/Oz, Philippe’s previous essay film, Chain Reactions takes in five perspectives on Tobe Hooper’s immortal Texas Chain Saw Massacre. With interviews from Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Karyn Kusama, and more, Chain Reactions looks at the influence and persistence of the first family of cannibal cinema. Spread across five chapters, one for each of the film’s interview subjects, Chain Reactions follows their lifelong obsession with the film. In the film’s most indelible moment, Miike tells of a fateful trip to see City Lights at the theater. When the Charlie Chaplin film sold out, Miike bought a ticket for Texas Chain Saw, setting him on a course to change horror movies forever with his extreme genre entries Audition and Ichi The Killer. Others, like Australian critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, explore how the reproduction of the film, particularly the yellow-tinged and heavily distorted VHS version that proliferated in Australia, connects Hooper’s film to the art and exploitation cinema of Peter Weir and Peter Jackson. Chain Reactions isn’t reinventing the chain saw. It offers several interesting and entertaining readings of the text and makes a strong case for what is already considered one of the most revered movies ever, but it would’ve made a better Blu-ray special feature than a standalone release. Shorts In addition to the dozen or so features I watched at Overlook, I saw several shorts by up-and-coming filmmakers, ranging from hilarious to tragic. Here are three worth keeping an eye out for. Endzgiving (Directed by Tina Carbone) There was a surge in pandemic-inspired zombie projects this year, and understandably so. One of the best is Endzgiving, a well-played horror comedy set amid the zombie apocalypse that will ring true to anyone who remembers the COVID holidays of yore. When one guest arrives with a fresh bite, the host sets a timer for an hour and hopes to have a nice dinner before they start hungering for brains. Cleverly directed and edited by Tina Carbone, Endzgiving plays up the horror of finding normality in traumatic times, making its point without overdoing it. Los Muchachos (Directed by Alejandro Artiles) Zombie attacks are rarely convenient, but they can be downright rude when they arrive the same night a once-in-a-lifetime comet streaks across the sky. In the Spanish short Los Muchachos, this nightmarish scenario plays out for a career-minded astronomer who spends Earth’s final evening monitoring the skies as the undead put teeth to skin. A one-man show from actor Maykol Hernández, the short sees him coming to terms with his decision to work as his wife and son flee the city. Alejandro Artiles finds the tragedy in zombie movies and locks into Hernández’s character as the one night he’s been waiting for becomes the worst of his life. Destroyer (Directed by Judd Myers) Judd Myers’ Possession riff Destroyer is as alluring as it is confounding. Like all the greats of cosmic horror, that’s not an insult. It is a slow-moving, atmospheric story about a paranoid and insecure man (Frank Mosley) who believes his girlfriend (Anna Seregina, one of Los Angeles’ best comics in a deathly serious role) is cheating on him. One night, after she leaves for one of her supposed trysts, he follows her to a mysterious house on the edge of town. Revealing what’s inside would ruin the fun, but it’s an ambitious twist that stretches to the cosmos and lingers long after the 20-minute runtime concludes. More from A.V. Club
- [How The Exorcist Was Based on a Real-Life Possession Case (Yes, Really) - SYFY](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/how-the-exorcist-was-based-on-a-real-life-possession-case-yes-really-syfy/) - More than half a century after its game-changing 1973 release, The Exorcist (airing this month on SYFY) continues to rate atop many critics’ lists of the greatest horror movies ever made. Directed by the late William Friedkin and inspired by the same-named novel from William Peter Blatty, the movie rattled contemporary audiences with its spine-tingling showdown between religious faith and the deepest-seeded forces of evil, while spawning a larger book and screen franchise whose latest installment — a yet-untitled film from director Mike Flanagan — is set to arrive sometime in 2026. But though The Exorcist still stands out in fans’ minds for its horrifically head-turning supernatural twists (pun intended!), what many viewers might not know is that both the movie and the book drew on actual events to weave their highly dramatized tales of possession and purging.An unexplained real-life possession case inspired the events of The Exorcist[embedded content]Speaking at a lookback Q&A in 2012, Friedkin himself shared a bit of the real-life lore behind his movie adaptation, confessing his own fundamental belief in the underlying mystery that fuels the film’s demon-cleansing plot. Noting that Blatty’s original novel was itself inspired by real accounts of a reported 1949 possession involving a 13-year-old boy (portrayed by a girl, Linda Blair, in its fictional treatments to protect the child’s identity), Friedkin recounted how the victim’s ordeal tested the real-life family who endured its remarkable horrors.“The family was Lutheran,” said Friedkin (via Entertainment Weekly), “and they went through all the stages you see in the film: They went to doctors, clinics, and finally went back to their own pastor in the Lutheran church, who recommended they see a priest," Friedkin said.Friedkin even found a surprising alliance within some corners of the Catholic faith during the film’s production and promotion, a benefit he attributed to his own interpretation of the exorcism ritual’s long-held status as an esoteric, but well-established church practice. “The Cardinal in New York preached about it from the pulpit and said great things about it," Friedkin said of his film. “The guy who was the head of the Jesuit order at the time, Father Pedro Arrupe, who was headquartered in Milan, he had his own print of it and would show it to his fellow priests and bishops and cardinals.”In the end, Friedkin reflected on his landmark horror film as an optimist’s examination of the unexplained, a stylized exploration through art of the mysteries that science — at least so far — hasn’t found a measured way to directly address. “I did this film because I believe in the story. This film was made by a believer,” he maintained. “…I know it's voted this-and-that horror film, but to me, it's about the mystery of faith.”Experience the demonically dreadful terror of the The Exorcist on SYFY, where the movie is part of this month’s lineup of classic spooky stories and must-watch genre classics.

There are obviously plenty of horror options on the streaming service to choose from, so a single movie exiting the service doesn’t feel like the biggest deal, but it does keep when a streamer you subscribe to loses one of the very best the genre has to offer. That’s what is going to happen after the weekend, when Netflix bids farewell to Hereditary. Videos by ComicBook.com The 2018 film immediately established Ari Aster as one of the most important voices working in horror, in addition to flipping the genre on its head and ushering in an emotional, cerebral new era of big screen scares. Hereditary has been a staple of Netflix’s horror lineup for a little while now, but will unfortunately exit the service at the start of the week, giving subscribers just a couple of days to watch it. Hereditary is set to leave Netflix on April 15th, meaning that Monday, April 14th, will be the final day the film will be available to watch on the service. So if you’ve had Hereditary in your Netflix watchlist and just haven’t gotten to it yet, your time is quickly running out. Since releasing Hereditary, Aster has gone on to direct Midsommar and Beau is Afraid. His next movie, Eddington, is expected to arrive sometime this year. [RELATED: Impossible to Find Horror Movie Suddenly Starts Streaming] What’s Netflix Losing in April? Hereditary marks one of the biggest losses for Netflix this month, but the streaming service has actually already seen several popular titles exit since April began.

This comes with the territory, as the genre can really polarize viewers with everything from tone to gore to the director to a franchise’s legacy. Focusing on Rotten Tomatoes scores, we will spotlight seven films that deserve a second glance. Our journey took us through many decades and sub-genres, all capturing the unique magic of a horror film that you may love and need a little extra appreciation for… Honorable Mentions: Saw (50%)– As one of the most famous franchises today, it’s wild to think Saw had such humble beginnings with an underappreciated indie. Frogs (26%)– It’s bad when looked at as a Jaws-era rip-off, but Frogs on its own as a smart and weird little creature film starring Sam Elliot. Two Thousand Maniacs! (45%) Going all the way back to 1964, Two Thousand Maniacs! is an early example of people being resistant to something, even if it became the standard not too far after. The extreme gore throughout this Herschell Gordon Lewis showcase shocked and disgusted its viewers when it initially dropped, and it took some time for it to find its audience. When it did, many understood that Two Thousand Maniacs! is an excellent mix of gory fun and legit horror. We’d see this used for decades throughout, especially during the 00s ‘torture porn’ era. Not without its flaws, mainly the dated effects, you can’t help but fall for this gnarly little slasher. It would even see a remake in 2005 with Robert Englund, which shows the lasting power of this underrated romp. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (50%) Season of the Witch could’ve worked better if the film had any other title, something like Silver Shamrock, but the Halloween title sets expectations. You want Michael Myers, and he’s nowhere to be seen. Looking at this film as its own thing, an intended anthology entry about the horrors of the spooky season, it’s pretty deliciously dark. Tom Atkins is eating up this film, playing a doctor on a mission to unearth the horrors of the Silver Shamrock Novelties factory. Add in some wild mythos and some iconic masks, and you’ll grow to see how this bizarre film makes for great fun. Also, plan to have this haunted jingle in your head for days. John Carpenter had no plans to make Michael Myers the centerpiece of the Halloween franchise and wanted filmmakers to explore how scary this time of year could be. Idle Hands (16%) If anyone knows my tastes, a sleazy Satanic teen film from 1999 would easily win me over. It’s not hard to craft something so perfect, akin to what I love in my horror, but Idle Hands struggled with others. As the lowest-rated film on this list, you would think this film would be a god-awful disaster, but it’s the typical teen schlock you’d find all over this year. Idle Hands works because it knows precisely its tone, style, and point of view. Is it a bit too hormonal, teen boy? Sure, but that’s par for what everything in 1999 was. Products of their time deserve love, and this is a loveable romp. Ironically enough, one year later, star Devon Sawa would star in another Rotten-scoring horror film that deserves another look: the underrated Final Destination. Sawa owned campy 90s horror! Scream 3 (40%) I don’t think any Scream movie should be labeled bad, especially regarding Wes Craven’s iconic original trilogy. Is Scream 3 as strong as the first film? No, but not many films can hit that level of brilliance. 2000’s Scream 3 suffers from a problem most of these first few had: script rewrites that throw off the film’s flow. The films, especially this third film, struggle to find their groove in the story department. That said, what does work here is terrific, including two Gale Weathers, Craven mocking Harvey Weinstein to his face, and great meta moments. Craven rarely missed, and it’s wild to think this would be considered one. Given our two recent Wes Craven-less Scream sequels have struggled to find their foot with diehard fans, Scream 3 is a perfect film to give a revisit. The tone is wild, but there’s no denying the fun here. The Devil’s Rejects (54%) Rob Zombie is one of the most polarizing horror filmmakers. If it’s his hell-billy style or shocking remakes, Zombie can piss anyone off. But that shouldn’t detract from how good The Devil’s Rejects is. The sequel to his bombastic debut, House of 1000 Corpses, this 2005 upped the ante and showed Zombie operating at another level. Gone is the heavy music video style editing and campy tone, and in his place is one of the most hard-hitting 70s-style exploitation films. Wildly enough, it feels like a sleazier Quentin Tarantino film, and I think if you slapped Tarantino’s name on this exact film, people would love it. The Devil’s Rejects has a polish that few Rob Zombie movies have. It feels like a strong vision from start to finish. And speaking of a finish, this could have one of the best horror endings. Jennifer’s Body (46%) By now, it feels passe to sing the praises of Jennifer’s Body; the once-hated and now-re-evaluated horror film has its fair share of discourse. As someone who was there in 2009, I’ll never forgive those who hated it. We had one of Diablo Cody’s best scripts with Karyn Kusama at the helm, and you’re telling me we let this slip past us? That’s not even adding in the wonderful performances of Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, who eat this up. It was a perfect storm to craft one of the best “coming-of-rage” movies, and the mainstream hated it for far too long. It was stuck as an overlooked nostalgic gem when people finally came around. This is a reminder to appreciate those gnarly little horrors now, not later. Jennifer’s Body is a lot of fun and aged even better with the modern focus on female stories within horror. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (42%) Outside of Minus One from last year, I can’t think of another modern Godzilla movie that captures the magic of being a kaiju fan like Michael Dougherty’s King of the Monsters from 2019. The MonsterVerse has its highs and lows, but it’s obscene to think this monster brawl is one of the bad ones. Godzilla: King of the Monsters gives you plenty to sink your teeth into, especially if you love the most iconic kaiju in Godzilla’s line-up. The human story struggles, which is the case for even some of the best movies in this franchise, but it gets made up for seeing King Ghidorah fight Nuclear Godzilla. Getting Rodan, Mothra, Ghidorah, and one of the best takes on Godzilla should never be considered terrible, but it does speak to how hard it is to sell kaiju madness to everyone.

- ['Warfare,' the last war movie we'll ever need, is here: Best movies and shows for you this weekend](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/warfare-the-last-war-movie-well-ever-need-is-here-best-movies-and-shows-for-you-this-weekend/) - The feeling of peeling your shirt from the back of the theater seat and seeing the photographs of the real Navy SEALS involved paired next to the actors that portrayed them are the two clearest signs that “Warfare,” the new film from Alex Garland (“Civil War,” “28 Days Later”), has finally ended. And what a harrowing, relentless, unflinching journey it is. You don’t watch “Warfare;” you survive it. The movie follows a team of Navy Seals, all based on real soldiers, during a mission-turned-sideways in Ramadi, Iraq in 2006. “Warfare” is written by Ray Mendoza, a 16-year Navy SEAL veteran who was deployed in Iraq twice. He paired himself with Garland in order to recreate the horror he witnessed firsthand, and this movie is as much a horror film as it is a military movie and an action thriller. It’s almost a complete rejection of “1917,” a WWI film that strips the violence of organized military combat in favor of identifying the beauty that perseveres, captured through its gorgeous cinematography. Don’t be fooled, this is not a pro-military film filled with patriotic propaganda. It’s a nasty 95-minute adventure that doesn’t attempt to shield the public from the atrocities of war through narratives and other Hollywood polish. It doesn’t ask questions. It doesn’t provide answers. It’s merely a document. Some have described “Warfare” as the opening 30 minutes of “Saving Private Ryan,” when the Americans storm Omaha Beach, for an entire movie. Technically impressive and loud as hell, if you have the stomach for a film like this, you will be rewarded with one of the most visceral movies ever made. “Warfare” is in theaters Friday. Here’s what else is available to watch this weekend. What & How to Watch On Apple TV+: Your Friends and Neighbors Jon Hamm has been on fire in the TV world. Following significant roles in “The Morning Show,” “Fargo,” and “Landman,” Hamm gives us “Your Friends and Neighbors:” a series about a fired hedge fund manager who turns to thievery, targeting his affluent neighbors and former colleagues in order to make ends meet. It’s a part of the modern canon of TV where we watch “rich people do awful stuff with lavish backdrops,” but it does explore some new territory. The show has lots of fun exposing more than a few skeletons in rich people’s closets as Hamm burglurizes his way to stability. More entertaining than a critique on class, Hamm’s turn to break some bad is a great watch. On Max: The Last of Us Season 2 Amid Max and Apple TV+’s face-off for being the most relevant streaming service of the year, the second season of “The Last of Us” is upon us, premiering this Sunday. A post-apocalyptic zombie-infested voyage through America, the celebrated series based on the award-winning video game will completely flip the script with its second chapter, and test its audience in thought-provoking ways. Is it sacrilegious to compare “The Last of Us Season 2” to “The Godfather Part II?” Absolutely, but the parallels are there in the ways characters change in unrecognizable turns, the structure of its story, and how the morality at the heart of the show is thrashed around amongst the chaos. It’s a wholly original sequel, and proves to be an incredible test to adapt for television. But, if done so successfully, it would be one of the best television shows of 2025. And it takes place in Seattle, how cool! Episodes arrive weekly on Sunday, with the season debuting on April 13. On Max: Hacks “Hacks” returns for a fourth season after historic success at the Emmys and other awards bodies. Seattle-native Jean Smart won three Emmys for lead comedic actress in three tries, while the show also collected three writing, one directing, and one “Best Comedy Series” Emmys. “Hacks” is about a down-on-her-luck comedy writer swooped up and mentored by a comedic legend, for better or worse. With physical comedy just as smart, fresh, and punchy as its writing and line delivery, the dark-humor dramedy creates such a unique pair of characters and a complicated, twisted relationship between them. Season 4 picks up from the last season’s highs and hits the ground running, ready to deliver another incredible slew of episodes. Follow Frank Sumrall on X. Send news tips here.
- [Ranked: the top ten zombies on screen — by our expert - The Times](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/11/ranked-the-top-ten-zombies-on-screen-by-our-expert-the-times/) - The zombie drama is the genre that doesn’t die. It is for ever undead. Every time you think it has exhausted ways for the dead to rise up and create mayhem, another film or TV show arrives and is once again the most talked about thing around. This happened most recently with The Last of Us, HBO’s post-apocalyptic nightmare (shown in the UK on Sky), which is now back with a second series (April 14). The first series chimed unsettlingly with a world still readjusting to normality after a pandemic. Can series two do the same? Time will tell. One thing’s for sure, The Last of Us won’t be the last of our zombie horrors. Here are my ten favourite examples of the dead rising again.Brad Greenquist and Dale Midkiff in Pet SemataryALAMY10. Pet Sematary (1989)Not all zombies are lurching cadavers. Not all are even human. In this hokey Stephen King adaptation a family cat is buried in a mystical pet cemetery after being mown down on a highway. Hey presto! The mog rises from the grave as good as new … apart from the bared fangs, glowing green eyes, bad odour and preference for ripping small animals to pieces over Whiskas. Paramount+9. The Thriller video (1983)John Landis and Michael Jackson jettisoned any creeping dread in favour of niftily synchronised undead dance routines, paying musical homage to B-movie horror. The 12-minute video is still great fun, although it is never made clear why the ghouls were climbing from their tombs to try out body-popping moves. Blame it on the boogie? YouTubeBill Pullman in The Serpent and the RainbowALAMY8. The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)In Wes Craven’s Haiti, the undead are locals slipped a paralysing drug, buried, dug up and, in their visibly glum, semi-lobotomised state, used as slaves. Guess what happens to meddling scientist Bill Pullman? “Don’t bury me,” he is soon screaming. “I’m not dead!” For his troubles, the poor man also gets a nail in his privates. It is not a great advert for a career in anthropology. Prime VideoAdvertisement7. Re-Animator (1985)A bona fide cult 1980s video-store rental. Naked corpses run amok after a modern Dr Frankenstein’s experiments down in the morgue. Amid outrageous levels of carnage (out-gored perhaps only by Peter Jackson’s splatter-com Braindead seven years later), bowels creep out of orifices to throttle the unwary and a corpse carries around its own severed head in a bowl … and takes a shine to an unfortunate female patient. Prime VideoCillian Murphy in 28 Days LaterALAMY6. 28 Days Later (2002)New century, new zombies. The shambling gait and outstretched arms were rendered obsolete overnight by Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic horror. Here the dead were all-sprinting maniacs. The zombie virus was a contagion transmitted to humans by animals (in this case infected chimps) and the sight of Cillian Murphy awaking in St Thomas’ Hospital to an empty London eerily presaged a real pandemic 18 years later. RentKate Ashfield, Simon Pegg and Lucy Davis in Shaun of the DeadALAMY5. Shaun of the Dead (2004)By contrast, Shaun of the Dead’s zombies were a throwback to mouldering, slack-jawed shufflers — they looked “like a drunk who’s lost a bet”. Simon Pegg’s slacker tribute to George Romero was also very funny as the absurd mixed with the mundane in suburbia. Take for example the moment in a pub where Pegg’s band of survivors, armed only with pool cues, beat up an elderly corpse to Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now on the jukebox. Prime Video4. The Returned (2012-15)The Gallic zombies. This downbeat drama pre-dated The Last of Us as a TV series where the zombies were almost secondary to the sense of dislocated trauma. This one had a Twin Peaks-ish feel, however, as local dead people start to reappear in a small Alpine town. They look ordinary and act normal — even teenage school-bus crash victim Camille — except for their oddly insatiable sex drives. Don’t trust them. Prime VideoChristine Gordon, Frances Dee and Tom Conway in I Walked With A ZombieALAMY3. I Walked with a Zombie (1943)The most beautiful zombie was a black-and-white one. A blonde woman might just be a corpse among lost souls in Jacques Tourneur’s classic, which is like Jane Eyre gone voodoo. But is she? As the poster helpfully put it: She’s alive … Yet dead! She’s dead … Yet alive! Accept the vintage feel and this is a tremendously atmospheric slice of exotic noir-horror (not the first Haiti-set one, though — Bela Lugosi in White Zombie was 1932), underpinned by a metaphor about the injustice of slavery. iPlayerAdvertisementBella Ramsey and Anna Torv in The Last of UsALAMY2. The Last of Us (2023-)The thinking man’s The Walking Dead imagines how a fungus starts affecting humans’ brains in 2003, started by a mutation in the food chain. Suddenly society is decimated by hideous monstrosities — zombies, to all intents and purposes — sprouting tendrils out of their mouths or large, obscenely colourful fungal growths from their heads. They are truly horrifying, whether sprinting at their prey with a blood-chilling scream or by creeping half seen in a dark building making ghastly echolocating noises. Sky/Now1. Dawn of the Dead (1978)Zombies have always been metaphorical reflections of society. In George Romero’s sequel to his fantastic 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead — which featured hordes besieging a remote farmhouse, still pretty frightening — the undead now stagger mindlessly around shopping malls. Why? Because here is “a horrible, hauntingly accurate vision of the mindless excesses of a society gone mad”. Apparently, blueish-faced, flesh-hungry cadavers are the “horrible consequences” of our consumerist world. Think of them the next time you go to your local shopping centre.

- [Movie theaters erupt in chaos as part of 'Minecraft' social media trend - WGN-TV](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/movie-theaters-erupt-in-chaos-as-part-of-minecraft-social-media-trend-wgn-tv/) - (WFLA/WROC/WPIX) — Rowdy crowds of young people have been disrupting screenings of the newly released “A Minecraft Movie” around the country as they take part in the so-called “chicken jockey” trend. Based on the wildly popular video game, the movie hit theaters last week and racked up $157 million in ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada during its opening weekend, delivering Hollywood a much needed box office hit. Some of that success can be attributed to crowds of young people who saw online “meme potential” in a certain scene featured in the trailer, as NBC News reports. Videos have emerged from inside theaters across the U.S. showing moviegoers erupting into a frenzy when Jack Black, as Steve, yells the words “chicken jockey” in a boxing ring. In Minecraft, “chicken jockey” is the phrase used to describe an adorable, but formidable, enemy: a baby zombie that rides a chicken into battle, like a horse. The videos taken from inside theaters show crowds exploding into cheers, screams and chaos, throwing popcorn, climbing chairs and shouting the phrase along with Jack Black.

- [What is 'chicken jockey' in A Minecraft Movie? Fan favourite moment explained](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/what-is-chicken-jockey-in-a-minecraft-movie-fan-favourite-moment-explained/) - Minecraft Movie features various scenes that make reference to in-game mechanics and jokes but one in particular has caught fans’ attention.Some people have even been kicked out of cinemas for their reactions to the so-called “chicken jockey”.The film came out on April 4 in the UK and already bad behaviour from some people in the US has led to some cinemas requiring younger audience members to be accompanied by an adult.For example, the Township Theatre in New Jersey put out a statement on Sunday April 6, saying that minors would have to be “accompanied by a parent or responsible adult” following “an unfortunate situation”.But what scene is it that has provoked such behaviour – and just what is a chicken jockey?What is a chicken jockey in Minecraft?The scene in question shows Jack Black’s character, Steve, seeing a baby zombie fall on to the back of a chicken. While meant to cause laughs, some viewer have let out loud disruptive screams or thrown popcorn.Within the Minecraft game, a chicken jockey is a baby zombie riding a chicken, an extremely rare phenomenon in the game that some players might never see for themselves.The premiere of A Minecraft Movie at Cineworld Leicester Square in central London on Sunday March 30, 2025Ben Whitley/PA WirePlayers must wait for zombies to appear, which can only happen at night, and then cross their fingers that the zombie is a baby (relatively rare) and then cross their toes that a chicken is close enough that they might spawn on top of it.The Minecraft Wikipedia page gives the probability of a chicken jockey’s appearance. “Each baby zombie, baby husk, baby zombie villager, baby zombified piglin, or baby drowned that spawns has a 5% chance to check for an existing chicken within a 10×6×10 box centered on the baby's spawn location and spawn riding one of those chickens if there are any,” the page explains.“If it fails that 5% chance, there is an additional 5% chance of the baby zombie spawning mounted on a new chicken. In a chicken-free environment, each spawned zombie has a 0.25% chance of becoming a chicken jockey; if chickens are present, the chance increases to 0.4875%.”The low likelihood of this happening highlights how rare the in-game event is – but it happens 100% of the time when watching that scene in the movie, of course.Minecraft Movie has been a box office smash, generating £15 million at UK and Irish cinemas and $163 million (£128 million) on its first three days at the North American box office.This has made it the highest-grossing video game movie adaptation ever, beating even the Super Mario movie.

I got messages saying, ‘I’m going to find your kids, and I’m going to kill them because you support child murder.’ ... The head of security at various studios and the FBI had to examine the threats. It was highly aggressive and really scary.”Scream VIParamountloading...READ MORE: Every Scream Movie Ranked, From Worst to BestDespite the hostile environment he found himself in, Landon did not fire Barrera - who was dismissed from the film by production company Spyglass Media in November 2023, with the director insisting he had “no control of the situation at all.”He said: “I did not fire her. A lot of people think I had something to do with it, and it was not my doing. I had no control of the situation at all. I think in the absence of people understanding how Hollywood works and what the hierarchy is, the fans were like, ‘That’s the guy.’ And so they came for me, knives out.”The Happy Death Day filmmaker added Spyglass Media wanted him to stay on the project, but “the amount of abuse that [he] had to deal with” over the Barrera controversy ultimately proved too much for him.He explained: “They wanted me to continue on. They basically said, ‘You can restart it. You can figure it out.’ But the amount of abuse that I had to deal with — I decided I didn’t want to give any part of myself to that.”“For me, it was not worth it. I would rather put my efforts into something else, where I could feel appreciated and respected. The hate and abuse really spoiled it for me, and I lost my love for the idea of going forward.”After his exit, Kevin Williamson, who wrote the original Scream movie, was brought on to direct the project, though Landon emphasized he had no animosity towards the filmmaker.He said: “There’s no resentment at all. What else are you going to do? Wallow? Then they win ... I want ‘Scream’ to succeed. Kevin probably made a banger of a movie, because he knows it better than anybody.

- [After the end | ClarkU News](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/after-the-end-clarku-news/) - After the end What “The Last of Us” teaches us about society, survival, systems, and self “The Last of Us” started as a video game developed by Naughty Dog, morphed into a popular 2023 HBO series, and is that rare cultural sensation poised to gain in popularity when the second season drops on April 13. The series depicts a deadly fungal pandemic that has obliterated much of the United States, leaving a smuggler named Joel and a teenage girl named Ellie to journey across the country, warding off zombie-like humans, eluding an oppressive government regime, and outwitting roving bands of marauders. It’s bloody. It’s bleak. And we love it. Every dark moment. But why? Members of our faculty — from a fungus expert to teachers of dystopian film, games, and books — unravel the meaning and the madness behind our ongoing fascination with post-apocalyptic narratives. Above: Mycelium isolate, Basidiobolus ranarum is an opportunistic pathogen which lives in the gastrointestinal tract of amphibians. Lauren Parry, a Ph.D. student working in the Tabima Lab studies antifungal response trends for Basidiobolus using type, lab grown isolates, and isolates under selective pressures in the urbanized Worcester watershed. The time lapse was created from photos taken every five minutes for six days–a total of 1,676 separate photos. Why do we revel in tales of our own destruction? Are there life-affirming lessons in the wake of mass catastrophe? And are we confident that if the fateful day arrives when our planet shudders, the last of us will include — us? Let’s find out … Part 1. Why are we drawn to apocalyptic narratives? How we embrace, and grapple with, dystopian storytelling Betsy Huang, an English professor with an affinity for speculative fiction, recently rewatched season one of “The Last of Us” in preparation for the season two premiere. Season two is dropping at a time when many people are examining the roles of institutions in their lives, Huang says, a concept depicted in the show and video game, and a common theme of post-apocalyptic stories in general. English Professor Betsy Huang “I think that ‘The Last of Us’ in the current moment is reminding us of the frailty of all of our institutions, whether it’s our government or educational institutions,” she says. “One can imagine that if all of these institutions disappeared, we’d want them back because we’d all of a sudden realize it is difficult to live without a lot of them.” What worries Huang, however, is that the show could encourage a sense of radical individualism in its viewers. One interpretation of the story could be to save the one person you can and “screw everybody else,” she says. To Huang, “The Last of Us” is a familiar post-apocalyptic tale, with similarities to Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower” and other road narratives, and the show has echoes of “The Walking Dead.” What drives people’s interest in works of science fiction evolves over time, Huang says, but the main appeal is the sense of loss and hopelessness portrayed in these stories. “Post-apocalyptic stories are about loss on a mass scale — it’s about the rest of humanity or an institution or an organization or a social structure that you count on so much that it gives you a sense of purpose without you even realizing it on a conscious level.” “Everyone knows what loss means and it’s the scale of that loss that I think a lot of these works of fiction address very well,” she says. “For the most part, post-apocalyptic stories are about loss on a mass scale — it’s about the rest of humanity or an institution or an organization or a social structure that you count on so much that it gives you a sense of purpose without you even realizing it on a conscious level. “Once that is taken away,” she continues, “what remains in everything that you have counted on to carry you through the day?” field notes Sharpen your ability to read deeply, ask questions that uncover meaning, and enrich your understanding the human condition. Study English at Clark When works in this genre explore restoring social order and reestablishing institutions, the result is often repressive. “They’re almost always overreaching, almost always authoritarian, and perhaps even worse,” Huang says. “It becomes an evaluation of whose lives matter and whose lives perhaps don’t. That becomes an opportunity for interrogating what living a meaningful life means.” [embedded content] It’s a cliché, Huang says, that speculative fiction is a critique of the present and a reflection of the past. What this morbid fascination suggests, she believes, is that people don’t have a happy outlook for the future. “I think, to many of us, the future is always already dystopian, always already filled with death and destruction, always already asking us to think about sacrifices that we have to make, always already critiquing us and criticizing us for the excesses and the extravagances and perhaps the kinds of problematic, wasteful, and destructive behaviors that we engage in,” she says. Part 2. How do the games we play reflect our times? A gamer’s guide to the chaotic and the cozy When gamers describe playing “The Last of Us,” many speak about their emotional connection to the post-apocalyptic story and its lead characters Joel and Ellie. “I never played a game before with so much emotion,” one gamer writes in a review. “I cried at least four to five times through it, and it takes a lot for me to cry.” It’s a typical response to the 2013 PlayStation game, which drew much critical acclaim, winning the DICE Awards’ Game of the Year, the equivalent of a Best Picture Oscar. And it’s a reaction that Ulm, professor of practice in Clark’s Becker School of Design & Technology, has observed throughout her decades of playing and creating games. “Our experience of playing a game isn’t just about the language we use to express our feelings and our thoughts — it’s also this visceral response, because when we’re playing a game, it’s a physical interaction,” Ulm says, “It’s a chemical response, whether we’re happy or sad or scared.” Gamers first embraced “The Last of Us” because of its “really exciting world-building and the ability to embody the characters and play as Joel or Ellie, which brought about a deep connection and expression of how this reflected ourselves,” she explains. “Games provide that safe space to explore dangerous or scary topics. And often that’s going to be something about our society.” Game Design Professor Ulm Yet, once the story migrated to HBO, it became even more culturally significant because of recent real-world “pivotal events,” including a global pandemic. People are drawn to “The Last of Us” and other post-apocalyptic games because their stories feel chillingly familiar, Ulm says. “Games provide that safe space to explore dangerous or scary topics, and often that’s going to be something about our society.” In “The Last of Us,” a “zombie” fungus overtakes humans, driving them to hunt and infect others. Since the release of “Zombie, Zombie” in 1984, electronic games have tapped into the age-old stories of will-less, speechless, but physically powerful beings. Post-apocalyptic zombie games tap into some of our most deeply held fears about our humanity, forcing us to consider “what is really at our core,” according to Ulm. “What would it mean to lose control or not actually have a purpose or autonomy — in this case, a brainlessness? What does it mean to be on autopilot?” We face our existential anxieties “about whether we’re going to find something meaningful or not, or if it’s just an instinctual, brainless creature we could become.” field notes Develop the skills to prototype, test, and build imaginative new worlds as you consider human behavior through the lens of interactivity and play. Study game design at Clark There is an alternative to such fiery, chaotic games, however. “Cozy games,” she says, offer “something positive, something with a human core, and I think that’s a story worth telling as well.” With their calm, community-oriented experiences, cozy games became popular during the pandemic, when players flocked to “Animal Crossing.” Some games, like “I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival,” even combine the cozy and post-apocalyptic genres. Part 3. What is science and what is fiction? Don’t fear the fungus — but watch your step Biology professor and mycologist Javier Tabima Restrepo plays a lot of video games — before he became a parent, it was probably his biggest hobby after playing soccer — and “The Last of Us” is among them. The video game and HBO adaptation starring Pedro Pascal, who happens to be one of Tabima’s favorite actors, spins a fictional tale about the kinds of organisms Tabima researches every day. Biology Professor Javier Tabima Restrepo “From a psychological perspective, they clearly are trying to sell an idea that’s a little bit absurd,” Tabima says of the depiction of cordyceps, a genus of parasitic fungi, which, in the game and show, cause an infection that obliterates mankind. Though these kinds of parasitic fungi can infect and kill insects in real life, they don’t reanimate corpses, Tabima stresses, something fellow Clark mycologist and biology Professor David Hibbett has emphasized. The video game and show’s artistic rendition of cordyceps, while stunning, is imperfect, Tabima insists, and more closely resembles chicken of the woods, a yellow-orange edible mushroom. Cordyceps often appear as cylindrical-shaped fungi that grow off the body of insects such as ants. Tabima has collected these specimens firsthand while working with researcher Tatiana I. Sanjuan in Colombia. In a 2015 paper published in Fungal Biology, their team described five new species of the genome. The project tapped into Tabima’s passion for understanding the molecular process of differentiation between species and populations. Cordyceps, the fungus depicted in “The Last of Us,” appear as cylindrical-shaped fungi that grow off the body of ants. This carpenter ant is from the lab of Biology Professor, Kaitlyn Mathis, who studies the complex web of interactions between insects species that provide ecosystem services, like pest control, in agroecosystems. The image was created by stacking and blending 20 separate photos. What really excites Tabima is that “The Last of Us” arrives on television screens amid a blooming interest in fungi spurred by pop culture, a desire to connect with nature, a fascination with creative cooking. “It’s fantastic because the more that we can get the voice out that fungi are cool, the better,” says Tabima. Mushrooms have gone mainstream with the help of books like “Entangled Life” by biologist Merlin Sheldrake and even the little red mushroom from Nintendo’s Super Mario. They appear on people’s dinner plates much more frequently than they did a few decades ago — in 2022, mushrooms were named the ingredient of the year by the New York Times. “Fungi give us food. Fungi give plants the ability to be able to collect resources from the soil. Fungi are decomposers that allow nutrient cycling. Fungi provide us with antibiotics. Without fungi, we’ve got nothing.” As different kinds of media stoke mushroom mania, Tabima wants to ensure the public doesn’t miss out on important emerging fungal research. He researches the genus Basidiobolus, including whether it could become a more prevalent human pathogen. In his lab, students examine Basidiobolus found in the gut biome of frogs. But, with amphibian populations declining because of habitat loss, and with Basidiobolus already able to infect vertebrates, Tabima and students want to understand whether humans are at risk of being infected and whether Basidiobolus can resist antifungal treatments. Meanwhile, some experts believe the next pandemic could be fungal, Tabima notes. “That’s something that we need to be very aware of,” he says, quickly adding that the risk shouldn’t cause mycophobia. Tabima believes that the infection depicted in “The Last of Us” is unlikely to ever occur. “Mammals have existed on earth for a very long time and so have fungi,” he says. “If that interaction could have occurred, it would have by now.” field notes Gain hands-on lab experience and understand the principles that govern living organisms—and how they connect to health, environment, and society. Study biology at Clark At the end of the day, Tabima encourages viewers to enjoy “The Last of Us” at face value. “Enjoy it because the writing is superb, the story is great, the actors are perfect. Don’t fall into fear of fungi,” he says. “Fungi are much more beneficial than detrimental. Fungi give us food. Fungi give plants the ability to be able to collect resources from the soil. Fungi are decomposers that allow nutrient cycling. Fungi provide us with antibiotics. Without fungi, we’ve got nothing.” Part 4. Do you know your zombie apocalypse movies? Rolling the world’s final credits Movies have imagined the end of the world in so many ways, it’s almost impossible to keep track. Sometimes the planet’s demise arrives in the form of a virus that turns the living into the living dead. Or a nuclear war that leaves the irradiated survivors wandering a still-smoking landscape in search of any reason to keep breathing. Or an invasion of body snatchers, or cyborg terminators, or Marvel supervillain Thanos snapping his galaxy-crushing fingers. And other times it’s simply a matter of Charlton Heston dropping to his knees in the shadow of the severed Statue of Liberty and raging, “You maniacs! You blew it up! DAMN YOU!” (If only he’d listened to the apes, who’d been trying to tell him exactly that.) Hugh Manon, associate professor and chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, has a particular fondness for a good post-apocalypse movie (and, admittedly, some bad ones). “The Last of Us” premise of a lone man transports a teenage girl across a ravaged landscape strikes a familiar chord with the film scholar, who teaches George Romero’s 1968 zombie classic “Night of the Living Dead” as a foundational entry in the horror canon. “If enough zombies bite enough people, the world becomes all zombies, and the people are gone. We understand the logic that the Earth is going to reach a point where something dramatically inverts the way things are supposed to work. Something is going to subsume the human species.” zombie movie 101 Slowest runners “Night of the Living Dead,” 1968 (can be outpaced with a brisk walk) zombie Movie 101 Fastest ZoMBIES “28 Days Later,” 2002 “Train to Busan,” 2016 Dystopian movies Influence on “the Last of Us” “Night of the Living Dead,” 1968 “The Road,” 2019 [based on the Cormac McCarthy book] “Children of Men,” 2006 Apocalyptic movies, zombie-driven or otherwise, are an “essentially narcissistic” genre, Manon contends. “They sort of invert what actually happens with human beings, which is that we die and the world lives on,” he says. “In these films, the world dies and humans live on. It’s counterintuitive because post-apocalypse movies seem to be taking humans out of the picture when they actually make human beings even more central to the picture. “People today talk about how culture has taken a swing in the direction of pathological narcissism. Maybe a marker of that is the fact that apocalypse narratives are more popular today than they’ve ever been.” “The Last of Us” follows Manon’s rule of thumb for a true post-apocalypse movie: The action has to range beyond a single location, reflecting the planetary impact of the disaster. Narrower-focused films like John Carpenter’s claustrophobic masterpiece “The Thing” (1982), set at a remote Arctic outpost, feel almost pre-apocalyptic by comparison, presaging the devastation to come. field notes Build critical tools for analyzing media and visual culture, and develop your own creative voice. Major in screen studies at Clark For an apocalyptic tale that will truly make you think, Manon recommends 2018’s “Annihilation,” starring Natalie Portman as a scientist investigating a so-called “disaster zone” where an alien presence has altered everything inside the ecosystem, from the life forms to the laws of physics. “It’s really interesting philosophically, and it’s also kind of gross and scary,” he says. “It’s fantastic.” “I don’t think any scientist is denying the fact that at some point, something is going to wipe us out, whether it’s a meteor or a contagion, or if global warming gets to the point where it’s simply impossible to survive,” Manon says. “These films know that, and they want to thrill us with the fantasy that we’ll still be here. If anything, it’s a more life-engaged genre than most.” Part 5. What is the connection between nature and culture? Course examines humans’ tangled relationship with fungi Before “The Last of Us,” we might not have equated fungi with killer zombies. Instead, over thousands of years, we have looked to fungi — usually in the form of mushrooms — for food, medicine, storytelling, and spiritualism. Drawing from a carving by Charles Edenshaw in the late 1800s depicting the Haida myth of the origin of women. Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago There was The Iceman we now call Ötzi, discovered by hikers on the Austria-Italy border in 1991, who lived and died more than 5,000 years ago. Along with his copper axe, knife, arrows, and baskets, Ötzi carried two species of wood-decaying mushrooms. And there was Fungus Man, accompanied by the trickster Raven, key characters in the Haida people’s creation story in the Pacific Northwest. They are just two of the many examples that students encounter in Plants, People, and Fungi, an advanced course focused on humans’ age-old relationships with flora and funga. New to Clark this spring, the class is taught by mycologist David Hibbett, the Andrea B. and Peter D. Klein ’64 Distinguished Professor of Biology, and ethnobotanist Morgan Ruelle, associate professor in the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice. “Our cultures and ways of knowing are really shaped by plants and how we use them for food, for health, for energy. There’s this mutual benefit in all these relationships that emerges strongly as we go through the course.” David Hibbett, Andrea B. and Peter D. Klein ’64 Distinguished Professor of Biology “I’m having a tremendous amount of fun teaching the course,” says Hibbett, who joined Clark in 1999 and is now a world-renowned expert on the evolutionary biology of mushroom-forming fungi. “It’s plants and fungi. It’s basic botany and mycology. And it’s ethnobotany and ethnomycology. So it’s very interdisciplinary.” Ruelle brings expertise on how Indigenous and other place-based ecological knowledge systems can be combined with scientific research to develop sustainable solutions. “We can approach the study of human-plant-fungal relations from many different disciplinary perspectives, and I think that David and I are demonstrating that in each class,” says Ruelle, who met Hibbett after joining Clark in 2018. Morgan Ruelle, associate professor in the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice Hibbett dives into the biochemical properties of plants and fungi, and their scientific and evolutionary history. An ongoing theme in the course has been humans’ “give and take” with plants and fungi, Ruelle says.“We often describe it as co-evolutionary. It’s not only that we domesticate plants, but Michael Pollan has written that the plants also domesticate us,” he says. “We shape the plants genetically so that they better serve our needs, and sometimes they become dependent on us because we provide protection and promote their reproduction. On the other hand, our cultures and ways of knowing are really shaped by plants and how we use them for food, for health, for energy. There’s this mutual benefit in all these relationships that emerges strongly as we go through the course.” field notes Gain a deep, interdisciplinary perspective of the environmental challenges we face. Study climate, environment, and society at Clark Yet, Indigenous knowledge of plants and fungi also has been exploited, according to Hibbett. “Taxonomy is inextricably connected to the history of colonization because so much of what we know about plants, fungi, and animals outside of North America and Western Europe really blossomed during the 19th century,” he explains, “when you had naturalists going around the world collecting the riches of the planet and bringing them back to museums and botanical gardens and zoos in Europe, principally, and then later in North America.” Recommended Reading More on the course, Plants, People, and Fungi Michael Pollan, “Botany of Desire: A Plant’s-Eye View of the World” Merlin Sheldrake, “Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures” Robin Wall Kimmerer, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants” Story: Melissa Hanson, Jim Keogh, Meredith KingPhotos: Steven KingVideo: Beth Prendergast

This new survival title will have players lead a small band of survivors in a Texan town overrun with zombies. Players will be kept on their toes during the game’s early access phase, with content updates planned for every four to six weeks. A new trailer can be seen below showing what to expect in this once welcoming town… Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days takes players to the town of Walton in 1980’s Texas. The temperature is high, but so is the amount of zombies roaming the streets looking for their next meal. It will be up to players to lead their group of desperate survivors and find a way out to safety. To ensure the survival for the group, players will have to upgrade their shelter, seek out allies and sneak past the zombie hordes to search for food, weapons and other useful equipment. Not all those who have survived the collapse of society are willing to negotiate, cooperate or share, so having to fight the living is almost as likely as having to fight the undead. Players will be able to make decisions of what to do, whether it be to fight an enemy or retreat, where to investigate and what escape plans to follow. But in a world of chaos, where dynamic events can lead to either catastrophe or salvation, the only chance for survival is by cautious planning, careful explorations and accepting the consequences. As mentioned above, the early access phase will contain frequent content updates, the first of these can be expected to arrive in May. This first update will feature zombified survivors, door barging, a new shelter option and more. [embedded content][embedded content] Players can dive into the horror of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days on Steam now.
- [This Horror Movie Was Almost Impossible to Watch for Years, And Now It's Streaming](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/this-horror-movie-was-almost-impossible-to-watch-for-years-and-now-its-streaming/) - One of the most chilling and unique horror films of the 2000s has been incredibly difficult to track down for the better part of two decades. The Poughkeepsie Tapes, from director John Erick Dowdle, is a pseudo-documentary horror film that weaves together a terrifying serial killer story using interviews and footage from his victims. The film has a lot of fans in the horror community, but has had trouble actually finding a bigger audience since its debut in 2007. Fortunately, that changed this month. Videos by ComicBook.com After a festival debut in 2007, The Poughkeepsie Tapes was supposed to have a wide theatrical release in February 2008, but was mysteriously pulled from the release schedule. Six years later, in 2014, the film was made available on-demand through DirecTV, only to be pulled down shortly after its release. Scream Factory released it as a Blu-ray and DVD in 2017, and that has been the only consistent way to access the film. In what has been a massive surprise to horror fans, The Poughkeepsie Tapes popped up on Prime Video this month. You can now stream the usually hard-to-find horror film with an Amazon Prime subscription, making it the most accessible the movie has ever been. Of course, there’s no telling how long this streaming stint with will last, given that streaming is inherently unpredictable in nature. For all we know, The Poughkeepsie Tapes could be available on Prime Video for a month or two before disappearing again. If this is a movie you love, or simply want to have it on hand to show friends, it’s worth owning as part of your personal collection. After all, digital movies can be scrubbed without warning, but physical media is yours forever. You can purchase your own copy of The Poughkeepsie Tapes here.

