Cult Classics: Horror Edition
With Halloween right around the corner, I decided to make a list of my top five horror movies that I like to watch during the spooky season.
Let’s get started, shall we?
#1
#2
#3
#4
And last but not least,
#5
My apologies if you don’t agree with this list. I’m a huge fan of serial killer/slasher films than the paranormal.
Some honourable mentions that are still my favourite but don’t make the cut include:
- Wrong Turn Series
- 1408
- A Nightmare on Elm Street
- Rocky Horror Picture Show (Even though it’s not a horror)
- Sinister
- House on Haunted Hill
- Beetlejuice
- The Hills Have Eyes
Of course, there are way more movies I would like to add but I think I’ll keep the rest a secret.
Have a fun and safe Halloween and remember, stay spooky!
Did Black Panther Reveal Too Much in Its Latest Trailer?
The new trailer for Black Panther is here!
The upcoming Marvel movie is up to make history as the MCU’s first black-led superhero movie, but could it already be making some mistakes?
The trailer features tons of epic shots, making Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa look awesome.
However, one particular shot has some people scratching their heads.
That is when it’s revealed that Michael Jordan’s Erik Killmonger also has a Black Panther costume, almost identical to T’Challa’s.
Of course, none of us knows what kinds of amazing surprises Black Panther has in store for us, but hopefully, there’ll be some good ones because that was quite a big reveal.
Other than that, the action-packed trailer is all kinds of awesome. We’ll be watching this movie no matter what.
Check out the trailer:

NYCC: The Justice League Trailer is HERE
Thank you, New York Comic-Con.
As much as people complain about the DCEU, one has to admit, they always deliver one heck of a trailer.
Yes, people, the Justice League Heroes Trailer has dropped and it checks almost every box.
I say almost because there is still no sign of Dark Superman, although we do get both a look at Henry Cavil and a black Superman logo.
Other than that, the three-minute trailer is packed with action and filled with nice, funny, and even tender moments between our league of heroes.
Check it out:

Is This the Final Confirmation We Needed That We’re Getting Black-Suited Superman in Justice League?
Ever since Superman’s death in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice fans have speculated that he’d come back with a black suit.
Well, now fans have something to hang on to, as Mattel’s Justice League catalogue features Superman in a black suit.
Even though this is not 100% confirmed, it’s a pretty strong hint that we might be able to see Henry Cavil’s Superman sporting some different colors.