- [10 Moments In Horror Where Actors Weren't Acting - WhatCulture.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/10-moments-in-horror-where-actors-werent-acting-whatculture-com/) - Although found-footage horror has been popular since The Blair Witch Project, it's hard to think any film in the genre that pulled it off better than REC.The Spanish zombie chiller follows a television reporter called Angela (Manuela Velasco) who documents a firefighting team while they rescue an apartment resident. After they arrive, the building is sealed by the government to stop the spread of a dangerous infection. To Angela's horror, the infection turns the residents into mindless creatures, compelling them to attack and bite anyone they see.Even though filmmakers always pine for realism, that goes double for found-footage, especially since REC is depicted as a legitimate news story that's unfolding before our eyes. Palpable performances aren't just important but necessary to ensure the film remains immersive.With this in mind, few of the actors were told about the firefighter plummeting to his death from the staircase, which occurs in the first 20 minutes or so.[embedded content]Although this jump-scare is effective in its own right, it's more impressive when you learn the actors didn't know what was going to happen and yet, still managed to stay in character.
- ['Chicken Jockey!' What to Know About the 'Minecraft' Catchphrase - The New York Times](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/chicken-jockey-what-to-know-about-the-minecraft-catchphrase-the-new-york-times/) - When Jack Black yells that in “A Minecraft Movie,” young audiences respond raucously. The director approves, but some theaters don’t. Here’s what to know.For most, “chicken jockey” seems like a random pair of words, almost poetic in how nonsensical they sound together. But the phrase is creating absolute pandemonium at showings of “A Minecraft Movie,” turning the film into a viral phenomenon in addition to a box office smash.Essentially, the movie, based on the popular video game, has quickly become something akin to a new generation’s “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” In videos posted on social media, the mayhem begins when one star, Jack Black, exuberantly proclaims, “Chicken jockey!” to announce the appearance of that creature from the video game. Young audience members go nuts, jumping up and down, screaming, even throwing popcorn at the screen in some cases.Warner Bros. sees the reaction as “a testament to the game’s loyal fan base,” as the marketing executive vice president Dana Nussbaum put it in a statement. The film’s director, Jared Hess, approves of the trend.“It’s way too funny,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s been a total blast. I’m just laughing my brains out every time someone sends me a new video.”But why exactly is this happening? Let’s unpack it as best we can.What is a chicken jockey?It’s a baby zombie that rides a chicken. (Don’t worry. Nothing about this makes any logical sense. Just go with it.) Encountering a chicken jockey during gameplay is pretty rare, but Hess was intent on filling the movie with his favorite characters from the vast Minecraft universe.“It’s not something you see all the time, but I think it’s adorable, and ridiculous and can murder you, and that’s something that makes it special,” Hess said. @matthewvietzke Minecraft movie was peak cinema #chickenjockey #minecraftmovie ♬ original sound - Matthew We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

- [Aotearoa earns 'zombie resilient' title with One NZ's satellite service - NZ Herald](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/aotearoa-earns-zombie-resilient-title-with-one-nzs-satellite-service-nz-herald/) - “Just being surrounded by water is a huge advantage, whether it be the Spanish flu of 1919 or even Covid 19. If you don’t let people in your country, you’re not going to catch whatever disease it is. And essentially zombies are a virus with legs and teeth.”But it’s not just our geography. In a global first, the American-based research society (whose members include scientists, authors and academics) has awarded a “zombie resilience” endorsement to a New Zealand telecommunications company.One NZ received the “most zombie resilient network” accolade for the satellite service it rolled out late last year in partnership with Starlink Direct to Mobile (engineered by Elon Musk’s SpaceX).The service allows customers with an eligible phone, plan and direct line of sight to the sky, to send and receive texts – even when traditional cell-tower coverage is unavailable.AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.One NZ has described the endorsement as “bizarre” but chief executive Jason Paris also said it underscored the importance of telecommunications in a crisis.Efforts to establish a satellite network here were elevated after Cyclone Gabrielle, the country’s deadliest weather event in 55 years.“I heard how scary it was not being able to tell anyone you needed help or to know that the people you cared about were safe.”Paris said the ultimate aim was to enable emergency messages to be sent to any eligible phone, regardless of the mobile network provider.And he said the technology had applications beyond disasters, citing the agriculture, transportation and conservation sectors among those with workers “in the middle of nowhere”.Formed in 2007, the Zombie Research Society describes itself as “the ultimate authority on the undead”. Members have authored multiple scientific papers and had books published by the likes of Princeton University Press.According to its founder, zombie research is useful for “understanding catastrophic and survival situations – it has a lot of real world applications. “It’s a fun topic that gets people interested. There is a lot of meat in there. Pun intended.”Currently based in North Carolina, Mogk says that when he lived in Los Angeles he did not have an earthquake preparedness kit.“But I do have a zombie preparedness kit and it works great for earthquakes! So, that’s where this idea of endorsements started.”AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.Matt Mogk, founder of the United States based Zombie Research Society, which has just endorsed local telecommunications company One NZ as the "most zombie resilient network". The society had previously looked at an electric fence from South Africa and a survival kit from the United Kingdom, but ultimately settled on One NZ Satellite - a service it described as a “game changer”.“Due to its remote operation from space, rather than a terrestrial network of cell towers on the ground, it has more capacity to withstand damage and maintain connection,” Mogk said in the society’s official critical analysis.“It’s like doom and gloom around every corner,” he told the NZ Herald. “The first thing you need to do, whether it’s for peace of mind or for actual survival, is to be able to communicate... you need to have information to be able to plan properly.”Rotorua-born actor Cliff Curtis, who starred in the television zombie phenomena, Fear The Walking Dead, presented the endorsement on behalf of the Zombie Research society.Cliff Curtis (left) who starred in Fear The Walking Dead, presented One NZ chief executive Jason Paris with the Zombie Research Society's endorsement for "most zombie resilient network".“A zombie apocalypse can be disruptive,” says Curtis, in a video released via social media. AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.“After years of trying to fight them on TV, I would know... trust me, when the dead start walking, you want a lifeline.”Also, possibly, a cricket bat.Mogk (a regular panellist on the long-running live television show Talking Dead) says the question he most frequently fields is how to kill a zombie.“Obviously we’re not dealing with zombies at the front door, but if you look at popular culture and the way the zombie zeitgeist has developed, then the best way to destroy a zombie is to destroy the brain.“I wouldn’t use firearms, because they’re very loud. You don’t want to be drawing attention to yourself. So some blunt object. Massive blunt force trauma to the head . . . I actually think that in Shaun of the Dead, when they use a cricket bat, that was a really good idea.”He would not take tips from Kiwi director Peter Jackson’s comedy splatter movie Braindead (in which zombies are killed by fire, lawnmower and blender).AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.“That movie is not designed to be realistic. I love it, but I would not take any advice from it. That movie is pure entertainment!”A scene from Peter Jackson's zombie comedy Braindead. New Zealand (population 5.2m) had previously only missed out on making the official Top 10 list of countries to survive a zombie outbreak because the society had limited its selection to countries with populations of greater than five million.“We haven’t really been tracking population increases,” Mogk said. “I will talk to the board and see what we can do.”Matt Mogk, Zombie Research Society founder on:Killing zombies: “The last thing you want to do is run around and start chopping zombies’ heads off. You know, if there was a trash bag full of toxic goo that, if you got a single drop on you, would turn you into a raving maniac, why would you ever start banging on that bag or cutting it open?”AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.Zombie diets: “Everybody will tell you zombies eat brains. One of our scientists geeked out on this and did a study on the bite compression force of hundreds of different animals . . . humans cannot bite very hard compared to many other animals and we cannot get our mouths open wide enough to bite on anything larger than an apple. So, zombies may prefer brains, but unless they’re using tools to somehow open your head, there’s no way they’re biting through your skull.”Zombie respect: “The Walking Dead came around and zombies really hit their heyday . . . they were so disrespected before that. Especially before the internet, you’d have one kid in Iowa who loves zombies and one kid in South London or Sydney – now you have these giant zombie walks in different cities and I’m just really happy about the respect they’re getting because, you know, it’s fun – and there are real world applications.”What to do if someone you know becomes a zombie: “You see this in popular culture. Someone’s husband has turned into a zombie and she’s like ‘no, we have to keep Bert alive’ and she locks him in the bedroom... his eyes are red, he’s drooling blood and actively trying to eat you. Can we accept that’s maybe not Bert?”Could sheep turn into zombies? “Many diseases only affect one species. Dogs can’t get the flu, for instance. Australia has got many, many deadly animals right? Would you rather have a deadly spider or scorpion as a zombie, or a sheep? I would definitely rather have a sheep. Now, would I eat that sheep? No, I would not.”Entry-level zombie movie recommendation: “I used to say Night of the Living Dead, because it’s the original. I remember watching it on honeymoon with my wife 22 years ago. We actually went to New Zealand and we were in Auckland, watching it on my computer... she felt it was boring. My wife always says, in a zombie outbreak, she wouldn’t want to live if there weren’t hot showers and happy hours for a long time, and by a long time, she means a month.”Waiting it out in New Zealand: “As long as you can keep the sheep from biting your knee.”AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.Kim Knight joined the New Zealand Herald in 2016 and is an award-winning journalist on its lifestyle desk.
- [With 'Minecraft' chicken jockey trend, movie behavior hits new low - USA Today](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/with-minecraft-chicken-jockey-trend-movie-behavior-hits-new-low-usa-today/) - Show Caption Hide Caption 'Chicken jockey!' Viral trend causes chaos at 'Minecraft' screeningsIn the U.S. and U.K., moviegoers are going wild when Jack Black shouts, "Chicken jockey!" during "A Minecraft Movie."Sure, we are no spring chickens, but the latest bout of bad theater etiquette is rightfully ruffling feathers.Unruly youngsters are flocking to cinemas to see Jack Black’s “A Minecraft Movie,” a lightly unhinged video-game adaptation teeming with porcine witches, flame-throwing skeletons and baby monsters riding poultry. The PG-rated comedy adventure squawked to a staggering $163 million last weekend, the highest opening ever for a video-game film.But “Minecraft” mania has been fueled by a series of disruptive TikTok trends, with audience members filming themselves as they clap, cheer, scream, jump on seats, and throw popcorn at the screen. One particular scene has become an instant meme, as Black proclaims, “Chicken jockey!” while a pint-sized zombie mounts a bird inside a boxing ring. Adolescent moviegoers frequently shout along with that and other popular lines, including “I am Steve!”Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inboxPolice have been called to 'A Minecraft Movie,' after complaints of vandalism and live chickensFootage has circulated on social media of police being called to attend to rowdy filmgoers, some of whom have started bringing live chickens to the movie with them. Multiple U.K. theater chains have issued warnings about kicking out disorderly patrons, while one theater in Washington Township, New Jersey, has announced a ban on unaccompanied minors seeing the blockbuster without a parent or guardian."Large groups of unsupervised boys engaged in completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism," the Township Theatre management team wrote in a Facebook post. "If your son was at Township Theatre last night, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with him about his behavior."For theater owners, the “Minecraft” phenomenon is a double-edged sword. On one hand, the film has single-handedly reignited a sluggish box-office year, with new movies including “Snow White,” “Mickey 17” and “Captain America: Brave New World” all vastly underperforming in recent months. The success of “Minecraft” has been driven almost entirely by the hard-to-reach young adult demographic, many of whom grew up with the 2011 video game. Eighteen to 24-year-olds accounted for 43% of the film’s audience, followed by 13 to 17-year-olds at 35%, according to PostTrak exit polls.Jennifer Grygiel, an associate professor of communications at Syracuse University, spoke to NPR earlier this week about why “Minecraft” has resonated so strongly with Gen Z moviegoers in particular, saying that it’s an opportunity for them to congregate and connect offline."Maybe some of it is there just isn't enough that's bringing them together in the real world,” Grygiel told NPR. “They do want to be analog. They do want to find fun. They do want some entertainment in the terrestrial space."Phone use in theaters has become increasingly common after 'Barbenheimer'But at some point, theater owners will need to draw a line in the sand on where they come down on appropriate theater behavior. Although cineplexes have long struggled with people talking and texting during movies, audience phone use reached a fever pitch in 2023, thanks to the social media-propelled double feature of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” and Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” concert film, as young patrons filmed themselves singing and dancing along to her songs.The worrying trend has only become even more prevalent this past year, with audiences filming much-discussed moments from “Wicked,” “Babygirl,” “Nosferatu” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” on opening weekend and sharing clips to social media.Interactive screenings are not out of the norm. (After all, who hasn't enjoyed a rambunctious showing of "The Room" or "The Rocky Horror Picture Show?") But recent incidents continue to inspire “debates about what level of participation with other audience members, or on the phone, is appropriate without being distracting to others,” says Shawn Robbins, founder and owner of Box Office Theory, a movie industry analysis site.“Should there be screenings specifically made available and eventized as interactive events?” Robbins asks. “It's an ongoing discussion in the industry as younger generations have different consumer expectations in a media-dominated world than their elder counterparts.”Major chains such as AMC offer movie fans the chance to rent out theaters for a steep price, allowing them to belt their hearts out to “Wicked” as loudly as they please. Alamo Drafthouse, meanwhile, will sometimes host “rowdy” screenings of recent cult classics including “Cats” and “Fifty Shades Freed,” where theatergoers are free to hoot and holler throughout.But for the time being, it seems unlikely that theater owners will take any meaningful action against your average rude patron. So please, folks, we politely beg: Be respectful, turn off your phones and leave the chicken at home.
- [Marvel Star's New Horror Movie Debuts With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/marvel-stars-new-horror-movie-debuts-with-perfect-rotten-tomatoes-score/) - Director Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the new horror film starring Michael B. Jordan, is one of the more intriguing releases of the spring, and now it’s shaping up to be one of the most acclaimed. Ahead of the movie’s release on April 18th, the first wave of reviews has been published, and critics have universal praise for it. As of this writing, 34 reviews have been submitted on Rotten Tomatoes, and Sinners boasts a very impressive 100% score on the aggregate. A critics consensus hasn’t been revealed just yet, but a scan over the reviews indicate Coogler’s strong storytelling and craftsmanship and Michael B. Jordan’s captivating performance as twin brothers are among the movie’s highlights. Videos by ComicBook.com Throughout his career, Coogler has always earned widespread acclaim. All of his previous directorial efforts are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes: Fruitvale Station (94%), Creed (95%), Black Panther (95%), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (84%). Jordan headlines Sinners as Smoke and Stack, two siblings who return to their hometown and deal with the arrival of sinister forces. The cast also includes the likes of Hailee Steinfeld and Jack O’Connell. Early box office projections for Sinners have indicated the film should be a draw, with a $40+ million opening weekend estimated. [RELATED – Christopher Nolan Gave Ryan Coogler Advice Before Making Sinners] Coogler has discussed how Sinners is a personal project for him, as it takes inspiration from his family’s history in Mississippi. When explaining why he delayed Marvel’s Black Panther 3 to make Sinners, he said it was important to do Sinners now after realizing his previous works had been “in the service of stories that were outside myself.” The Sinners Rotten Tomatoes score isn’t going to stay perfect forever; there are still several reviews to be published between now and the film’s release, and some of them will likely skew negative (Coogler’s earlier movies received somewhere between 212-527 reviews). Still, Sinners is obviously off to a terrific start and it’s probably only a matter of time before it’s the latest Coogler film to become Certified Fresh. The enthusiastic word of mouth should be a boon for Sinner‘s box office prospects, which is a great sign for Warner Bros. as the studio looks to rebound from some notable pre-Minecraft Movie bombs. Sinners will play in IMAX and sounds like it’s a must-see on the big screen. If its box office performance is as successful as the critical response, Coogler will have even more clout to get future original projects off the ground, which is very exciting. If the next batch of Sinners reviews are as exuberant as this first crop, it will be interesting to see if the film could find itself in the awards race later this year. The Academy has a tendency to ignore horror films and the April release date puts Sinners at a bit of a disadvantage, but its blending of poignant social commentary and blockbuster genre entertainment could prove to be a combination too good to deny. Coogler’s films have received traction on the Oscar circuit before, and while there’s still a long way to go in 2025, Sinners seems like it will go down as one of the year’s best.

- [Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Preview - Side Scrolling Zombie Survival | TechRaptor](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/into-the-dead-our-darkest-days-preview-side-scrolling-zombie-survival-techraptor/) - Whether you want to slay zombies or rescue survivors, you'll find opportunities for both in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days by PikPok. A spinoff of Into the Dead, a mobile action game, it's the first franchise entry to use sidescrolling mechanics. As a fan of survival games, I was interested in how this would differ from other recent genre titles. Just from the images, I was digging the retro late 70's-early 80's vibe the art really brings forth. Regardless of not having played either of the previous franchise games, I decided to try out Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Preview - Stranger Things Meets Late Night With the Devil Vibes Right off the bat, the art direction for the title is on the nose for a late 1970's city. From the color palette used in text, to the style of clothing survivors wear, to the decor of different locations, everything oozes that end of the decade feeling. Every home has a corded telephone, TV's come with bunny ear antennas, the arcades are filled with retro machines, and the cars are long and boxy. You get to pick two survivors to start with, each with their pros and cons. I personally love Penny and Daphne. Penny is an amazingly stealthy survivor. When armed with a blade, she can quickly take out a zombie without alerting others to her presence. Daphne is a multitasker built for shelter management. Able to get increased output from cooking and making medical items, her lessened damage crowns her as a shelter mother. Scavenging is where all the action in the game takes place. You can send a max of three survivors out per phase, or day and night. Locations can be explored in a number of ways. You can go through the front door, climb a pipe to the roof, or jump to an overhang and climb through a window. Zombies can be stealthily killed from behind, but if you're seen, they can let out a horrible wail that alerts all nearby enemies to your presence. This can be negated by whapping the zombie before it unleashes its screeching howl. The further towards escape you get the more zombies you'll encounter in a location. You'll have had the ability to upgrade your shelter units, though, allowing you to possibly arm yourself with guns or more durable weapons. Stealth is still important here, as you can quickly get swarmed with upwards of five zombies at a time. Taking hits from them can quickly render your survivor dead. The resources they gathered are left with the body, and all your survivors in the shelter get hit with a Grief state. States in the game affect how characters interact with each other, what they need when at the shelter, and if they'll just up and leave your group. Grief can lead to the last result if left to turn into depression and hopelessness. This means you'll have to bench your best scavenger sometimes or risk the consequences. A survivor's death also impacts your strategy moving forward. Are you willing to risk another survivor to get the items that were collected? I often sent someone to collect the backpack of a fallen survivor, especially if they had a gun. Guns are rare to find, so keeping your hands on them when you get them can mean the difference between successfully escaping or failing. I found myself really enjoying trying to fully clear a location and find all the survivors currently available. There are hidden locations only found by talking to some survivors or finding secret notes. These are often filled with rare loot, including weapons and base materials. Sometimes, there are human enemies guarding these areas, adding a bit of spice to your zombie-killing routine. There are ways to do no-kill runs at certain locations, which really challenges stealth and escaping alive. You can also kill every zombie you come across, managing the sound various weapons make as well as the lack of weapons you may run into by not paying attention to weapon durability. Depending on your playstyle, you can have a different experience from others while clearing locations. The zombie sounds are eerie, even more so when you wear headphones and can hear all their movements. Some zombies cry or hum, and I've never heard anything as creepy. The first time I heard a zombie scream, the hairs on my neck stood on end. The audio is extremely important and highlights all aspects of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Downfall One of the major issues I take with the title is the lack of variety. There are plenty of locations you can scavenge, different weapons to use, and survivors with various traits to rescue. The main problem is the layout of the zombies themselves. Whenever you enter a place for the first time, the enemies are always in the same room, use the same movement patterns, and react the same way to loud sounds. If you end up replaying a part of the game multiple times, like the beginning, those areas can quickly become boring to explore. There's less challenge when you can memorize where the zombies are and move around them or stealth kill them without any worry for your survivor. This applies to the Escape Plans, as well. Currently, there are two plans you can work towards to make it out of the city. The plans don't change. Their leads are located in the same places, the needed items are always found in the same area when scavenging, and the designated locations to progress the plan are the same. Again, if you play through multiple times, this can make the title more boring than intended. Additionally, there are still a number of bugs that impact gameplay. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is in Early Access, so bugs are expected. Some that I've encountered include game crashes, softlocks, zombies attacking through doors, zombies moving through objects, and zombies not spawning correctly. The dev team has said they are working on them. The number of times I've had to restart due to softlocks and crashes is far higher than it should be. Not only that, but there were different causes of the softlock, and they all resulted in an endless loading screen when returning to the shelter. Since returning to the shelter is when the game saves, this caused me to have to restart a new game multiple times. Depending on where you're at, this could be upwards of 10 hours invested in a save just gone. Even though Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days has plenty of pros, the progression-ending bugs instantly kill any motivation to continue playing. Thankfully, the game is in Early Access, meaning many of these issues are going to be addressed as time goes on. Development is already noted on the EA Roadmap for "curveballs", or world events that will affect your shelter in various ways. Further down the pipeline are additional survivors, NPC traders, an expanded map, more escape plans, and more zombie behaviors. These will certainly change how the game plays and, hopefully, keep it fresh and exciting each time you start a new game. PikPok is a leading game studio in New Zealand, so I have faith the development team will be able to remedy the different causes for crashes and softlocks, as well as the other bugs present in the title, before it fully launches. The core mechanics and the story of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is solid. Flushing it out with more variety or a more challenging mode will only make it a stronger contender in the survival genre. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days was previewed over 27 hours with a code provided by PikPok. All screenshots were taken during the course of the preview.

If you complete 50 rounds on any map, you can snag a free pack. According to Sportskeeda, this glitch gives you six Gobblegums, including an ultra-rare one. It’s a bit cheeky, though, and might not stick around long. Glitches like this tend to get patched fast. If you’re up for it, try it in a private match with friends to make those 50 rounds less of a slog. Just know it’s not an official method, so use it while it lasts. Surviving Cranked Mode: A Legit Challenge Starting April 10, 2025, there’s a legitimate way to earn free packs by surviving 50 rounds in Cranked mode. IGN confirms this comes straight from the Season 3 roadmap. Cranked mode is wild; you’ve got to keep killing zombies to stop a timer from running out. It’s a challenge, but pulling off 50 rounds gets you a Gobblegum pack, and it’s a great way to flex your skills. Prestige System Rewards: Grind for Goodies Another reliable option is tied to the Prestige system. Reach level 20 in any Prestige, and you’ll get a pack with three to five Gobblegums. The higher your Prestige, the better the rewards. GameRant explains that Prestiging means hitting level 55 and resetting your rank for bonuses. It takes effort, but it’s worth it for the Gobblegums and extra perks. Exfiltrating for Whimsical Gobblegums: Easy Wins For something easier, try exfiltrating after round 15. This means leaving the map via helicopter or whatever escape method the game offers. Do it right, and you can earn one to three Whimsical Gobblegums, less powerful, but still free. GameRant covers this one too, and it’s perfect if you’re not into the high-round grind. Tips to Maximize Your Chances Play Regularly for Hidden Rewards You can pick up free packs just by playing regularly. The game sometimes drops bonuses for consistent players, so keep jumping into matches to see what you can snag. Watch for In-Game Events Joining in-game events is another smart move. Keep tabs on updates from Treyarch’s X account for event details. Sometimes, they toss out challenges or tasks that reward you with Gobblegums just for showing up. Why It’s Worth the Effort Why bother with all this? Gobblegums like “Perkaholic”, which hands you every perk on the map, can save your skin in a pinch. Getting them for free means more chances to experiment and dominate. So, whether it’s a glitch, Cranked mode, or grinding Prestige, there’s a method here for you. Get out there and start stacking those Gobblegum packs! For more of the latest gaming news, visit Total Apex Gaming.

With the release of Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies, the weapon finally makes its long-awaited return to the mode and comes with several upgrade variants. Players will want to know how to get this powerful weapon, so allow me to help! This guide will show players how to get the Ray Gun Mark II on Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. How to Get the Ray Gun Mark II on Shattered Veil The Ray Gun Mark II can be obtained by pure chance by relying on the Mystery Box, but there is a way to get a guaranteed Wonder Weapon. You will first need to make your way under the map to find the Pack-a-Punch Machine in the Mainframe Chamber. Starting on Round 10, there is a chance that a unique Zombie named the Lab Technician will spawn in the Mainframe Chamber. This Zombie will have purple eyes and will drop the Floppy Disk item when killed. Now that you have the Disk, head back up into the mansion and go to the Easter Foyer. Go into the room south of the Stamin-Up Perk Machine. You will find a computer with a white screen next to a printer. When you interact with the computer, the screen will turn red and the printer will start up. A wave of vermin will spawn while you wait for the page to finish printing. Once the page is fully printed, you can interact with the page and a message from Blanchard will pop up. It will reference a protocol that will change each game of Shattered Veil. The code will be CRAB, YETI, or WORM. Go to the Nursery on the west side of the mansion and you will find a chalkboard to the right of the PhD Flopper Perk Machine. This chalkboard has letters separated into 6 different groupings. You need to find the letters from the name of the protocol shown on the page and then count how many letters are in its grouping. For example, the code I got in the images below was WORM. The “W” was found in the top right group, which had 5 letters. This means the first number for the code is 5. Going through the rest of the word, we find the code for this game is 5861. You will use this code to open a cell found underground. Go through the Mainframe Chamber and into the service tunnel to find a cell with an HVT Doppleghast imprisoned inside. To the right of the door is a number pad that you need to enter the translated code into. This will open the cell and release the Doppleghast. Defeat the Doppleghast and it will drop the Severed Arm item. You will need to unlock a case containing the Ray Gun Mark II. With the arm acquired, go to the Supply Depot near the underground teleporter. There is a door here that leads into the Armory. There is a glass case in the Armory that has the Mark II locked inside. Use the Severed Arm on the scanner to open the case and gain access to the Mark II. Only one player in a game can get this free Ray Gun Mark II. From here, you can now unlock the other variants of the Mark II. Ray Gun Mark II-P Ray Gun Mark II-R Ray Gun Mark II-W You now know how to get a free Ray Gun Mark II every game of Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Stay tuned to Gameranx for more news, updates, and guides for Black Ops 6 as well as other great games in the future.
- [Black Ops 6 Zombies: All Empty Canister Locations - Gameranx](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/black-ops-6-zombies-all-empty-canister-locations-gameranx/) - Black Ops 6 Zombies not only reintroduces the beloved Ray Gun Mark II with the release of Shattered Veil but also several all-new variants that give the weapon new properties and abilities. Each of these upgrades requires players to complete a quest to unlock them with each of these steps involving a special item known as an Empty Canister. These glass vials can be found around the map but can be a massive roadblock to players that don’t know how or where to find these canisters. Luckily, I can help anyone struggling with getting these items! This guide will show players where to find all Empty Canister locations on Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. All Empty Canister Locations on Shattered Veil You can find a total of 3 empty canisters. Each one requires some Equipment or a specific weapon to acquire. This breakdown will show you where to find the canisters, as well as some spawn locations for the Equipment needed to get them. Each canister can be used for any Mark II upgrade quest. Empty Canister #1 One of the canisters can only be acquired by using an LT-53 Kazimir Tactical grenade. You can hope to get lucky and wait for a Zombie to drop one, or you can craft one at a Crafting Table for 1.500 Salvage. There is a free Kazimir you can use by going down to the underground Service Tunnel. In the middle part of the tunnel, next to a crashed truck, is a corpse holding a Kazimir. When you get a Kazimir, go to the Rear Patio and look for a window under the Double Tap Root Beer Perk Machine. You can see the Empty Canister sitting on a barrel in the window. Throw the Kazimir in front of the window to suck up the Canister. When the Kazimir ends, the Canister will drop to the ground. Empty Canister #2 The next Canister requires the use of at least 2 Combat Axes. Like the Kazimir, you can wait for a Zombie to drop one but there are 3 Axes that can be picked up around the map. One Combat Axe is in the Garden Pond spawn room on a log in the west end of the area. Another Axe is found under the bed in the Nursery. The last Axe is on a table to the right of the Pack-a-Punch machine in Security Overlook. Now that you have 2 Combat Axes, go to the Mainframe Chamber and look to the left of the elevator. You will see a tube with a dead body inside and the Empty Canister as well. To the left of this tube is a letter written on the wall. This will either be an A or a B and will change every game you play. Go through the Mainframe Chamber hallway and into the Service Tunnel. Look to the left of the cell with the Doppleghast. Outside the map, you will see a pipe with a few valves along it. The leftmost valve will have gas leaking out of it. You will need to direct this gas through the pipe with the letter next to the tube. You do this by throwing a Combat Axe at the middle valve and then at the valve next to the letter that was next to the tube. Gas will then come out of the pipes and you will get a voiceline from S.A.M.. Return to the tube in the Mainframe Chamber and you will see it has filled with gas. Use any weapon that does explosive damage to destroy the tube. This will release the Canister and allow you to pick it up. Empty Canister #3 The last Canister can only be acquired after getting a Ray Gun Mark II. This can be gotten from the Mystery Box or by completing an Easter Egg quest to get one for free. You can check out Gameranx’s full guide on how to unlock a free Ray Gun Mark II for a more in-depth explanation of the quest, but here is a quick breakdown: Kill the Lab Technician in the Mainframe Chamber. This Zombie will start spawning on Round 10. Pick up the Floppy Disk. Use the disk on the computer in the East Foyer to print out a protocol name. Decipher the protocol with the letters on the chalkboard in the Nursery to get a number code. Enter the code into the number pad next to the cell holding the HVT Doppleghast in the Service Tunnel. Defeat the Doppleghast and pick up the Severed Arm it drops. Open the glass case in the Armory found in the Supply Depot to unlock the Ray Gun Mark II. With the Mark II, you will now need to track down Blue Crystals found around the map. These Crystals will spawn in the same locations every game and must be shot with the Mark II to break them. The first one is found on the roof in the southwest corner of the Service Tunnel. Another is round on the roof of the Conservatory. Another is on the wall in the East Foyer in the room south of the Stamin-Up Perk Machine. The Last one is on the wall outside the Nursery to the south of the PhD Flopper Perk Machine. Each of the crystals will drop loot when they are destroyed, with one of them giving you the Empty Canister. The crystal that the Canister is found in will be different every game. You can now find all of the Empty Canister locations on Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Stay tuned to Gameranx for more news, updates, and guides for Black Ops 6 as well as other great games in the future.

- [One of the most wanted survival games on Steam, Into The Dead is finally here](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/one-of-the-most-wanted-survival-games-on-steam-into-the-dead-is-finally-here/) - They’re slow, they’re stupid, and – provided you have the right weapon – they’re easy to kill. But what makes zombies frightening is their sheer numbers. It’s the horde, the relentless, unresting, amorphous horde. One of the most wishlisted survival games on all of Steam, Into The Dead is built around this specific type of terror. You can stockpile supplies, fashion weapons, and recruit new survivors, but the writhing ocean of zombies is always biting at your heels. If you’re a big Project Zomboid fan, or you’re eager for State of Decay 3 and Dying Light The Beast, Into The Dead is finally here. It’s 1980, the town of Walton, Texas. Hot, tranquil, and picturesque, your homely little suburb is unfortunately under siege from ravenous ghouls, and if you want to stay alive, you need to scavenge for food, gather an arsenal of weapons, and safeguard both your physical and mental wellbeing. Played from a side-on perspective, Into The Dead is seemingly inspired by 11 bit’s beloved This War of Mine. By day, you stay indoors and reinforce your defenses. Other survivors may arrive and you can choose to admit them to your base or not. By night, however, you have to go out onto the streets of Walton and search for provisions. But the survival game has a twist. No matter how well barricaded or how thoroughly supplied, eventually your base will be attacked by the zombie horde. You can’t get too comfortable – you have to keep moving. So, as well as rounding up resources, when you go out at night, you also need to scout for a potential new safehouse. It’s all about staying one twisted, rotting foot in front of the undead. You can’t just bed in and build up. The pressure is always on. One of the most popular games during Steam Next Fest (the demo was downloaded more than 300,000 times) Into The Dead has also made it into the top 50 most wishlisted games on Steam overall. As of today, Wednesday April 9, it’s finally available via Early Access. You can also still try the demo before you buy. If you want to give it a shot, go here.

- [Giant Project Zomboid build 42 update makes zombies less scary and hints at NPCs](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/giant-project-zomboid-build-42-update-makes-zombies-less-scary-and-hints-at-npcs/) - Whether it’s State of Decay, Fallout, or DayZ, in post-apocalyptic survival games the biggest threat isn’t zombies or monsters or mutants – it’s other people. Until now, the existence of fellow survivors has only been hinted at in Project Zomboid, but given the success of mods like Week One, and the erstwhile prologue starring Bob and Kate Smith, it seems inevitable that NPCs will eventually return. Now, a big update to Project Zomboid build 42 perhaps lays the groundwork for that future, while also offering you a helping hand when it comes to dealing with Knox Country’s undead. It’s almost certainly happened to you by now. You’re picking through stores in Muldraugh, Riverside, or anywhere else in Project Zomboid, and suddenly you hear a distant gunshot, a scream, or an explosion. You can never find the source – like the radio broadcasts and annotated maps, these elements of the metagame only imply the presence of other people – but it’s clear that you’re not completely alone. Back in the earliest days of The Indie Stone’s survival game, the tutorial section cast you as the tragic couple Bob and Kate, and culminated with a showdown with a house-invading bandit. In fact, NPCs were a core part of Zomboid up until April 2013, when they were removed owing to the fact they were too buggy. Provisionally, non-player survivors are rumored to return in Zomboid build 43 – but the new update for build 42 could be laying the foundations. The new version of Zomboid, unstable 42.7.0, includes additional crafting recipes for making gold and silver coins – if you find sheets of either metal, you can process them into currency. As it stands, there is no trade in Zomboid of any kind. There’s no money, no swapping, and no merchants – there isn’t anybody. So, why would you need coins? Perhaps when the NPCs come back, you’ll be able to buy and sell things… One of the best Project Zomboid mods, Week One already demonstrates how the game will look with other survivors. It’s chaotic and cruel, but such is PZ. On that note, have you ever been bitten by a zombie that you thought was dead? Thanks to the new update, zombies that have been knocked down or stunned will now move their chests more noticeably, so you have a better chance of spotting that they’re still active. If you’re stockpiling gasoline be sure to put it in barrels that have lids, since it can now evaporate if it’s left in open containers. If you’re a veteran Zomboid player, you might be relieved to know that the opening, mood-setting message – “These are the end times. There was no hope of survival. This is how you died” – will now only appear once per save. Also included in the big update, fences are now more resilient, and won’t collapse as quickly when they’re being climbed and pressed against by multiple zombies. Let’s hope NPCs are coming back soon. In the meantime, you can brush up on your undead survival skills with the best zombie games, or maybe try the best sandbox games instead.

- [Land of the Dead (2005) – The Test of Time - JoBlo](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/10/land-of-the-dead-2005-the-test-of-time-joblo/) - The Test of Time series looks back at legendary director George A. Romero’s 2005 zombie movie, Land of the Dead [embedded content] Whether it’s the original director or not, following up all time classics in a series is a tall task. We have seen it with many of the greatest movies of all time like Rick Rosenthal having to follow up John Carpenter and Halloween or John Boorman following up William Friedkin and The Exorcist. Sometimes the original director has a go at it for contractual obligations like Tobe Hooper and Cannon films giving us Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 or for passion like John Carpenter himself electing to attempt to give us a better version of Escape from New York but in Los Angeles. Sorry, John, we still think you are wrong about that one. One director that made a career of it was George Romero. While he certainly had a varied career with things like Knightriders, Creepshow, and Monkey Shines, he is also the godfather of modern zombie horror. After Night of the Living Dead in 1968 he followed it up with another masterpiece in 1978 with Dawn of the Dead and then again in 1985 with Day of the Dead. 20 years later and 20 years ago now, he would give us a fourth entry in Land of the Dead. While it is certainly the last movie he will be remembered for, Dead series or not, does it stand the Test of Time? The Plot George Romero was never what I would consider prolific in his output, but he was consistent for a while and the number of revered classics on his resume is staggering. Season of the Witch, The Crazies, Martin, Two Evil Eyes, and The Dark Half all have their fans and that’s without mentioning the shuffling ghoul in the room. The “Dead” series and zombies the last nearly 60 years will always be linked to Romero the way that actors are linked to their portrayals of Dracula, or the Blair Witch will be linked to the found footage genre. Starting with 1968’s powerful allegory of a film Night of the Living Dead, the shadow loomed large over him even when he put out other, different films. 1978’s Dawn of the Dead was perhaps bigger and even captured the international audience with the help of Dario Argento who helped produce it and created a slightly different version for European audiences. Day of the Dead would seemingly be the last both in terms of the natural time cycle suggested by the titles but also thematically with humanity being defeated. 20 years after Day of the Dead naturally ended the franchise, we would get another look at the world where humanity is the disease, and the dead have taken over. Day of the Dead’s original script was a massive one and parts of that picture that didn’t get used were reworked and expanded on to make a 4th movie that originally had a very different title and even different studio behind its production. George had seen the direction that zombie movies were going as the same year that his opus came to a close, the other mind behind Night of the Living Dead would unleash The Return of the Living Dead and he wanted to move on. As the 90s turned to the 2000s though, zombie movies were making a huge comeback. 28 Days Later (I know, not really zombies but looking the part), loving homage Shaun of the Dead, and even a remake of his own movie Dawn of the Dead showed Romero and studios that the living dead were, well, not dead anymore. The first studio he spoke with was 20th Century Fox who oddly wanted him to call the movie Night of the Living Dead. He quite rightly hated that and suggested Dead Reckoning which they came back with Night of the Living Dead: Dead Reckoning and when he realized they just wanted rights to the name, he moved on to the oldest horror house in Universal Studios. Universal gave him one of his biggest budgets with nearly 20 million dollars to play with and it shows. It was his first movie with digital effects and just feels bigger. It was filmed in Canada even though he wanted to shoot it in Pittsburgh, but the tax shelter capital of the world fit in just fine for PA. While the larger budget allowed for a larger sandbox and toys, Romero still decided to go with a lesser-known cast apart from John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper who were both very well known. This is Leguizamo’s only real horror with some adjacent things like Spawn, The Menu, and Vanishing on 7th Street also being on his resume. Hopper is a legend with a pretty crazy career but not much horror apart from some really bad straight to video stuff and the polarizing Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The rest of the cast is filled out by Simon Baker, who was a couple years away from his breakout role in The Mentalist, Robert Joy, and daughter of friend and collaborator Dario Argento, Asia Argento as Slack. We would also get zombie appearances from Tom Savini playing his Dawn of the Dead character as well as Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright who had impressed George with their loving homage in Shaun of the Dead. The movie follows the now-normal end of the world where zombies outnumber living humans, and those humans are doing their best to kill each other off. Dennis Hopper’s Kaufman runs a surviving city that is full of the “us” who live in a clean and nice but expensive tower and “them” who just try to survive on the streets. John Leguizamo plays Cholo who runs errands for Kaufman and thinks he will earn his way into the tower of Fiddlers Green but is told money isn’t the only thing needed, and he is missing something he will never have. Cholo steals a massive truck named Dead Reckoning and threatens to blow up the tower unless his demands are met, and Simon Baker’s Riley is pulled out of an early retirement to track down the stolen vehicle. An advanced version of Day of the Dead’s Bub named Big Daddy leads a large army of zombies towards the tower to seek vengeance and to ultimately be left alone and all three stories end up back at the tower where Kauffman and Cholo are dead while Riley has a vehicle and crew to find his own paradise away from everyone else. The movie had a quite frankly awful video game tie in and was released on June 24th, 2005 in the US to fairly good reviews and the highest gross in the Dead series aside from the original Dawn with nearly 47 million dollars at the box office. Sign of the times As we stated earlier, zombies as a horror villain were making a comeback. While they never went away fully, this was a time that they took center stage in a few ways with running not-quite zombies in the two 28 Days Later movies or the traditional way with Shaun of the Dead that even as a parody is one of the best zombie movies ever made. We would get a mix of the two styles with James Gunn and Zack Snyder’s Dawn remake in 2004 and more to follow including two final zombie movies from George himself. Hell, the style here is somewhat stolen from 2004’s Dawn of the Dead but I think we can give it a pass as it is a remake of the movie that the guy stealing made. The rest of the movie’s call signs are really more about the man himself rather than the time it was made in. Romero uses his movies to tell a story that is more than zombies, and this is no different with the “us vs them” mentality of rich and poor people living their lives. The biggest one is Dennis Hopper’s character who even has a line of “We do not negotiate with terrorists” which was aimed at the current administration and Hopper said in later interviews that he based his character portrayal of Kauffman on Donald Rumsfeld. What Holds Up? Per usual in a Romero movie the effects here are lights out, at least the practical ones. The zombies look great, especially the ones that aren’t played by an actor, and the gore effects are incredible. This was the first movie in the series to actually receive a rating and Romero shot multiple versions of the death scenes; one to get the R rating and one to be on any unrated releases. This movie’s version of Bub, Big Daddy, is also neat and so is his progression from Bub. He has learned even more and it’s cool to see scenes of him trying to lead his fellow zombies, teach them what to do to proceed, or wake them up from their stupor when fireworks distractions are going off. There is a natural progression of zombie evolution found in his growth. Related to that, the use of fireworks to distract the zombies is a good effect on two fronts. It’s a clever tool that is realistic and could be found by the scavenging humans throughout the broken world but its also a fun Chekhov’s fireworks that you know is eventually going to fail and does near the end of the movie. Elsewhere, a ton of the horror found in Land of the Dead holds up well. The scenery outside Fiddlers Green, particularly the dumping ground, is a horrifying hellscape where the world we once knew is an eerie wasteland that no longer belongs to us. The natural progression of humans becoming increasingly uncivilized is terrifying to see while not exactly unpredictable with the blatant classism presented on screen and we finally have a character willing to just become a zombie, at least in Romero movies. Its an interesting choice for Cholo who really has nothing to lose and does eventually get his payback in the next life before being put to a final rest. What doesn’t hold up? The script and some of the acting are nothing special here. While the movies in the series up to now were seen mostly as gore spectacles or allegories, they had some solid performances and ideas that held on to the viewer tighter and longer than ones found in Land of the Dead. This leads to many of the characters being one note and predictable and a side issue of the choice to dub Argento was probably necessary with English being her second language, but it is distracting in a movie where nobody else is dubbed. Another distracting piece to the film is the CGI used. While it’s not as egregious as other movies we have talked about on the channel, it’s also unfortunately paired with some of the best gore and artists you can find. The music is something that doesn’t really work here either. Gone are the moody pieces of score done by Goblin or the Caribbean-inspired motifs in Day of the Dead and instead we get an aggressive rock kind of score that doesn’t belong in the series at all. It should be slow and plodding like the zombies found within. Finally, the timeline is somewhat confusing as this movie is supposed to come after Day of the Dead, but that movie was pretty clear that the bunker may be the last vestiges of humanity. I suppose if you watched it before day or just pretended it took place at the same time then it works but we shouldn’t have to do that. Verdict I went into this viewing thinking the movie wasn’t good or certainly hadn’t aged well but beyond the misses that we discussed in the last segment, this is a worthy movie. While it is still lesser than its preceding films, that’s like saying that the movies that came after Alien and Aliens or Halloween don’t hold up. Land of the Dead isn’t the masterpiece that Night, Dawn, or Day are, but it holds firm as one of our great directors’ last good movie. It shouldn’t be brushed aside when watching others in the series or even zombie movies as a whole and even 20 years later doesn’t look or feel too dated. Land of the Dead is a Reckoning that still stands the Test of Time. A couple of the previous episodes of The Test of Time can be seen below.

- [Game Review: 'South of Midnight' - HorrorFuel.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/game-review-south-of-midnight-horrorfuel-com/) - Xbox and Compulsion Games are introducing players to the world of Southern Gothic with the action adventure game South of Midnight. Players are put into the role of Hazel, a young woman who lives in the deep south (I’m assuming Louisiana), who, during a hurricane, had her home, with her mother in it, swept away. On her journey to find her mother, Hazel discovers she has the abilities of a Weaver, someone who mends the tears in the Grand Tapestry and fights the Haits (monsters born from these tears). I want to thank Compulsion Games and Xbox for sending me a copy of South of Midnight to check out! When it comes to the controls for South of Midnight, a lot is thrown at you, but don’t panic. Thankfully, on the screen, they keep the prompts for you as there are a lot of different buttons to use to help you traverse the world and fight the Haits. When it comes to the art of South of Midnight, holy crap is it amazing! I’ve heard people complain about the stop-motion style animation (which can be turned off, by the way), but I actually love it. I love how, at times, the game is bright and colorful and at other times muted and dreary. The voice acting is amazing, I would have to say my favorite character is the Catfish. I mean, come on, a talking catfish, what’s not to like?! The biggest seller for this game would have to be the soundtrack by Olivier Deriviere, who has a very impressive winning streak of game soundtracks. Heavily influenced by Southern folk and New Orleans jazz, you’ll be tapping your toes to the game, even when you’re running for your life at times. When it comes to gameplay, there’s exploration and platforming, which are rewarding, especially when you find “Floufs,” which is what you use to upgrade Hazel’s abilities and skills. When it comes to combat, I have mixed feelings. I don’t mind the hack-and-slash nature of it, but I wish there was a bit more to it and not so clunky as it’s hard to lock on enemies. Overall, I actually love this game. When the game was first announced, I saw the game get instant hate that even carried on to now post-launch for some reason. I think it’s obvious why there are haters for this game. Ignore the hate. As far as I’m concerned, this game is unique, and I hope it opens the door for more great storytelling through games. South of Midnight is nearly flawless when it comes to being a game with great storytelling, amazing voice talent, gorgeous art, and fun mechanics. The combat kind of hurt it, but it does not take away too much from it. On my scale of 1-10, South of Midnight is a 9.5! South of Midnight is out now on Xbox Series X/S and Windows.

PicturesMomoa reflected on filming the scene in a recent media interview.“You remember in the movie when I'm fighting the chicken jockey, which is hilarious?” Momoa said. “Dude, the chicken's just like 'Bawk Bawk.' It hits its nose. I lost it because they didn't have that in there when I was doing it.”Jack Black’s character Steve calls out the “chicken jockey” line and that’s the cue for teen fans to fly into a frenzy, with TikTok videos showing many screaming, throwing popcorn and sending soda through the air inside movie theaters.In response to the chaos, the Township Theatre in Washington Township, New Jersey, shared in a Facebook post that it would now require kids and teens to be accompanied by an adult for future showings of “A Minecraft Movie.”“Large groups of unsupervised boys engaged in completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism. We also received multiple complaints from other moviegoers who were trying to enjoy the film with their families,” the theater wrote in part, adding, “Moving forward: Any minors wishing to see The Minecraft Movie MUST be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. Unaccompanied groups of boys will not be admitted.”David Rose, co-owner of Township Theatre, said the new rule came after the theater manager reached out.“The manager called us and said that the theater was in bad shape. He said, ‘Well, it's a terrible mess. There is lotion squirted all over the place and there's a row of seats that have been pulled out of the floor,’” Rose recounted.Editor’s Picks“A Minecraft Movie,” starring Black and Jason Momoa and based on the popular 2011 video game, has been an instant hit since its April 4 release, grossing over $163 million in its opening weekend and becoming the biggest box office opening of the year so far, according to industry analysts.

That was made abundantly clear when a film like The Substance managed to earn Best Picture and Best Director nominations at the Oscars. Now, The Substance was far from the only great horror movie last year, it just happened to be the biggest awards winner of a very stout lineup. 2024 was responsible for some incredibly chilling entries, one of which just found its way to Prime Video’s streaming lineup, where it will likely find its biggest audience to-date. Videos by ComicBook.com The film in question is James Watkins’ See No Evil, an American remake of the 2022 Danish horror movie of the same name. Starring James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, and Aisling Franciosi, Speak No Evil follows two families that meet on vacation. When one family accepts an invitation to stay at the remote home of the other, they start to uncover a series of terrifying and deadly secrets. Despite an obnoxious trailer that seemingly played before every theatrical release for months, Speak No Evil turned out to be a good remake that earned more than $76 million at the box office on a mere $15 million budget. Speak No Evil has been available on Peacock for a little while now, but just made its move to Prime Video this week. Given the sizable audience on Prime, Speak No Evil has a chance to be viewed by more horror fans than ever before.

- [How 'The Minecraft Movie' Became 'Rocky Horror' for TikTok Kids - Rolling Stone](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/how-the-minecraft-movie-became-rocky-horror-for-tiktok-kids-rolling-stone/) - A Minecraft Movie, based on the best-selling video game in the world, is, to put it lightly, an abomination. It currently sits at a “rotten” 48 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and Rolling Stone’s own review was far from glowing, calling it an “expensively cheap, 100-percent corporate mess.” But despite the lackluster critical reception, it had the biggest video game movie opening weekend ever, with a record-breaking $157 million in the U.S. alone, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) which also stars Jack Black, Uncharted (2022), and three Sonic The Hedgehog movies (2020, 2022, and 2024). It’s also making kids and teenagers go absolutely feral at the cinema. In just its first weekend, the film has become a disruptive force, with young fans flocking in droves to not just watch Minecraft, but record themselves screaming and belly laughing at its many in-game references. A Minecraft Movie reactions are now a full-blown TikTok trend. [embedded content] In videos that have spread like wildfire across social media after the film’s opening days, fans can be seen screaming lines like “I am Steve!” or “chicken jockey!” — to the likely confusion of anyone who’s never played a minute of Minecraft (or sat through their children’s explanations of it). The movie is packed to the brim with self-referential humor, both directly from the game and its community, as well as from the pre-release marketing push for the movie. For anyone feeling lost, old, or generally confused as to what the hell’s going on, here’s a grown-up’s guide to all the references and moments in A Minecraft Movie that are driving fans wild. What exactly is a “Chicken Jockey?” The most viral trend to come out of A Minecraft Movie is for audiences to film themselves shouting, “Chicken jockey!” alongside Jack Black in the movie. The moment happens when Jason Momoa’s Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison finds himself in a wrestling ring with a chicken. Don’t worry about how or why this is happening — it just is. Slowly, a crate is lowered into the ring that contains a baby zombie, one of the deadliest enemies in the Minecraft game, despite its small stature. The block-headed creature lands on the chicken and rides it — it’s a chicken jockey. Editor’s picks Chicken Jockeys are an incredibly rare enemy to face in Minecraft. In the game’s survival mode, nighttime is deadly, and hostile foes can spawn randomly in dark areas. A baby zombie has just a five percent chance to spawn in the place of a regular zombie. The baby then has another five percent chance to spawn riding a chicken if one is in its immediate vicinity, and if none are present, it gets another five-percent chance to simply appear with a chicken it has brought out of the ether. All-in-all players have a roughly 0.25 to 0.4875-percent chance of encountering one during the game’s hostile nights. The illustrious chicken jockey is a rare find in the Minecraft game. Xbox Games Studios While the average person without Minecraft experience would never get this reference, any player knows what these mythical creatures are, but most go years, or even their whole lives, without ever witnessing a chicken jockey spawn, so seeing it appear on-screen is a Big Deal. But the obnoxious TikTok trend that the sequence in the film has launched has led to cinemas issuing warnings that the police will be called to disrupted screenings. And it’s actually happened. In a viral video on TikTok, police were called to a screening of the film in an unidentified theater in the U.S. when moviegoers erupted at Jack Black’s Steve saying a line that references a creature from the game. Kids threw popcorn, cheered, and gave a standing ovation, refusing to settle down even as the lights came on and the cops showed up. Related Content Minecraft memes, TikTok terms, and in-game characters The chicken jockey isn’t the only thing making gamers clap like seals, hooting and hollering in cinemas; there are loads of other lines and sights in the movie that kids are eating up. During the film’s opening monologue, Steve says, “As a child, I yearned for the mines.” This is a reference to a meme that started in 2022 from a tweet that read, “Minecraft proves that abolishing child labor was a mistake. The children yearn for the mines.” This line sets up the tone for what’s to come at most screenings of the movie — kids and teenagers going absolutely wild, flinging popcorn like monkeys throwing their poop because of the excitement caused by every character sighting, in-joke from the game’s community, and now-memed catchphrases from the movie’s trailers that have been jammed into the 101-minute runtime. Another line of dialogue prone to causing theaters to erupt is Jack Black’s infamous, “I am Steve” declaration from the movie’s first trailer. Streamer TommyInnit got Black to read many lines, but “I am Steve” is the one that resonated most, with one kid even standing right in front of the screen during the film’s end credits and shouting it to the cinema. The line itself isn’t actually from the game; Minecraft isn’t known for being dialogue-heavy. Ghasts play a similar role in the game and film, serving as a mount for characters to fly on. Xbox Games Studios There’s also a conspicuous use of the term “unalive,” uttered by one of the film’s villains, General Chungus (Jared Hess). It’s become a way for social media users to navigate censorship, used in place of kill, murder, death, suicide, and other terms that relate to someone dying, which have been banned from use on platforms (specifically TikTok). In A Minecraft Movie, it’s both being used to keep a PG rating and to show the kids who are foregoing social norms to film TikToks of the movie as it’s screening that the writers, themselves, “get it.” A ton of moments in the movie are based on actions lifted directly from the game, and these tend to get a big reaction out of the gamers too. When Steve saves the group from a deadly fall by throwing a bucket of water on the ground, it’s a reference to a popular survival trick employed by players like iShowSpeed, one of the most-popular streamers on the planet. Any fall damage in-game can be mitigated by landing in water or any depth, so most players keep a bucket of the wet stuff handy in case of an abrupt descent. Minecraft recently added an update that allows players to ride the white, hot air balloon-looking flying creatures called Ghasts, and we see a lot of that in the movie. Slime blocks, like the one Steve uses to jump onto the wooden platform suspended from a Ghast, also bounce players in the game, and Henry even finds a Golden Apple in the Woodland Mansion, which is a valuable item that can help heal a player. Kids’ favorite cameos On top of the many trending lines that kids are howling in unison or filming for content, there are plenty of homages to popular YouTubers and Twitch streamers in A Minecraft Movie. Some people may have been scratching their heads when kids started screaming and crying after seeing a pig wearing a crown; With zombie pig men and skeleton archers riding spiders, why would this specific creature elicit such a guttural reaction? The crown pig is the YouTube icon of Technoblade (whose first name is Alexander, last name unknown), a creator who died from cancer in 2022. Steve’s response when asked if the pig is a king (“No, that’s a legend”) is a touching tribute to the late internet star for those familiar with his work. One of Minecraft’s main developers, Jens “Jeb” Bergensten, also has a cameo during Jennifer Coolidge’s date with the villager. Bergensten can be seen in the background, and Coolidge’s remark that she thinks the villager is Swedish is a reference to Bergensten and Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson’s homeland of Sweden. Technoblade’s Minecraft skin. Xbox Games Studios; Technoblade A final cameo happens during the film’s end-credit sequence, when Steve returns to his house in the real world after saving the Minecraft realm. The person who opens the door is Alex, the female protagonist players can choose to play as instead of Steve if they change their in-game costume. But there’s one major cameo that fans expected to see that didn’t appear in the film. Streamer Valkyrae, who made a name for herself by playing Fortnite and also uploaded Minecraft videos before ultimately quitting the game in 2023, was due to have a small role in the movie, but it was evidently cut. On a recent livestream, Valkyrae confirmed that she had, in fact, flown to New Zealand to film a brief cameo for the film that ultimately wasn’t used. The creator wouldn’t fully elaborate, telling her viewers, “Let’s just say I’m not gonna touch too much on it, but as much as you guys saw the other creators that were in it, would have been the equal amounts that you saw me in it, which is like 30 seconds. So, it’s okay.” This is ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show for kids‘ Disruptive cinema screenings aren’t a new phenomenon. A huge part of fanaticism at theaters has been in communities turning out (and turning up) for their favorite movies; it’s something people have done since wielding lightsabers in darkly lit showings of Star Wars. For cult hits, though, the impetus to act performatively with a group of people at a movie theater usually boils down to some kind of deeper inside joke or shared appreciation. Take for instance the blurred lines between ironic enjoyment and genuine fervor for movies like The Room (2003), where audiences have thrown plastic spoons whenever a background picture frame has a stock photo of a spoon in it. A Minecraft Movie upholds a tradition of fandom going hog wild in movie theaters as a communal experience. Warner Bros. One of the most beloved movies built around rituals is The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), where audiences have sung along, danced to the “Time Warp,” and thrown toast, water, and toilet paper. It might go against everything cinephiles hold sacred, but perhaps theaters should lean into the group sense of lunacy A Minecraft Movie is inducing instead of running from it and issuing warnings. Film critic Siddhant Adlakha tweeted, “Based on the in-theatre reactions, Minecraft appears to be a wild new case of self-referential success where part of the experience involves recognizing viral clips and lines carved from the movie itself, pre-release. Studios are going to try and fail to re-create this 1,000 times.” Video game actor Roger Clark, best known as cowboy Arthur Morgan in Read Dead Redemption 2, aptly noted “The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.” Trending Stories Some theaters already do “sing-a-longs” for musicals and cinemagoers have frequently dressed up in cosplay for the likes of Star Wars and Avengers. At a time when the box office is already struggling as patrons wait for movies to hit streaming services rather than going out and buying expensive tickets, cinema management should be more open-minded. Kids who want to partake in TikTok trends could be given their own screenings where they won’t bother the rest of us, and those with younger kids who are worried about things getting rowdy can sit comfortably knowing it’s not their screening that’ll have popcorn flung all over the place. If you’re the kind of person who prefers the quiet, stoic cinema experience and wouldn’t scream your throat raw at the sight of a pink sheep or crowned pig, then this isn’t for you. Your chicken jockey is someplace else.

The film was only projected to pocket $60 million at first blush, leaving many industry insiders wondering how the estimates got it so wrong and “Minecraft” got it so right. “A Minecraft Movie” shocked Hollywood when the final box office numbers for its opening weekend arrived. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection The Jack Black-Jason Momoa movie, which has already become the highest grossing movie adaptation of a video game ever, ended up making a total of $313.4 million. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Explore More The success likely lies in how passionate “Minecraft” fans turned screenings into a phenomenon akin to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” — but for Gen Alpha and Gen Z. “I haven’t been to a movie with an audience this hyped since I saw ‘Magic Mike’ on opening night at the old Regal theater in Brooklyn Heights,” a 50-year-old resident from Mamaroneck, New York, who went with his 8- and 11-year-old sons to a Sunday night showing, told The Post. “My screening was pure pandemonium, in a fun way,” he added. “It reminded me of going to see ‘Rocky Horror.'” The success likely lies in how passionate “Minecraft” fans turned screenings into a phenomenon akin to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” — but for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. ©20thCentFox/courtesy Everett “My screening was pure pandemonium, in a fun way,” one moviegoer said. “It reminded me of going to see ‘Rocky Horror.'” ©20thCentFox/courtesy Everett “I haven’t been to a movie with an audience this hyped since I saw ‘Magic Mike’ on opening night,” another moviegoer told The Post. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection “Teens, tweens, and below were hooting and hollering from the moment the lights went down to play trailers.

The financial success of the film also owes to how enthusiastic fans turned the movie into an event experience. “It was so interactive. Everyone was super excited. It was a lot of fun!” one moviegoer, who saw the flick in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Friday night, told The Post. “People were yelling out things, clapping.

- [Cinemas threaten Minecraft Movie audiences over 'chicken jockey' TikTok trend - The Guardian](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/cinemas-threaten-minecraft-movie-audiences-over-chicken-jockey-tiktok-trend-the-guardian/) - Cinemas have warned audience members they will be ejected if they join in with a TikTok trend encouraging filmgoers to disrupt screenings of the hit Minecraft film.Footage has emerged on social media of audiences cheering, throwing popcorn and shouting out during the film, particularly during a scene where one of the stars, Jack Black, calls out “Chicken jockey!” at the appearance of a baby zombie riding a chicken.The “chicken jockey” trend has gone viral on TikTok and has resulted in a number of cinemas across the globe taking measures to deal with disruptive behaviour at showings of the video game adaptation.A number of cinemas in the UK, including Cineworld in Witney, the Radway in Sidmouth and the Reel cinemas in Fareham and Rochdale, have posted notices warning audience members against disrupting screenings of A Minecraft Movie, while the Regent Cinema in Newtown, Wales said it would adopt a “zero-tolerance approach” of stopping screenings if audiences go too far.One cinemagoer in Newtown told the Powys County Times: “Quite honestly I’ve seen monkeys at Chester Zoo behave more civilised than those at the 1.45pm showing on Saturday.”Witney Cineworld said offenders would be ejected: “Any form of antisocial behaviour, especially anything that may disturb other guests such as loud screaming, clapping and shouting will not be tolerated. Anyone who is found to be acting in this manner will be removed from the screening and not entitled to a refund.”The Radway in Sidmouth posted a similar warning on its social media page saying: “Anyone found taking part in the current social media trend involving A Minecraft Movie will be removed from the cinema. We wish for our customers to enjoy the experience they have paid for.” The Reel in Rochdale said the police would be called “where necessary”.Cineworld, one of the UK’s largest cinema chains, is attempting to steer more vocal Minecraft fans towards specially created screenings. It has announced “one-off” showings this weekend giving filmgoers the chance to dress up as Minecraft characters and “let your hair down” and encouraged “shouting ‘chicken jockey’ as you see fit!” on those occasions.However, the chain asked people attending the screenings on 13 April in its 4DX format – which includes effects such as strobe lighting and movable seats – to not go “full creeper”, referring to a villainous creature in the Minecraft game that can hurt or kill players.“No mess please, just good clean fun,” said Cineworld in a statement advertising the screenings.In the US, the Township theatre in Washington, New Jersey has banned unaccompanied minors from attending screenings of the film after what it called an “unfortunate situation” on 4 April. In a social media post, it said: “Large groups of unsupervised boys engaged in completely unacceptable behaviour, including vandalism … Moving forward: Any minors wishing to see The Minecraft Movie MUST be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. Unaccompanied groups of boys will not be admitted.”It added: “If your son was at Township theatre last night, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with him about his behaviour.”Despite incidents of rowdy behaviour across cinemas in the US and UK, it was business as usual at a Cineworld in Didsbury, Manchester on Wednesday. At a couple of early afternoon screenings of the film starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa during the school Easter holidays, the viral scene was met with silence, with cinema staff saying they had not experienced any rowdy or antisocial behaviour.For Luke Halil, 29, and Carla Gouveia, 24, who came to watch the film with their young son, it was a peaceful experience. The couple said they were familiar with the “chicken jockey” trend but had not expected any unusual behaviour, as they had booked an early afternoon viewing.“It was really quiet. The film were good,” Gouveia said. “I think because of the time of day, it was less likely to be how it has been. If you were to come in the evening you probably would witness more of that kind of behaviour.”In 2022 TikTok was at the centre of another disruptive cinema trend when some audience members disrupted screenings of Minions: The Rise of Gru, prompting some UK cinemas to ban groups of young people turning up for screenings in fancy dress.A Minecraft Movie has proved unexpectedly successful at the box office, scoring the highest ever opening weekend for a video game adaptation in North America, and amassing about $314m across the world. Despite initial reservations among hardcore Minecraft enthusiasts after a poorly received initial trailer, the film has benefited from huge enthusiasm from younger audiences.The ticket sales have boosted a cinema industry that is struggling to regain pre-Covid levels, amid stiff competition from YouTube, social media and TV streaming services.TikTok declined to comment.

- ['Parents left picking popcorn out of their hair': the meme-soaked magic of A Minecraft Movie](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/parents-left-picking-popcorn-out-of-their-hair-the-meme-soaked-magic-of-a-minecraft-movie/) - This week I took my son, Zac, to see the new Minecraft movie, which is hardly a remarkable statement in the highly video game-branded world of 21st-century cinema – except that what followed was not typical at all. At least, not yet.As you may have seen from a number of bewildered news reports over the last few days, A Minecraft Movie has quickly engendered a community of, let’s say, highly engaged and enthusiastic fans. Spurred on by TikTok meme posts, vast portions of the film’s audience are now yelling out key lines of dialogue as they happen and singing along to the songs. In one key moment where a rare character from the game – the zombie chicken jockey – is introduced, they go absolutely crazy, throwing drinks and popcorn around, and in some US cinemas, getting escorted from the screening by police.The reaction was a little more muted in our tiny independent cinema in Frome, but still, there were rows of teenagers who had clearly seen all the TikTok posts telling them which lines to shout along to, and went to throw stuff, and they were extremely excited to be doing so, a few surreptitiously filming their mates’ reactions so they could add to the social media carnage. It was boisterous enough for the cinema to post on Facebook the next day about antisocial behaviour and the illegality of recording during a film.There is much to unpack here about the exclusionary nature of internet culture, cinema etiquette and the migration of online communities into physical spaces. Most of the audience reactions were fine – it’s an intentionally daft movie made for fans, and it is thrilling to celebrate fandom in a crowded space with likeminded peers. The film itself constantly rewards those who are immersed in its fiction – we enjoyed spotting the many Easter eggs (“oh look, it’s Herobrine!”) as well as little cameos from Minecraft YouTubers and even the game’s developers. There are also genuinely funny moments of slapstick and irony, hinging on committed performances from Jack Black and Jason Momoa.View image in fullscreenBut for Zac, who is 19 and autistic, and for a lot of the smaller children in the auditorium, there were times when the atmosphere was confusing and a little intimidating. There have been comparisons to the wild reactions in screenings of Marvel movies such as Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home, but those responses were largely prompted by in-film events. We all understood why people cheered when Captain America successfully caught Thor’s hammer, since the moment was painstakingly built into the lore of the series.With A Minecraft Movie, the prompts to audience reaction are largely from memes, that branch of internet comedy that is by its nature arcane: the joke is that you are seen to get the joke by other people who also get the joke. Out of context, a meme is a private gag you’re not in on. Perhaps the closest analogy is the culture around The Rocky Horror Picture Show and its legendary fan screenings in fleapit cinemas, complete with water pistols and drag attire. But those events were opt-in – everyone knew what they were getting. I’m not sure the same could be said for all of the parents leaving my screening picking popcorn out of their hair.But look, we really enjoyed watching the film. When Zac was young and struggling to communicate, Minecraft was a cherished outlet for him, allowing him to be creative and to make friends. He still plays to this day; it is his comfort blanket and it changed our lives – not least because I ended up writing a novel, A Boy Made of Blocks, inspired by our experiences within the game. Just hearing that baleful piano music in the cinema, sharing those jokes, seeing something that has had a profound positive effect on my family depicted on a huge screen among other fans, was an emotional experience.Of course, teenagers are supposed to be confusing and intimidating – that’s their job. We can’t just pivot from handwringing over the anxious generation to “let’s ban them from the cinemas because they’re naughty”. Also, in these difficult times for the movie industry, film-makers need to find ways to engage with teen audiences who are going out less, whether that’s due to the expense, social anxiety or the all-encompassing nature of digital culture. A Minecraft Movie is that most perfect unicorn of the entertainment business: a review-retardant, multimillion-dollar blockbuster that’s reaching the most unreachable generation in modern history. A lot of studios are now going to be busy working out how they can capture this meme-soaked magic in a bottle.Perhaps cinema owners will get wise and organise dedicated autism-friendly screenings, or at the opposite end of the scale, embrace the chaos and do special fan nights. They just need to be prepared to pay the cleaning staff a little extra.What to playView image in fullscreenA few hundred years ago (well, 1998), my favourite example in the then-crowded real-time strategy genre was Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, a rip-roaring world war two tactical adventure where you directed a group of variously skilled soldiers through covert missions against German strongholds. Commandos: Origins is a reimagining of the series, modernising the original’s intricately detailed isometric landscapes and retaining its focus on stealth and sabotage. It’s like being in your own interactive version of old war comics such as Warlord and Battle Action, and I am fully prepared to lose hours of my life repeatedly attempting to get the sniper into the guard tower without being spotted by the patrolling Nazis.Available on: PC, PS5, Xbox Estimated playtime: 20+ hoursskip past newsletter promotionafter newsletter promotionWhat to readView image in fullscreen Polygon has some interesting follow-on from the recent Nintendo Switch 2 announcement: the console’s much-heralded group chat feature won’t be free.

However, there’s a stigma that fighting games are only about pushing buttons and being hyper-competitive. What could developers and players do to break this stigma?”I think this comes from the disconnect between the action of fighting games and their narrative content: usually, all the story happens in cutscenes and pre-fight taunts, so players can feel disconnected from the lore. A few fighting game designers have started to draw the narrative more into the interactivity, using specific locations, costumes and moves to express the story. I think Injustice and Blazblue do a good job of this, while Namco’s anime-based fighters Dragon Ball and Naruto really cram the ongoing plotlines into the fights. Maybe fighting game devs could look at breaking up bouts to let story sequences in, so players are more heavily invested in the story and understand the stakes. As for players, I’ve always found fighting game communities to be extremely welcoming – that’s all they really need to do.If you’ve got a question for Question Block – or anything else to say about the newsletter – hit reply or email us on pushingbuttons@theguardian.com.
- [What is 'chicken jockey' and why are Minecraft movie-goers losing their minds over it?](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/what-is-chicken-jockey-and-why-are-minecraft-movie-goers-losing-their-minds-over-it/) - Younger audiences attending Minecraft Movie have been kicked out of the theater for their reaction to one specific scene involving a “chicken jockey.”On Sunday, the Township Theatre in New Jersey issued a statement on Facebook announcing that minors attending screenings of A Minecraft Movie must be “accompanied by a parent or responsible adult,” following “an unfortunate situation” that took place during a Saturday showing.In the movie, which hit theaters on Friday, Jack Black’s character sees a baby zombie fall onto the back of a chicken, causing theater-goers to erupt into chaos by screaming or throwing popcorn.For those wondering, a chicken jockey — a baby zombie riding a chicken — is an extremely rare phenomenon in the game.To see one, players need to wait for zombies to appear, which can only happen at night. Then they have to hope the zombie is a baby, another rare occurrence, and that a chicken is close enough that they spawn on top of it.The Minecraft Wikipedia page breaks down the probability of a chicken jockey’s appearance using percentages. “Each baby zombie, baby husk, baby zombie villager, baby zombified piglin, or baby drowned that spawns has a 5% chance to check for an existing chicken within a 10×6×10 box centered on the baby's spawn location and spawn riding one of those chickens if there are any,” the page reads.Fans fawned over the chicken jockey by screaming and throwing popcorn in the theater after the scene

But, you may be thinking, 'Wait, didn't Smith die at the end of the film?', which is correct. However, it looks like Smith will be alive and well in the new movie as the star says the sequel will follow on from the movie’s alternate ending."What we were gonna do is the prequel," said Smith on the Drink Champs podcast. However, the star then explained that writer Akiva Goldsman suggested that they instead make a direct sequel following the 2007 movie’s alternate ending, where Smith’s protagonist Robert Neville survives.Based on Richard Matheson‘s 1954 novel of the same name, the original zombie movie follows Smith’s lone scientist living in a city taken over by zombie-like creatures called Darkseekers, with only his dog as company. Throughout the movie, we see Neville conducting research on the undead to find a cure. But his trials are futile, as in the end, Neville sacrifices himself when he blows up the monsters so that his new friend Anna and her child can survive and take his cure to a nearby research facility. You may like However, when the movie was released digitally, it also included an alternate ending, which was supposed to show during the film’s theatrical release but was cut due to negative response from initial test screenings. The alternate final scene sees Neville face up to the lead zombie. But the monster doesn’t kill him, and instead takes back the female zombie that Neville was conducting his research on. The zombies then turn around and leave, suggesting that although they are vicious creatures, they are capable of human emotion."Six weeks before the movie comes out, we had to reshoot the ending that was actually in the movie where my character dies," Smith explained. However, the star added that the team wanted to keep the alternate ending, but chose not to release it theatrically due to audiences "hating" it. "It was probably an $8 million ending that got scrapped, ’cause there was special effects and all that stuff in it."Although little has been released about the sequel, we do know that it will take place decades after the original movie and will also star Black Panther’s Michael B Jordan, as well as Smith. "Michael B. Jordan‘s character currently is the head of a new settlement … in Connecticut," Smith said. "He’s not my son."The I Am Legend sequel does not yet have a release date.

- [British cinemas fight viral 'chicken jockey' trend | The Straits Times](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/british-cinemas-fight-viral-chicken-jockey-trend-the-straits-times/) - LONDON – British cinemas have pleaded with audiences to stop throwing popcorn and disrupting screenings of A Minecraft Movie after a TikTok trend around the hit video game-based film went viral. The trend involves young audience members raucously shouting, applauding and throwing fistfuls of popcorn in the cinema when American actor Jack Black shouts the phrase “chicken jockey” on screen. The cryptic phrase refers to a Minecraft character – a baby zombie sat atop a chicken – which rarely appears in the cult video game but makes a cameo in the new movie.Multiple British cinemas warned viewers to behave during screenings or risk being removed.British chain Reel Cinemas said it was “increasing our monitoring of screens”, adding that “disruptive behaviour, including taking part in TikTok trends... will not be tolerated”.It warned that anyone causing disruption would be removed, and if necessary, the police called.One cinema run by Cineworld in Oxfordshire put up a notice saying “anti-social behaviour” including “loud screaming, clapping and shouting will not be tolerated”.“To make sure everyone has a blast, we ask that all cinemagoers respect cinema etiquette,” Cineworld said in a statement quoted by the BBC.Instead, the British cinema operator announced “special Chicken Jockey” screenings next week, where “clapping, cheering, and shouting... is absolutely encouraged”.But even then, Cineworld said there would be “no throwing, no mess” allowed.The TikTok trend went viral after fans picked out the infamous line from the trailer and began poking fun at Black’s delivery, prompting rowdy reactions when it was played on the big screen.Based on the wildly popular video game where players build a three-dimensional world, A Minecraft Movie met with poor critic reviews, but has proved a smash-hit at the box office.It was the most successful adaptation ever from a video game on its opening weekend in North American cinemas, according to analysts, with an estimated US$157 million (S$210 million) in ticket sales.And it had an “extraordinary (and unexpected) £15 million opening weekend” at the British and Irish box office, according to the UK Cinema Association.

- [One of The Best Zombie Movies Is In Theaters Now (And You Probably Haven't Heard Of It)](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/09/one-of-the-best-zombie-movies-is-in-theaters-now-and-you-probably-havent-heard-of-it/) - Salvador, the oldest of three brothers, wakes up to another morning. His leg is missing, meaning that he needs to use crutches to help himself to his feet as he gets ready for breakfast. Making his way down the stairs of the quiet home that he shares with his siblings, Salvador gets ready for the day. Reaching his hand into a bucket of worms, he mashes them up into a bowl, adds water, sprinkles honey on top, and downs them instantly in an old glass. Welcome to the world of Parvulos: Children Of The Apocalypse, a movie that has a limited run in theaters and is one of the best zombie movies of recent memory. Videos by ComicBook.com While the movie might feature three brothers who are either teenagers or pre-teens, Parvulos is not for the faint of heart. This zombie film takes place in the middle of the woods as a zombie plague in a similar style to 28 Days Later has ravaged the world. Rather than the living dead bursting forth from the grave, the virus transforms its victims into ghoulish, blank-eyed wraiths that will eat anything, or anyone, to survive. Children of The Apocalypse is a story that might not feature hordes of zombies crashing through the brothers’ home, but it’s a story of survival that makes good on its apocalyptic setting and demonstrates how far a good premise can go even with a limited budget. [RELATED: This Is the Most Messed Up Zombie Movie According to Horror Fans] Children of The Apocalypse corazon films One of the strongest elements of Parvulos is its young cast in Salvador, Oliver, and Benji as they try to survive by any means necessary while attempting to decipher a dark secret they have sitting in their basement. Some zombie movies might give their protagonists a world to survive in like an abandoned mall from Dawn of The Dead or a contained township like The Walking Dead, but Children of The Apocalypse takes a different route. The three siblings are completely isolated from the outside world, deep in the forest, requiring them to make tough decisions to ensure their survival. As mentioned earlier, eating a handful of ground-up worms is far from the only gnarly decision they must make to make sure that there is food on the table. Throughout the film’s runtime, we see the trio not just needing to make difficult decisions, but doing so in a way that audiences might not agree with. This opens up the stage for some thoughtful introspection for those viewing the film and how these children’s moral compass has been wavering thanks to their apocalyptic environment. It’s not an easy ride but that’s normally the typical route for most zombie fiction, in that the best of the best presents viewers with worlds that are both teeming with the living dead and the choices made by those hoping to survive them. The Zombies Rise Play video [embedded content] [embedded content] As for the zombies themselves, these freakish abominations might have origins similar to the infected rage victims of 28 Days Later, but they look far more terrifying. Parvulos’ “undead” have stringy, thin hair, are constantly chomping their teeth, their eyes have long since lost any light they had when they were alive, and they are more than able to move more like a frantic beast than a walking corpse. Without diving too much into spoiler territory, there are two zombies in particular who perform some wild actions alongside their freakish looks that you can’t help but laugh at considering how the film manages to seamlessly blend uncomfortable humor and horror into one. There aren’t a veritable ton of zombies that are crashing off the screen in Parvulos: Children of The Apocalypse but that’s ok. The horror film shines in focusing on its setting and the almost inhuman choices that the three brothers are forced to make. This doesn’t mean there isn’t some wild gore during important scenes however as the zombie film knows when to bare its teeth and wade its way into the waters of ultra-violence. The violence and bleak setting are made all the more hard-hitting thanks to the desaturated take that Parvulos presents its world in, routinely focusing on black and white while letting in color based on whatever scenario is taking place on screen. If you’re looking to dive into a new world of horror, Parvulos: Children of The Apocalypse is in limited theaters for a limited time, so find a screening nearest you if you want to check out one of the best zombie movies in recent memory.

- [Surprise! 8 New Horror Movies Started Streaming Today (April 8) | Thought Catalog](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/surprise-8-new-horror-movies-started-streaming-today-april-8-thought-catalog/) - It looks like April is going to be another big month for new horror! Just today, eight brand-new horror movies hit streaming services. The lineup includes dark fantasy films, fairy tale horror, monster movies, demonic possessions, gory action, and a serial killer biopic. If you want to keep up with the best horror released in 2025, take a look at my ranking of every single newly released horror film I’ve watched (and I’m trying to watch them all) over on Creepy Catalog. I’m up to 62 movies as of this writing. And for more new horror from the past twelve months, keep checking my New & Upcoming Horror Movies Tracker. For now though, here are trailers and descriptions for the eight movies released today. [embedded content] Ed Kemper was co-written by Stephen Johnston who also wrote other movies inspired by real killers, including Ed Gein (2000), The Hillside Strangler (2004), Starkweather (2004), and Ted Bundy (2002). For viewers who enjoy: true crime adaptations, serial killer thrillers Ed Kemper is a biopic of the serial killer sometimes referred to as the “Co-ed Killer.” In 1973, Kemper was convicted of murdering eight women, and his crimes often involved corpse mutilation and necrophilia. This narrative film juxtaposes his horrific acts along with his upbringing in an abusive environment. [embedded content] Horror icon Bill Moseley is in the cast of Red Night at Skye’s. For viewers who enjoy: crime capers, gory violence Family man and veteran Cole Boyd needs money. Fast. So he reluctantly agrees to take part in the robbery of a pawn shop which is actually a front for a meth-making gang. Skye’s Pawn Shop has more secrets than just meth though, and Boyd’s evening plans change from a robbery into a blood-drenched fight for survival. [embedded content] One of the stars of Gates of Flesh, Rae Olivier, previously appeared in V/H/S/99 (2022) and The Walking Dead (in the episode “The World Before” from season 10). For viewers who enjoy: demonic zombies, survival horror A city is overrun by a wave of demonic possession that turns people into a conscious-yet-zombie-like state (sort of like Deadites from the Evil Dead franchise). A group of friends seek shelter in an abandoned church, but one among them is already possessed. Can they escape before they are all taken? [embedded content] The cast list for Desert Fiends has many faces familiar to low-budget horror fans, including Scout Taylor-Compton, Eric Roberts, Bai Ling, Michael Paré, and more. For viewers who enjoy: desert movies, horror comedies The trailer for Desert Fiends looks like Burning Man meets The Hills Have Eyes. The story is about friends breaking down on their way to a concert in the desert, then they’re hunted by a family of deranged desert-dwelling killers. The Indiegogo campaign describes the movie as a “horror comedy slasher film,” and the trailer does look pretty silly. It also looks like fun. [embedded content] In the Lost Lands was inspired by the 1982 short story of the same name by George R. R. Martin. The movie was released in theaters in March. For viewers who enjoy: apocalyptic fantasy, action horror, Paul W.S. Anderson movies In the Lost Lands is portrayed as an action-horror epic, though how epic it really feels might depend on the viewer. Set in a dystopian, apocalyptic future where magic and monsters exist, a witch named Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich) enlists the aid of a guide, Boyce (Dave Bautista), to help her travel into the dangerous Lost Lands to find a werewolf. The movie’s aesthetic feels like a fantasy-horror movie straight out of the late-90s or early 2000s, complete with melodramatic moments and cheesy CGI. It’s actually kind of fun. [embedded content] “Rumpelstiltskin” has been adapted into a horror movie before, most notably in 1995 in the cheesy, low-budget Rumpelstiltskin by director Mark Jones. For viewers who enjoy: fairy tale horror movies, dark fantasy Unlike some other modern retellings of fairy tales like Cinderella’s Revenge (2024) or Alice in Terrorland (2023), this adaptation of “Rumpelstiltskin” appears to stick mostly to its roots. It tells the story of a miller’s daughter who is ordered by a king to spin straw into gold, or else she will be executed. A grotesque imp appears in the young woman’s time of need, and you probably already know the rest. As a dark (well, darker) version of the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin looks interesting. [embedded content] Visually, the trailer for The Cursed Tapes is reminiscent of The Boogeyman (2023) with its long-fingered monster and a kid walking around in the dark with a ball light. For viewers who enjoy: monsters, creepy supernatural horror While Clint (Donny Boaz) is going through his late father’s belongings for an estate sale, he discovers a box of VHS tapes. As he watches the disturbing tapes, Clint is able to piece together the monstrous secret his father was concealing. The trailer for The Cursed Tapes gives the impression that it might be part anthology horror, and part Boogeyman-inspired monster movie. [embedded content] Carl Rimi stars in iPossessed as Tad Volo. He also co-wrote and co-directed the movie. For viewers who enjoy: demonic possession, psychological horror A demon infiltrates the housewarming party held by a group of friends. They are forced to agree to stay together through the night or else one of them will lose their soul. As the night progresses, the demon attempts to turn friend against friend, causing distrust and fear to take them over.
- [Easter Deserves a Classic Horror Movie - Paste Magazine](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/easter-deserves-a-classic-horror-movie-paste-magazine/) - Holidays and horror cinema go together like … well, Halloween and trick-or-treat candy, or Christmas and stocking stuffers. Since the likes of 1974’s Black Christmas and 1978’s Halloween codified the concept of attaching horror scripts–so often slasher movies, in this particular period–to popular American holidays, there’s been practically no red letter day out there that hasn’t been exploited by a low-budget horror filmmaker at one point or another. Mother’s Day? That’s got a horror flick. April Fool’s Day? Yep, horror movie. Even Presidents’ Day inspired a horror film at one point.With the more prominent American holidays, you can take your pick from dozens or even hundreds of options. Christmas is perhaps the undisputed king of holiday horror, yielding so many films on an annual basis since the 1980s that Paste’s own Christmas horror movie list is now 25 entries long. Halloween is also, for obvious reasons, closely tied to horror cinema, well beyond John Carpenter’s iconic classic. Even Thanksgiving has a fairly rich horror movie back catalog, including Eli Roth’s high-profile, (relatively) big budget Thanksgiving in 2023, which has an impending sequel arriving this fall. But the major holiday with a curious lack of genuinely high-profile, effective and enduring horror classics? That would be Easter. Despite no shortage of zero-budget films involving men in bunny suits, Easter is still wanting for a great, modern horror classic–surely there must be some filmmaker out there willing to make it happen?Until that moment, though, here’s a brief rundown of the world of Easter horror cinema as it exists today.Easter’s Horror RootsThematically, it feels like Easter should be almost perfect for horror genre exploitation. The Christian roots of the holiday are undeniably grisly: It begins with the gory public execution of Jesus of Nazareth, material that has been depicted dramatically (to mega box office results) in the likes of The Passion of the Christ. It then obviously involves a physical resurrection on the part of Jesus, which lends itself to an obvious zombie metaphor: What is the resurrected Jesus if not some kind of spiritually empowered zombie?Likewise, the teachings and ritual practices established by Jesus have a certain sheen of horror symbolism to them when taken both literally and metaphorically. He instructed his followers, after all, to eat of his flesh in symbolic means via bread and wine, but Catholic dogma such as the concept of transubstantiation stresses that in the process of Communion and blessing, that wine and wafer is transformed into the literal flesh and blood of the savior. What can the result be called, other than ritual cannibalism? It’s yet another obvious angle for horror filmmakers to key in on, if they’re depicting the Easter holiday from a religious horror angle.A few of the most fleshed-out (sorry) “Easter horror” concepts to date have gone this route. It’s not a film, but on the small screen, Mike Flanagan’s Netflix miniseries Midnight Mass does culminate on Easter, with a storyline involving the supernatural corruption that a vampire wreaks in a small island community after the town’s unfortunately genre-blind residents and hometown priest mistake that vampire for a biblical angel. The actual Easter holiday, however, is not particularly tied to the plot of Midnight Mass.Likewise, 1999’s Resurrection is one of the few serious horror films that is legitimately and unabashedly based around the Easter window, thematically tying its familiar police-chasing-a-serial-killer story to the themes of Christ’s resurrection. Specifically, the cops here are hunting a madman who is attempting to recreate the “body of Christ” by stitching together the stolen limbs and body parts of his victims, ‘ala the jigsaw woman of classic 1982 trash slasher Pieces. It’s a rather audacious plotline, although the film itself suffers from the fact that it’s impossible to miss its blatant attempts at recreating/ripping off 1995’s Se7en, with Highlander director Russell Mulcahy trying on his best (not very good) David Fincher impersonation while throwing another leading role to his muse, Christopher Lambert. To date, this straight-to-DVD affair is still among the most high-profile, legitimate Easter-themed horror films released in the U.S., which is saying something.Other American horror flicks have been more coincidentally set during the Easter season in a way that isn’t directly tied to the holiday itself, such as 1988’s Critters 2, which sees the miniscule, spherical, puff-ball-with-teeth aliens returning to menace a small town over what appears to be Easter weekend. There’s an Easter egg hunt in this one, and even an Easter Bunny who is at one point killed by the Critters, crashing through the stained glass windows of a church service to die in front of the congregation, but it’s all just set dressing rather than an important part of what passes for narrative in a Critters sequel.[embedded content]Killer Rabbits GaloreIf there’s one corner of the Easter-appropriate horror world that has been done in volume, and done to death and beyond, it’s anything involvingA. Killer rabbits (animals) or supernatural Easter Bunnies, orB. Guys in rabbit suits who kill people.This can range from Monty Python-style tiny killer rabbit hijinks, to mutated giant monster bunnies, to half-man, half-rabbit hybrids, to conventional slasher fare that just so happens to involve a dollar store bunny costume. You could consider 1972’s Night of the Lepus to be a progenitor in this niche–it’s a story about a town under siege by giant, mutated rabbits, essentially cribbing its style from the atomic era “giant irradiated monster” movies of 15 years earlier. Today it stands out for the unintentional humor of its forced perspective special FX, which for the most part simply superimposed swarms of actual, adorable rabbits against miniature sets while occasionally splashing a little red dye around their mouths in an attempt to make them appear vicious. Suffice to say, it all feels a bit more fluffy than perilous.In truth, most of the rabbit-based Easter horror instead leans into the absurdism of the concept and uses the inherent stupidity of the premise to produce either horror comedies or “bad on purpose,” Z-grade schlock. This is true of so many of the more recent attempts at Easter “horror,” which typically feel as if they’re the result of a pun title being written first, and then the barebones outline of a film reverse engineered to fit it. See: The likes of Finnish slasher comedy Bunny the Killer Thing, jackalope horror comedy Easter Bloody Easter, jaw-droppingly horrendous CGI bunny monster vehicle Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell, or either of the multiple films that use the portmanteau “Rottentail” in their titles. The latter is particularly grating–2019’s Rottentail is like an Easter horror movie by way of Troma, featuring a half-man, half bunny science experiment turned into a foul-mouthed, wisecracking super soldier in the mold of The Toxic Avenger. This is the kind of horror cinema that is only being sought out by the most inveterate genre junkies, the cinematic equivalent of bathtub gin.[embedded content]There are still more inspirations for cheap, independent Easter horror fare, one of the most prominent being the Northern Virginia urban legend of the Bunny Man, a folk boogeyman who stems from a series of police reports in 1970 in which people described having been menaced by a figure in a bunny costume. Given the popularity of urban legends as a basis for cheap independent horror cinema (public domain, baby), it should come as no surprise that there’s a veritable fistful–possibly dozens–of films related to the Bunny Man today, none of which should be anyone’s priority to see. Ditto the likes of 2024’s Easter Evil, which appears to be … a colorful, zero budget John Waters Easter riff? Well, at least that’s a less utilized niche, I’ll give them that.To date, the one and only largely effective piece of Easter-themed horror I’ve encountered isn’t actually a feature film at all, but rather a short entry in a larger horror anthology. 2016’s Holidays isn’t an anthology of particular note–it doesn’t make our master list of the best horror anthology movies–but its lauded Easter segment does contain the best take I’ve seen to date on the idea of presenting the Easter Bunny as a figure of supernatural horror. In this short, a young girl is warned against witnessing the Easter Bunny in person, but is caught out of bed when the creature–looking like something out of Guillermo del Toro’s nightmares–visits the house and begins manifesting eggs and baby chicks out of gross slits in its hands. The short makes the inspired choice of tying the Easter Bunny’s mythology right into the Christ story itself, turning its rabbit into not just a bunny-man hybrid, but one that has seemingly been gruesomely crucified, still bearing its open wounds and thorny crown. Suffice to say, this glistening monstrosity manages to be squishy, gross and ideologically transgressive enough to be genuinely disturbing. To date, it’s the closest thing we have to a unit of genuinely effective Easter horror.[embedded content]But still, given the couple of millennia that Christians have been celebrating this holiday, can’t we expect a little bit more? If another Christian holiday in the form of Christmas can continue to inspire at least halfway decent horror entries on an annual basis, with occasional classics like Krampus sprinkled in, then surely we can get at least one halfway decent horror standard that can serve as a yearly Easter touchstone? Even St. Patrick’s Day has the Leprechaun series, for god’s sake. This Easter, I want to find a new, bloody horror classic waiting for me in my basket.Jim Vorel is Paste’s Movies editor and resident genre geek.

- [What is 'Chicken Jockey' From 'A Minecraft Movie'? - TODAY.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/what-is-chicken-jockey-from-a-minecraft-movie-today-com/) - Chicken jockey! Flint and steel! The Nether!There's a high chance that these phrases mean nothing to most adults. But if you went to see "A Minecraft Movie" during its opening weekend, you've probably heard those words shouted at high volume.“A Minecraft Movie,” starring Jack Black as “Steve,” killed it at the box office, with a $163 million opening weekend. The memes it has spawned — as well as the wild crowd reaction in movie theaters — has made it a cultural phenomenon. In some cases, movie theaters have banned unaccompanied minors or even called in the police to handle the uproar over, of all things, “chicken jockey.”"Chicken jockey" became an in-theater sensation thanks to "A Minecraft Movie" trailers leading to its releaseWarner Bros. via YouTubeBuzz around the movie, based on the second-best-selling video game of all time, grew through trailers that were amplified on social media.Of all the phrases, none is more prominent than "chicken jockey." Once a harmless internet joke, it's now an infamous battle cry ringing out in theaters nationwide.During a scene in the movie when Jason Momoa's character in "A Minecraft Movie" has to fight against the "chicken jockey," or a baby zombie from "Minecraft" saddling a chicken, fans have been yelling the phrase in theaters in sync with Black's character.Here's what to know about "chicken jockey" and the other phrases from "A Minecraft Movie" taking over the internet pixel by pixel.What does 'chicken jockey' mean?"Chicken jockey" refers to a baby zombie riding a chicken. Jack Black's character "Steve" exclaims the phrase in "A Minecraft Movie," a reference to one of the in-game enemies that players may confront when exploring the blocky landscape in a "Minecraft" world. In the game, the chicken jockey is a rare occurrence of a type of baby zombie spawning in a “Minecraft” world where the baby zombie rides astride a chicken, and becomes a speedy and dangerous foe. In the movie and trailer, Momoa's character, Garrett, is forced to fight against an unassuming foe: a chicken. A crate hangs above the chicken and drops a baby zombie onto the chicken's back. Hence, as Steve explaims, "Chicken jockey!"(This is not to be confused with "Steve's Lava Chicken," which is an entirely separate scene, and meme.)Why is the internet obsessed with 'chicken jockey?'After the release of the "A Minecraft Movie" trailer, the internet swiftly reacted to Jack Black exclaiming "chicken jockey," along with other phrases featured in the film.For some, Black's enthusiasm was infectious."I'm convinced they just gave jack black a blue shirt and told him to be himself," one fan said in the comments of a TikTok video from March 20, two weeks before the release of the film.Other fans of the game were just excited to see familar in-game icons get the silver screen treatment."The movie is just 2 hours of Jack Black naming most Minecraft items and blocks," said another fan in the comments of the same video.Why are kids shouting chicken jockey during 'A Minecraft Movie?'As soon as "A Minecraft Movie" opened, theaters began to get rowdy. Viral videos circulated showing fans screaming lines from the film, especially "chicken jockey."One mom posted a video of her theater experience in a Facebook post."I’m wondering if anyone else who saw the Minecraft Movie this weekend had the same experience… An almost sold out theater full of tween and teenage kids, mostly boys — literally screaming, cheering and clapping along," Amberly Hash wrote in her caption."Any major characters or statements, they all went berserk! It was awesomely hilarious," she posted. Some audiences took it too far. One theater in New Jersey is refusing to let kids see "A Minecraft Movie" unsupervised due to "completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism," from a group of unsupervised boys, the theater manager wrote in a Facebook post."If your son was at Township Theatre last night, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with him about his behavior," the post continued.In some cases, police have been called to the theater to escort out disruptors of the film, as documented in a TikTok.Steve enters "the Nether" in "A Minecraft Movie"Warner Bros. via YouTubeOther catchprases from "A Minecraft Movie"When Black's character Steve introduces himself in the movie, he says, with a dramatic pause, "I ... am Steve!" The line delivery has spawned various internet memes. Other popular lines include "flint and steel," referencing tools Steve uses, and "the Nether," an in-game underworld and another popular line delivery from Black.Jack Black as Steve saying "flint and steel" in "A Minecraft Movie."Warner Bros. via YouTubeOther phrases that have sparked theatrical reactions include when Steve introduces "the villagers," in-game non-player characters that love eating bread or, according to Steve, "crushing loaf" — another meme'd line from the movie.
- ['Chicken jockey' disrupts cinemas as Minecraft movie proves hit - The New Daily](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/chicken-jockey-disrupts-cinemas-as-minecraft-movie-proves-hit-the-new-daily/) - While the Minecraft Movie has defied its lacklustre reviews to prove a box office hit, one aspect of the movie and its followers has cinemas concerned.Starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, Minecraft has dominated the box office this year so far, raking in US$313 million ($519 million) worldwide after its opening weekend.But one scene, and the the reaction from young moviegoers, has led to police being called to cinemas and warnings being issued to viewers over possible disruptions.The so called “chicken jockey” trend, involves viewers yelling and pelting the cinema screen with drinks and popcorn after Black uses the phrase at the sight of a mini zombie riding a chicken in the movie.Social media, predictably, features several videos showing the reaction, with at least two including police intervention.The REEL Cinema in the British town of Fareham was forced to issue a warning after the “chicken jockey” trend disrupted a weekend screening.“Disruptive behaviour, including taking part in TikTok trends, before, during, or after a screening will not be tolerated,” the cinema said.“Anyone causing disruption will be asked to leave, and where necessary, the police will be called.”Pamela Abby, Warner Brothers CEO, said the studio was “just thrilled that audiences are responding and that everyone’s going to the theatre”.It was unclear if Abby was aware of the disruptive behaviour at the time of issuing the statement.While reviews for A Minecraft Movie have not been good – variously describing it as “a hot pink mess”, “cobbled together” and “good enough — if you think that’s all kids deserve” – its success has been undeniable.The movie has surpassed expectations – and 2023 hit Barbie – to become Warner Brothers ‘ best post-pandemic opening weekend.Based on the hugely popular video game, A Minecraft Movie has been much anticipated by young audiences and recognisable scenes from the trailers and Minecraft lore are receiving rapturous responses.“My theatre clapped every time Jack Black name-dropped a Minecraft item that was in the trailers, and when he said ‘chicken jockey’, I sh-t you not the entire row in front of me gave a standing ovation,” wrote X user @Schaffrillas in a viral post with more than 1.2 million views. Another X user, @thekinocorner, described watching the movie in a packed cinema as “the wildest theatre experience of my life”, noting that the audience of mostly preteens was “cheering, clapping, and jumping onto the tops of seats”. The fan interaction interaction has been compared to that of dedicated Rocky Horror Picture Show moviegoers who for decades have turned the movie into a cult experience where they dress as characters and sing along to each song. It also follows the release of the move adaptation of the musical Wicked last year, which prompted theatre chains ask viewers to not sing along with stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. In 2022, a similar phenomenon occurred when fans of family movie Minions: The Rise of Gru prompted the #gentleMinions trend. Viral TikTok videos at the time showed young people dressed in suits, watching the movie in large groups and cheering loudly during the screening. Source: TikTok/Bill Hirst Cinemas reported having to eject patrons, issue warning and compensate moviegoers complaining about the behaviour.

It warned that “unaccompanied groups of boys will not be admitted.”“If your son was at Township Theatre last night, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with him about his behavior. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for all of our guests,” the theater said on Facebook. “A Minecraft Movie,” based on the wildly popular video game, opened in theaters Friday and stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa.

Black’s much-memed delivery of the line, which was previously teased in a trailer for the Warner Bros. box-office blockbuster, has been causing chaos in movie theaters around the world. Audiences are yelling the phrase (which is a Minecraft term for the rare occurrence of a baby zombie riding on a chicken), throwing popcorn in the air, getting to their feet to applaud, and — of course — holding their phones up to record the chaos. Some corners of the internet have begun suggesting that this film is Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a cult classic film known for boisterous screenings. “I saw Minecraft in the theater with my kids last night and am still processing what I saw,” actor Roger Clark tweeted on April 6. “The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.” Reports of rowdy behavior have been trickling in since the movie, which also stars Jason Momoa, arrived in theaters on April 4. Filmmaker and YouTuber The Kino Corner described witnessing a crowd of mostly middle schoolers erupt “into sheer pandemonium” when they heard the “chicken jockey” line during an April 4 screening at an AMC theater in Austin, Texas. “Kids were cheering, clapping, and jumping onto the tops of seats,” he tweeted. “Whenever Jack Black sang, the kids would get up and start dancing in the aisles. They acted like this wasn’t a movie, but a rock concert.” A TikTok posted by @salesmenpod showed the aftermath of another opening-night screening in Seaford, New York where a group of kids ended up getting escorted out of a theater by police. And on April 5, a New Jersey theater stated on Facebook that minors will no longer be able to see A Minecraft Movie without parent supervision, alleging that a large group of “unsupervised boys engaged in completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism” during a showing the night before. Although crowds are reacting to moments throughout the film, “chicken jockey” has emerged as the face of this audience-participation trend; British cinema operator Cineworld recently announced special “Chicken Jockey screenings” in 4DX where audiences will be free to dress up and engage in “whooping, clapping and shouting ‘Chicken Jockey’ as you see fit!” All this over a viral moment? The children really do yearn for the mines the memes.

- ['A Minecraft Movie' has made chicken jockey a viral thing | CNN](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/a-minecraft-movie-has-made-chicken-jockey-a-viral-thing-cnn/) - CNN — Leave it to Jack Black to be involved in something over the top. The comedic actor stars in the new hit film “A Minecraft Movie,” which is based on a popular video game. Gamers are nothing if not loyal players and some of that adoration has transferred to the movie. Audiences have been going wild over the film’s chicken jockey scene. Here’s an explanation of what all the hype is about. It is what it sounds like A “chicken jockey” is literally that: a Minecraft baby zombie riding a chicken like a horse. In the viral scene, another of the movie’s stars, Jason Momoa, is seen in a ring with a chicken as Jack Black’s character declares, “It’s a fight to the death, kid!” Then a box descends from the ceiling, dropping an entity on to the back of the chicken as Black yells, “Chicken jockey!” The context Those familiar with the game know that chicken jockeys are rare occurrences. According to the Minecraft game wiki: “Each baby zombie, baby husk, baby zombie villager, baby zombified piglin, or baby drowned that spawns has a 5% chance to check for an existing chicken within a 10×6×10 box centered on the baby’s spawn location and spawn riding one of those chickens if there are any.” “If it fails that 5% chance, there is an additional 5% chance of the baby zombie spawning mounted on a new chicken,” the wiki entry adds. “In a chicken-free environment, each spawned zombie has a 0.25% chance of becoming a chicken jockey; if chickens are present, the chance increases to 0.4875%.” The reaction Movie audiences have been losing it when the scene takes place because of the line’s popularity in the film’s trailer. Footage shared on social media has shown moviegoers screaming, tossing buckets of popcorn in the air and enthusiastically applauding. There have even been reports of police being called to deal with the rowdy behavior, not to mention some theater employees who are unhappy about the cleanup required. One person shared on X the similarity to another film, which also invites audience participation. I saw Minecraft in the theater with my kids last night and am still processing what I saw. The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.— Roger Clark (@rclark98) April 6, 2025 “I saw Minecraft in the theater with my kids last night and am still processing what I saw,” he wrote. “The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.” The viral trend of reacting to chicken jockey will probably keep pecking away given the film’s popularity. “A Minecraft Movie,” distributed by Warner Bros. Studios, racked up almost $163 million in box office receipts during opening weekend. Warner Bros. Studios, like CNN, is part of Warner Bros. Discovery.
- [Free Random Perk Easter Egg guide in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil - Sportskeeda](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/free-random-perk-easter-egg-guide-in-black-ops-6-zombies-shattered-veil-sportskeeda/) - A new Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil grants you a Random Perk. However, it's not straightforward; you’ll need to progress through the main quest to achieve it. Keep in mind that it’s a lengthy process where you must advance through the main quest and meet all the required conditions. This guide offers a step-by-step walkthrough to help you complete the free Random Perk Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil. Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil: Free Random Perk easter egg guide To acquire a free Random Perk in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil, you'll need to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II to its W (blue) variant and indulge in the associated Ritual challenge. Completing the full Ritual isn’t necessary, but you must obtain the Ritual Item. Once that’s done, ringing the bell 115 to 120 times will reward you with the Random Perk. Here’s a complete step-by-step walkthrough: Step 1: Collect the Ray Gun Mark II Start by progressing through the guided missions and reach at least Round 10. From this point onward, a special zombie called the Lab Technician (with glowing purple eyes) will spawn. Eliminate it to obtain a Floppy Disk. Next, head to the East Foyer and interact with the computer to print out a code. Memorize or note it down. Now, go to the Nursery, near the PhD Flopper perk, and use the chalkboard there to decipher the code. Once deciphered, proceed to the Service Tunnel, enter the code, and release the Doppleghast. Defeat it to collect the Severed Arm. Collect the Ray Gun Mark II in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Take the arm to the Supply Depot, where the Armory is located. Inside, use the Severed Arm to unlock and collect the Ray Gun Mark II. Step 2: Upgrade to the Ray Gun Mark II-W (Blue variant) To get the W variant, you’ll first need an Empty Canister. The easiest way is by picking up the LT53 Kazimir, which you can find for free in the Service Tunnel in the hands of a fallen zombie near the damaged truck. Alternatively, you can buy it from the crafting table for 1500 Salvage. Collect the Empty Canister in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Head to the Rear Patio, just behind the Double Tap perk. Throw the Kazimir device outside the zombie spawn window. The vortex will pull out an Empty Canister from within. Now, take this canister to Shem's Henge, just in front of the Speed Cola perk. Place it into the machine there. This will spawn an Abomination; do not kill it. Instead, use its beam attack to hit three small stones and turn them blue. Then, let its charge attack hit those same stones, causing them to float. Once all three stones are activated, the Abomination will die automatically. Activate the three rocks and defend the extractor in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Now, defend the extractor in the center of the area from Vermins. Make sure they don’t interrupt the energy collection process. Once it reaches 100%, collect the Explosive Canister from the machine. Return to the Supply Depot and use the yellow workbench to craft the Ray Gun Mark II-W. Step 3: Indulge in the Ritual challenge Head to the small chamber next to the Banquet Hall, where you'll find a Lantern piece inside a box near the wall-mounted deer heads. Pick it up and take it to the T-Rex room. Complete the blinking lights puzzle in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) There, place the Lantern piece in the wall slot on the western wall. This will activate a Simon Says blinking light puzzle. Complete the sequence to open a hidden room. Enter the room, activate the painting, and kill the zombies using your Ray Gun Mark II-W until the painting turns into a portal. Next, go to the Study and search the glass shelf to find the Bell item. Collect it and return to the T-Rex room.

Collect the Ritual item in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Kill zombies using your Brain Rot-equipped weapon. Once a zombie becomes brain-rotted, ring the Bell. The infected zombie will jump over the counter and drop the Ritual Item. Once you have the Ritual Item, all the prerequisites are complete.

That's thanks in large part to the BlackCell Battle Pass, animated Operators like R0-Z3, and some other goodies. One of the most eye-catching additions is the BlackCell Battle Pass itself. R0-Z3, an animated operator who looks like he just stepped out of a futuristic comic book, is leading the charge in the premium BlackCell tier. You'll also see Hudson—the CIA's icy corrector—and Mace—the ex-Spec Ops bruiser—returning with new BlackCell skins. Zombies Shattered Veil's Easter Egg will give you some free perks. And after what feels like an eternity, the Verdansk map is back in Warzone. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, that's what Season 3 has in store for you. R0-Z3 is the face of the BlackCell Battle Pass. Leading the Black Ops 6 Battle Pass is R0-Z3, a fully animated operator who looks straight out of a sci-fi comic book. There are hints to Modern Warfare's Roze in R0-Z3, who is exclusive to the premium BlackCell tier and signifies the bold look of the season. Returning Operators include Hudson, the cold CIA planner, and Mace, the ex-Special Forces tough guy, each sporting their own new BlackCell operator skin. Zombies Easter Egg: How to Get a Free Random Perk in Shattered Veil Players in the Shattered Veil map in Zombies can now get a free random perk using one of the most elaborate Easter Eggs to date. Here are the simplified steps: Step 1: Kill a Lab Technician zombie (Round 10) to get a floppy disk Step 2: Solve the chalkboard code and activate the service tunnel. Step 3: Beat the Doppleghast boss to get a severed arm. Step 4: Use it to get the Ray Gun Mark II, then upgrade to Ray Gun Mark II-W. Step 5: Ring the bell 115+ times to get the perk. Two optional methods—Ghost Jumpscare Easter Egg and the Sleepwalking stealth challenge—also give perk rewards. This side quest is becoming a fan favorite for Zombies players looking to get perks without spending in-game cash. What’s in the Call of Duty Season 3 Battle Pass? The Season 3 Battle Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone has: Over 100 rewards Two new base weapons Animated Operator skins Mastercraft weapons like the Energy Siphon Finishing moves including “Goodest Boy” Exclusive emotes and blueprints BlackCell Loyalty XP bonus, up to 50% for long-time buyers An extra daily challenge across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes This makes the BlackCell tier more worth it for hardcore players grinding XP and cosmetics. Verdansk Map in Warzone Season 3 The return of Verdansk—the Warzone map that started it all—was one of the season's biggest surprises. That iconic map is back, complete with the original Gulag and locations like Superstore and Hospital. Long-time players get to drop back in and play where they started. Those visual updates and new ways to traverse the map create a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation. You'll feel right at home in Verdansk, yet still experience the thrill of new discovery. Is the BlackCell Pass Worth It in Season 3? The BlackCell Battle Pass offers a lot more than just cosmetic upgrades. You'll get R0-Z3 and elite skins, XP challenges, more custom loadouts, and faster progression in all modes. The free tier gives you some solid base rewards, but buying the BlackCell Pass really gives you an edge in every match. Call of Duty Season 3 Hits Hard Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone packs a punch. New operators, a tricky Zombies Easter egg to crack, and the return of Verdansk make for a season with a lot of depth. And that BlackCell Battle Pass adds some seriously nice visuals to the game. Competitive players will love the value it offers. Whether you're unlocking perks in Zombies or revisiting a classic firefight zone, Season 3 gives fans new reasons to grind—and old-school players plenty of reasons to come back.

- [Four cool games releasing this week (April 7-13) - GTOGG](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/four-cool-games-releasing-this-week-april-7-13-gtogg/) - Looking for some interesting games to check out this week? Well, look no further. Here are four that we believe are worth keeping an eye on!Commandos: Origins (April 9)One of the great elders of the isometric stealth genre is getting a new installment this week in the form of Commandos: Origins. Also, if you're wondering if it's a remake – well, no. Origins is being described as a brand-new game with fresh missions and a new storyline, all the while featuring the classic Commandos cast you know and love, led by Jack O’Hara, the one and only Green Beret.The Talos Principle: Reawakened (April 10)The original Talos Principle returns, now rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. The game is most certainly more than just a remaster, though, as in addition to a graphical facelift, it's also getting expanded content: namely, an entirely new chapter – called In the Beginning – that deals with the circumstances of the Simulation’s first test, as well as a Puzzle Editor for creative souls hoping to build their very own brain teasers.Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days (April 10)A zombie survival game set in the 1980s, except the action plays out from a side-scrolling 2.5D perspective. The undead hordes are out there and thirst for blood, but barricading yourself away in a single location isn't necessarily the best option: if one place gets too dangerous, you need to venture out into the unknown to find a new safe haven before it's too late.Blue Prince (April 10)A game as mysterious as it is fascinating, Blue Prince has you explore a mansion with constantly shifting rooms that change every day. Every time you reach a door, it's up to you to decide what kind of room will be on the other side, but at dawn, the rooms will reset, so nothing truly stays the same. The whole setup certainly feels like a mystery and a half – one that sounds like it will be worth diving into.
- [Shattered Veil Story Easter Egg Guide For Call Of Duty Black Ops 6 - GameSpot](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/shattered-veil-story-easter-egg-guide-for-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-gamespot/) - Boss fightOnce you're all geared up and the steps are complete, head to the Mainframe Chamber and interact with the device in front of S.A.M.There will be an action-filled cutscene before the fight, but it might be worth skipping on your first try. There is currently a bug with the cutscene that can cause one or more players to get stuck on a white screen. This unfortunately hindered my first boss fight attempt, as one teammate was unable to help or even watch. Some players suggest skipping the scene can help prevent the bug from even occurring.This is definitely one of the coolest Zombies bosses in recent years, allowing you to face off against an undead T-Rex. You'll want to aim for the critical spots on the dino, which include the eyes, the glowing patches that eventually appear on the sides and back, as well as the mouth while its puking acid.There are four phases to the fight, and you'll know when the phase is changing because the boss will jump onto a cliff and become immune for a short time. It's best to save a chopper gunner for each phase, if possible. Defeat the zombie T-Rex to complete this main quest and receive a final story cutscene.

Each map, whether it is a decayed slaughterhouse, echoing catacombs, or an abandoned prison, is a puzzle waiting to be solved. Hidden supplies offer a fleeting advantage, while traps let you turn debris, explosives, and even zombies into deadly projectiles.

- [The Last of Us co-creators: 'There aren't many games that are great because the story is great'](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/the-last-of-us-co-creators-there-arent-many-games-that-are-great-because-the-story-is-great/) - “There are some zombies, I’m not going to lie, and they are scary,” he adds with a ready – even proud – smile. “But what they represent is the danger of the world around us. The danger of nature. So, we do not make this for one kind of person – we make it for everyone.”Prior to the unveiling of the long-in-development TV interpretation of The Last of Us, expectations were mixed. Fans of the video game were proprietorially concerned about how their beloved characters – heroic Joel, guardian of plucky Ellie, the teenager whose immunity to zombie infection could save the world – would translate to a different medium.Culture-watchers knew that transforming interactive video games – whether Halo, Super Mario or, most recently, Cate Blanchett box-office bomb Borderlands – into engaging big- or small-screen drama was a rocky road. Regular TV viewers questioned the appeal of yet another zombie apocalypse survival thriller.Well, hold on to your joysticks... Mirroring the blockbuster sales of its source IP, The Last of Us, which debuted on Sky in January 2023, was a triumph of gripping, beautiful, humanistic and, yes, terrifying storytelling starring The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal as Joel and Game of Thrones’ Bella Ramsey as Ellie, battling their way across a zombie-plagued America.It made British actor Ramsey, 17 when they began filming, a global star, and Pascal an online phenomenon. One episode, Long, Long Time, starring Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus) and Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), a tender, intimate story of love in the face of global doom, became a sensation in its own right. Overall, the nine-episode series was HBO’s most watched debut season ever. At the following year’s Emmys, The Last of Us won eight of the 24 awards for which it was nominated.Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us. HBONow comes the second season, based on the video game’s Part II, in which we catch up with Ellie and Joel five years later (“Happy new year 2029” runs the banner at a festive party). They’re safe, relatively speaking, in a fortified community in snowbound Jackson, Wyoming. Safe, that is, apart from the traditional teenage/father-figure tension plaguing the relationship between Nirvana-playing, sexuality-exploring Ellie and overprotective Joel. And apart from the fact that the fungally infected undead who still encircle the compound just might be evolving…“We see that they’ve actually gotten very good at this,” explains Mazin, who has previous experience of creating TV drama dealing with disasters in the form of the awards-hoovering Chernobyl (2019). “They are no longer scared of confronting a stalker or two. They know how to kill them easily, and they have patrols… But of course, while they are progressing, so too is nature. And it’s the progress of Jackson – the fact that they have to expand and renovate old homes to bring in refugees [fleeing the undead] and house them – that is what disturbs the evolutionary balance.”Joining as a newcomer, playing Abby, a vengeful militia member out to kill Joel, is Kaitlyn Dever. Although the 28-year-old American star of Booksmart and Dopesick is, in fact, an “oldcomer” – she was attached to the part of Ellie when Neil Druckmann, the second showrunner and the video game’s co-developer, was first in talks to adapt The Last of Us. That was over a decade ago, which is how long it’s taken to get this right for television.The video game’s creation obviously dates even further back. It’s earliest iteration came while Druckmann was studying for a Master’s in the entertainment technology programme at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University. For an assignment, students had to come up with a video game based on 1968’s Night of the Living Dead and pitch it to the film’s director, George Romero (a friend of Druckmann’s professor). “Then George would pick his favourite and we would develop that over the semester as a game prototype.”Lifelong horror fan Druckmann duly came up with a concept influenced by that year-zero zombie movie. His pitch to Romero: “You play a cop who lost his daughter in this zombie apocalypse world. Then, there’s another girl, her parents were divorced [and] she’s lost her dad. These two characters have to team up and cross the country. You would start playing as the older man with a heart condition. And whenever his heart condition would act up, you would play as the girl. I really wanted to play with the idea of, ‘Who is the protector? Who is the hero in the story?’”Danny Ramirez as Manny, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Ariela Barer as Mel, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Spencer Lord as Owen in The Last of Us. HBOUnfortunately, Romero wasn’t persuaded by the pitch and the class went with another student’s submission. “But I was intrigued by this concept. I started working on it as a comic book, but that didn’t really go anywhere. Eventually, I got a job at Naughty Dog, and I got to pitch the game again years later. And that became The Last of Us.”After its 2013 launch by Naughty Dog, “People outside of the games industry would tell me how much The Last of Us resonated with them,” remembers Druckmann. The offers to adapt it came thick and fast. But having gone “through a lot of false starts” trying to adapt another Naughty Dog game called Uncharted, Druckmann was pessimistic. “We were a bit disillusioned about the whole endeavour. So, for a long time, we said: ‘Let’s not do it. It’s just going to be another waste of time.’”Then came Mazin’s Chernobyl, the compulsively binge-worthy drama retelling humankind’s worst ever nuclear accident. “It’s material that, on the surface, should be unwatchable,” says Druckmann. “It’s just so dark. But when I did watch it, I felt like I was watching an incredible thriller.”By entering your details you are agreeing to our terms and conditions and privacy policy.

There aren’t many games that are great because the story and the central relationship are great.It’s just not as common, because it is not the priority of the medium. But The Last of Us managed to do both things beautifully. It was incredibly entertaining to play and it had a remarkable narrative at its heart. I’ve wanted to make this adaptation ever since I played it for the first time.”Radio Times.The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here.The Last of Us season 1 is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW with an Entertainment Membership.

- [The Last of Us season 2 first-look review — this zombie show is still oddly soulful](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/08/the-last-of-us-season-2-first-look-review-this-zombie-show-is-still-oddly-soulful/) - Two years since it blew up the internet for being a video game adaptation that was — shock, horror (and there was a lot of that) — actually very good, The Last of Us (Sky/Now) is back. And it’s a return that invites a degree of “difficult second album” expectation, given how this thinking man’s Walking Dead was like a hit out of nowhere. Fans can rest easy. As game adaptations go, this is the polar opposite of A Minecraft Movie; rather, the post-pandemic hellscape still has all its familiar scares and soul-searching, now with some bona fide bombshells thrown in. There are moments that will leave your jaw falling into your popcorn like few other shows.The first two episodes come out of the gates as if the show’s writer Craig Mazin is playing the hits: there is the effortlessly soulful Pedro Pascal as Joel, struggling with his surrogate paternal feelings towards recalcitrant teenager Ellie (Bella Ramsey); there is the plucked acoustic guitar over shots of a wintry Wyoming; and there are of course those hideous fungal monstrosities — zombies, for all intents and purposes — which really are still enough to given you tendril-sprouting nightmares. Yet what still strikes you most is that distinctively intelligent and mournful feel. Mazin, the man behind Chernobyl after all, ensures that his opus is primarily about relationships, not exploding viscera.That said, let’s really hope cordyceps or other such fungi never start playing with our brains. At one point, the disquieting image of a cohort of mutants frozen into ice precedes a moment that obeys a basic screen rule: zombies are insatiably bloodthirsty. Such scenes betray the video game origins — and that’s also the case every time there’s another gun-led stalk through a gloomy derelict building —yet a siege featuring an almighty “bloater” is handled with an intensity not far off Saving Private Ryan’s opening scenes. Things are five years on (series one spoilers ahead) and Joel and Ellie are settled in the snowy town of Jackson. She’s 19, as tough as a kickboxing champ and itching to become part of the community’s patrol. She is also, you will recall, apparently the one person in the world immune to the contagious spores responsible for the apocalypse. AdvertisementThat she is not talking to Joel — who is seeing a shrink, played drily and rather magnificently by Catherine O’Hara — initially leads you to assume this may be to do with series one’s brutal climax: that was when Joel gunned down the medics who were about to operate on Ellie to create a world-saving vaccine. She would have been killed by the procedure. He, however, couldn’t bear to lose the person he’d come to love as a daughter.Similar moral questions course through series two: who do you save and why? How much do you prioritise personal reasons for such actions over ones that would benefit the group? The Last of Us elevates itself further in the other ways it explores human nature. A casually progressive view of sexuality — which underpinned the first series’ most celebrated episode (the story of Bill and Frank) — continues via Ellie’s feelings towards her straight friend Dina (Isabela Merced). The complexities of an emerging love story are mined with care, although this storyline contributes to some uneven plotting during a central stretch where a sense of repetitiveness also sets in: more ruined landscapes, more communities that have resorted to militarist brutality or chilling religious cults.But then an episode comes along that floors you with its tenderness: the sixth episode here is that knockout hour of TV. Suffice to say, the characters are in inner pain — none more so than Joel and Ellie — so when moments of joy come, they feel truly earned, glints of something precious in a rainy gutter. When it hits those big moments, The Last of Us again feels like something special.★★★★★The Last of Us series 2 is out on Sky/Now on April 14

At least two incidents have even ended with police intervention.A chicken jockey is a baby zombie riding a chicken, a rare occurrence in Minecraft. Thanks to TikTok and whatever it is that compels humans to engage in weird collective behavior, the part of A Minecraft Movie where Jack Black sees a chicken jockey and shouts "chicken jockey!" has become a thing, and over the weekend kids in some theaters went wild for the line, shouting, recording with their phones, and launching popcorn into the airspace above the other theater goers. @salesmenpod ♬ original sound - Salesmen: After Hours At the end of the video above, police are seen escorting a group of kids out of the theater. It's unclear what they did that the others didn't.As actor Roger Clark—voice of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2—observed, we're not yet a week into A Minecraft Movie's theater run and it's already developed a Rocky Horror Picture Show-style audience participation tradition."High school kids and adolescents alike screaming random Jack Black lines because of YouTube shorts and TikToks," the actor said on X. "Never seen anything like that before."I saw Minecraft in the theater with my kids last night and am still processing what I saw. The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.April 6, 2025Looks like the teens have decided to remind Millennials and Gen X that while we might've pioneered a life of ironic-yet-obsessive pop culture appreciation, they were born into it. And they were raised on Minecraft, too, so it's no surprise that A Minecraft Movie had the biggest ever opening weekend for a videogame adaptation.The video above shows one of the more dramatic Minecraft Movie eruptions, but they were all over social media feeds this past weekend, and it isn't just the chicken jockey scene getting a reaction.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.In another video with police involvement, embedded below, an officer says that a group "body slammed" a theater employee.

- [7 Horror Remakes Nobody Really Needed - MovieMaker Magazine](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/7-horror-remakes-nobody-really-needed-moviemaker-magazine/) - These eight horror remakes tried to improve on movies that were quite good to begin with. In honor of Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu — which is thriving at the box office and does seem to meet audience demands — and the new Leigh Whannell version of The Wolf Man, which is in theaters this weekend, and for which we have high hopes — here are eight horror remakes nobody really needed. Night of the Living Dead (1990) Columbia Pictures We love Candyman veteran Tony Todd as the lead. We love makeup maestro Tom Savini as the director. But this movie just wasn’t necessary, because the 1968 original is — in its DIY, low-budget, black and white simplicity — perfect. This remake of George A. Romero’s hugely influential genre classic isn’t awful so much as it is kind of pointless — especially with Romero staying on as screenwriter and executive producer. While the story remains basically the same — a group of survivors hole up inside an abandoned farmhouse during a zombie attack — the original’s unnerving, documentary-style realism is replaced with a generic horror flick atmosphere. This time, Barbara (Patricia Tallman) isn’t a fragile woman scared for her life, but an accomplished killer of the living dead. While the zombie makeup effects are noticeably improved (thanks to Savini, no surprise), this version loses the impact of the shocking, powerful finale of the original. (Which is, by the way, on our list of 12 Movies That Made More than 100 Times Their Budget.) When it comes to horror remakes, we’re always going to prefer a movie that improves on the best aspects of an imperfect original — like 2004’s Dawn of the Dead — over a film that tries fix what ain’t broke. The Haunting (1999) DreamWorks Pictures With this horror remake, Robert Wise’s chilling 1963 haunted house movie (based on Shirley Jackson’s acclaimed novel, The Haunting of Hill House) is transformed into a big-budget Hollywood disaster. The movie centers around the conflict between a team of paranormal investigators (Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones among them) and the foreboding mansion in which they are determined to spend several nights. The original Haunting is a masterpiece of implied horror, as very little in the film is actually seen. Instead, the unnerving sound effects and disorienting camera work merely suggest the scares, to terrifying effect. By contrast, this, one of the more misbegotten horror remakes, replaces the understated scares of the original with CGI effects that aren’t effective. Directors of horror remakes — and all remakes — should look at this film as an example of how CGI can take audiences out of a movie. (This one arrived in that awkward dawn of a new millennium era when CGI was possible, but not exactly convincing. (See also our list of 11 Movies Cursed by Bad CGI.) The Wicker Man (2006) Warner Bros. Pictures Some might say there’s no need to re-imagine the 1973 Christopher Lee cult classic. Yet, due in part to Nicolas Cage’s ability to keep a straight face while saying the most absurd lines, the movie provides a kind of perverse fascination. Cage stars as a policeman who discovers a secretive community while investigating the disappearance of a young girl on a mysterious island. We also like Twin Peaks veteran Angelo Badalamenti’s score, as we like all Badalamenti’s scores. Last House on the Left (2009) Universal Pictures – Credit: C/O This update of the 1972 Wes Craven film is very well-crafted, consistently suspenseful and frightening, as well as very well-acted. So why is it on this list? Because it still can’t match the lightning-in-a-dirty-bottle terror of the original. The 1970s hippie-cult sadism of the 1972 Last House on the Left is endlessly upsetting, and the original has a mean streak that still creeps us out today. The worst thing we can say about this version is that it ends up being kind of hopeful, which undercuts the perfect bleakness of the original. There are some movies so effective that you shouldn’t even try to remake them, and Last House on the Left is among them. Though we will say that the director of this remake, Dennis Iliadis, did as well as anyone could have done. He also had the blessing and help of original Last House on the Left director Wes Craven. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) New Line Cinema – Credit: C/O On the other hand, when Wes Craven objects to a remake of one of his movies, maybe you should listen. The 1984 Nightmare on Elm Street is a pretty flawless horror movie — and its imperfections only add to its peculiar charm. “It does hurt,” Craven told IGN of the remake. “It does because it’s such an important film for me that, unfortunately, when I signed the original contract, I gave up all rights to it and so there’s nothing I can do about it”. The new version had the excellent Jackie Earle Haley taking over Freddie Krueger’s striped shirt, fedora and claws, but come on. There’s only one Freddie, and his name is Robert Englund. Also, the decision to CGI Freddie and make get rid of his terrible jokes made the character much less memorable. Also, Rooney Mara, who plays Nancy in the film, said recently on the LaunchLeft podcast that it “was not a good experience,” and almost led her to quit acting. “I have to be careful with what I say and how I talk about it. It wasn’t the best experience making it and I got to this place, that I still live in, that I don’t want to act unless I’m doing stuff that I feel like I have to do. So after making that film, I decided, ‘OK, I’m just not going to act anymore unless it’s something that I feel that way about.'” The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Erica Leerhsen, left, and Jessica Biel in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. New Line Cinema – Credit: C/O We liked Jessica Biel in the lead, and the entire cast, really, but this 30-years-later remake of the 1972 original wasn’t necessary, and modern filmmaking techniques take away from the grimy effectiveness of the original. Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel, co-creators of the original, returned for this one, and we’re glad they made some money, but the original is the one we’ll always remember. Psycho (1998) Universal Pictures Van Sant’s shot-for-shot update of the Hitchcock classic is widely regarded as one of the least necessary remakes of all time. Using Joseph Stefano’s original script, the new and unimproved Psycho makes a crucial miscasting: Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. Anthony Perkins, the original Norman, had a natural boy-next-door quality, which made the film’s twist ending that much more surprising and rewarding. By contrast, in the remake, the looming, neurotic Vaughn seems off his rocker as soon as he speaks, which makes the film significantly less creepy. The story also loses much of its power by being shot in color, as opposed to the black-and-white original. Ironically, that shower scene — with the late Anne Heche as Marion Crane — isn’t nearly as scary when it’s in color. Still, the whole concept is interesting enough. Carrie (2013) MGM This original 1976 Carrie is almost impossible to match in terms of creepiness and sheer horror — the adaptation of Stephen King’s first novel includes, famously, a literal bucket of blood. And the grainy ’70s film adds to the near-nauseating menace of Brian De Palma’s classic. Then there’s the additional thrill of seeing John Travolta — looking his most young and wholesome — doing unspeakably cruel things just for a laugh. The 2013 Carrie remake was fine, and we definitely understand the concept of pairing acclaimed Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce with fantastic actresses Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her repressive mom. But the original Carrie didn’t work because it had A-listers. Like Last House on the Left, it worked because it seemed to come out of nowhere, with a shockingly new cynicism that was genuinely scary, and seemed to herald a new, crueler way of life.

We have an update and news that it won’t be the final film; plenty more will come. A Rich History of Deadite Slaying Action Sam Raimi, the mastermind behind it all, kicked things off way back in ’81 with the original The Evil Dead. That movie? Pure, raw horror. And it kept going, spawning Evil Dead II in ’87 and Army of Darkness in ’93, which went full-on medieval mayhem. Let’s not forget “Ash vs Evil Dead,” the series that brought Bruce Campbell’s Ash back for more chainsaw-wielding, deadite-slaying action. During our interview with Bruce Campbell, he discussed the series connections and more; it’s worth checking out. New Mayhem Then, things got a little rebooted, or maybe more like re-energized, with Fede Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead. That one was brutal and seriously intense and exists in its own corner of the Evil Dead world. However, it still has those creepy connections to the originals. And then, we got Evil Dead Rise in 2023, which took the whole “deadite invasion” thing to an entire new apartment building-sized level of terror. But here’s the kicker: It sounds like we’re just getting started. Word on the street is that the Evil Dead crew has some serious plans brewing. Like, they’re not just resting on their laurels; they’re actively cooking up more nightmares. Apparently, they’re already knee-deep in making Evil Dead Burn, which will be the sixth movie in the series. They’re even talking about a seventh. But that’s not all! They also hint at fresh, new Evil Dead stories we haven’t heard about yet. They’re saying if these new concepts take off, we could look at even more future installments. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema CCO Richard Brener stated, “We have a lot of great stuff in the works, and we’re also making our second Evil Dead movie [Evil Dead Burn] with plans for a third as well. But there are also new fresh ones that you haven’t heard of that we believe, in success, we’ll have multiple installments.”

- [Why are people shouting “chicken jockey” during A Minecraft Movie? | Popverse](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/why-are-people-shouting-chicken-jockey-during-a-minecraft-movie-popverse/) - What’s the big deal with chicken jockeys? You might be asking this question after seeing A Minecraft Movie. Or maybe you’ve seen some of the theater footage on social media where moviegoers erupt in cheers and applause as Jack Black says the line. Some take it a step further, throwing food, jumping, and running through the aisles. Some moviegoers have even noted that the theater reactions to chicken jockey rivals the reaction audiences had when Captain America held Mjolnir during Avengers: Endgame. Having been to three screenings of the movie this past weekend, I can assure you that’s the case. Some screenings have been so wild that managers have had to kick people out of the theater, and in some cases call the police. If you’re feeling old or out of touch, let me explain what this is all about. What is a chicken jockey? A chicken Jockey is a mob (enemy creature) from the video game Minecraft. It’s a small creature riding a chicken. The movie featured a baby zombie, but a chicken jockey can also be a baby zombified piglin, a baby husk, or a baby zombie villager. As long as it’s a tiny enemy mob riding a chicken, it’s a chicken jockey. Is chicken jockey important to Minecraft? People are cheering for the appearance of the chicken jockey as if it was a big character cameo in a Marvel film. This might lead you believe that chicken jockeys are a big deal. So, are chicken jockeys important? No, not at all. If you were to list the most iconic mobs in Minecraft, chicken jockey probably wouldn’t make the top ten. Other enemy mobs like creepers, zombies, and endermen are far more iconic. Yet their onscreen introductions didn’t get the big applause the chicken jockey scene got. Why is that? Why are people losing their minds over the chicken jockey scene? In a word, it’s Gen Z being irreverent. The chicken jockey line was in the trailer, and thanks to TikTok it became somewhat a meme before the release of the film. It’s always hard to explain how something became a meme, but part of it has to do with the prominence of the line in the trailer, and the way Jack Black pours his soul into the delivery. Plus, shouting chicken jockey is just fun. At least that’s what the Gen Z kids told me after the screening. Thanks to viral videos, things have grown like a snowball rolling down a hill. Now shouting ‘chicken jockey’ is a ritual for people who see Minecraft in theaters. Some theaters seem to be embracing it, while others are trying to keep the reactions from getting out of control. A Minecraft Movie has become Gen Z’s Rocky Horror Picture Show. Warner Bros. did not set out to make a call-and-response audience participation film, but that’s exactly what it’s become.

Viral scene explained - Radio Times](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/what-is-chicken-jockey-in-a-minecraft-movie-viral-scene-explained-radio-times/) - While that success shouldn't be considered too much of a surprise given the massive popularity of the games, what most pundits hadn't foreseen was just how interactive the screenings would be.Just days after the release, several lines in the film – mostly ones said by Jack Black's character Steve – have been taken as an invitation for cinemagoers to join in and react in rather raucous ways, from spontaneous rounds of applause to emptying full buckets of popcorns (some of the reactions have been so over-the-top that police officers have reportedly been called to cinemas).There is one moment in particular that has been especially embraced by fans and led to multiple viral clips, specifically a moment where Black utters the phrase: "Chicken jockey."But what does this actually mean? And why has it gone so viral? Read on for everything you need to know.What is chicken jockey in A Minecraft Movie?The moment in the film – which was first glimpsed in the trailer – occurs during a scene in which Steve (Jack Black) and Garrett Garrison (Jason Momoa) are facing off against a Minecraft chicken in a duel inside a boxing ring.At one point in the scene, a crate descends from on high, from which a baby zombie emerges – which then proceeds to sit atop the chicken, becoming a chicken jockey in the process.It's at this point that Steve utters the popular line, before the baby begins to viscously attack the somewhat helpless Garrett.

- [The Dark Universe Theme Park Land Is Everything The Canceled Horror Franchise Should've Been](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/the-dark-universe-theme-park-land-is-everything-the-canceled-horror-franchise-shouldve-been/) - Universal (This post contains details about the ride queue for Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment at the Epic Universe theme park. It does not contain spoilers from the ride itself.) General audiences have forgotten about the 2017 reboot of "The Mummy" starring Tom Cruise, but many movie fans will remember it forever. Not because it's secretly good (it's not), but because it was the one and only entry in Universal Pictures' Dark Universe, a plan to reintroduce the company's classic monster characters (Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, etc.) to a new audience via a Marvel-flavored series of interconnected horror films. They announced an entire slate, assembled a bunch of movie stars for an infamous group photo, and then watched as "The Mummy" flopped. The Dark Universe was quietly abandoned. Those who remember it, often with a head shake or a chuckle, are those who use it as a perfect example of a cart being put before a horse. Advertisement So those same movie fans can be forgiven for scoffing when it was revealed that Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort's brand new theme park, would have a land called Dark Universe. Specifically, this land would attempt exactly what the failed film franchise failed to pull off — make a collection of bona fide horror icons relevant and exciting for a modern audience. Having now experienced Dark Universe during a media day preview for Epic Universe (my thoughts can be found right over here), I can say this much: The land itself is triumph. And while it succeeds entirely on its own merits as a standalone experience catering to casual visitors and classic horror buffs alike, I'm left with one major reaction as a I reflect on my experiences in the beautifully crafted and brilliantly executed village of Darkmoor: This should've been the Dark Universe movie. Advertisement The village of Darkmoor is the perfect setting for a series of horror movies Jacob Hall When you leave Epic Universe's central hub and enter the portal to Dark Universe, you're greeted with fog, gravestones, and a European village square torn from another age. It's as immersive and impressive as anything you've ever seen in a theme park. Strange characters wander the streets (if you find the Invisible Man, say hi and get ready for his sharp tongue to tear you a new one), and every shop and restaurant is gloomy and often sinister. The land's biggest restaurant is not-so-secretly run by vampires, their gruesome and triumphant spoils lining the walls. Humans can find refuge in the Burning Blade tavern, where local monster hunters swap stories at the bar alongside visiting patrons. And in a lovely touch, every villager (i.e., Universal team member, ride operator, gift shop cashier, etc.) told me "good luck" instead of "have a nice day." Advertisement The result is a place that feels ready-made for literal exploration from you, the theme park enthusiast, but also primed for all kinds of stories to spring from this heart of giddy darkness. A number of small touches make it clear that Darkmoor is set in modern day, but its aesthetic is a community trapped in the past, cursed to live among nightmares, and having made peace with the fact that every day is going to come with the possibility of death and dismemberment. If there's one element of this Dark Universe that I hope survives deep into Epic Universe's run as an operating theme park, it's the team members' commitment to the bit — the droll sense of dark humor embodied by so many people I interacted with sold me on this world just as much as Universal creative's stunning designs. Advertisement The details further set the stage: The classic Universal monster movies (starring the likes of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi) happened, but they happened ages ago, and Darkmoor has spent years dealing with repercussions. This is just life for the folks who live here. There were monsters then, and there are monsters now, and what are we supposed to do about it other than run our shops and hope for the best? Even before you step on a ride, Darkmoor feels like the perfect canvas for a proper Dark Universe movie. Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment has everything you actually wanted from a Dark Universe movie Universal Beyond the Darkmoor village square lies the Frankenstein estate, a towering castle manor that would look like a preserved relic from a previous century if not for the swirling electricity that tends to spiral up its tallest tower. This is the location of Dark Universe's marquee attraction: Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, a high-tech dark ride that ranks among the best in the world. It uses the same technology that Universal first introduced with Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey back in 2010, but it's now simultaneously smoother and wilder — the ride system is built to ensure harrowing close encounters with the many animatronic creatures that lurk within the building itself (enthusiasts will love the focus on practical robot effects, but the high-tech screens are also pulling their weight). Advertisement The premise is indelible. Victoria Frankenstein, great granddaughter of Victor Frankenstein, has returned to her family home to finish her family's work. But she doesn't stop at just assembling a new creature out of stitched-together body parts. In clever "found footage"-style moments showcased throughout the ride queue, we learn that she has captured the classic Universal monsters during a worldwide hunt, and has imprisoned them in the catacombs beneath our feet. And in a series of impeccably executed pre-shows, we learn that Victoria has finally apprehended her greatest quarry yet: the legendary vampire Dracula. But the immortal Count vows to escape, juuuust as we're about to begin our tour of the catacomb prison. In true theme park fashion, things don't go according to plan. Advertisement I certainly won't spoil what happens next, but the pure cinema of this set-up is delightful. Here we are, in a gothic castle commanded by a mad scientist and filled with the monsters who hate her (and by extension, her guests, meaning you). It's a tinderbox, one that certainly feels explosive as you wind your way through the atmospheric queue line and ignites shortly after you're strapped into the ride vehicle. It's a finely balanced blend of horror and action that the ill-fated "Mummy" reboot couldn't capture, and the perfect way to introduce new folks to these characters while honoring what longtime horror dorks like me love about them. How Dark Universe updates the classic Universal monsters Universal It's the deliberate messiness of Monsters Unchained that appeals to people like me, who rewatch the classic black and white Universal monster movies every year. The creatures that inhabit the ride are undeniably dangerous and frightening, and most of them clearly mean you harm. But at the same time ... can you blame them? They're only in this castle because they were brought here against their will, imprisoned by a megalomanic on a power trip. Yes, they're scary, but they're scary because they're angry, and rightfully so. As you find yourself trapped in the battle between this horde of monsters and Victoria Frankenstein, you're forced to reckon with the sadness of the predicament. If the Wolf Man tears your head off, can you really blame him? Advertisement The best Universal monster movies acknowledge that the creatures are, despite outward appearances, as human as the rest of us (and as sad as the rest of us). Monsters Unchained cannot dwell on this during the action-packed events of the ride itself, but it lands with enough force to make you think about it after the fact. "Wait, who's the real monster here?" you wonder as you exit through the gift shop. But even casual folks will be drawn to these takes on the monsters. Victoria Frankenstein's newly created creature is oddly sweet and even heroic. Dracula is a terrifying fount of supernatural evil. They feel simultaneously classic and modern, their updated designs remaining true to their iconic looks while feeling refreshed for a new age. There's a vein of comic book energy running through these new monsters that allows them to have the right amount of action movie energy to power a thrilling theme park ride without losing sight of their stature as horror characters first. It's a tricky balance, and the ride nails it. Advertisement More than anything, Monsters Unchained feels like a modern reinvention of the "monster rally" films from Universal canon, the Avengers-style crossover movies that allowed the various characters to meet up, team up, and usually battle to the death. This could've (and probably should've) been the premise for a film franchise. Victoria Frankenstein (and Igor) are the new stars of the show Universal Sorry, Tom Cruise. The real star of the Dark Universe is Victoria Frankenstein, who very much earns her surname. She's brilliant, egotistical, cruel, passionate, and entirely unable to admit her faults even as her reach exceeds her grasp. We get to know her through the ride queue, eventually meeting her face-to-face via an animatronic character in a staggering pre-show scene. This is a character built to command the room and silence a theme park crowd. One gets the impression that she will never stop, never compromise, and really doesn't care that much if all of the guests in her castle get wiped out because she tried to capture one monster too many. In true Universal monsters fashion, she's the real villain of the attraction. Advertisement In short: I love her. I also love Igor, who is no longer a hunchbacked assistant in charge of menial lab tasks. Re-envisioned as Victoria's right hand man, a slimy engineer and tech genius, he's tasked with the typical theme park spiel explaining ride safety while also having a key role to play in the ongoing storyline. His goofy sense of humor is balanced by his inherent menace and while he's certainly drawing on Universal horror's rich tradition of "eccentric sidekick to the mad scientist," he feels wholly new. We get to spend a lot of time with Igor, and frankly, I wish we had even more. These new (and new-ish) characters radiate a confidence. Universal creative makes a bet that we'll like Victoria and Igor as much as we like the new Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc., and they pull it off. I don't remember who Tom Cruise plays in "The Mummy" (actually, I do, it's Nick Morton, sorry), but I'll never forget the time I spent getting to know Victoria Frankenstein and her crew. This is the kind of character you build a franchise around. Advertisement Could the Dark Universe theme park ride inspire a new Dark Universe movie? Universal It's easy to imagine Monsters Unchained, the village of Darkmoor, and this whole new Dark Universe providing the DNA for a film. Victoria Frankenstein herself feels ready-made for an Emily Blunt or Hayley Atwell type, and the new monster designs feel ripe to make the leap to the big screen. If enough Victoria merchandise sells at the gift shop, I wouldn't be surprised if Universal execs start having some quiet conversations about the next step. Advertisement At the same time, I think this new Dark Universe deserves to exist as a theme park land, and only a theme park land, for at least a little while. Universal's theme park creatives have succeeded so profoundly where the film division failed that they've earned a victory lap. This deserves to be its own thing, its own accomplishment, without the specter of instant corporate synergy threatening to water it down. Darkmoor and the Frankenstein estate are so convincing as locations to explore in-person that I'm not sure I want them flattened out for the big screen just yet. Like the best immersive theme park experiences, they feel like real places, and all the more special since they originated in the parks and not in a movie. Let the new Dark Universe breath. Advertisement But when Universal inevitably decides to bring the monsters back to the big screen once again, they have a new guiding light.

A Minecraft Movie is causing chaos in cinemas and debate over audience etiquette](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/chicken-jockey-a-minecraft-movie-is-causing-chaos-in-cinemas-and-debate-over-audience-etiquette/) - Official reviews of A Minecraft Movie were lukewarm at best and one-star at worst.Various headlines around the world declared the film starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, "cobbled together," "bizarre," a "hyperactive hot-pink mess," a "blunt object used to beat you into submission" and "good enough — if you think that's all kids deserve."But the kids have spoken, and not only has the film adaption of the wildly popular video game smashed box-office records, but it's inspired a rowdy, audience-interactive theatre trend that some observers are describing as The Rocky Horror Picture Show for children. It's also sparked debate over cinema etiquette.Moviegoers have shared videos on social media of audiences clapping, cheering, shouting out lines and throwing popcorn during popular moments in the film, which opened Friday and had earned $163 million US in ticket sales from theaters in the U.S. and Canada over the weekend.One TikTok video with 7.8 million views ranked the top 10 movie moments in the theatre and showed the audience screaming out some of Black's lines like, "flint and steel!" and "I am Steve," and going absolutely feral to "Chicken Jockey!" — the latter referring to a scene where Momoa and Black have to fight a baby zombie riding a chicken."My theater clapped every time Jack Black name dropped a Minecraft item that was in the trailers, and when he said Chicken Jockey I shit you not the entire row in front of me gave a standing ovation," wrote one person in a viral post on X with 1.2 million views."The whole cinema repeated Flint & Steel, I am Steve, and f--king erupted in hooting, hollering and applause after all basically yelling Chicken Jockey," wrote someone else on X.Another described it as "the wildest theatre experience of my life," noting that the audience — mostly preteens — were "cheering, clapping, and jumping onto the tops of seats.""Whenever Jack Black sang, the kids would get up and start dancing in the aisles. They acted like this wasn't a movie, but a rock concert," the poster went on."It was a complete expression of a mix of genuine love for Minecraft and irony poisoning and the result was pure chaos for 100 or so minutes. This is probably the proper way to see this film."Happened to overhear a Chicken Jockey moment pic.twitter.com/TUvwMqrZRq—@InsaneLoke'Rocky Horror for Gen Alpha'The phenomenon has been described online as "peak audience energy," and reminiscent of the fandom and excitement over the Star Wars movies.The viral moments have been compared to the audience interactions by beloved cult classics The Room (where people throw spoons, among other key moments) and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (which has entire scripts and guides dedicated to the sport of watching the film).Online, people have said A Minecraft Movie is basically "Rocky Horror for Gen Alpha and Z."From left, Jack Black, Jason Momoa and Sebastian Hansen are pictured in a scene from A Minecraft Movie, in this image released by Warner Bros.

Following the film's release on Friday, April 4, audiences have gone viral on social media for applauding scenes that include references to the popular 2011 video game the film is based on — including one scene in particular where Jack Black's character Steve says the phrase, "chicken jockey." The scene itself, which partially appeared in the film's trailer, features Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's character Garett Garrison in a boxing ring, where a baby zombie can be seen riding a chicken — a rare occurrence in the Minecraft game. As a result of the line itself already becoming a popular meme ahead of the film's release, young audiences around the world are now filming themselves and their fellow moviegoers reciting and reacting to the phrase, "chicken jockey." In one video, shared by @salesmenpod on TikTok earlier this week, audience members can be seen eagerly awaiting the line with their phones ready to record the theater, before erupting in pandemonium the moment Black's character recites the phrase. While it is unclear where the specific clip was filmed, young theatergoers can be seen throwing popcorn in the air, giving standing ovations and screaming in response to the line. The footage then cuts to the aftermath, where two police officers can be seen apparently escorting a group of children out of the theater. Stock image of a blank cinema screen. Getty "This whole night was surreal and one of the most unforgettable movie experiences I’ve ever had," the TikTok user captioned the clip — which has since earned nearly 2 million likes on the platform as of Monday, April 7. Other "chicken jockey" moments have gone viral on TikTok and X, including one from TikTok user @matthewvietzke, where again, audience members can be seen jumping in the air and cheering at the line. A similar situation transpired in footage shared from inside a theater by Instagram user @c.terlizzi5.

The scene, previously glimpsed in trailers, has become a viral meme - and has sparked wild responses from some cinema goers (mostly, it seems, in the US). Audiences are screaming the words "CHICKEN JOCKEY" as they are spoken by Jack Black's Steve, then standing up and throwing popcorn. Numerous examples of crowds (again, mostly US crowds) reacting to the Chicken Jockey scene spread on social media over the weekend, with some attendees apparently waiting for the moment with loaded popcorn buckets, ready to throw them in the air and over other guests upon the moment in question. Look, I worked in a cinema for several years as a student job, and this sort of thing really boils my piss. Not only are you being a jerk to every other guest in the cinema, you are also creating a ton of extra work for the minimum wage employees who have to come around and sweep all your rubbish off the floor between screenings. Oh, and it's just a waste of food. Here are a couple of clips, as dug up by IGN: To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Well, in Minecraft itself, these enemies are pretty rare - so finding one is a big deal. Film critics gave A Minecraft Movie a critical mauling, but audiences don't seem to care. The film has already earned a whopping $301m (£233m) worldwide over its opening weekend, meaning the project has already doubled its $150m budget and is the biggest video game film ever to launch in the US. A sequel - and probably more chicken jockeying - now seems assured. "Lovely performances elevate a movie that captures Minecraft's many bits and pieces but not its creative spirit," Christian Donlan wrote in Eurogamer's A Minecraft Movie review. And in other Minecraft movie news, an unfinished version of the film with effects that actually look closer to the original Minecraft game has leaked online.
- [Resident Evil (2002): Why Paul W.S. Anderson's Zombie Classic Deserves Respect](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/resident-evil-2002-why-paul-w-s-andersons-zombie-classic-deserves-respect/) - When Resident Evil stormed into theaters on March 15, 2002, it faced a gauntlet of skeptics: video game diehards craving a pixel-perfect adaptation of Capcom’s survival-horror masterpiece and critics wary of another lackluster game-to-film flop. Directed and written by Paul W.S. Anderson, this bold reimagining introduced Alice (Milla Jovovich) and traded slow-burn scares for high-octane action. Despite mixed reviews, its box office haul and enduring influence make it a misunderstood classic worth defending. Here’s why Anderson’s first Resident Evil film is a genre triumph, backed by stats and fresh insights. A Box Office Hit That Sparked a Franchise The numbers don’t lie: Resident Evil was made for a lean $33 million and raked in over $102 million worldwide, per box office records. That’s a triple return on investment—a feat many bloated blockbusters can’t claim. Compared to 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which needed a $115 million budget to hit $274 million, Anderson’s efficiency shines. Its $40 million domestic take and $62 million internationally proved it had global legs, paving the way for sequels like Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), which grossed $129 million. This wasn’t dumb luck. Resident Evil capitalized on the early 2000s zombie craze and Matrix-inspired action, delivering a mid-budget hit that launched a franchise now worth over $1.3 billion. It’s a testament to Anderson’s knack for turning modest means into massive returns. A Clever Twist on the Games Purists griped that Resident Evil didn’t follow Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield’s storylines, but Anderson’s choice to craft a prequel-like tale in the Umbrella Corporation’s Hive was a smart pivot. Alice, an amnesiac operative, navigates a T-virus outbreak with a squad of commandos, facing zombies, mutant dogs, and that infamous laser trap. This wasn’t a betrayal of the games—it was a cinematic remix. Anderson aimed to dodge the curse of slavish adaptations, giving Resident Evil a fresh identity while sprinkling in fan nods like the Red Queen and Licker. Unlike 2021’s cluttered Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, his film welcomed newcomers without alienating players. It worked—both as a standalone thriller and a franchise springboard. For more on its place in the series, see this Resident Evil film series breakdown. Action-Horror Done Right Critics often knock Anderson for prioritizing flash over depth, but Resident Evil nails action-horror fusion. The laser corridor scene—tense, gory, and visually stunning—ranks among early 2000s cinema’s best. Paired with Marilyn Manson’s gritty score, it channels the games’ trap-laden vibe with flair. Practical effects, like the snarling zombie dogs, anchor the sci-fi chaos in raw thrills. Yes, the dialogue’s cheesy, and the CGI shows its age, but the film’s relentless pace and atmosphere still deliver. It’s not high art—it’s a bloody good time that knows its lane. Milla Jovovich: The Franchise MVP Milla Jovovich’s Alice is Resident Evil’s secret weapon. From dazed survivor to zombie-killing icon, she redefined action heroines. Unlike Ripley or Sarah Connor, Alice’s power isn’t tied to motherhood—she’s a blank slate forging her own path. Jovovich’s grit and grace made her a star, driving the film’s $102 million success and cementing her as the series’ backbone across six entries. A Legacy That Endures Resident Evil’s impact is undeniable: five sequels, over $1.3 billion total gross, and a cult status that keeps fans rewatching. Anderson helmed four of the six films, shaping a saga that outgrossed every other video game adaptation. The 2002 original’s blend of horror and action set the tone, proving its worth beyond initial reviews. Curious about Anderson’s broader career? The BFI’s guide traces his kinetic legacy. Verdict: A Zombie Classic Worth Revisiting Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil isn’t perfect, but it’s no failure. With a $33 million budget and $102 million box office, it’s a financial win that birthed a blockbuster series. It reimagined a gaming titan, delivered iconic action-horror, and gave us Alice—a heroine for the ages. Next time you’re craving a 2000s throwback, fire it up. It’s earned its stripes.

- [Pa.'s 'Zombie Land' is home to more than just the undead - PennLive.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/07/pa-s-zombie-land-is-home-to-more-than-just-the-undead-pennlive-com/) - Pennsylvania has had quite the love affair with zombies. Zombie king, George Romero, shot his legendary film “Night of the Living Dead (1968)” around Butler County. His other dead creature feature, “Dawn of the Dead (1978),” was filmed in the Monroeville Mall, itself a lifeless shell of the shopping center it once was. Not to mention the state apparently comes in clutch in the event of a zombie apocalypse. So of course Pennsylvania would be home to a place called Zombie Land. And of course it’s supposedly teeming with animated corpses, along with a bunch of other bizarre stuff. Pennsylvania has had a longstanding relationship with zombies, very much thanks to "Night Of The Living Dead." (Photo by LMPC via Getty Images)LMPC via Getty Images“Haunted Western Pennsylvania (2013)” pegs Zombie Land as a small, two-acre lot that lies close to Mahoning Township, right near the Ohio state line. Records from 1872 state that Mahoning — erected in 1805 — is one of Lawrence County’s original townships. Once a thriving community centered around coal, when the industry died, so, too, did the town; Census data shows that the area is home to just 2,693 people these days. Lots of nature. Few people. Sounds like a place that’s perfect for an undead infestation, no? Thomas White — archivist and curator at Duquesne University — thinks there’s something to that, in part because those factors make Zombie Land what folklorists refer to as a “liminal space.”“A liminal space is a place of transition, either physical, social or psychological, where legends tend to thrive because of its ill-defined nature,” White wrote to PennLive via email. “The area that makes up Zombie Land is still relatively rural with old infrastructure, but also within accessible driving distance.“These pieces of old infrastructure (old bridges, gas wells, etc.) provide an anchor for the legend trippers to go to. It is an area on the fringe of daily life for many people, not necessarily a place they would visit on a regular basis.”Plus, all the decaying metal and isolation gives it “a level of spookiness,” White continued, breathing life into the legends. The fact that an actual, brutal murder took place in the area — that of 12-year-old Shannon Leigh Kos in 2000 — adds to the place’s dreadful air. The village of Hillsville in Mahoning Township is known as "Zombie Land" to some. But more than one legend abounds. (Mr. Matté | Wikimedia Commons)Mr. Matté | Wikimedia CommonsNow, to get to Zombie Land, you’ll have to go down Churchill Road. And before you enter, you’ll have to make sure you get the go-ahead from the Virgin Mary. According to the Lawrence County Memoirs, there’s a Virgin Mary statue located at St. Lawrence Church and Cemetery in Hillsville that serves as a marker to the start of Zombie Land.Blog “Strange and Spooky World” urges visitors to look closely at the statue: If the Virgin Mary is standing with her arms open in welcome, legend goes, then it’s safe to enter. But if her hands are clasped in prayer, stay away. (Indeed, author Patty Wilson warns in “Haunted Western Pennsylvania” that “[the statue] has not opened her arms in welcome for many years.” White points out in “Legends & Lore of Western Pennsylvania (2009)” that might be because her hands were carved that way.)If you’re set on venturing forth — welcoming Virgin Mary or no — be prepared to meet more than just zombies on the way.There’s the “Light Bulb Heads,” for one, states “Haunted Western Pennsylvania,” a reclusive group of outcasts shunned by people for their deformities that are said to still live along a river nearby. Then there’s the Skyhill Road Bridge — known also as “Graffiti Bridge” or the “Puerto Rican Bridge” for the demographic said to have tagged it — where those unfortunate enough to find their own name sprayed onto its side wind up dead. There’s also a resident witch, or her ghost, rather, according to “Legends & Lore.” It’s said that in life she once captured and murdered young children in her “Blood House,” a real building that burned down long ago but the foundations of which still remain. Stay there too long, and she’ll possess you. Not to mention the “Killing Fields,” where disembodied screams and gunshots ring out and the occasionally shadowy figure is seen. And the railroad tracks where a ghostly, disembodied train’s “choo’s” can still be heard. Even the Green Man and none other than the Hook Man himself are said to linger around the area. The famed Green Man’s Tunnel in South Park Township, which is about an hour and a half away from Hillsville. South Park Township is where the real Green Man lived, so how the legend made its way beyond its borders remains a mystery. Barry Reeger | Special to PennLive PennLiveBut the crowning glory of Zombie Land — the reason for going, its Eiffel Tower, if you will — is the Zombie Torch. Located by path from Graffiti Bridge, both “Legends & Lore” and “Strange and Spooky World” claim that the Zombie Torch — known also as “Eternal Flame” — is the area’s zombie barometer. If it’s lit, that means zombies are coming your way; if not, your brains are safe.A blog dedicated to the mythos of Zombie Land claims that the torch will actually attract the Hook Man or the Bridge People if lit, too. Ditto for the Green Man.For some, apparently, the goal is to light the torch to see what happens, which White emphasized “is very dangerous and should never be attempted under any circumstance!” The Zombie Torch, you see, is an old natural gas well that supposedly still leaks gas; having an open flame nearby might not be the wisest thing to do (unless you’re lacking brains already). Like most all other legends covered by “Paranormal PA” — from doomsday tombstones to the Green Man, too — the zombie stories coming out Mahoning Township had to originate from somewhere. And White believes that “somewhere” is Romero.“I think the zombie legend probably has direct ties to Western PA because this is where George Romero filmed his original zombie movies,” White said. “They became such a cultural phenomenon starting in the 1970s and they left their imprint in legends where the modern idea of a zombie really took off (as opposed to the traditions of the Haitian or ‘voodoo’ zombie).” The legends probably arose thanks to Mr. Romero himself. (Getty Images)Getty ImagesThey stayed such a cultural phenomenon, too, because the zombie — apart from being just a silly goose time — on a deeper level might essentially serve as a blank canvas to a wide variety of fears, White explained. “Zombies, at least the modern movie zombies, can represent different things to different people,” he elaborated. “They can express the fears of unchecked consumerism, mindlessness, xenophobia, mistrust of government, or lack of preparation and anxiety. “Perhaps even modern western culture’s detachment of fear of addressing death as a part of life. As a ‘monster’ they can be adapted to many cultural anxieties, which has made them popular.”So go ahead: drive down Churchill Road. Check out the Virgin Mary. Wander through a liminal space of rust and trees; lean into the thrill of uncertainty of what lies down that path from the bridge. Although one thing is for certain: you won’t see White anywhere near the Zombie Torch any time soon. “Not because I’‘m afraid of zombies,” he said. “But because I have a healthy fear of natural gas explosions.”

Every Mob Featured in A Minecraft Movie ExplainedZombie MinecraftZombies in Minecraft are immediately recognized by their undead groans as they seek out players through the night. The gang faces hordes of zombies at night in the Overworld but are, fortunately, saved as they erupt into flames as day hits.Baby Zombie (Chicken Jockey) MinecraftThe mini undead appears in one of Minecraft's most crowd-pleasing moments, dropping onto a feathered back to fight Jason Momoa's Garbage Man as Jack Black's Steve hilariously announces, "Chicken Jockey!"A Minecraft Movie theatergoers can grab their own Chicken Jockey popcorn bucket from Cinemark as one of several pixelated kernal-holding creations.Skeleton MinecraftMinecraft's skeletons wield bow and arrows as they attack players at night, and the same rings true in the 2025 blockbuster. They attack Garbage Man's crew on their first night in the Overworld, and some even wield enchanted bows, allowing them to fire flaming arrows at the human explorers.Enderman MinecraftEndermen are the inhabitants of The End who have a unique ability to teleport and are provoked by being attacked or looked at for too long. In the Woodland Mansion, as they recover the Earth Crystal, Henry encounters an Enderman and looks into its eyes, prompting hallucinations of several other characters. Creeper MinecraftThe Creepers may be every Minecraft player's worst nightmare, as one step to close or a surprise sneak-up could cause an explosion that tears apart their base. As the big screen Minecraft gang endures their first night, Garbage Man nearly meets an early end in a shock Creeper explosion.Spider MinecraftSpiders have a unique position in Minecraft as they are friendly at day and hostile at night or in dark areas. They are among the mobs that terrify the gang in their first Overlord nighttime, including one being ridden by an arrow-shooting Skeleton. Piglin MinecraftRuled over in A Minecraft Movie by Malgosha, the Piglin are pig-like creatures who inhabit the Nether and have a lust for gold. The creatures serve as Malgosha's army as she plots to take over the Overworld using the Orb of Dominance.Hoglin MinecraftHoglins appear in the Nether as a source of pork chops and leather and are, interestingly, Minecraft's only breedable hostile mob. They seemingly appear in the movie as vicious beasts ridden by some of the Piglin armies.Ghast MinecraftAs the Nether comes to the Overlord, the floating explosive-shooting Ghasts are among Malgosha's underworld army. The ghost-like creatures blow up a bridge in the movie, seemingly dooming Garbage Man, who even manages to ride one.Chicken MinecraftChickens appear to have been Steve's primary food source in A Minecraft Movie, as he has crafted a redstone contraption to cook them with lava. And, as audiences haven't stopped applauding the moment, it seems imperative to note its other appearance in the iconic "Chicken Jockey" moment a second time.Pig MinecraftPigs can be kept as livestock in Minecraft and bred for slaughter, allowing players to consume their tasty pork chops. However, in A Minecraft Movie, a crown-wearing pig appears and is dubbed a "legend" by Steve - a reference to the late YouTuber Technoblade, who used such a design for his in-game skin and logo.Cow MinecraftCows are among the mobs most commonly bred by Minecraft players, as steak is often considered one of the best food sources. The mooing livestock don't get much of a role in A Minecraft Movie but do make a brief appearance.Sheep MinecraftSheep have many uses in Minecraft, as they can be killed for food or simply kept and sheared for their wool. After Steve enters the Overworld for the first time, a bleating pink sheep is among the first creatures he is greeted by, and he even makes one of his first homes out of its colorful wool.Wolf MinecraftA Minecraft dog is truly a gamer's best friend, as feral wolves can be tamed with bones to keep them company on their adventures. That holds on the big screen as Steve quickly adopts a wolf, Dennis, and even sends him to Earth to hide the Orb in his real home after he is kidnapped by Malgosha.Panda MinecraftPandas are one of the newer mob additions to Minecraft that spawn in jungle biomes. Some adorable pandas are sent flying in A Minecraft Movie thanks to the water bucket used by the humans to clutch a near-perilous landing. Bee MinecraftBees in Minecraft live in hives and nests, focusing on harvesting honey and only becoming hostile when attacked. The Bees got one of the most adorable translations to the big screen, appearing smiley, stripy, and fuzzy. Llama MinecraftLlamas are neutral mobs in Minecraft that can be tamed and used to transport chests across distances. They passively inhabit the Overworld in A Minecraft Movie, wandering, munching on grass, and observing Steve as he builds a house.Villager MinecraftThe ordinary inhabitants of the Minecraft world are the Villagers, who are known to trade, farm, and occupy small villages around the Overworld. A Minecraft Movie even has a surprising story where Nitwit (voiced by Matt Berry) wanders to Earth and falls in love with Jennifer Coolidge's Vice Principal Marlene.Pillager MinecraftThe Villagers also have their villainous counterparts in the crossbow-wielding Pillagers, who can be found in patrols and outposts. As Garbage Man fights a Chicken Jockey in the Woodland Mansion arena, Pillagers appear outside the ring in a crowd, cheering against the human gang.Iron Golem MinecraftIron Golems guard the villages in Minecraft to protect their inhabitants from unfriendly, attacking mobs. Players can also craft them using iron blocks and a pumpkin to guard their own bases. Both these things are shown in A Minecraft Movie as the gang assembles them to help take on Malgosha.For those who missed some of these mobs hidden in A Minecraft Movie, find out when and where the flick will start streaming at home.
- [CinemaCon: The coolest footage and what we learned at the event - JoBlo](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/cinemacon-the-coolest-footage-and-what-we-learned-at-the-event-joblo/) - CinemaCon is a wrap! Here’s what we learned at this star-studded convention! CinemaCon is over, and once again, JoBlo.com was lucky enough to attend on behalf of the site and check out all the amazing studio presentations. Pretty much every studio was represented this year, with everyone reaffirming the fact that, after a few difficult post-COVID years, as well as the lingering effect of the dual WGA/SAG strikes, Hollywood needs to get audiences back in theatres in order to keep the industry going. Here are a few highlights and takeaways we got from the presentations: Nobody 2 looks amazing: While Timo Tjahjanto’s Nobody 2 didn’t get a major presentation, with Bob Odenkirk currently on Broadway starring in Glengarry Glen Ross, we did get to see the film’s first trailer, and it’s killer. While the first movie played on the John Wick formula, the sequel does something unique in that it seems to be an ultra-violent riff on National Lampoon’s Vacation. In the footage we saw, Odenkirk’s Hutch takes his wife and kids on holiday to a resort (with Christopher Lloyd’s Gramps in tow), only for the daughter to be bullied by some townies. When Hutch, predictably, beats the shit out of all of them, he realizes that the resort town is run by a queenpin (played by Sharon Stone), who marks the family for death. Big mistake. The trailer, which should drop soon, doubles down on both the comedy (it’s all scored by Lindsay Buckingham’s “Holiday Road”) and action (The RZA kills bad guys with a samurai sword). The Beatles movies are crazy ambitious: One of the biggest news stories to come out of the convention is that Sam Mendes not only unveiled his casting of The Fab Four but that the movies will all drop the same month – April 2028 – and exclusively in theatres. It will be the first-ever bingeable theatrical event. It’s ambitious – I’ll give it that much, even if it sounds a little insane (what happens if you miss one? Is there an order?). [embedded content] Superhero fatigue might not be (entirely) real: 2025 seems to be a make-or-break year for superhero movies, and CinemaCon showcased exclusive footage from Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four: First Steps. The convention also unveiled the new title for Spider-Man 4 (Brand New Day) and a release date for the much-delayed Beyond the Spider-Verse. We also got a five-minute sneak peek at Superman, although that’s since been released online. One interesting thing, though, is that outside of Marvel and DC, studios seem to be giving the genre a rest. [embedded content] Comedies could (and should) make a comeback: CinemaCon was buzzing with enthusiasm about two big star-driven comedies coming this year. One was Anzi Anzari’s Good Fortune, in which Keanu Reeves plays a none-too-bright angel, while the other is Liam Neeson’s The Naked Gun reboot. Folks love the teaser (the O.J. joke is gold), but we saw even better footage at CinemaCon. I think that movie might be a giant hit. [embedded content] Original movies are important: While studios still rely on established IP, some are mixing things up in a big way. Amazon/MGM, notably, have only one sequel being released theatrically this year – The Accountant 2. All the other films are original. Warner Bros is also making a big swing with P.T. Anderson’s hugely ambitious One Battle After Another, for which we saw some extended footage. [embedded content] Lionsgate is betting big on John Wick: The John Wick universe is about to be expanded in a big way. Not only was Lionsgate busy promoting Ballerina (check out our Ana de Armas interview above), but they’ve also greenlit another John Wick sequel, AND an animated prequel, PLUS a spin-off movie focused on Donnie Yen’s Caine. [embedded content] Theatrical windows need to be longer: One common refrain was that theatrical windows have gotten too short, and exhibitors feel the pinch when studios put movies on VOD within seventeen days (which happens any time a film underperforms). Exhibitors want at least 28 days of exclusivity, while they want 45 days on blockbusters. Disney seems the most willing in this regard, with them waiting 45 days to release their Marvel movies and blockbusters digitally. What news do you think was the coolest? Let us know in the talkbacks! Read all of our coverage HERE!
- [The 10 Best Horror Movies About Scary Clowns - SlashFilm](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/the-10-best-horror-movies-about-scary-clowns-slashfilm/) - Static Media Horror movies about clowns are their own specific breed of awesome. Some of the best horror movies out there center around the diabolical sweetness — or lack thereof — of clowns, so there's no underestimating how truly terrifying they can be within the right circumstances. Sure, there are some truly bad ones out there, but those truly pale in comparison to how much the good ones absolutely rock. One could even argue that the presence of a scary clown automatically elevates any horror movie, but that one might be just a matter of taste at the end of the day. Advertisement That said, there's no denying horror is truly a safe haven for the weird and wonderful, and evil clowns definitely fall within those categories. In fact, culture's most memorable clowns call horror their home. Horror allows for audiences to safely explore the antithesis of the joy clowns can conventionally give us, and, boy, has the genre risen to that challenge in the best possible ways. May we always have scary clowns to terrify us and make us think. Here are the top 10 best horror movies about clowns, ranked. 10. House of 1000 Corpses Lions Gate Films A list about horror movies and clowns simply would not be complete without Rob Zombie's directorial debut "House of 1000 Corpses." This black horror comedy follows a group of teens who are kidnapped and tortured by a psychotic family while traveling cross country. Obviously, it's very "Texas Chain Saw Massacre," but that doesn't stop the film from being its own brand of gnarly and great. It's got Zombie's dark and gritty sensibilities all over it, and as the first of his films, it starts to visually develop that style he'd become known for. Advertisement When it comes to the clown elements, this film is lucky enough to be the first appearance of one of Zombie's most beloved recurring characters. Captain Spaulding, our clown in question, is the sneaky and outlandish leader of the Firefly family and the owner of the gas station-slash-chicken joint where the film kicks off. The late Sid Haig, who passed away in September 2019, played Spaulding with a real sense of twisted nonchalance that made his every move something terrible to anticipate. Haig's character is so realistic; You can easily picture yourself running across a weirdo like him in some small middle American town, and that's a huge part of what makes him and his clown persona so terrifying. Spaulding makes this film as despicable as he is in the best possible way. Advertisement 9. Terrifier 3 Cineverse The thing about the third film in Damien Leone's "Terrifier" franchise is that it's the best movie, so to speak, of the three. Sure, Art the Clown, played impeccably by David Howard Thornton, is absolutely horrifying, but when it comes to the actual craft of "Terrifier 3," this film looks and feels much improved from its predecessors. Leone clearly found his footing as an independent filmmaker with access to a large budget, which allowed him to focus not only on the guts and gore, especially in the movie's most shocking moment, but the overall tone and story, which is much improved in this third installment and follows Sienna (Lauren LaVera) after she's several years recovered from the Miles County massacre from "Terrifer 2." Advertisement It's hard to understate how good Thornton is as Art. It's a performance that quite literally thrills and chills. This time around, the character is much funnier than ever before, thanks to cartoon inspirations, and it adds to both the comedic relief and the eeriness of the character. This film feels like it's giving us Art the Clown in his final form... that is, until the movie quite literally cracks open in the final act, forcing audiences to face the bleak reality of what heroic lead Sienna must do in order to finally defeat Art's evil for good. Oh, and did I mention this one's a Christmas movie? Great stuff. 8. Killer Klowns From Outer Space Trans World Entertainment If you love absolute absurdity, look no further than 1988's crazy and cool "Killer Klowns From Outer Space." This film definitely has much more of a low-budget aesthetic than any of the other movies on this list, but it also has that undeniably 80s flair that's hard — and, frankly, cringe — to fake. It's endearing because it isn't crisp and clean and full of immaculate CGI. It just wouldn't be the same if it was made today. Advertisement On that note, the movie's clown design would also undoubtedly suffer if the film was more recent. The clowns of this bizarre little movie are completely unique, never again to be replicated even by the weirdest and most wild films since. Their outlandish ridiculousness is the key ingredient that makes the movie one that still endures to this day. It's simply just so much fun that it becomes wholly unforgettable, and that's definitely grounds for making it on the list of the best movies about scary clowns. 7. It: Chapter Two Warner Bros. Pictures It might be true that "It: Chapter Two" is the weaker of the two films, but that doesn't mean that this horror sequel isn't totally terrifying. The thing about this second film is that it morphs the fears of the young kids from "Chapter One" and reshapes them into terrors fit for their adult counterparts. It's pretty scary watching the series' central villain, Pennywise the Clown, shift his tactics and feed on adult insecurities instead of just your standard irrational teenage worries. Advertisement That said, Pennywise himself also feels like he's a scarier version of himself in this film, with actor Bill Skarsgård using every opportunity on screen to instill a fresh sense of dread and horror within the audience. There are several unforgettable set piece moments with Pennywise in this sequel, including that moment when the Loser Club ends up down in the sewers and the clown finally shows off his utterly horrific true face. As a coming-of-age film that tackles adulthood, "It: Chapter Two" more than succeeds, but as a horror film that eats away at everything that makes adulthood stable, the film more than knocks it out of the park, and we have our pal Pennywise to thank for that. 6. Clown Dimension Films There's no clown movie quite like MCU Spider-Man director Jon Watts' directorial debut "Clown." The 2014 horror drama follows a family man named Kent who agrees to dress as a party clown for his kid's birthday party after the hired clown fails to show up, but he quickly realizes that he can't actually take the costume off, and horror ensues. "Clown" is incredibly grounded as a film; It feels as bleak as real life can feel, and it shines a bright and necessary life on the horrors of being a responsible adult just trying to make ends meet for your family. Any viewer who has struggled to survive can relate to Watts' central character, despite the outlandish nature of what he becomes. Advertisement "Clown" definitely went pretty much unnoticed in the mainstream, but it is still discussed by horror heads to this day because of its absolutely killer effects. This film becomes a body horror masterclass and a clown movie for the ages through the purely horrific makeup work that shapes Kent's terrifying transformation. There's no denying "Clown" is one of the most underrated clown horror movies the subgenre has to offer. 5. It (1990) ABC Talk about a classic. The original adaptation of Stephen King's "It" is technically a miniseries, but no matter how you classify it, the 1990 original adaptation is one of the most memorable clown stories out there. With this version of King's story, it's all about the sense of dread. There's nothing all that mystical or magical about this adaptation. Instead, it exists firmly in the realm of reality. Despite the fact that Pennywise obviously doesn't fit into those confines, there's something eerily disarming about him that draws you in. Advertisement Maybe it's the Brooklyn-style accent legendary actor Tim Curry puts on for Pennywise, maybe it's the character's superior nonchalance and sinister omnipotence. But he feels less like something weird and fantastical, and more like a deeply sinister guy who kills people in full clown regalia. Despite the ridiculous nature of the whole thing, there's something real and terrifying about that. The naturalism of Curry's performance is the icing on the cake, anchoring the film in something that feels real but is far from it. That ultimately makes the characters and the audience that much more terrified. 4. It: Chapter One Warner Bros. Pictures When it comes to the reboot, "It: Chapter One" is definitely the standout of the two films. The 2017 Andy Muschetti film is our introduction to Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise, a character that has since made a big impression on not only the horror world but the film world at large. It's a major first impression to make, but Skarsgård has proven himself particularly good at getting deep into the heads of deeply demented horror villains over the years. Arguably, he owes that privilege to his work as our favorite dancing clown. As Pennywise, Skarsgård embodies the puzzling terror that can only be emitted by something otherworldly. His performance stays with you from the storm drain scene onward, and then into your nightmares. Advertisement As a film, Muschetti's movie is an excellent marriage of coming-of-age tenderness and mind-bending horror. Being this is the part of the "It" story that follows the Loser Club as kids, the film uses their youthful impressionability to its advantage and makes that a strong foundation for its scares. That decision, along with the strength of Skarsgård's performance, is what makes this movie so good. Playing on the specific kind of fears a child would have not only makes the scares believable for the characters, but also for the audience. "It: Chapter One" just gets it. 3. Haunt Momentum Pictures This underrated Halloween gem just might be my favorite movie on this list. 2019's "Haunt" is brought to you by none other than "A Quiet Place" writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, so you know right off the bat that it's going to be one for the books. But add in a sprinkle of "The Houses October Built," and you've got yourself a terrifying good time. The movie follows a group of friends who challenge themselves to stick it out in a local extreme haunted house, only for them to unwittingly step into a real-life house of horrors and begin a fight for their lives. Advertisement The vibes on this film are pure terror, especially when things really start to kick off. Those vibes hinge on the sense of dread the characters have as they progress further into the haunt, and thus into the unknown, as well as the bizarre haunt actors they meet along the way. Naturally, there is a particularly menacing clown at the core of the devious group behind the haunt, but his gleeful lack of morality is what makes him so memorable. There's a reason this clown is featured on the film's poster: He's the personification of everything that's terrifying about the scenario "Haunt" presents. 2. Terrifier Epic Pictures Group When it comes to horrifying clown movies, "Terrifier" is a surefire success. The very first film in the "Terrifier" franchise follows two young women who end up being stalked by the most disgusting killer clown ever, Art the Clown, on Halloween night. It's a simple enough premise, but "Terrifier" uses that simplicity to its advantage tenfold. This is the first time (in the main "Terrifier" movie timeline) where audiences got to experience David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown and everything he can do in that role. With his debut performance in this 2016 film, it's easy to see how the character has become a horror icon as he's evolved over the years. Advertisement This first film of the "Terrifier" franchise is one of the most independent and DIY on this list. But because the actual production of the thing isn't reinventing the wheel, it really lets the menace of Art's character stand on its own and prove how much it can carry a movie. This is obviously the first attempt at letting Art run wild over a feature runtime, but it's so fun, exciting, and downright horrifying that it's hard to walk away from it without feeling like it's one of the best evil clown movies in the history of the canon. 1. Hell House LLC Cognetti Films If you can stomach a slow burn, there's nothing quite like the clown-induced terror of 2015's "Hell House LLC." The faux documentary film follows a group of friends who work together to stage a haunted house attraction in 2009. The movie within the movie seeks to understand what went wrong when the opening night of the event descended into a nightmare after some kind of mystery malfunction caused the death of 15 guests and staff members. Advertisement "Hell House LLC" is one of those found footage films that will forever have its place in the highest rankings of the subgenre. It may not be full of jump scares and cheap shots, but the way it slowly creeps under your skin and makes a home in your bones is unmistakable. One of the most unsettling elements of the film's story is the clown standees the group intends to place in different rooms of their haunt. They're undoubtedly completely creepy on their own, but then these guys start moving when the creators of the haunt aren't looking. The film does the most incredible job of crafting genuinely terrifying moments surrounding these standees, ones that don't inherently rely on jump scares. There's one that takes place in a bedroom that comes to mind, and fans will remember it as one of the most haunting of the entire film. Advertisement This is a movie that will slowly but surely creep up on you until you simply can't ignore the terror it's going to inflict, and there's no denying it deserves the top spot on this list of horror movies about scary clowns.

It's Wild ...](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/could-haley-joel-osment-join-his-sister-on-georgie-and-mandys-first-marriage-its-wild/) - Haley Joel and Emily Osment are two Hollywood siblings I regularly forget about, and a recent interview with the former might've revealed precisely why. As his sister Emily Osment continues her run on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage as part of the 2025 TV schedule, he noted that he's never actually interacted with his sibling in a TV show or movie.The actor, who played a big part in one of the best movie plot twists ever, revealed to Us Weekly that he's currently living with his sister after losing his home in the L.A. wildfires. Given their newly close-quartered situation and personal relationship, Osment noted he also thinks it's strange that they've never been featured together in a scene. As he put it:It’s funny that we have never had a scene together on screen. We were both in The Kominsky Method and we were in a wedding scene together — but we didn’t have any interaction. I know something will happen eventually because she’s great and I’m so proud of everything she’s done.The Kominsky Method dropped the ball in not having the siblings' characters exchange pleasantries, but as Haley Joel Osment mentioned above, it seems like he feels good about something happening in the future. That's interesting to hear, especially considering it would seem like she'll be working on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage for quite a while.Assuming the Young Sheldon spinoff runs as long as its predecessor, or even The Big Bang Theory, Emily Osment could be filming episodes of her latest sitcom for CBS and those with a Paramount+ subscription for many years to come. As such, one would think that bringing in her brother, Haley Joel, for a cameo role would be the easiest way for these two to finally share a scene in which their characters interact, right?Osment didn't have any big reveals to make on that front, but he did speak positively and praised both his sister and her hit series.She’s great. Her show [Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage] is just wrapping up season 1 right now. Great community of people there.While CBS hasn't made any announcements regarding Haley Joel Osment appearing in a future episode, we do know that Christopher Gorham will enter Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage as Mandy's new boss, Scott. This new character has a romantic past with Mandy, which could present some real issues for her and Georgie's relationship.As Mandy already has her brother Connor on the CBS sitcom, Haley Joel Osment would need to fill another role, potentially as a cousin, should he appear in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. I think he'd also be an excellent fit for a marriage counselor, and there could be snippets of him interacting with Mandy throughout the season as she and Georgie work on trying to save their marriage. It could be a recurring role as they discuss the various problems in their relationship that will inevitably lead to their split.Your Daily Blend of Entertainment NewsI hope there is a role for Haley Joel Osment on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, as it's always fun when sitcoms pull in actors who have a connection outside of the show. Case in point, Shifting Gears brought in Jay Leno and other stars from Last Man Standing, and I appreciated each and every appearance. Fingers crossed, Emily Osment's brother is on the short list for a guest role, and he won't be able to see dead people and bring back zombie George Sr.Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage airs on CBS on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Continue to enjoy Season 1 as it airs, and get ready for what should be an exciting end to the season based on what we know so far.

We also discuss Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 as inspiration for the Do it yourself aspect of Hell Of A Summer. Synopsis Hell of a Summerfollows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one. Here’s a look at the trailer! [embedded content] On To The Interview… PopHorror: AJ Friar, PopHorror.com. How are you guys doing today? Finn Wolfhard: Good, how are you? Billy Bryk: Well, how are you? PopHorror: Doing good. So Finn and Billy, this question is for you. When we think of summer camp movies, we usually think of Wet Hot American Summer and from the slasher genre we think of Sleepaway Camp, right. So did Hell of a Summer all come about? Did any of those films kind of help inspire this film location as well? Finn Wolfhard: Absolutely, yeah. Billy Bryk: Definitely. A huge part of it that we haven’t even really talked about much today was the idea of how fun it would be to film on a summer camp and hearing stories about the filming of Wet Hot American Summer and this young group of people coming together to make a movie. This is not one that set at a summer camp, but how they made Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, there was something so inspiring to us about that way of filmmaking and coming together with a small crew and making films. So a big part of it was that we love summer camp, we loved the camp slasher genre, but also selfishly we just wanted to make a movie at camp. And I think that was a not insignificant factor…- Finn Wolfhard: No, definitely. Billy Bryk:: …in deciding to write this movie. PopHorror: And Fred, this was for you, how was it like working with Finn and Billy on Hell of a Summer as well? Fred Hechinger: It was like a true delight. I love these guys and they really are like, I was thinking what you were just talking about is building that camp and the way that you built the environment really is this thing of playing- Finn Wolfhard: By hand. Fred Hechinger: Yeah, or you build the energy- Finn Wolfhard: Like micro. Fred Hechinger: Yeah. Finn Wolfhard: I know what you saying. Fred Hechinger: Playing to the strength of how you can conduct a group. And what’s so funny about groups, group dynamics are so weird and funny and I think you could sense stuff and then dial that up and dial that down and yeah, every day was so fun. PopHorror: Finn and Billy, this is for you again. Did any of the genre films of the ’80s and ’90s help kind of inspire the production design and the set designs of this film as well? Finn Wolfhard: Definitely. Billy Bryk: Definitely. The idea that a lot of those films in the late ’70s and ’80s were made sort of with limited resources and how, for example, the first Halloween, it’s lit so deliberately where they just didn’t have a lot of light to light up the scene. So they had to be so careful with what slash of light comes through what curtain, and it allows you to see a certain aspect of the film. It’s so brilliantly lit and choreographed and designed. So those were a huge stylistic influence on us. Because we also didn’t have a ton of resources, but beyond that, we felt there’s something really sort of classic and timeless about these truly dark horror films of that era. So yeah, it was a big influence. PopHorror: And also for Finn and Billy, this film is being distributed by Neon, which is just killing it lately. How does it feel like having a studio like them back you up on this project? Finn Wolfhard: It’s like the greatest compliment there could be. I mean, they just… Anora just won Best Picture and they’re riding so high and the fact that they’re putting out our slasher movie is pretty amazing. And it shows their versatility as a company and also their love for film and their love for supporting young filmmakers too, and taking chances on stuff. Billy Bryk: The fact that they’re doing a real theatrical wide release for this movie is so special to us because this is the type of comedy that we think is obviously best experienced in a crowd, but also was just going to see late night comedies with my friends growing up is some of the greatest memories I had of my adolescence. So it’s a dream come true to make this movie and for it to come out to the world in this way and to be playing in theaters, it’s amazing. PopHorror: Well guys, thank you so much for joining me today. Billy Bryk: Thank you. PopHorror: Congratulations on the movie. Hell of a Summer is in theaters now! Get your tickets via Fandango for a theater near you!
- [A Minecraft Movie Sparks Chaos in Theaters, 'CHICKEN JOCKEY!' Screams, and Even ... - IGN](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/a-minecraft-movie-sparks-chaos-in-theaters-chicken-jockey-screams-and-even-ign/) - A Minecraft Movie had a massive opening weekend at the box office and sparked pandemonium inside theaters, with popcorn being thrown, wild "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" screams, and even reports of police being called. But some are saying their experience was ruined by the chaos.Social media was flooded with videos showing overly enthusiastic cinemagoers screaming lines from the movie, openly filming with their phones, throwing popcorn, and clapping rowdily.One phrase in particular has risen to the top of the social media pile: "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" Jack Black, who plays Minecraft's famous playable character, Steve, says the line in the movie, and videos of screenings that took place over the weekend show it is sending teens delirious.The line is said during a scene in which Black and Jason Momoa face a cuboid Minecraft chicken who is ridden by a baby zombie in a boxing ring. Black’s Steve declares "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" after the baby zombie falls from a crate onto the chicken; a reference to the video game itself, where certain baby zombie characters are sometimes found riding a chicken.Given these fans had already seen the chicken jockey scene via a Minecraft trailer released in February, they were primed for release when they saw the movie in the cinema. And now, the chicken jockey line has taken on a life of its own, going viral on social media which in turn is fueling even more intense reaction.the minecraft movie is truly one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen but the universal reaction to “chicken jockey” im seeing made it all worth it. pic.twitter.com/0mxgliSYEp— ollie ???

- [Cops Reportedly Called Over 'A Minecraft Movie' "Chicken Jockey" Scene - ScreenGeek](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/cops-reportedly-called-over-a-minecraft-movie-chicken-jockey-scene-screengeek/) - Fans of the Minecraft video game franchise have waited a long time for the theatrical Minecraft movie to come to fruition. Now it looks like their excitement has become heightened enough for police to reportedly be called. According to some sources, cops were called over a screening of A Minecraft Movie due to the audience’s reaction to the “Chicken Jockey” scene. The “Chicken Jockey” scene was first teased in trailers for the movie. In a recreation of such events in the game, a zombie can be seen riding a chicken. In this particular example for the movie, however, the zombie is dropped on a chicken that is preparing to battle the characters played by Jack Black and DC star Jason Momoa. It’s Jack Black’s character who reactions by yelling “Chicken Jockey!”, a line that has since become a meme as a result, and one that’s driving crowds wild. As you can see in some of the clips shared below on social media including one which has cops escorting several moviegoers out of the Minecraft movie screening: Happened to overhear a Chicken Jockey moment pic.twitter.com/TUvwMqrZRq — Loke?

At the very least, however, it goes to show that A Minecraft Movie is destined to be a box office juggernaut even with the negative reactions to some of the film’s trailers leading up to its release. Moviegoers including children and adults have been raised on the original Minecraft video game, so there seems to be a desire driven by nostalgia to see what this film has to offer and to celebrate when they see the original game referenced accordingly. The new film A Minecraft Movie is currently playing in theaters. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the surprisingly successful box office hit as we have them.
- [A Minecraft Movie delivers the biggest opening weekend since Deadpool & Wolverine](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/a-minecraft-movie-delivers-the-biggest-opening-weekend-since-deadpool-wolverine/) - Make sure you have your chicken jockey ready because A Minecraft Movie is the first major hit of 2025. The video game adaptation from Jared Hess took the box office by storm this weekend, landing itself the best opening of the year and the best opening weekend box office haul since last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine. It raked in a massive $157 million domestically, surpassing the projection of $70 million to $80 million. That puts A Minecraft Movie at a bigger opening than Inside Out 2 and Wicked. The accolades don’t stop there. The film now has the biggest opening ever for a video game movie, topping The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023. It’s also the third biggest opener for April. SEE ALSO: Awful Video Game Movie Adaptations You’ve Probably Forgotten The blockbuster added $144 million internationally for a global start of $301 million. With its strong reviews from audiences, let’s see if this can be a big blockbuster-type hit. [embedded content][embedded content] Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits — Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world. A Minecraft Movie is directed by Jared Hess (Nacho Libre) and stars Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Jack Black (Borderlands), Emma Myers (Wednesday), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy), and Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus). A Minecraft Movie is now playing.
- [Interview With Author Stephen Graham Jones For 'First Word On Horror' - PopHorror](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/interview-with-author-stephen-graham-jones-for-first-word-on-horror-pophorror/) - I don’t think we talk about horror authors enough. There are plenty of things spotlighting filmmakers and directors, actors, even screenwriters, but horror authors are rarely mentioned. I’m a big reader and would love to hear more from these writers who can bring on the nightmares. This is one of the reasons I’m super excited about the new TV series by Philip Gelatt (The Spine of Night – read our interview with him HERE), First Word on Horror (read our review HERE). This docuseries profiles several popular horror authors (Paul Tremblay – read our interview with him HERE; Stephen Graham Jones, Elizabeth Hand – read our interview with her HERE; Laird Barron; Mariana Enriquez) as they discuss their writing, relationship with horror, and tidbits about their lives while reading some of their work. To celebrate the release of the show, I chatted with author Stephen Graham Jones (My Heart is a Chainsaw; I Was a Teenage Slasher) about becoming part of the show, the horror genre, how Scream has influenced his life, and more! PopHorror: I’m a huge fan so I’m super excited to speak with you today! I think First Word on Horror is such a great idea. I loved your segment so much that I watched it multiple times. You had some really great things to say. Stephen Graham Jones: Thank you! PopHorror: Philip said that he emailed you asking you to be a part of the project. What made you want to say yes? Stephen Graham Jones: I think it was two things. I’d hung out with Phil and Will (producer Battersby) at a film festival in Telluride, Colorado and got to know each other over a few days. They seemed like really good dudes. By that time, I’d seen The Spine of Night somehow, the film they did. Blew me away, all that rotoscope action and the grandness, and the scope of that story really impressed me. And of course, I know Love, Death & Robots too so I knew that they did good work, and they were good people. Those two combined made it an easy choice to say yes to this project. PopHorror: I think that we don’t talk about horror authors enough. We hear a lot about filmmakers, and we see a lot of behind the scenes of the making of horror movies, but I feel like we’re not talking about the books that are out there enough. I love that this is going to open people up to a completely new world. We all need to be reading more. Stephen on First Word on Horror. Stephen Graham Jones: That’s great. Hopefully it does. Let’s get horror into every nook and cranny of the world. PopHorror: Yes! How did you decide on your short story, Dear Final Girls, as being the one feature in the show? Stephen Graham Jones: You know, they initially wanted me to do Father, Son, Holy Rabbit. It’s probably my most well-known story. I said, “Sure, I’ll do whatever ya’ll want,” but I told them I kind of felt like Dear Final Girls might work better in front of a camera, or through a mic anyways. So, we ended up doing both. I think I saw recently they just posted a little article or blog post about switching gears at the last moment and doing Dear Final Girls instead of Father, Son, Holy Rabbit and that made all the difference. It did, it worked out really well and they were able to visually illustrate it with those actors and set pieces and all really, really well. It worked out quite fortuitously, I think. PopHorror: Yes! You said something during your episode that horror is hardwired into us, which I completely agree with. I feel like us horror fans really embrace the genre and the family that the horror community is. Why do you feel that some people embrace horror more than others? Stephen Graham Jones: Yeah, I do believe that the need for fear, terror, and horror is hardwired into us at the genetic level, instinctual level. But because of the different ways people come up, people have different thresholds for what scares them or what they can tolerate. Maybe that’s a better way to say it. Somebody who watched their best friend get killed by a lawnmower is probably going to be traumatized by watching Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive. And I fully understand that. They shouldn’t have to watch it, of course. I know people like this. I have friends like this who don’t engage in horror because they prefer unicorns and kittens and rainbows, and that’s fine too. If we all were the same, it would be such a boring world, you know? I’m glad that those people are out there. What I guess that they don’t know is that rainbows and kittens and unicorns terrify me the same way that my zombies and slasher terrify them. PopHorror: My sister is one of those. She doesn’t understand my love of horror and she’s all kittens and rainbows and unicorns, but it’s funny. She’s the one who showed me my first horror movie back when I was six and she showed me Poltergeist II, which she denies to this day. She is about 20 years older than I am and she’s like, “I don’t think I would have shown you that when you were that little,” and I’m like, “Oh, but you did! You rented it, we watched it, and it terrified me!” She won’t watch them now. When we’re together we watch things like Grey’s Anatomy. Stephen Graham Jones: Oh, wow, that’s funny! I know a lot of people too. I came up with them as horror fans and then they had children, and their tastes changed, and they no longer like horror. I’ve heard that from a lot of people. PopHorror: I’ve heard that too and it blows my mind. I know that you’ve probably talked about this a lot, but I want to talk about Scream because it’s obviously been very influential for you. I find that interesting because a lot of people who are lifelong horror fans and who have been fans for so long, they kind of shy away from the more modern teen slasher. Which I love. Nineties teen slashers are my jam. [embedded content] Stephen Graham Jones: I guess like I say somewhere, maybe in one of my books, when I saw Scream in 1996, it felt like the homework I’d been doing all my life was worth it because this was the test. I could now pass this test. What Scream did though, I think, that was important is it pulled the slasher into our world. Before Scream, most slashers – I guess I hesitate to say all because I probably haven’t seen all but most of them that I know of anyways – happen in a side world that looks like ours but it’s one where Jason Vorhees can come back from getting shot all the time and all this other stuff like Freddy can ride around on a broomstick in six. That kind of thing in slashers made them grand and fun but also made them safe because they happened over there and not over here. But what Scream did by pulling into the conversation this whole long trail of video cassette rentals at the store and making them actually matter, it signaled that this is happening in our world right here, that Ghostface is part of our world. Ghostface isn’t breaking any physical laws as far as we know. Lots of social laws but no physical laws, and I guess lots of criminal laws too. I think that’s the most important thing Scream did. If people say that Scream is meta… I don’t think that Scream’s goal is to be meta. I think being meta was the only response to living in the world we were living in at the time. In the mid 90s, we were having VH1’s Pop-Up Video, which was putting little captions on everything, and David Foster Wallace was doing Infinite Jest and putting footnotes on everything and that was just the reality that we lived in, where everything had a context and six things branching off it. Scream dramatized that for us in a beautiful, wonderful way. PopHorror: I remember when Scream came out and it was marketed as being different because the heroine wasn’t running up the stairs away from the killer and really kind of facing him head-on. You said that it brings the slasher into our world, and that’s because there’s nothing supernatural about it. They were human and I think that I resonated with it so much because I was 16 when it came out because the characters were the same age as me and it made them one of us. I remember seeing it in the theater with my friends. That’s what I love about it. Stephen Graham Jones: Yeah, I totally agree. PopHorror: I have one last question for you today, and you’re not allowed to say Scream. What is your favorite scary movie? Stephen Graham Jones: Ahh, no Scream. If we’re just doing scary movies outside the slasher genre, I’ll say The Ring. I saw that at a dollar theater one weekend when my wife was out of town, and I didn’t sleep for the rest of the weekend. I was too scared, you know? That Samara was going to come out of my TV and get me. It still scares me. I’ll still watch it every once and again. I always hold The Ring as one of those horror films that does everything right. Every once in a while, everything is in balance like it should be and I think The Ring is in balance really well. Thank you so much to Stephen for taking the time to chat with us. First Word on Horror is now available on Substack!
- [A Minecraft Movie's viral 'chicken jockey' trend highlights new approach for film industry](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/06/a-minecraft-movies-viral-chicken-jockey-trend-highlights-new-approach-for-film-industry/) - A Minecraft Movie hit cinemas last week, and it predictably took over the box office, the world and the internet.The film — based on the highest-selling video game of all time, Minecraft — delivered a global opening weekend of $US301 million ($493 million), unseating 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the biggest video game adaptation opening ever.The movie centres around a washed-up gamer, a real estate agent, and two kids who find themselves sucked into The Overworld of Minecraft, where they join forces with a man trapped there years previously.Before this weekend, box office returns were lagging 13 per cent compared with last year.Thanks to A Minecraft Movie, that gap is down to 5 per cent.What's drawing people to A Minecraft Movie?In a tale as old as time for both kids' movies and video game adaptations, critics haven't exactly been as kind to A Minecraft Movie as audiences have.Review aggregators Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes have it sitting at 47 and 48 per cent, respectively, meaning less than half of official critical reviews are positive.The mammoth box office returns and soaring audience ratings of 87 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes suggest critic scores do not really matter on films made to capitalise on what is popular with kids.Meg Herrmann says production companies are still working out how to create viral content.
- [Mr Peek easter egg guide in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil - Sportskeeda](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/mr-peek-easter-egg-guide-in-black-ops-6-zombies-shattered-veil-sportskeeda/) - The new Black Ops 6 Zombies map, Shattered Veil, also features the Mr Peek Easter egg, just like the previous maps. However, it works a bit differently this time. Completing this Easter egg rewards you with a pet named Donut, which starts as a Vermin, then evolves into a Parasite, and eventually a Doppleghast, assisting you in combat. It’s an interesting and straightforward Easter egg that also helps you complete one of the main quest challenges if you choose to pursue it. This article will provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete the Mr Peek Easter egg, acquire Donut, and use it effectively in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Shattered Veil. Guide to completing the Mr Peek easter egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil The Mr Peek Easter Egg in Shattered Veil requires you to locate six scattered parts of Mr. Peek across the map. Once you've collected all of them, head to a specific location to repair Mr Peek, which will reward you with your own pet zombie in the game. That said, this companion won't stay with you for the entire match. As it earns kills, it will evolve through different stages — starting as a Vermin, transforming into a Parasite, and finally becoming a Doppleghast. After reaching its final form and accumulating some kills, it will die on its own. Important Note: You can collect the parts in any order.Each part is always located at a pre-defined location in every match.If you successfully pick up the part, a purple flame will appear. All six Mr Peek part locations First part: Garden Pond (Spawn Area) Head to the Rage Inducer machine at spawn. Just in front of it, you'll see a tree near the bridge. The first part is placed between the tree and the bridge. Interact with it to collect it. First part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Second part: Shem’s Henge Proceed through Garden Pond and unlock the first gate leading into Shem’s Henge. Look to your left, where you'll find an elevated stone platform. Check behind the leaves to spot the second part. This one is a bit tricky, so refer to the embedded image to locate it more easily. Second part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Third part: Conservatory (Quick Revive Area) Make your way to the Conservatory, where the Quick Revive perk is located. In front of it, you’ll see a flight of stairs. Just to the left of the stairs' base, the third part lies visibly on the ground. Third part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Fourth part: Bottlery Head to the Bottlery room. On the west-side bottle shelves, check the far-right shelf on the second row from the bottom. The fourth part is placed there. Crouch for a clearer view. Fourth part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Fifth part: Rear Patio (Behind Double Tap) Go to the Rear Patio, just behind the Double Tap perk. Near the Ammo Cache, look to its left to find a small bucket. Inside the bucket is the fifth part. Fifth part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Sixth part: Library Head to the Library area. To the left of the large wall painting, you’ll see an empty frame standing on the ground, supported by the wall. Check behind the frame to find the sixth and final part. Sixth part location (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) Repair Mr Peek Once you've gathered all six parts, head to the Motor Court, located just outside the Mansion entrance. You’ll spot a dog house nearby and a pile of sandbags where Mr Peek’s broken body parts are present. Press and hold the interact button to repair it. Location where you need to repair Mr Peek (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) This Easter Egg also proves helpful when upgrading your Ray Gun Mark II into the R (Yellow) variant. During this process, you'll need to place four Plant Seeds into planters and defend them. Since the area is quite compact and swarms of zombies will attack from all directions, having Donut by your side can make a big difference.

With the Sentinel Artifact acquired, the crew finally meets with S.A.M. to try and save Maxis from the Dark Aether while Richtofen still lurks in the shadows. To survive the horrors of the mansion, players will need to know how to gain access to the map’s Pack-a-Punch machine. So, allow me to explain how to unlock this important mechanic in the new map. This guide will show players how to unlock the Pack-a-Punch on the Shattered Veil map in Black Ops 6 Zombies. How To Unlock The Shattered Veil Pack-a-Punch in Black Ops 6 Zombies You will start each game of Shattered Veil in the Garden Pond at the base of the hill where the mansion sits. Make your way up the hill and through either Shem’s Hedge or the Conservatory. These two paths will meet back in the Upper Terrace, which will lead to the Motor Court. From here, head into the mansion. Now that you are inside the building, you will have two paths that you can take: The right path that leads to the library and the left path that goes into the hallways and bedrooms. You will need to go to both halves of the map to find items that are needed to access the secret lab beneath the manor. Go through the east path to find the Library. Go up to the second floor and go to the southeast corner to find a zombified Maintenance Worker. Eliminate the Zombies and it will drop a Fuse. Now go to the west side of the mansion, go through the Nursery, and onto the West Balcony. From the Balcony, go back inside and through the door on the left to find the Director’s Room. Damage the computer in the corner of the room that has a red light pulsing in it. This will cause it to drop the Circuit board. Now that you have these two parts, go to the Banquette Hall. You can find this room by going to the north end of the map and going through the doors opposite the Double Tap Root Beer Perk Machine. This is where you can find the elevator. Go to the back of the elevator and interact with an open panel to repair the elevator. Then, interact with the hand scanner next to the elevator door. This will open the door and a horde of Zombies will spill out. Defeat the undead and interact with the scanner again. The elevator will drop and you will be able to zipline down to the Mainframe Chamber and finally meet the S.A.M. A.I. Go to the southeast or southwest part of the Mainframe Chamber to find a staircase. Go to the top of the stairs to reach Security Overlook. This is where you will find the Pack-a-Punch Machine. Unlike Terminus or The Tomb, this machine won’t move during the game. This means you only every need to come to this spot if you want to upgrade your weapons! You can now unlock the Pack-a-Punch machine on Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Stay tuned to Gameranx for more news, updates, and guides for Black Ops 6 as well as other great games in the future.
- [Interview With Artist Dave Dick (Awesome Art) - JoBlo](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/interview-with-artist-dave-dick-awesome-art-joblo/) - For years, Awesome Art has been about two things only – awesome art and the artists that create it. With that in mind, we thought why not take the first week of the month to showcase these awesome artists even more? Welcome to “Awesome Artist We’ve Found Around The Net.” In this column, we are focusing on one artist and the awesome art that they create, whether they be amateur, up and coming, or well established. The goal is to uncover these artists so even more people become familiar with them. We ask these artists a few questions to see their origins, influences, and more. If you are an awesome artist or know someone that should be featured, feel free to contact me at any time at [email protected].This month we are very pleased to bring you the awesome art of… Dave Dick Dave Dick is a Philadelphia-based illustrator who specializes in the unsettling and macabre. Drawing inspiration from childhood nightmares and a lifelong love of horror films, his meticulous works grace movie posters, book covers, and more, sending shivers down spines with intricate details and chilling atmospheres. Despite the darkness he conjures, Dave maintains a vibrant personal life, balancing his craft with the joys of being a husband, father, and pet owner. This unexpected duality fuels his artistry, proving that even the spookiest minds have a soft spot for family and a purring cat. JOBLO: What got you started as an artist?DAVE: It was probably the first time I made a homemade greeting card for my mom as a kid, and she cried a little. That moment sealed my destiny as an artist. The rush of stirring raw emotion through my art became a dragon I’ve been chasing ever since. Who were some of your favorite artists growing up?There have been a lot over the years, from Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud to Tim Burton and Stephen Gammell. But the ones who really made an impression on me would have to be Ralph Steadman, Ashley Wood, and Dave McKean. Who do you really dig these days, follow on Instagram?Oh so many! But here are a few that I’m really digging lately. Ken Miller, Sophia Rapata, Justin Valliere, Jeremy Parker, Jed Leiknes, Delic Saike, Meth Fawn. What advice would you have for budding artists today?Draw every day, embrace every risk, never measure yourself against other artists, and network as much as you can. What should we be looking out for from you in the future?By the time this interview comes out, my latest exhibit will already be in full swing. I’m part of a group show called Master of Suspense: The Alfred Hitchcock Tribute Art Exhibit at Sugar Mynt Gallery in South Pasadena, CA. The show runs until May, and in September, I’ll be part of another group show paying homage to the late, great David Lynch. It’s called Transcendental: Artwork Inspired by David Lynch at Talleyville Gallery in Wilmington, DE. Additionally, I’ve been working on a few books that will feature both interior and cover artwork. They’re slated to be published later this year, but the titles and release dates haven’t been announced yet. I’ll share details as soon as they’re available on my social media. Being a fansite, we have to ask you… What are some of your favorite movies/TV shows of all time?This is like asking me to pick a favorite child.. it feels wrong to narrow it down. Among my top horror movies are The Thing (1982), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Return of the Living Dead (1985), and The Blair Witch Project (1999). As for non-horror, some of my favorites are Dumb and Dumber, The Big Lebowski, John Wick, Drive, and Superbad. On the TV side, my current favorite show has to be Severance. It’s one of the best series to come around in a long time. Other favorites include Yellowjackets, From, Silo, The Righteous Gemstones, What We Do in the Shadows, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Bob’s Burgers.

- [An Interview with Stephen Cognetti, Director of '825 FOREST ROAD' - PopHorror](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/an-interview-with-stephen-cognetti-director-of-825-forest-road-pophorror/) - I have always been a big fan of found footage, and to me, nothing is better than Stephen Cognetti’s Hell House LLC series. Cgnetti is gearing up for the release of his new (not found footage) movie, 825 Forest Road. We were able to sit down with Stephen for an in-depth interview. PopHorror: When did you first find your love for horror movies? Stephen Cognetti: I think everybody who loves horror movies got into it when they were way too young to get into it. That’s gonna give me nightmares for a long time, and that’s how love always begins, and for me, it was the 80s, when I was way too young. Friday the 13th was something that my brother and I would sneak and watch in the basement, or something, and Nightmare on Elm Street was a huge one that gave me nightmares forever. However, the scariest thing that I’ve ever seen in my life was The Exorcist by far. That’s stayed with me ever since. PopHorror: Did the filming process of 825 Forest Road differ without the illusion of found footage? Stephen Cognetti: Yeah, it was a very tough It was longer, shoot, there was a tougher shoot. Any time you have coverage in general film, filming narratively. It’s longer scheduled, tighter days Because found footage is always just one single camera. Every scene was shot in a traditional narrative. We’ll have many camera angles for every single scene. So making your days is a lot tougher, but we did have more days to shoot. The average Hell House film takes about I would say 12 to 14 days to shoot. I did have 22 days to shoot on this. So I feel like It was a good amount of time. However, it’s still more of a challenge just because we have much more to do on a film like this PopHorror: I grew up in the coal region myself, and a lot of us have a darker persona. Is that how you wanted the movie to be perceived in the town? Stephen Cognetti: Yeah, it just I was just for me. It was always just wanting to do something about small town folklore, like the every town every small town has its legends. It’s old-fashioned stories. It’s tall tales Mythologies, and just like what is this town’s tale? So I think where I grew up, in Pennsylvania, and I think every town has its story, and you know most of them, I think not 9/10 times; they’re not true. However, it’s fun to think if they were, I just wanted to make that kind of “What is the local legend in this town?” But what if it were actually true, not just something, something actually traumatic that people are currently dealing with, not just something that’s fun? They laugh and tell stories about their legend to the newbies [embedded content] PopHorror: Was there a certain reason you chose Jim Thorpe as a filming location? Stephen Cognetti: Yeah, there was a certain reason. I think it was best for what I wanted the town to look like and feel like, and it was also more accessible to me. So Jim Thorpe is only like an hour and a half away from where I was, and so when I first wrote this film, I would just drive the Jim Thorpe on my own before I even knew if I was making this film or not. I would drive through Jim Thorpe. I would look at houses up and down those streets and check things out and just kind of visualize the film in this town, and then once we finally got back in and Epic Films came, and I was able to meet the producers who wanted to back the film I told them about Jim Thorpe and they were very enthusiastic they said yeah, Jim Thorpe is a great idea. Let’s do it, and Jim Thorpe is a very friendly town. They’re great to us, so many good places to eat, the catering for everybody, the casting crew, and places to stay. It’s such a good town. If I could film another movie there tomorrow, I would. PopHorror: Jim Thorpe is notorious for hauntings. Were there any weird experiences? Stephen Cognetti: Yeah, it is. I was hoping we were able to film something odd. I think one of the best places is the old jail cell. It’s got this old, like really creepy jail cell with a place where they would hang people as well, and I always kept on trying to think of scenes to happen in thereAnd then would we be able to get access to that place? I wanted to film in there, but nothing ever happened to us. Well, we were there because, unfortunately, I don’t think ghosts exist, but it’s always fun to believe PopHorror: Were you influenced by Silent Hill? Stephen Cognetti: Not very much at all. I think for me, it’s just it was just my own personal nightmare. I think what influenced me the most is just my love of simple haunted house stories, going back to when I read one of the first horror novels. It was Matheson’s Hell House, and that’s a very old haunted house. That’s actually a haunted mansion tale, and I love that story so much, and I think that’s always stuck with me, and I always wanted to make a haunted house tale, at its bones, a very simple concept film, but what happens within that concept was fun to explore for me PopHorror: What was your big takeaway from stepping out of found footage? Stephen Cognetti; Well, I enjoy non-found footage the most. I enjoyed traditional filmmaking more. I think it’s where Hell House happened in found footage because that’s what made the most sense for Hell House. The scares are better in Hell House because it was found footage, and not every story should be told. Just because I did the Hell House and found footage doesn’t mean it fits every subsequent story I write after that; it fit really well for Hell House. It wouldn’t fit right for this, and I enjoy traditional filmmaking a lot more. We shot 825 Forest Road between Hell House 3 and Hell House 4: Origins. We filmed this in 2021, and it was a lot of fun to step away from Hell House: Lake of Fire. It felt good to do something outside of the Hell House world and outside of found footage. It was a lot of fun Thank you for your time, Stephen! 825 Forest Road is streaming now on Shudder! You can read our review here.
- [This Mexican zombie movie faces the apocalypse through children's eyes - Los Angeles Times](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/this-mexican-zombie-movie-faces-the-apocalypse-through-childrens-eyes-los-angeles-times/) - As a film student in the mid-2000s, Mexican writer-director Isaac Ezban watched Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece “Pan’s Labyrinth” in awe. That Del Toro juxtaposed luminous elements fit for a fairy tale with unflinching violence prompted an epiphany for Ezban.The then-emerging filmmaker thought to himself: Are you allowed to do that in a movie? Newsletter The Latinx experience chronicled Get the Latinx Files newsletter for stories that capture the multitudes within our communities. Enter email address Sign Me Up You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. “In an interview, Del Toro talked about the contrast between beauty and brutality, and that really stuck with me,” Ezban told De Los during a recent Zoom conversation. “It’s something I’ve tried to do in my work, and this movie is the one that reflects that contrast the most.”Ezban is referring to his latest genre effort, a tonally unpredictable zombie movie titled “Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse,” which hits theaters across the country on Friday,In the aftermath of a global pandemic, three young brothers fend for themselves in an isolated home tucked away in a forest.The youngest, Benjamin (Mateo Ortega Casillas), believes their parents will eventually return to join them, but Salvador (Farid Escalante Correa), the teenage sibling whose firm hand has kept the boys alive, knows the harsher truth. Beyond the illusion of safety they’ve procured, rabid undead creatures and religious fanatics lurk. Historically, there have been few examples of zombie films made in Mexico, even if the horror genre at large has always proven widely popular with Mexican audiences.“Mexicans aren’t as fond of gore or guts, which zombie films often lend themselves to,” Ezban offers as a reason for the lack of homegrown iterations. ”What Mexicans love are paranormal stories, demonic possessions, exorcisms, witchcraft, haunted houses.”With his 2022 film “Mal de ojo” (Evil Eye), which is streaming on Vix, Ezban tapped into that taste for the supernatural with a story inspired by folktales about witches.But while otherworldly horror films are more commercially viable in Mexico, with “Párvulos,” the director took a chance on the zombie subgenre as a vehicle to explore his fascination with narratives where young protagonists mature after a difficult ordeal.“Coming-of-age tropes and horror go hand in hand, because horror is always about discovering another world, and coming-of-age stories are indeed also about discovering a new world,” he explains.Despite what anybody might think, Ezban assures me that “Párvulos” was conceived long before the COVID-19 pandemic upended the world in 2020. Even though the notion of a deadly disease and the consequences of an untested vaccine only serve as the setup, those aspects of the story have garnered the most attention.“My intention was to include it just as a little hint. The story isn’t about that,” he says, “but it’s very interesting that that’s always been the first question from the press and what the distributor decided to include in the trailer. That’s what causes controversy in the reviews.”

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 22-year-old actor explains that there were moments when he felt he was not taken seriously due to his age while working on his horror-comedy Hell of a Summer. "It was a long process. I started writing this movie at 16 ... and I don't know how we got through it," Wolfhard candidly admits. "That was the entire process, but we were lucky enough to have amazing people behind us and producers that really believed in us as filmmakers," adds the Stranger Things star.

Billy Bryk and Finn Wolfhard in 'Hell of a Summer.'. Aggregate Films According to Wolfhard, he learned a lot from the first-time experience, and he thinks his young age played more of a beneficial role, rather than a negative one, in making the film what it became. "Being a teenager — and just having a door shut in your face over and over and over again — you just had this blind optimism, or blind confidence, because you don't really see what the worst thing that can happen is by sending a script to this person or sending a script to that person and trying to get your foot in the door," he says. "I think, in a lot of ways, being young really helped." However, Wolfhard adds that he now approaches future projects with caution, as he still expects to be met with apprehension among veteran members of the entertainment industry. "I'm only 22, that's still very young, and even though I made a film, I'm expecting to still be treated like I'm a younger person that doesn't really know what they're doing. But I'm at peace with proving it to people however many times," he explains. "I think it's something that gets easier over time, because it just becomes a part of the process, and then, slowly, it goes away, I guess, as you get older." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Hell of a Summer, written and directed by Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, follows camp counselors who must survive a masked killer that is murdering them one by one before the start of the summer. Alongside Wolfhard and Bryk, 25, the Neon-distributed movie — which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 — also stars Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Pardis Saremi, Rosebud Baker and Adam Pally. Wolfhard says he drew inspiration from many horror and comedy influences to craft the film. "Shaun of the Dead was a big influence, because I loved how funny it was, and I loved how character-driven it was. But at the same time, it was also just this great zombie movie," he says, adding, "I also loved Let the Right One In." "And I feel like a lot of stuff from childhood, a lot of teen comedies, a lot of older Seth Rogen movies, a lot of dramedies as well, influenced me," he continues. "I'm still hugely inspired by shows like South Park or early seasons of The Simpsons. The writing is just so incredible, and it is as good as any movie that comes out." Finn Wolfhard at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023. Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Still, "Scream King" Wolfhard feels at home in the horror genre. He has starred in various horror and thriller projects, from Stranger Things, The Turning and The Addams Family, to It: Chapters 1 and 2 , Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire. "It's definitely a genre that I feel comfortable in," Wolfhard tells PEOPLE. "But, if I were to do another horror movie again, it would have to really depend on the script and the story, because there's a lot of genres I'd love to tackle, and not only just as someone who wants to write movies, but also someone that wants to act as well." "It would have to depend on what the story was," he adds. "But if I were to do another horror movie, I'd probably want it to be pretty insane or just some original, crazy concept." Hell of a Summer is in theaters now.
- [The 14 Most Exciting Horror Movies Coming Out in 2025 - Inverse](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/the-14-most-exciting-horror-movies-coming-out-in-2025-inverse/) - The horror genre is off to a hot start in 2025 thanks to buzzy standouts like Companion, The Monkey, and Heart Eyes. An AI lovebot thriller, a murder-happy plaything, and a Valentine’s Day slasher are stealing (and stabbing) hearts — you love to see it. But it’s only April, and we still have plenty more horror releases to come. Will the rest of 2025 be as strong as its heights already through March? One can only hope.This year’s slate of yet-to-release horror films is as promising as ever. It’s a shame that Saw XI has been removed from the calendar (possibly dead) or that Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride and Insidious 6 were pushed to 2026, but don’t fret — there’s still plenty to stay excited about. That doesn’t even include festival darlings that appear out of nowhere. From reboots to sequels to originals, here are some of the most anticipated horror movies of 2025 yet to come.Sinners Michael B. Jordan plays double in the Ryan Coogler vampire thriller.Warner Bros.Ryan Coogler going full-gear horror genre is a beautiful thing. Trailers for Sinners bring bloodthirsty mischief to a 1930s Jim Crow-era nightmare that's giving From Dusk Till Dawn vibes. Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers Smoke and Stack in a supernatural flick pointing toward bigoted Southern vampires, showing plenty of footage from a swinging party turned violent standoff. It's got fanged teeth, plenty of weapons, and a killer cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo. Honestly, it's my top-of-the-mountain most anticipated horror film of 2025.Release date: April 18, 2025.Until Dawn Until Dawn looks nothing like the video game.Sony PicturesDavid F. Sandberg knows how to scare an audience (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation), and for that reason alone, I’m all-in on his Until Dawn adaptation. Sure, storytelling seemingly takes liberties with the game’s unique butterfly effect mechanic, but that’s necessary. Until Dawn is already incredibly cinematic — I don’t want a straightforward movie version of what I already played through. Writers Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler find an intriguing storytelling hook that feels like Cabin in the Woods but with a choose-your-own-adventure replayability.Frankly? In Sandberg I trust. Plus, we’ve got Peter Stormare returning — it’s far too early to count this video game horror flick out.Release date: April 25, 2025.Final Destination: BloodlinesGet ready for more gory kills in the sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise.Warner Bros.It’s been over a decade since Final Destination 5, and franchise fans are hungry for a return. That positions Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein’s Final Destination: Bloodlines as a hotly anticipated pre-summer horror release, ready to duel with Death’s designs yet again. Our first taste of Final Destination’s next chapter was a red-band kill setup — the good, gory stuff — but the full trailer is even more intriguing. A story cracked by Jon Watts looks to embrace series lore, including flashback premonitions and a notebook filled with familiar doodles. It’s a choice that could overcomplicate an otherwise simple concept of Rube Goldberg fatalities, but could also develop Final Destination in complex, more rewarding ways. Hopefully the latter.Release date: May 16, 2025.Bring Her Back Sally Hawkins stars in Bring Her Back.A24Danny and Michael Philippou earned a “be hyped about their next movie” pass after Talk To Me. Their next feature, Bring Her Back, looks to be just as upsetting and unnerving if its first trailer is any indication. Sally Hawkins and Billy Barratt star in a film that appears to be about letting the dead stay dead or resurrecting their bloated, rotting corpses. Quick cuts of snipped hair locks and ritual circles spell enough supernatural eeriness, married with the Philippou brothers’ soon-to-be-signature sense of dread. I’ve watched the trailer several times now, each time keying on new aspects to fear. That’s a vote of confidence with only a minute’s worth of footage available.Release date: May 30, 2025.Dangerous AnimalsSharks and serial killers? Who’d of thought of that combo.IFC FilmsDangerous Animals is only Sean Byrne's third movie since 2009's The Loved Ones — a crime given his immense talents — and this unsurprisingly looks like a blast. You've got Jai Courtney starring as a shark-obsessed serial killer who kidnaps a "savvy and free-spirited" surfer played by Hassie Harrison. The film's first trailer parallels the predatory instincts of sharks and Courtney's murderer, creating a nautically nasty vibe. It's what we've come to expect from Byrne, whose Australian Horror mean streak stands out. Truly one of the genre's most interesting filmmakers, even given the infuriatingly small sample size.Release date: June 6, 2025.28 Years LaterBoots, boots, boots.Sony PicturesDanny Boyle and Alex Garland return to the 28 Days Later franchise two decades after unleashing the rage virus on Great Britain. Given 28 Days Later's prestige, 28 Years Later should be on top of every horror fan's most anticipated list. Garland's screenplay fast-forwards to a future where survivors live amongst the infected. Mentions of cult leaders and NATO soldiers paint a picture of an apocalyptic wasteland where terror thrives. With a cast including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O'Connell, everything is pointing towards what could be one of the best horror films of the year.Release date: June 20, 2025.M3GAN 2.0M3GAN is back and more fabulous than ever.Universal PicturesWith M3GAN, Blumhouse “stumbled” into success, not knowing what they had (viral marketing campaigns are a powerful tool). M3GAN 2.0 seems to be fully embracing “That Bitch” energy, as pastel-pink advertisements depict the girly-pop dancing M3GAN fans love to meme. Gerard Johnstone returns as director alongside co-writer Akela Cooper, keeping M3GAN in familiar hands — but their story sounds fresh and bonkers. Allison Williams’ Gemma upgrades and unleashes M3GAN as a counter to “Amelia,” an AI-powered spy robot running on stolen M3GAN technology. So you’re telling me we’re essentially getting a battling mech movie except with popping-and-locking murderdolls? I am seated, as the kids say.Release date: June 27, 2025.I Know What You Did Last SummerThe I Know What You Did Last Summer poster.Sony PicturesThe nostalgia cycle is hard at work this summer, which extends to 2025’s I Know What You Did Last Summer. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s fourth entry into the franchise is a direct sequel to 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, like how David Gordon Green’s Halloween rebootquel only acknowledges the original. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return as Julie James and Ray Bronson, joining a new cast of slasher victims in a plot said to be heavily influenced by social media. It’ll be interesting to see if fans flock back to this Scream-lite franchise that never saw the same success, but I’m here for Robinson’s take after her nifty high school black comedy Do Revenge.Release date: July 18, 2025.Weapons Zach Cregger speaks about Weapons at CinemaCon 2025.VALERIE MACON/AFP/Getty ImagesZach Cregger’s follow-up to Barbarian entered an unprecedented bidding war with nothing but a spec script. New Line spent $38 million on Weapons before a single frame was shot, with possible final-cut privileges going to Cregger (pending test screenings). Early plot details describe Weapons as a “multi-related” plot involving police corruption, witchcraft, and blood rituals in a small Florida community, but little else is known. Josh Brolin replaced Pedro Pascal to join Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, and a stacked cast who will participate in the mayhem. If Weapons is anywhere near as unpredictable as Barbarian, we’re in for a treat.Release date: August 8, 2025.The Toxic AvengerAfter two years, Toxic Avenger finally comes out.CineverseRejoice, Toxic Avenger fans! Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger remake is no longer stuck in distribution limbo. We might even be able to thank Art the Clown and Terrifer 3’s box office success since Cineverse purchased distribution rights. I was one of the lucky few who got to behold The Toxic Avenger when it opened 2023’s Fantastic Fest, which I reviewed for Inverse. Now you’ll finally get to see all the Troma-inspired fun Blair cooked up, which is as grotesque and gore-forward as you’d expect. B-movie fans, this one’s for you.Release date: August 29, 2025.The Conjuring: The Last Rites Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.New Line CinemaJames Wan’s Conjurverse may not be cranking out as many spinoffs and sequels, but it’s still a noteworthy franchise. Michael Chaves will direct this year’s The Conjuring: The Last Rites, a presumed finale to the current timeline of Conjurverse stories. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as Lorraine and Ed Warren, continuing their more personal centerpiece in The Devil Made Me Do It. Their partnership through The Conjuring’s run represents top-notch genre acting that should be enough of a draw, as Lorraine and Ed have begun battling evils too close to home. Hopefully that continues, and The Last Rites sets a new bar for their portrayal of an iconic clairvoyant and demonologist duo.Release date: September 5, 2025.Him Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers promote Him at CinemaCon 2025.Jerod Harris/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesI don’t know what to expect from a “sports horror movie,” which is not a common subgenre, but Him has my attention. Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie’s screenplay was featured on 2022’s Black List — then titled GOAT — with Monkeypaw Pictures attached. Justin Tipping is directing, and Marlon Wayans will star alongside Tyriq Withers and Julia Fox. All we know about plot details is that “a promising young football player joins an isolated compound to train under a dynasty team's aging quarterback,” so I’m guessing the veteran has a dark secret. Maybe something along the lines of John Malkovich’s culty musician in Opus? I’m all about an athletic thriller based on the horrors of getting to the top (if that’s the route).Release date: September 19, 2025.The Black Phone 2Ethan Hawke as the Grabber in The Black Phone.Universal Pictures/Moviestore/ShutterstockThe Grabber's coming to grab again in The Black Phone 2 — no shock after hauling in $160+ million worldwide on a reported $16-$18 million budget. Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Ethan Hawke are all reprising their roles in what's described as a high school coming-of-age movie. Scott Derrickson returns to direct as well as co-writer C. Robert Cargill, with confirmation that Joe Hill was involved in shaping the sequel's story. Apparently, the "iconic imagery" of the Grabber's masks greatly influenced where things are headed. As a fan of The Black Phone, I can't wait to see what about Hill's pitch brought Derrickson and company back for another.Release date: October 17, 2025.FrankensteinGuillermo del Toro doing Frankenstein? Say no more.Presley Ann/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesWhy are we excited for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film? Because it's ​​Guillermo del Toro. This is his dream project, one he's been on the record talking about since 2007. "The best moments in my mind of Frankenstein, of the novel, are yet to be filmed," claims del Toro. His American Gothic take on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel will have tinges of a John Milton tragedy as del Toro once again explores the humanity of “monsters” by societal standards. Netflix finally stepped up and greenlit del Toro's baby, with Jacob Elordi starring as Frankenstein's creation. With Gyllenhaal's The Bride pushed out, del Toro's Frankenstein is now in the brightest spotlight.Release date: November 2025.Learn Something New Every DayMore Like This

- [Great Vampire Movies You Might Have Missed - Flickering Myth](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/great-vampire-movies-you-might-have-missed-flickering-myth/) - Casey Chong presents seven great vampire movies that may have went under you radar… The vampire genre is as old as time, stretching way back to 1922 and F.W. Murnau’s black-and-white horror masterpiece Nosferatu. The genre has since evolved as time went by, bringing us more movies such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, ‘Salem’s Lot, Fright Night, Blade and Let the Right One In, to name a few. Those are some of the recognizable and well-known vampire movies, but what about the others that are either obscure, underappreciated, or unjustly forgotten, which deserve more attention? This brings us to our list of seven great vampire movies you may have missed… Bloodsucking Bastards (2015) Bloodsucking Bastards boasts the unlikely yet fun marriage of a workplace comedy with the contemporary vampire-horror tropes. It’s an offbeat premise cooked up by Brian James O’Connell, who served as the director along with a story credit. The movie, which takes place in and out of the office, embraces relatable issues from dealing with different types of employees to corporate bureaucracy but plays for laughs – the kind of workplace comedy reminiscent of TV’s The Office and Mike Judge’s Office Space. Adding in the vampires taking over the office and that’s where Bloodsucking Bastards gets, well, bloody. The movie doesn’t skimp over the graphic violence and gore as genre fans will have a field day and enjoy watching plenty of them on a vivid display. Then, there are the actors including Pedro Pascal, who shows up as the wretched sales manager, Max. Pale Blood (1990) This direct-to-video vampire horror-thriller has a unique serial-killer twist, complete with a detective-like, well-dressed vampire played by George Chakiris arriving in L.A. to investigate a series of mysterious murders. The murder victims look like the work of vampires, where their blood is being drained out. If you can get past Chakiris’ somewhat odd-sounding name of Michael Fury like he’s supposed to belong in a chopsocky kung fu movie, he brings enough stoicism to his no-nonsense character that contrasts well with the late Wings Hauser. The latter appears in a scenery-chewing supporting turn as Van Vandameer, a self-proclaimed video artist for all things erotic and fetish including one of the scenes revolving around an egg crack in the underside of a woman’s knee. The movie throws in some psychic elements, offbeat comedy and even live performances from the California punk-rock band, Agent Orange. Innocent Blood (1992) John Landis previously found a perfect formula that blends werewolf horror and comedy in the genre-defining An American Werewolf in London. He repeated those two genres but instead of another werewolf movie, it’s a movie about vampires while giving Innocent Blood with a mob angle. As ambitious as it sounds, Landis’s 1992 horror-comedy barely made a bite at the box office, resulting in only nearly $5 million against its $20 million budget. The movie may have been clunky in places but Innocent Blood deserves better recognition in many areas. Landis casts Anne Parillaud, best known for her breakthrough role in La Femme Nikita, in a sexy and feral performance as the vampire Marie. The movie is equally notable for Robert Loggia’s supporting role as the fearsome mob boss Sal The Shark, whose character turns into a vampire at one point and becomes the highlight of the movie. The pitch-black humor that made An American Werewolf in London such a darkly fun cinematic experience lands well in this movie. Innocent Blood has plenty of gore and violence while the effects are just as top-notch including a scene revolving around a vampire character’s gruesome death after exposure to sunlight. Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971) John D. Hancock, who would go on to direct Bang the Drum Slowly and television series such as The Twilight Zone, made his directorial debut in Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. The title may sound like a horror comedy but it’s more of a deliberate psychological horror with vampire-movie elements. Hancock favors atmosphere-heavy visuals rather than frequent in-your-face shocks while bringing out the best in his main star, Zohra Lampert playing the titular character, who was previously hospitalized due to a mental breakdown. Hancock, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Lee Kalcheim, builds the slow-burning dread right from the get-go that continues to linger throughout the movie. The story constantly has Jessica having inner voices telling her, making you wonder if she’s having a relapse into her previous mental state. The subsequent introduction of a vagrant named Emily (Mariclare Costello) may or may not be a vampire becomes the central mystery before the movie culminates in a genuinely eerie conclusion. The Addiction (1995) Abel Ferrara brings his indie sensibility to the vampire genre in The Addiction and shot it in a crisp black and white. Hardly a visual gimmick, the monochrome visuals made the movie distinctly neo-noir vibe, thanks to Ken Kelsch’s atmospheric cinematography. At the center of the movie is Lili Taylor’s nuanced lead performance as Kathleen Conklin, an NYU philosophy student who finds herself being attacked by a mysterious woman one night. The result of her neck being bitten begins to show signs of vampirism. And here is where Ferrara uses the familiar theme as a bleak metaphor for drug addiction, temptation, and the dark side of human nature. The movie delves into Kathleen’s physical and mental struggles and how a single bite changes her forever. Christopher Walken shows up in a small but memorable role as the vampire, Peina. Martin (1977) George A. Romero is primarily known for his zombie genre but some of his other works are sadly underrated, namely Martin. The title in question refers to John Amplas’s character – a shy and introverted young man who believes he’s a vampire. He doesn’t bite but instead, uses a syringe with drugs to inject his victims before satisfying his craving for blood. Romero incorporates recurring black-and-white flashbacks of Martin in the olden days but his story never explicitly addressed whether he’s a vampire or simply suffering from a severe delusional disorder. Like his zombie movies, Romero always has a knack for injecting metaphors and social commentary into his films and the same can be said for Martin, which has something to say about teen angst, loneliness, and mental illness. Byzantium (2012) Neil Jordan is no stranger to exploring the vampire theme, which can be seen in his 1994 high-profile Interview with the Vampire starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. He returns to the familiar territory in Byzantium and instead of a period setting, the story takes place in a modern era. Based on Moira Buffini’s novel “A Vampire Story”, who also contributed to the screenplay, the movie explores the mother-daughter relationship between Clara and Eleanor. Played by Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan, they deliver great performances in their respective roles. Jordan also subtly incorporated a coming-of-age angle seen from Eleanor’s perspective. He also has an eye for striking visuals, evidently in his graphic depiction of blood and gore while contrasting them well with the hauntingly melancholic vibe of his storytelling.

- [Wildfire Outbreak: Zombie apocalypse filming in Porthkerry | Barry And District News](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/05/wildfire-outbreak-zombie-apocalypse-filming-in-porthkerry-barry-and-district-news/) - Wildfire Cymru Productions has provided an update on filming for "Wildfire Outbreak" in Porthkerry. The production company said: "Our successful filming at Porthkerry on Saturday, gave opportunities for up and coming actors and film crew from the local area to be part of an apocalyptic zombie series called Wildfire Outbreak." The producers have described the film - which has also been filmed in Barry and Cowbridge - as 'a series based on The Walking Dead, and UK based, an interpretation of what an apocalyptic world of ‘zombie type virus hit Walkers’ would be like.' The storyline is set before the global Wildfire Outbreak in The Walking Dead's US universe on August 25, 2010. The producers said: "In fact, five months before, and a cover-up of what a virus would take here in the UK." They added: "This is a low-budget production within the community and for local people to get involved in filming. "Full episodes for now are due to be released over the next two months, as episode one: The Announcement has completed filming." More filming is planned, and those interested in taking part are encouraged to get in touch with the production company. They also offer regular acting classes for 14 to 18-year-olds, and another for all age groups. Wildfire Cymru Productions is also working on other projects, including "Lost Days," another apocalyptic script, and an investigative series. The company also offers audio work and supports a local initiative at St. Barrucs Chapel on September 27 to produce and perform a yearly historical-based play. They are developing the movie officially on their YouTube channel: @thewalkingdeaduk. For those interested in participating in the production, either in front of or behind the camera, contact Wildfire Cymru Productions at Wildfirecymruproductions@hotmail.com.

If you watch it one of those theaters, you may experience a strange phenomenon: Kids reciting the lines along with the movie and bursting into spontaneous applause even though Minecraft has only been out for a day or two and none of these kids has seen the movie before.That’s exactly what happened at my Minecraft screening earlier today at a multiplex in Brooklyn. Jack Black said the phrase “Chicken jockey!” and half the audience said it with him, then erupted into cheers and whoops. It was like the real Jack Black had just walked into the room or something. They were elated; the rest of us were very confused.The reason behind the curious phenomenon, like so many things these days: TikTok. Several compilations of kids yelling along with Minecraft have gone viral on the social media app. Like this one, for example, which already has nearly half a million likes. It ranks the “best 10 moments in the theater,” most of which are the same lines you’ll hear repeated in the theater.READ MORE: The 10 Worst Movies of the Last 10 YearsI’m sorry, how is “I ... am Steve!” not number one on this list? That’s clearly the best line delivery in Minecraft, unless you count one of the five times Jason Momoa screams “YEAYUHH!” which somehow didn’t make this supercut at all! Who made this ranking?!?My theater was rowdy at times (especially when Black said “I ... am Steve!”), but I was lucky; at one screening that popped up on TikTok the police were apparently called after the crowd participation got too rowdy.It makes you wonder: What would TikTok have done with The Rocky Horror Picture Show? That movie may never have flopped in the first place; thanks in part to teens’ obsession with the film’s quirky dialogue, A Minecraft Movie is looking at an opening weekend box office in the neighborhood of $130 million in the U.S. alone. At this rate there will be TikTok videos of kids freaking out about the dialogue in A Minecraft Movie 2 before you know it.A Minecraft Movie is in theaters now. If you see it in a theater, you better be ready to hear some kids screaming “CHICKEN JOCKEY!” and applauding like lunatics.

- [Petition to Save Mall from the Original Dawn of the Dead - Horror Society](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/petition-to-save-mall-from-the-original-dawn-of-the-dead-horror-society/) - Guest article written by John Brennan https://linktr.ee/badtechno There are shopping malls, and then there is the shopping mall: Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania, the original filming location of George A. Romero’s seminal 1978 horror film Dawn of the Dead. To fans of horror, film history, and American pop culture, this isn’t just a mall—it’s sacred ground. As rumors swirl about Walmart’s purchase and redevelopment of the site, one thing must be made clear: tearing down or drastically altering the Monroeville Mall would be an act of cultural erasure. Dawn of the Dead is more than just a zombie movie, it’s a blood-soaked critique of consumerism, a genre-defining film full of allegory and social commentary. The mall itself became a metaphor: a place where the undead are drawn by muscle memory, trudging endlessly through the consumer temple of their former lives. It’s ironic, then, that the same mall that satirized American materialism now faces the threat of being flattened and repurposed by one of its most potent symbols—Walmart. Preserving Monroeville Mall is about more than honoring a horror classic, it’s about recognizing that places can become part of the cultural consciousness. Just as Graceland endures for Elvis fans, or the M Street Steps in Georgetown draw aficionados of The Exorcist, Monroeville Mall remains a pilgrimage site for horror fans around the world. Every year, fans attend “Living Dead Weekend,” a convention celebrating the film and its legacy. Devoted Dawn of the Dead-heads search the mall’s corridors for exact filming locations, tracing the path of scenes. Eventually, they arrive at the statue bust honoring the late, great George A. Romero, the visionary who turned this shopping center into sacred ground. Also at the heart of Monroeville Mall’s enduring legacy is the Living Dead Museum, an educational archive and a shrine to Romero’s undead universe. Demolishing this space to replace it with another big-box retail outlet would mean more than the loss of a shopping center—it would be the loss of a site of artistic history. In an age where cities are learning to capitalize on their cultural landmarks, it seems short-sighted to destroy one of horror cinema’s most important real-world sets. Why not lean in? The mall is still thriving. Rather than razing the past, Walmart could easily find a way to incorporate a new store while keeping this historic location intact. A balance of commerce with cultural tourism. It wouldn’t just be preservation—it would be smart business. Walmart, a corporation with massive influence and resources, has the opportunity to make a decision that supports community memory, honors cinematic history, and strengthens its relationship with the public. Horror fans are loyal, passionate, and eager to spend money where their favorite stories come to life. What better demographic to embrace than the legions of Dawn of the Dead devotees? Monroeville Mall is more than a building—it’s a monument. Let it stand. Let the escalators keep humming. Let the sound of Romero zombies echo eternally through its halls. Some dead things are worth keeping alive.

Naturally, she misinterprets her programming to protect her owner and goes on a kill spree. What else is going to happen in a movie about an artificial intelligence?In the sequel, someone has created an new AI that’s more lifelike and deadly than M3GAN was ... which means the human characters (primarily Allison Williams, the scientist who created M3GAN in the first place) must resurrect M3GAN in a new, stronger body to fight the latest A.I. threat.That’s right: M3GAN sequel goes full Terminator 2: Judgment Day, turning the A.I. villain from the first film into an unlikely lethal protector of the human heroes against an even more menacing killer robot.See for yourself in the M3GAN 2.0 trailer below.READ MORE: 10 Horror Movies So Extreme They Made People SickFinally, a movie that dares to ask the question “What if Virtuosity wasn’t silly enough?”Here is the sequel’s official synopsis:Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.M3GAN 2.0 is scheduled to open in theaters on June 27.The Funniest Horror Sequel TitlesInstead of just slapping a "2" on the end, these horror sequels tried something different.

While mainstream franchises like The Conjuring and Insidious dominate box office discussions, the demonic horror landscape contains numerous hidden gems that deliver equally chilling experiences without the same level of recognition. These overlooked films often take more experimental approaches to possession narratives, replacing predictable jump scares with psychological depth and an unsettling atmosphere. What makes these forgotten treasures particularly effective is their willingness to explore the darker corners of the possession premise, examining how supernatural forces manipulate human vulnerabilities and trauma. Videos by ComicBook.com Here’s our pick of seven underrated demonic horror films representing some of the most innovative and disturbing entries in the possession subgenre. The Blackcoat’s Daughter Image courtesy of A24 Osgood Perkins’s directorial debut creates a profound sense of isolation and dread within the empty halls of a Catholic boarding school during winter break. The film follows two students left behind during vacation — freshman Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and senior Rose (Lucy Boynton) — while a mysterious third storyline involving a hospital escapee named Joan (Emma Roberts) gradually reveals its connection to the main narrative. What distinguishes The Blackcoat’s Daughter is its methodical pacing and unsettling atmosphere, eschewing traditional jump scares for a slow-burning psychological horror that culminates in shocking violence. Shipka delivers a haunting performance as the increasingly disturbed Kat, whose deteriorating mental state may or may not be the result of demonic influence. The film’s greatest strength lies in its innovative non-linear structure, which transforms what could have been a straightforward possession tale into a complex meditation on grief and loneliness. With its muted color palette, sparse dialogue, and brilliant sound design featuring subtle demonic whispers, Perkins crafts a uniquely contemplative horror experience that rewards patient viewers with its devastating emotional payoff. A Dark Song Image courtesy of IFC Midnight Liam Gavin’s debut feature takes the familiar concept of summoning supernatural forces and transforms it into a grueling, psychologically complex ritual horror. The film centers on Sophia (Catherine Walker), a grieving mother who hires occultist Joseph Solomon (Steve Oram) to perform a months-long Abramelin ritual in an isolated Welsh house to contact her guardian angel — and through it, her deceased son. Unlike most possession films where demonic elements arrive suddenly, A Dark Song meticulously details every painful step of the occult process, creating a unique tension as the characters endure the physical and psychological torments required by the ceremony. The confined setting becomes increasingly claustrophobic as strange occurrences multiply, while the contentious relationship between Sophia and Solomon adds another layer of unpredictability to the proceedings. What elevates A Dark Song above typical occult horror is its exploration of grief and forgiveness, culminating in a transcendent finale that subverts expectations while remaining true to the film’s spiritual themes. [RELATED: 7 Best Horror Movies About Cults, Including Midsommar] Baskin Image courtesy of IFC Midnight Turkish director Can Evrenol’s nightmarish descent into hell transforms a routine police call into a surreal journey through increasingly disturbing layers of reality. The film follows five police officers who respond to a distress call at an abandoned building, only to find themselves trapped in what appears to be a gateway to hell ruled by a grotesque figure known as “The Father” (Mehmet Cerrahoglu). Baskin distinguishes itself through its striking visual composition, transitioning from the naturalistic lighting of its opening scenes to the blood-soaked, crimson-hued hellscape of its final act. The film’s disorienting narrative structure mimics the confusion of its protagonists, with dream sequences and flashbacks blurring the boundary between reality and nightmare. Cerrahoglu delivers an unforgettable performance as The Father, his naturally distinctive appearance enhanced by minimal makeup to create one of horror’s most uniquely disturbing antagonists. While the extreme violence might alienate some viewers, Evrenol’s artistic vision transforms what could have been exploitative material into a genuinely unnerving exploration of guilt, punishment, and the thin membrane keeping us safe from darker dimensions. The Taking of Deborah Logan Image courtesy of Millennium Entertainment The Taking of Deborah Logan is a found-footage gem that cleverly disguises its demonic elements within a seemingly straightforward documentary about Alzheimer’s disease. The story follows a student film crew documenting elderly Deborah Logan’s (Jill Larson) cognitive decline, only to discover that something far more sinister than dementia is causing her increasingly bizarre behavior. Director Adam Robitel brilliantly subverts the limitations of the found-footage format by providing a compelling reason for the cameras to keep rolling even as the situation deteriorates, while the documentary premise allows for natural exposition about Deborah’s life. Larson delivers a remarkable performance as Deborah, transitioning seamlessly between a vulnerable elderly woman and the terrifying vessel for an ancient evil. The film’s genius lies in how it parallels the very real horror of watching a loved one lose themselves to dementia with supernatural possession, creating emotional resonance rarely found in demon-focused horror. Despite its modest budget, the film builds to a genuinely shocking climax featuring practical effects that have become iconic among horror fans. The Dark and the Wicked Image courtesy of RLJE Films Bryan Bertino’s relentlessly bleak rural nightmare follows siblings Louise (Marin Ireland) and Michael (Michael Abbott Jr.) as they return to their family farm to care for their dying father, only to encounter a malevolent presence that has already driven their mother to suicide. Set against the isolated backdrop of a remote Texas farm, the film creates an atmosphere of hopelessness and inevitability as the demonic entity methodically destroys the family. The Dark and the Wicked refuses to offer conventional horror comforts — no rules are established for fighting the entity, no expert characters arrive to explain the situation, and redemptive arcs are cruelly subverted. Furthermore, Ireland and Abbott Jr. deliver powerfully restrained performances as siblings forced to witness their family’s destruction while being psychologically tormented themselves. The film’s greatest strength lies in its exploration of how grief and family obligation can leave us vulnerable to malevolent influences, creating a meditation on familial guilt that feels as emotionally devastating as it is supernaturally terrifying. [RELATED: 7 Best Single-Setting Horror Movies] Fallen Image courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Despite its innovative approach to demonic possession of Fallen, this atmospheric 1998 thriller starring Denzel Washington has largely faded from public memory. The film follows Philadelphia detective John Hobbes (Washington) as he investigates murders that appear to be copycat killings of a recently executed serial killer, only to discover that a fallen angel named Azazel can possess humans through touch and is targeting him personally. Unlike most possession narratives focusing on a single victim, Fallen presents a uniquely mobile antagonist who can transfer between hosts within moments, creating paranoia as any character could be possessed. Director Gregory Hoblit builds tension through subtle visual cues and performance shifts as different actors portray the same demonic entity, while Washington anchors the film with a compelling performance as an increasingly isolated protagonist. Though initially overlooked upon release, the film’s exploration of institutional corruption, theological concepts, and psychological manipulation makes it a sophisticated demonic thriller that deserves rediscovery by modern horror fans. Starry Eyes Image courtesy of Dark Sky Films This savage satire of Hollywood ambition reframes the classic Faustian bargain through a gruesome body horror lens. Starry Eyes follows struggling actress Sarah Walker (Alexandra Essoe) as she lands the opportunity of a lifetime with the mysterious production company Astraeus Pictures, only to discover that their casting process involves ritualistic transformation and sacrifice. Essoe delivers a fearlessly committed performance, portraying Sarah’s desperate ambition and her horrifying transformation with convincing intensity. The film’s brutal third act doesn’t shy away from graphic violence, yet these moments feel earned after the meticulous character development of earlier scenes. Starry Eyes’ incisive commentary on the entertainment industry’s exploitative nature suggests that the process of becoming a “star” requires sacrificing not just dignity but humanity itself. By framing demonic possession as a deliberate choice made in pursuit of success rather than an unwanted invasion, the film offers a uniquely disturbing perspective on how ambition can corrupt the soul.

- [A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 director Jack Sholder has been working on a 4K remaster](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/a-nightmare-on-elm-street-part-2-director-jack-sholder-has-been-working-on-a-4k-remaster/) - A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge director Jack Sholder has been working on a 4K remaster of the film [embedded content] Last year, Warner Bros. / New Line Cinema celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Wes Craven-directed classic A Nightmare on Elm Street by giving the film a 4K UHD release. There have been rumblings that they’re planning to follow up that release with a Nightmare on Elm Street franchise 4K UHD box set sometime this year – and while such a set hasn’t been officially announced, there are promising signs that it’s actually happening. Six months ago, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare director Rachel Talalay revealed on social media that she had been working on “regrading” that film. Now, A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge director Jack Sholder has confirmed that he’s working on a 4K remaster of his movie as well! Sholder wrote on Facebook, “I just spent last week on the Warners lot working on the restoration of Nightmare on Elm Street 2. The remastered 4K picture off the original 35mm negative looks fantastic, and I was able to make adjustments and corrections only possible thanks to the incredible digital tools now available. The original mono mix from 42 years ago(!) was brought into Dolby Atmos and blew me out of my seat. I heard things in Chris Young’s score I never knew were there and that, combined with some added sound fx work, really lift the film into another dimension. We were careful not to change the look and feel of the film, but even the rather lame scene with the exploding parakeet felt like The Birds. The whole experience was like someone restoring an old Renaissance painting and finally seeing the amazing blue that the painter had used, or the cat now seen hiding behind the table, although in this case, those colors and sounds had never fully been seen before but were implicit in the material and now are explicit. Warners also shot some interviews for the new release and I got to see my old buddy Robert Englund whose performance now jumps off the screen. Keep an eye out for announcements of the release from WB. The new version really needs to be experienced by new fans and re-experienced by old ones.“ Talalay previously said this about working on Freddy’s Dead: “Regrading a movie from 30 years ago is an exercise in being punched in the face by every rookie mistake – with the rare, occasional ‘That was good.’ New 3D is a revelation, though.“ Are you glad to hear that remasters of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare and A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (and, we hope, the other sequels) are in the works?

- [David Yarovesky's 'LOCKED' (2025) Review - A Taut Thriller - PopHorror](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/david-yaroveskys-locked-2025-review-a-taut-thriller-pophorror/) - Locked is an intriguing and suspenseful film that not only showcases the immense versatility of young actor Bill Skarsgård but also proves that a thrilling narrative doesn’t require elaborate sets or a large cast. The movie unfolds primarily in a confined, high-stakes setting: inside a luxurious SUV, with most of the action taking place in this one location. What sets Locked apart is its ability to build tension and suspense through minimalism, relying heavily on Skarsgård’s performance and the menacing, off-screen voice of the legendary Anthony Hopkins. Directed by David Yarovesky, best known for his work on the horror-superhero hybrid Brightburn, Locked feels like a taut, psychological thriller with some unsettling elements that could easily tip into horror territory. While it would be a stretch to categorize Lockedd as a traditional horror film, its gripping, nerve-wracking atmosphere certainly makes it easy for viewers to draw comparisons to horror, particularly with its exploration of fear, control, and survival. The claustrophobic nature of the story, coupled with the psychological torment that the protagonist endures, gives it a certain horror-adjacent quality. At its core, Locked is a remake of the 2019 Argentine film 4/4, which has been reworked for an English-speaking audience. This is a rare case where the remake improves upon the original, making it one of the better English-language remakes in recent memory. The basic plot remains the same: a down-on-his-luck thief breaks into a high-end SUV, only to find himself trapped in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. What seems like a simple heist quickly escalates into a battle of wits and survival as the protagonist must navigate a series of increasingly perilous situations. It’s a psychological puzzle, reminiscent of Saw, where every decision could lead to a fatal consequence. Skarsgård’s performance is undoubtedly one of the film’s strongest elements. Known for his versatility in roles like Pennywise in It and the complex character in The Devil All the Time, Skarsgård proves once again that he is one of the most talented young actors working today. His portrayal of the thief, a man who is forced to confront his worst fears while being manipulated by an unseen antagonist, is a masterclass in tension. With minimal dialogue and only the confines of the vehicle to interact with, Skarsgård manages to convey a full spectrum of emotions—fear, desperation, defiance—without relying on typical action sequences or explosive moments. His ability to hold the audience’s attention with such a limited set of tools speaks volumes about his skill as an actor. The voice of Anthony Hopkins, who plays the unseen antagonist, adds a layer of dread that amplifies the tension throughout the film. Hopkins’s chilling voice, full of calculated menace and psychological manipulation, creates a sense of paranoia and danger, even though he is never physically present. His character serves as the puppet master, pulling the strings from afar, keeping Skarsgård’s character—and the audience—on edge at all times. Though Locked doesn’t break new ground within the thriller genre, it remains a solid and engaging film, propelled by excellent performances, a gripping narrative, and tight direction. While the film doesn’t boast the same level of shock value or innovation that other thrillers may offer, it remains a taut, well-executed experience that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It is a movie that thrives on psychological tension rather than physical action, with a heavy focus on character and atmosphere. [embedded content] In conclusion, Locked is a thrilling and suspenseful film that shines due to the standout performances of its lead, Bill Skarsgård, and the ever-menacing Anthony Hopkins. Director David Yarovesky has crafted a contained, yet highly engaging experience that proves that a film doesn’t need expansive locations or a large ensemble to deliver an impactful narrative. Though not a groundbreaking entry into the thriller genre, Locked is a film worth watching for fans of suspenseful, psychologically intense cinema.
- [8 Best Ella Purnell Movies & TV Shows, Ranked - SlashFilm](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/8-best-ella-purnell-movies-tv-shows-ranked-slashfilm/) - Static Media Ella Purnell is one of the most confounding performers working right now. With large, Disney-like eyes and a bright, charismatic personality evident in various interviews online, one might expect to see the English actor leading coming-of-age comedies or sweeping period dramas. Instead, she's made her mark in stories that thrive on grim humor, brutal violence, and the darkest corners of the human psyche. Advertisement It certainly seems to us that her unique and unexpected resume was born of a desire to consistently challenge herself artistically, fortunately drawing her toward strikingly complex characters in arresting stories. Among these, we've selected those which best represent her talent, potential, and impact on film and television. These are the best Ella Purnell movies & TV shows, ranked. Army of the Dead Netflix When Ella Purnell was added to the cast of Zack Snyder's Netflix zombie action film "Army of the Dead," most people had no idea who she was. As both a blockbuster feature film on arguably the most prominent streaming service ever and Snyder's first project after his ousting from the divisive DC Extended Universe he helped create, "Army of the Dead" was set to turn more eyes than ever toward Purnell. This was especially true given that her character, Kate Ward (the daughter of Dave Bautista's Scott Ward) was conceived as a point-of-view character for the audience, helping them learn the rules and lore of this world otherwise inhabited by zombies and mercenaries. Advertisement Ironically, considering the trajectory this film seemingly set her career on, not to mention her later projects which catapulted her to global stardom, Purnell was initially resistant to getting involved with "Army of the Dead" because she personally doesn't enjoy gore or horror movies. However, after reading the script, she found herself invested in the relationship between Kate and Scott (the two having been estranged following the death of Kate's mother) and the political subtext of the narrative. At that point, all it took was a little Snyder magic to get her on board. She closely collaborated with the director to vividly render Kate as more than a necessary POV character. Through Purnell's performance — razor focused on her journey toward overcoming a moment of betrayal that defined her life in order to survive — Kate becomes the story's sole beating heart. As Bautista and others grunt and grumble around her between zombie shootouts, she often feels like she's defiantly trying to pull the film toward something real. Even if the "Army of the Dead's" bloated undead corpse of a script is too much for her to carry on her own (especially with how it ultimately uses her), this herculean effort is worth praise. Advertisement Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 20th Century Studios If not quite as transportive as the atmospheric Ransom Riggs novel on which it's based (nor as energized or vivid as the "X-Men" films it clearly wants to be cousin to), "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" is undeniably a noteworthy part of Ella Purnell's acting career. The 2016 film follows a group of young "peculiar" children who live together in a boarding house, due to the fact that they each possess various supernatural and often socially alienating abilities. Purnell plays Emma Bloom, a child with special air-related powers who is constantly in danger of drifting into the sky. Advertisement Emma's powerset includes the ability to breathe underwater, which required Purnell to work for the first time in vast swimming tanks built so that director Tim Burton could capture these sequences with a mixture of practical and post-production special effects. As impressive as this is for an actor as early in her career as she was to undergo, it was ultimately exciting for Purnell, as it was in the service of creating these unreal moments that she loves about the fantasy genre. In addition to acting under such unusual circumstances, Purnell takes advantage of the slightly meatier (if a bit odd) role she's been given to make Emma a perfect young-adult protagonist that children of all ages could identify with without feeling patronized or turned into a caricature. Adults may find the film tedious in comparison to the rest of Purnell's work, but fans of her's and Burton's should be suitably entertained by their efforts. Advertisement Star Trek: Prodigy Nickelodeon Ella Purnell has joined several intimidating fictional universes throughout her career, but few could be as imposing as that of the decades-old culture of the genre-defining "Star Trek" franchise. In 2021, she was cast in the Nickelodeon animated series "Star Trek: Prodigy," a very loose, spiritual sequel to "Star Trek: Voyager" that follows a group of young spacefarers charting the stars in the commandeered ship Protostar. Advertisement Purnell, who voices the Vau N'Akat Gwyndala, spoke with /Film in 2022 about what it was like to join "Star Trek" during such an expansive — and divisive — period in the franchise. "['Prodigy'] is my introduction into the universe and it's definitely very intimidating because obviously there's so many years of history and so many people and the fans are very, very passionate, so you want to do right by them — you want to do it justice," she told us. Gwyndala is the linguist of the crew, which put particular pressure on Purnell to nail the universe's infamously well-defined languages. Purnell was surely aware of how, shall we say, scrutinizing the fanbase could be (to put it lightly) and worked with "Trekkie" experts to perform languages like Klingon with the utmost accuracy. Its an early example of the reverence and dedication Purnell shows for any fictional world she's invited to inhabit, a practice which would serve her extremely well as her career continued. Advertisement Wildlike Amplify Having portrayed a range of complicated and traumatized people thrown into situations that would be unimaginable to most people, Ella Purnell's career seems to have been full of challenges. This trend began very early for the actor, as a 15-year-old Purnell took on a leading role opposite Bruce Greenwood in the independent psychological drama "Wildlike." She played 14-year-old Mackenzie, a young girl who survives the death of her father, a mother struggling with an addiction disorder, and a predatory uncle ("1923's" Brian Geraghty) by fleeing to the Alaskan wilderness. She soon encounters wandering backpacker Rene Bartlett (Greenwood), and the pair form an unlikely friendship as they brave the elements — and a wild bear. Advertisement "Wildlike" was shot in just 30 days, with the miniscule cast and crew camping out together in Alaska throughout the shoot. The story asked a lot of Purnell, especially given how young she was at the time. Upon receiving a draft of the screenplay, she was understandably apprehensive about the subject matter and the scenes of intimacy that were written into the plot, though writer, director, and producer Frank Hall Green reassured her that everything described would only be hinted at. As Purnell described to Selig Film News, she was able find the emotional truth of what going through something so horrible would be like for her character. "There are two scenes that were quite difficult to do, but I had at the forefront of my mind that she can't help what she's doing and she's doing it out of desperation and that it's not something she's conscious of being wrong," she said. This level of character work is why Purnell immediately seemed a cut above other young actors, tackling daunting material with clear focus on storytelling and ultimately creating a character that feels real to the audience.

Sweetpea Sky Atlantic Our readers in the U.S. may not be aware of one of Ella Purnell's best and seemingly most personal projects to date: the Sky Atlantic series "Sweetpea." In the psychological thriller, Purnell stars as Rhiannon "Sweetpea" Lewis, a lifelong social outcast who has waded into a nearly invisible life complete with a thankless job as an assistant at a small newspaper. On the outside, she's nice and agreeable enough that people won't take too much notice of her — on the inside, she's constantly creating a mental list of people she'd like to kill. As one might expect, it's only a matter of time before these internal feelings of rage begin to externalize themselves in irreparable ways. Advertisement Purnell was approached by executive producer Patrick Walters ("Heartstopper") about working on a range of projects under his purview, with the actor being drawn to "Sweetpea" due to its unique tone, mash-up of genres, and influences. To her, it read like a cross between Showtime's serial killer comedy "Dexter" and the acclaimed British relationship dramedy "Fleabag," with additional shades of the cult classic horror comedy "Jennifer's Body" (particularly in how "Sweetpea" tracks its title character's arc toward self-confidence). Also exciting to Purnell was the prospect of becoming an executive producer — Walters and his collaborators were keen to sign their lead actor as an EP so that she could be responsible for shepherding the narratively intimate journey of Rhiannon Lewis. Advertisement "Being an EP is something that I've always wanted to do," she told Vogue in 2024. "I was waiting for the right project, something that I felt like I really could contribute [to]. It's like a weird cosmic feeling. I really felt like I knew this character; I was excited to collaborate and contribute those ideas." This new job not only saw Purnell closely involved with developing the character and filling out the series' cast (she attended auditions to read with potential actors and was involved with rewrites that took place after roles were filled), but with technical elements such as minor scenic and prop design to ensure that every element of production reflected her character's journey. On top of all that, she still had to lead the series as a performer as well. As she told Vogue, "This was definitely the most challenging role I've ever done." Yellowjackets Showtime If you're already a fan of Ella Purnell, there's a solid chance you first encountered her as the team captain of the ill-fated "Yellowjackets." The Showtime semi-supernatural horror drama emerged from the fog of COVID lockdowns as a sleeper hit, drawing audiences into the twisted tragedy of a high school girls soccer team trying to survive the wilderness (and each other) after their plane crash lands on a deserted island on the way to a national tournament. Advertisement Purnell's Jackie — a middle-of-the-pack player elevated to captain status by virtue of her popularity with and influence over the other girls — remains one of the show's best characters, despite the fact that she was only written to appear in the first season. It's an example of a show arguably using Purnell's contrasting persona as a means of subverting the audiences expectations. She starts off as the quintessential popular high schooler, only to have her social power slowly taken from her and divided amongst the whole to rather grim results. At the same time, she doesn't feel like a mere tool of the storytelling, as the stripping of her power comes as a natural part of her evolution in the wilderness. Advertisement Jackie and Purnell have been away from "Yellowjackets" for a while now, and some may argue that, unrelated to their absence, the series has failed to maintain the quality of its freshman outing. Looking at the first season alone as a fairly complete story (especially with regard to Jackie's character arc), however, we feel it's one of the best showcases of Purnell's talent as a genre star, allowing her to make the most of a closed storyline that still gives viewers plenty to chew on. Arcane Netflix One of the best video game adaptations and best fantasy TV shows of all time, the Netflix animated series "Arcane" spins a visually stunning epic out of "League of Legends." Nimbly working with the dense and almost impenetrable mythos of the popular multiplayer game, it found an emotionally and politically resonant storyline within the dual paths of Vi (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and her sister Jinx, who is voiced by Ella Purnell. Advertisement Jinx — an electrically unpredictable (and perhaps unstable) rebel with a penchant for shooting first and asking questions never — is arguably one of, if not the most recognizable icons of "League of Legends." But that didn't stop Purnell from working with the show's creators to find her own way toward bringing this character to life for a wider audience in a story-driven medium. As she told CBR in 2021, "I wanted to lean slightly away from the sexualization of her and the pure, gory violence of her and lean more into the family relationships that she has — the trauma, the hurt, the context around her character, why she is the way that she is. She wasn't just born this super sexy psychopath." Advertisement The depth Purnell and "Arcane" imbued Jinx with was vital to making this video game adaptation accessible to newcomers, and it further yielded a richer and more emotionally impactful narrative than one might expect based on the source material. It received widespread critical acclaim, dominating the Annie Awards and breaking into the Emmy Awards (nabbing a historic Best Animated Program win in the latter) before ending its run after two seasons. More importantly for our purposes, it proved Purnell as an undeniable talent capable of moving audiences with only her voice. Fallout Amazon Prime Video Considering the broader historical trend of video game adaptations, there's absolutely no reason Amazon Prime Video's "Fallout" series should be anywhere near as good as it is. Based on one of the most famous video game franchises, it somehow manages to distill the unique energy of the games themselves while telling an original story that not only makes use of the obscene amount of lore at its fingertips, but remains emotionally and intellectually compelling enough to thrill fans old and new. It quickly became Prime Video's biggest hit ever and went on to receive several Emmy Award nominations — including one for Walton Goggins, who stood out from the show's ensemble as the enigmatic gunslinger known as "The Ghoul." Advertisement As captivating as he is, however, the weight of the series largely rests on the shoulders of Ella Purnell's Lucy MacLean, a "Vault Dweller" who ventures into the post-apocalyptic irradiated wastelands of America to rescue her father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan). Purnell was cast in "Fallout" shortly after leaving "Yellowjackets," spending the majority of her prep time getting up to speed with the games' history and coming to terms with the fact that, regardless of quality, the blockbuster show would be seen and judged more than any other project she'd been a part of. She seemingly found comfort in the show's writing. What stood out to her most was how the show threw a woman into the center of a survival thriller that also somehow balanced insightful political commentary and dark humor. Advertisement These themes resonated just as deeply with the show's audience, it seems, and "Fallout" is currently in production on a second season. As worried as Purnell may be about getting typecast as a video game hero, the dramatic range she displays in "Fallout" — and, indeed, in all her projects regardless of their origins — would justly indicate an artistic future as varied and vast as the wasteland itself.
- [This Iconic Comedy Almost Had A Creepy Horror Movie Sequel - Thought Catalog](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/this-iconic-comedy-almost-had-a-creepy-horror-movie-sequel-thought-catalog/) - Dumb and Dumber (1994) is a beloved comedy movie starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as two stupid but wholesome best friends who get embroiled in a kidnapping plot. Much of the film takes place in Aspen, Colorado, though those scenes were filmed in Breckenridge, Colorado and Park City, Utah. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado stood in for the fancy “Danbury Hotel” featured in the film. Of course, horror fans will recognize the Stanley Hotel as being the inspiration for The Shining (1980). Famously, the hotel was where Stephen King was staying when a ghostly encounter inspired him to write the novel the film is based on. Room 217, where King stayed, has been rumored to be haunted since a 1911 gas explosion seriously injured a maid. Hotel employees say that after the maid died, her spirit returned to the hotel where she sometimes unpacks guests’ luggage and is reportedly unkind to unmarried couples who stay in the room. Paranormal investigations done by Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures have considered Room 217 to be one of the hotel’s major hotspots. One of the many shots of the Stanley Hotel in Dumb and Dumber. While staying in Room 217 at the Stanley during the filming of Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey had his own ghostly encounter. According to people who worked there at the time, Carrey abruptly checked out in the middle of the night and left the hotel, refusing to return for anything other than filming. He has never answered questions about what he encountered in the hotel. Carrey’s spooky experience could have inspired a Dumb and Dumber sequel. In an episode of The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Writer’s Roundtable”, filmmaker Daniel Kwan shared that prior to the filming of Dumb and Dumber To (2014), Jim Carrey approached Kwan and partner Daniel Scheinert about making a found footage horror movie set behind the scenes of Dumb and Dumber To. The proposed film would capitalize on the Stanley Hotel’s haunted history and creepy on-set experiences the cast and crew had on the Dumb and Dumber (1994) set. Very early in our careers, Jim Carrey reached out. He had just seen Paranormal Activity and was like, “Guys, it’s found footage and it’s horror — have you seen it?” And we were like, “Uh-huh, we’ve heard of it. Where is this going?” And he was like, “I haven’t seen anyone do that — but with comedy. And I have this great idea.” Basically, the set of Dumb and Dumber was famously a haunted set — it was in the same hotel that The Shining was inspired by — and he’s like, “The whole time we were shooting, things were breaking, people were getting hurt, doors were swinging, and it felt haunted. We’re going to shoot Dumb and Dumber To, and I want you guys to do a found-footage horror comedy on the set. While we’re filming, you guys are going to make a feature-length, behind-the-scenes video that slowly becomes a horror film. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (known professionally as The Daniels) were game to explore Carrey’s idea. They wrote an outline but were turned down by the studio, who didn’t want to make a film while trying to make a film. The movie lives on in legend only, and we still don’t know what happened to Jim Carrey in Room 217.
- ['Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole' Production Delayed For Script Updates - Bloody Disgusting](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/oswald-down-the-rabbit-hole-production-delayed-for-script-updates-bloody-disgusting/) - After getting announced last year, production on public domain horror movie Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole has been delayed indefinitely. Writer-Director Lilton Stewart III is using the delay to focus on tightening the script with script rewrites to enhance the horror-adventure film. Stewart is committed to delivering a more polished and satisfying story. “I recently got inspired by an idea that will definitely make the story tighter and flesh out some of the unanswered questions I was leaving for the sequel,” says Stewart. “Audiences will still have questions leading into the next chapter of the story, but will feel more satisfied at the conclusion of the first film.” Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole is “depicting a sinister take on an iconic cartoon classic that encompasses the pure horror genre.” That cartoon classic is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a Walt Disney character first introduced in 1927 that was eventually replaced by Mickey Mouse. The film follows the main character, Art, and friends embarking on what starts as an innocent journey to track down his family lineage, quickly turns into a bloodcurdling nightmare when they find his Great-Grandpa Oswald’s abandoned home. The group is transported to a place lost in time, shrouded by dark Hollywood devilry. When Art’s Great-Grandpa’s come-to-life cartoon Rabbit, a dark entity, decides their lives belong to it, the group is petrified. Art and his friends must work together to escape the haunting prison by the skin of their teeth, before the Rabbit gets to them first. The delay news won’t affect casting, with additional talent expected to be announced in the coming months. The film stars Topher Hall, Yasha Rayzberg, Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), and Nora Freetly, with production led by Lucinda Bruce and Lilton Stewart III.

How about the latest release from A24? A slasher from Finn Wolfhard? A genre movie starring Pedro Pascal?! This week has it all. Here’s all the new horror that released March 31– April 4, 2025! For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar. The latest horror movie to put a gory twist on beloved pop culture icon Popeye is Shiver Me Timbers, and director Paul Mann’s bloody slasher is now available on digital at home. Blending classic slasher thrills with off-the-wall comedy, Shiver Me Timbers pays homage to 1980s horror classics while bringing Popeye into “his most terrifying adventure yet.” Here’s the synopsis: “In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl, along with her cinema- obsessed friends and brother Castor, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley’s comet. But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye, into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine.” [embedded content] The once-in-a-lifetime experience of Opus is now available from the comfort of home, as A24 has released the film on Premium VOD for rent ($19.99) or purchase ($24.99). The satirical film marks the feature debut of writer-director Mark Anthony Green. Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich star with Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Young Mazino, Stephanie Suganami, Tatanka Means, and Tony Hale. A young writer (Edebri) is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star (Malkovich) who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Opus is at its best when it’s a campy satire of pop culture, led by two powerhouse performances, but it utterly fails as a genre exercise.” [embedded content] Director Steven LaMorte’s (The Mean One) new horror movie Screamboat embarked on its theatrical release beginning this past Wednesday from Iconic Events Releasing. David Howard Thornton stars as Steamboat Willie in Screamboat, a twisted version of the black-and-white Mickey Mouse that was introduced in Disney’s animated short in 1928. In the film, “Be our guest on a NYC ferry ride that turns into a hilarious nightmare when a mischievous mouse named Steamboat Willie becomes a monstrous reality. As passengers set sail, their trip turns deadly when the tiny terror unleashes murder and mayhem.” From the producers of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, Screamboat is written and directed by Steven LaMorte (The Mean One). Quantum Creation FX, Inc. (The Last Voyage of the Demeter) created the creature from designs by concept artist Christian Cordella (Spider-Man: No Way Home). The cast includes Allison Pittel (Stream), Amy Schumacher (The Mean One), Jesse Posey (Selena), Jesse Kove (Cobra Kai), Kailey Hyman (Terrifier 2), Rumi C Jean-Louis (Hightown), Jarlath Conroy (George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead), and Charles Edwin Powell (The Exorcist III), with cameos from Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Brian Quinn (Impractical Jokers), and stand-up comedian Joe DeRosa (Better Call Saul). [embedded content] Horror comedy Hell of a Summer is now playing in theaters from NEON. “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard is the co-writer, co-director and star of the throwback slasher. Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Fred Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one. Finn Wolfhard wrote and directed the slasher movie alongside Billy Bryk (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), with both actors also starring in the film. The cast also includes Fred Hechinger (Fear Street 1994), as well as D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (“Reservation Dogs”), Abby Quinn (“Mad About You”), and Pardis Saremi (“Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem”). [embedded content] If you look for her, she will find you. 825 Forest Road marks Hell House LLC director Stephen Cognetti’s first feature outside the franchise, and it’s now streaming on Shudder. After a family tragedy, Chuck Wilson hopes to start a new life in Ashland Falls with his wife Maria and little sister Isabelle, but he quickly discovers that the town has a dark secret. The ghost of Helen Foster has terrorized residents since her own suicide back in the ‘40s. Finding Helen’s old home is key to ending the hauntings, but the address they have doesn’t match any of the town’s existing streets. When Chuck realizes his family might be in danger of Helen’s wrath, he takes it upon himself to locate 825 Forest Road before it’s too late. Elizabeth Vermilyea, Joe Falcone, Kathryn Miller, Lorenzo Beronilla, Darin F. Earl II, and Leyah Rose star in 825 Forest Road. Watch the official trailer down below. [embedded content] The cure is way worse than the disease in Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse. The Mexican coming-of-age post-apocalyptic zombie film opened in select theaters today. From the executive producers of Huesera: The Bone Woman, Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse is written and directed by Isaac Ezban (The Similars, Parallel). In a dystopian future ravaged by a viral apocalypse, three young brothers find themselves isolated in a remote cabin deep. As they navigate this desolate world, they harbor a dark and disturbing secret in their basement—a presence they must feed to ensure their own survival. Farid Escalante Correa, Leonardo Cervantes, and Mateo Ortega Casillas star with Norma Flores, Horacio F. Lazo, Carla Adell, Juan Carlos Remolina (“Who Killed Sara?”), and Noé Hernández (“Narcos: Mexico”). Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Fantasia, “This coming-of-age horror fantasy gets bleak, as dystopian tales tend to, with Ezban plunging three young boys into gruesome, harrowing scenarios. But it’s offset with bursts of levity, whimsy, and a sense of impressive style that sets this post-apocalyptic story apart, even when familiar hallmarks creep in.” [embedded content] The Monkey was unleashed on Premium Digital at home beginning today – rent it for $19.99 or buy it for $24.99 – before hitting 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on June 24 via Neon. Based on the Stephen King short story from 1985’s Skeleton Crew, the gory horror-comedy is written and directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) and produced by James Wan. In box office hit The Monkey, “When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. 25 years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree forcing the estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy.” Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy star. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “With brisk storytelling efficiency and a playful spirit, The Monkey delivers a Stephen King adaptation like no other. Perkins pushes back against logic in favor of entertaining midnight madness, and death has never been funnier or gorier as a result.” [embedded content] Gazer, a dark neo-noir thriller in the vein of Memento from director Ryan J. Sloan, was released in select theaters by Metrograph Pictures today. Be sure to check your local listings. The thriller follows “a young mother (co-writer Ariella Mastroianni) who, due to a unique condition that progressively affects her perception of time, is trying to save money for her daughter’s future before it’s too late. She takes a risky job from a mysterious woman with a dark past, which leads her to become entangled in a tense web of revenge, deceit, and murder.” Marcia Debonis, Renee Gagner, Jack Alberts, and Tommy Kang co-star. Sloan and Mastroianni produced the shot-on-16mm feature. From the press release, “The film was shot on a shoestring budget over weekends in the spring and fall for two years while Sloan worked as an electrician and Mastroianni in film programming in New York.” Gazer is also described as “a fresh perspective on the legendary paranoia thrillers of the 70s and 80s, but also a masterful tribute to, and bold reinvention of, the work of many great cinema artists over several generations.” [embedded content] Writer/Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck interconnect four energetic, frequently bloody stories in infectious genre-hopping anthology Freaky Tales, now playing in theaters. In the anthology, “Set in 1987 Oakland, Freaky Tales is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles.” Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Jack Champion, Ji-young Yoo, Angus Cloud, and Tom Hanks star in Freaky Tales.

- [The 10 Worst Horror Movies of the Last 10 Years - ScreenCrush](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/the-10-worst-horror-movies-of-the-last-10-years-screencrush/) - Horror is one of the most popular and lucrative genres out there, outlasting the eras of movie musicals, action flicks, and fantasy epics, and holding strong against a current era dominated by comic book blockbusters. Horror movies have always been here, and they’re here to stay, because, for the most part, they’re pretty great. Even the bad ones are still pretty fun, because scary movies have the ability to be at least entertaining even if they aren’t instant classics. When you’re in the mood for something fun, horror is always a good bet.Then again ... because there’s a lot of horror out there, there are even more opportunities for it to get bad. Like, really, really bad. There are few things worse in this world than sitting through an awful horror movie, one devoid of tension or scares or cool creatures or plot or characters you don’t hope are immediately killed off. Whether they’re bad because they pull too many punches, or don’t pull enough, it’s easy to tell within the first few minutes whether you’ve landed on a dud. This week, we are dishonoring the worst ones from the last decade — that is, from the past ten years.And let’s be honest here: The absolute worst horror movies are the low-budget, low effort, low quality slopfests you find if you scroll for too long on Netflix or Prime, stuff with titles like Zombie Unicorn Cannibal Attack III: Curse of the Werespider. (If anyone wants to make that, we’d watch it.) These horror movies are bad mainly because we were kinda hoping against hope that they’d defy the odds and end up being pretty good. Though I think we can safely say we all predicted The Bye Bye Man would be one of the worst.The 10 Worst Horror Movies of the Past 10 Years (2015-2024)Over the last decade, the horror genre has experienced some high highs, and some low lows.Gallery Credit: Emma StefanskyREAD MORE: The 10 Best “Elevated Horror” MoviesThe 10 Worst Comedies of the Last Ten Years (2015-2024)The last ten years have given us a couple of truly disastrous comedies.

- [Movie Review: The Beast Hand (2024) - Cleopatra Blu-ray - HorrorFuel.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/movie-review-the-beast-hand-2024-cleopatra-blu-ray-horrorfuel-com/) - Ex-criminal Osamu (Takahiro Fukuya) has left his wicked ways behind for a life of odd jobs and popping a squat in his dilapidated living quarters… because calling this shit an “apartment” would be far, far too much of an exaggeration. Fucking that all up is the return of former criminal colleague Inui (Yota Kawase) into Osamu’s life… an event that immediately turns into a nightmare as Inui forces the meeker Osamu into kidnapping their ol’ acquaintance Koyuki (Misa Wada) to become the rotten bastard’s sex slave. Eventually Inui ends up getting everyone in over their heads with the local crime boss’ thugs which results in Inui buying the farm, and Osamu getting an arm hacked off via katana. Luckily for him, Koyuki knows a black-market plastic surgeon who performs a procedure that results in Osamu possessing a rather large, bone-claw tipped monster hand that can at times drive him into an uncontrollable rage… which he uses to absolutely eviscerate those same thugs shortly thereafter. Because crime lords tend to not look kindly on their foot soldiers being ripped to pieces, Osamu and the now pregnant Koyuki flee far away… but those dark pasts have a way of catching up with you… Coming from filmmaker Taichiro Natsume (Love Shark), The Beast Hand is part gritty, unpleasant crime drama and part gory sci-fi comic book tale… which while making the tone and pace somewhat uneven at times, results in an entertaining, unique end result all the same. The budget here is low, which works greatly in the film’s favor as the rough surroundings seem genuine, the effects suitably D.I.Y, over-the-top, and practical (which is one of my all-time fav combos!), and the narrative is incredibly rough (in content) at times, especially where Wada’s Koyuki is concerned… which would be hard pressed to sail in a production with more cash on the line to recoup. There is also a surprising undercurrent of sweetness to the relationship between Osamu and Koyuki’s relationship… and while it exists in an environment rife with incredible violence and poverty, it remains, at times, beautiful at it’s core. Moving on to the special features to be found on this Blu-ray release from Cleopatra, things are decidedly on the light side, with two Japanese promo clips, a slideshow, and the film’s trailer (along with trailers from other Cleopatra releases) being the only offerings. Also the box-art for this release, while totally kick ass, doesn’t represent what goes on in this flick at all, as it features a zombie dressed in traditional Japanese garb wandering a rainy metropolis, as another zombified limb appears to block his progress… nothing in this film resembles that image in anyway, and is in fact much, much more bizarre… but such is the low-budget horror biz… Disturbingly rough, punctuated with spurts of manga-styled ultra-violence, and displaying a fierce, punk rock aesthetic; The Beast Hand is underground Japanese cinema fried gold!

Although this Wonder Weapon isn't required to complete the main quest, it’s a powerful weapon for crowd control and can be useful in the fight against the final boss, Z-Rex. While it can be obtained from the Mystery Box, there’s also a set of steps you can follow to get it for free. This article will provide detailed instructions on how to acquire the Wunderwaffe DG-2 for free in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil. How to acquire the Wunderwaffe DG-2 in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil The Wunderwaffe DG-2 can be acquired by completing a set of challenging steps. It’s not an easy task, as the process involves multiple stages and tough encounters: 1. Acquire the Ray Gun Mark II Acquire the Ray Gun Mark II in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Activision) You can get the Ray Gun Mark II from the Mystery Box or by completing the following steps: Starting from Round 10, a zombie named Lab Technician with glowing purple eyes will spawn. Eliminate it to receive a Floppy Disk.Take the Floppy Disk to the computer in the East Foyer and interact with it to print a code.Note the code and head to the Nursery, where you’ll find a chalkboard. Use it to decrypt the code.Once decrypted, go to Tunnel Service and release the Doppelghast.Defeat the Doppelghast to receive a Severed Arm.Finally, head to the Armory in the Supply Depot to claim the Ray Gun Mark II. 2. Upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II Ray Gun Mark II-W in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Activision || YT/NoahJ456) There are three variants, but to acquire the Wunderwaffe DG-2, you only need to upgrade the one you're most comfortable with. For this guide, we’ll assume you choose the Ray Gun Mark II-W. First, collect an Empty Canister by using the Kazimir device on the zombie window just below the Double Tap perk in the Rear Patio.Take the canister to the area near Speed Cola and insert it into the machine opposite the perk.A sequence will begin, spawning an Abomination. Use its beam and charge attacks to activate small rocks around the arena.Then, protect the Extractor from waves of Vermin for two minutes. After completion, you’ll receive the Explosive Canister.Head to the Supply Depot area to find a yellow workbench and there build the Ray Gun Mark II-W. 3.

For the W variant, follow these steps: Complete the Ritual challenge in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Activision || YouTube/MrDalekJD) Go to the chamber opposite Double Tap, beside the wall-mounted deer heads. Pick up the Lantern from a box.Take the lantern to the T-Rex Room (Grand Foyer) and place it on the west wall.Solve the blinking puzzle, then enter the chamber and activate the Distillery Liminal Portal.Go to the Study Room (where Elemental Pop is located) and collect the Bell item.Equip your weapon with the Brain Rot ammo mod, then head to the Overlook area near the bar counter.Use Brain Rot to transform a zombie. Lure it toward the bar counter and ring the bell multiple times until the zombie jumps over and drops the Ritual Item.Return to the Distillery Liminal Portal, place the Ritual Item on the pedestal in the new chamber, defeat the mini-boss, and collect the Sentinel Artifact. 4. Shoot four purple smoke items Now, you must find and shoot four hidden objects that emit purple smoke: Location of all four purple smoke-emitting items in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil (Image via Activision || YouTube/MrDalekJD) First item – Nursery: Look under the bed for a pile of cloth emitting purple smoke. Shoot it with the Ray Gun Mark II to make it vanish. Second item – Elemental Pop area: Across from the perk machine, find a chair with a book emitting purple smoke.Shoot it. It transforms into a blue cloud with orbiting objects.Shoot all orbiting items quickly. Once done, the book reappears. Now deal damage to it until it transforms back into purple smoke and flies away. Third Item – Garden Pond (Spawn area): Near the burning tree on the south wall, find the third object. Repeat the same process as before.This time, however, it will have more orbiting objects.With enough damage, the object turns into purple smoke and flies away. Fourth Item – Grand Foyer (T-Rex area): Left of the Juggernog perk, you’ll find another book on a table emitting purple smoke.Shoot it, but prepare for a tougher sequence — the blue cloud moves faster, and the book requires more damage to defeat.Once done, it will again transform into purple smoke and fly away.

Five more nights at Freddy’s? Five additional nights at Freddy’s?Maybe I’m overthinking this. Universal is simply calling it Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. That’s probably the right call for this sequel to the surprisingly huge film adaptation of the video game franchise. (The second Five Nights at Freddy’s video game was also called Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.)The first film came out in 2023, and despite being released in theaters and on streaming on Peacock simultaneously, it became a major hit, grossing nearly $300 million worldwide. That’s an almost unheard of sum for a film that’s available at home at the same time.While the first trailer doesn’t give away too much of the story, there are still plenty of teases of animatronic animal violence. You can watch the whole first Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 trailer below:READ MORE: 10 Horror Movies So Extreme They Made People SickHere is the film’s official synopsis:Based on Scott Cawthon’s blockbuster game series, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Emma Tammi (The Wind, Blood Moon).

- [How To Upgrade The Ray Gun Mark II In Shattered Veil For BO6 Zombies - GameSpot](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/03/how-to-upgrade-the-ray-gun-mark-ii-in-shattered-veil-for-bo6-zombies-gamespot/) - Season 3 is live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with the brand-new Shattered Veil map in Zombies. This map brings back the iconic Ray Gun Mark II Wonder Weapon from Black Ops 2, and it also introduces three different variants you can transform the gun into. Here, we explain all three variants and how to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II in Shattered Veil.Table of Contents [hide]Ray Gun Mark II variants explainedThe Ray Gun Mark II Wonder Weapon was originally introduced in Black Ops II. This is a three-round burst variant of the very first Ray Gun. It can be Pack-a-Punched, but it can also be upgraded to one of three different variants that change how this weapon works.Ray Gun Mark IIHere are all three types of Ray Gun Mark II variants found in Shattered Veil:Ray Gun Mark II-W: This variant offers a similar bullet pattern to a submachine gun, and it also has the chance to randomly ignite enemies.Ray Gun Mark II-P: This variant shoots ammunition like a shotgun, and it offers a chance to spawn a sigil with the ability to grant limited-time invulnerability to the player standing on it.Ray Gun Mark II-R: This variant fires with a marksman rifle-like discharge, and it gives a chance to spread a toxic elemental that can inflict area-of-effect damage.How to get the base version of the Ray Gun Mark IIBefore you can get a variant, you'll first need to obtain the base version of the Ray Gun Mark II Wonder Weapon. There are few ways you can get one.The base version of the Ray Gun Mark II can be found at random in the Mystery Box, or you can use a Wonderbar Gobble Gum to increase your changes at the box.However, the guaranteed way to secure yourself a Ray Gun Mark II Wonder Weapon is to complete a small quest. Here we show you how to unlock the free Ray Gun Mark II.Get an empty canisterThe first thing you'll need to upgrade your Ray Gun Mark II is an Empty Canister item. This item is required no matter which variant you choose for your upgrade. There are several places to find an Empty Canister. You only need one for your upgrade, but if you have teammates looking to do the same, they'll need a canister, too.Blue rock in the ConservatoryOne method to get a canister is shooting blue rocks. Only one blue rock will drop a canister each match, so keep shooting them until one drops. The locations for these are as follows:In Conservatory on ceilingIn Service Tunnel on ceilingOutside above South West BalconyInside East FoyerAnother Empty Canister location is the busted wall opening underneath the Double Tap perk machine at the Rear Patio. For this, you'll need to pull the Empty Canister out using a LT-53 Kazimir grenade. Throw the grenade just outside of the window, so it will pull the canister out of this unreachable area.Another Empty Canister can be obtained from the Mainframe Chamber but the process is a bit lengthier. First, you want to take note of the letter inside next to the giant cryo chamber in the room. There is either an A or B labeled to the left of the chamber.Cryo chamber with a letterThen, you'll need at least two tomahawks, which you can make at the Crafting table if needed. Head into the Service Tunnels. Look in the out-of-bounds area to the left of the Doppleghast container you previously opened. You'll see the letters A and B on the right side of the wall. These mark valves on the wall.Service Tunnel valvesUse one tomahawk and hit the middle valve, and then use a second tomahawk on the valve letter that matches your game.Afterward, head upstairs and use a Molotov (also craftable) to explode the cryo chamber and pick up the Empty Canister from inside.You can start any of the three upgrade quests below once you have an Empty Canister in your possession.It's important to note that once you place an Empty Canister in a device to start one of the three upgrade quests, you are committing to that specific quest. You can't take the canister out and switch to a different upgrade quest.How to upgrade to Ray Gun Mark II-WRock formation at Shem's HengeBring the Empty Canister outside to Shem's Henge. There is a device for the canister near Speed Cola. Doing this will spawn an Abomination nearby in the center of a rock formation. Do not kill it.Instead, you want to keep the Abomination's attention until it uses the eyebeam attack on the three smaller rocks within this rock formation. You'll know you did it right because the rocks will glow blue. Then, you need to bait the Abomination towards each of the three glowing rocks. Its sprint attack will cause the rocks to float into the air.Once all three rocks are floating, this will initiate a lockdown sequence. Vermin and zombies will spawn around you. You need to kill the enemies, survive, and also protect the glowing purple portal that spawns in the middle.Once the lockdown is complete, head back to the device where you deposited the Empty Canister. It will now be charged. Take the Charged Canister down to the Service Tunnels to the Ray Gun Mark II workbench. This is found across from the Armory.Interact with the bench to upgrade your base Wonder Weapon to the Ray Gun Mark II-W variant.How to upgrade to the Ray Gun Mark II-PFountain at South West BalconyYou need to collect two Refractor items:One is found in the fountain at the ConservatoryAnother is found in the fountain by the South West BalconyThen, you need to collect an Essence Bomb item. The Essence Bomb is found at random by shooting/meleeing the white Project Janus boxes found around the map. These are found in most main POIs, so go around the map shooting them all until you find an Essence Bomb. Don't panic if you have to shoot several to find it.Rubble wall in Service TunnelsThen head into the Service Tunnels. Just past the Level-3 Armor wall buy location, there is a wall that's partially damaged. Place the Essence Bomb on the wall to open a passage into a new room.Place the Empty Canister in the device inside this new area. This will activate a blue crystal shooting a beam. This requires you to place the Refractor items you picked up earlier, and move the beam around until it hits one of the three Doppleghast statues in the room. You move the beam/Refractors around by shooting or meleeing them.Once the beam is in place, hit the blue crystal in the middle to send a wave of energy toward the Doppleghast statue. This will destroy the statue and spawn a Doppleghast that you need to kill.Repeat this process for the other two Doppleghast statues. Then, grab the Light Canister from the device.Take the Light Canister to the workbench found in the Director's Quarters to upgrade to the Ray Gun Mark II-P variant.How to upgrade to the Ray Gun Mark II-RPlant spawn on West BalconyCollect 4 Plant Seed items from the orb-shaped plants located on the map. This is done by either shooting the plant with the Ray Gun Mark II or using an explosive like a Semtex. You can only collect one seed per plant.There are plenty of plant locations all around the outdoors areas of the map, but here are a few places to look:In a dark corner of the Rear PatioOn the South West BalconyNear the fountain in ConservatoryNear the bridge in Garden Pond (spawn area)In Motor CourtConservatory canister deviceOnce you have collected four seeds, go to the Conservatory and place an Empty Canister in the device located there.Place a Plant Seed in one of the empty planters in the Conservatory. Zombies will then spawn and you must defend your seed until it grows. If a zombie breaks a growing plant, it will drop a Plant Seed and you'll need to re-plant it.Protect the plants from purple-eyed zombiesRepeat the process three more times. You need four grown plants. Technically, you can plant and defend more than one seed at a time, but it gets really difficult to manage. It's safer to try these one at a time, especially if playing solo. Just focus on the purple-eyed zombies, as these are the ones attacking your plant. Try to avoid killing the regular zombies and ending the round too soon.Once all four plants are grown, return to the canister device and pick up the Toxic Canister. Take this canister to the Ray Gun Mark II workbench found in the spawn area. Use the bench to upgrade your base Wonder Weapon to the Ray Gun Mark II-R variant.For more map guides, make sure to check out how to unlock the Shattered Veil secret Easter egg song.

Rockstar Games have always tried to reach perfection through their games, and GTA 6 would definitely follow a similar track. The gaming industry knows that GTA 6 is going to change the pricing for AAA games forever, but there is also a fear in the background that it will shutdown some major gaming studios. GTA 6 is the most highly anticipated games of all times, and it is definitely going to the most disruptive too, but no one can deny a $100 price tag for a perfect game like GTA 6. Advertisment

There are many fixes for various TLOU 2 errors](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/the-last-of-us-2-is-crashing-on-your-pc-there-are-many-fixes-for-various-tlou-2-errors/) - It seems that 5 years isn’t that long, especially for games developed in the past decade. However, Sony appears to have a different view on this matter and releases remasters of their not so old titles. Although, many of us would probably agree that this is fine, if the flashed up version is connected with its debut on a new platform, like in the case of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. While making a production run smoothly on a console is not that big of a deal, adjusting it for myriads of configurations that PC offers is nearly impossible. This might be one of the reasons why this title crashes for some fans who have been waiting eagerly for the most recent TLoU. If you are affected by this problem and looking for an answer, here you will find what can be done about it.Fixes for crashes in TLoU2We have seen the graphical comparison between original The Last of Us Part 2 and its remastered version. While many would argue that the visual change is not very significant, we cannot deny that Remaster adds more features to the game like relentless No Return mode or a playable clicker, to name a few. Since PC players had no opportunity to play this production before, now they are able to experience it in the full… providing that the title does not crash for them. How to fix it?Related:The most anticipated The Last of Us 2 mods. What should modders add in the first placeAs mentioned before, optimizing a game for many PC setups, both hardware and software wise, is nearly impossible, so it’s expected that it will go astray for some fans. If you are one of the unlucky few who got affected (as otherwise TLoU2 gets very positive reviews on Steam), don’t fret, you can try the following:The first thing to try, especially if the title crashes at specific points, like at the theater, is to lower the resolution. It has been reported by many fans that this helped in their instances.Keep your drivers up to date, particularly GPU. Additionally, if you use AMD graphics card, you should do it immediately, as the developers themselves have admitted that outdated drivers from this manufacturer can cause the crashes.Try disabling the third-party software, focusing on overlays like MSI Afterburner, SteelSeries GG, Nvidia Reflex, or similar. They are known to cause issues in many productions.If nothing mentioned above helped, do not hesitate to open a ticket with Nixxes support, yet first, follow the guidelines and tips they have shared in their help page.Of course, the last resort we can rely on are further patches that will (hopefully) improve the stability of TLoU2, making it more accessible for everyone. Till then, though, we have to rely on workarounds and local fixes and hoping for the best. Good luck!More:The Last of Us 2 Guide June 19, 2020
- [Best Open-World Games To Explore In 2025 - GameSpot](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/best-open-world-games-to-explore-in-2025-gamespot/) - GameSpot may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and from purchases through links. Open-world games offer players large worlds to explore, often with a massive amount of side and optional content. While these games often overlap with the RPG genre, they can also be in other genres, like racing or stealth games. The common thread through all of the games on this list are worlds that players can explore with a large amount of freedom, often with persistent progression to build your character and tackle increasing challenges. While not every open-world game contains a large explorable world, that expiration and discovery is a key part of what makes open-world games special.Some of the most notable games in the genre are also some of the best-selling games of all-time, like The Witcher 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, touting huge worlds full of side quests, lovable characters, and new places to explore. Despite the heavy focus on exploration, these games also often feature deep narratives as well, although there are exceptions to that as well. Many of the games on this list are fairly modern, thanks to an increase in size and depth to the open-worlds due to more powerful hardware introduced with more modern consoles. Below you can see our picks for the best open-world games you can play right now. These span a variety of platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, and we've tried to lean into games that are still widely available and well worth playing in 2025.
- [10 Video Game Enemies So Hard They Got DELETED - WhatCulture.com](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/10-video-game-enemies-so-hard-they-got-deleted-whatculture-com/) - The creation of any video game is littered with the corpses of hundreds of ideas that just don't make the cut for one of many reasons. Levels get erased, entire plot points are wiped out, and it goes without saying that many potential enemies end up being cast aside before a game goes gold. And in
- [Bloodbath in paradise: Action classic for $2 instead of $20 - NotebookCheck.net News](https://zombiegaming.org/2025/04/04/bloodbath-in-paradise-action-classic-for-2-instead-of-20-notebookcheck-net-news/) - Fun zombie action with outdated technology Dead Island: Riptide was developed by Techland and released in partnership with publisher Deep Silver in April 2013. The deal currently on offer refers to the Definitive Edition, which followed in May 2016. This version includes all previously released DLCs along with technical upgrades such as sharper textures and improved lighting effects. The German website gamecritics.de reviewed the PS4 version of Dead Island: Riptide – Definitive Edition and praised its entertaining combat system and the diverse, well-designed game world. However, it also pointed out that the visuals still feel dated despite the enhancements and that the game lacks fresh features compared to its predecessor. Still, gamecritics.de gave it a solid 73 out of 100, recognizing the fun factor despite its technical shortcomings. Since its release, Dead Island: Riptide – Definitive Edition has gathered nearly 6,000 user reviews on Steam – with 76% of them rated positive. The response on Metacritic is in a similar range, with a Metascore of 7.0 and a user score of 7.5. 90% discount at Fanatical Dead Island: Riptide – Definitive Edition normally sells for around $20, but Fanatical is currently offering the zombie slasher at a 90% discount, bringing the price down to just $2 until April 14. According to SteamDB, the game often goes on sale with steep discounts, typically dropping to around $3. This makes Fanatical’s deal the lowest price yet. As an official reseller, Fanatical provides a game key that can be activated on Steam.Fanatical

- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41942/) - It was meant as an admin deterrent, not an actual admin. I have noticed a population drop since i have removed the bot. I am looking at reinstating.
- [Brainbread: Source](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41941/) - Yeah, I played BB when I was 10, got a pretty good rep in the asd2bam server. You can ask me if you wanna play it I managed to get my stuff back from my first ever Steam account just a few months ago so I might not be as good...not like you need that
- [Brainbread: Source](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41939/) - Never played or even heard of the original but from the little content they have it looks alright
- [State of Decay?](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41938/) - I beat it on the Xbox. Tottaly not what i expected when i played it, but that does not mean its bad. It was really cool. I didnt realy like the ending, and if you try to just make it do what ever you want at that time instead of going to the last misson
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41935/) - How would it act as an admin? If you dont mind me asking.
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41934/) - Upon next server reboot, OverSeer will be gone The original intent was to place a bot that could act as an admin, however with the bot constantly talking, it kind of defeats the purpose. I will continue to research this over the next few months, however for now it is gone.
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41933/) - Well, i have played on that DM server and we have some 'brazilians' players that talks on chat on their main language, so the Bot 'copy' their chats and repeats it on chatbox. Since the bot will speak 40% Portuguese, 40% enlgish 20% other languages, we should remove it for now IF the community members
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41932/) - Should I remove it then, Taba?
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41931/) - That bot is from a HL2 DM plugin, he talks (repeat same old people's chat) when no one is talking with him. There's a command to 'kill' (kick) him from the server, but i think only Quag can do that.
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41930/) - I know! I also tried gagging it, but you cant target it.
- [Overseer](https://zombiegaming.org/forums/reply/41929/) - Even though its a bot i still find the need to tell it to shut up when it talks nonsense

Since we're under construction of a new administrate team of ZG's community, and i'm currently hiring some Team Leads to command their moderators of each game's servers.

Essentially we would have a lead admin for each of the major games that we host. I like it. I think the details should be left up to the next Chief admin on how this will work.
