CBS Films and Lionsgate have released a new creepy as fuck trailer for producer Guillermo del Toro’s eagerly anticipated adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s terrifying 80’s children’s book series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.”
Helmed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), the film is set in 1968 and follows a group of American teenagers tormented by the tales of a deeply traumatized girl in a book they find while breaking into the mansion she once lived.
Heavy metal outfit Slipknot have released a video for “Solway Firth,” the second track from its sixth album “We Are Not Your Kind,” out Aug. 9. The video features gory good fun from scenes of Amazon Original’s new anti-hero series “The Boys.”

Ana de la Reguera (“Narcos”) is set to battle the living dead for director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) this summer in his return to the zombies, Army of the Dead. The Mexican stunner plays part of a mercenary squad out to pull a heist in Las Vegas during a zombie outbreak.
She joins an ensemble cast that includes Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Theo Rossi (“Sons of Anarchy”), Nora Amezeder (Maniac), and hot up-and-comer Ella Purnell (Maleficent).
Fright fans may recognize de la Reguera from roles in “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” Kevin Greutert’s creepy 2014 supernatural thriller Jessabelle, and 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens.
Army of the Dead marks Snyder’s return to directing after last helming 2017’s Justice League and will premiere as a Netflix exclusive.
HBO has released a full-length trailer for season three of “Westworld,” a re-imagining of the 1973 Michael Crichton novel about androids run amok in an amusement park designed for humans to indulge in their lust for blood and sex.
The new season finds more pesky cyborgs pooping on everyone’s parade with their newfound awareness. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), a host-controlled Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson), and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) are creating chaos in the real world while Maeve (Thandie Newton) raises hell in a WWII-themed park.
Marvel Studios has set a May 1, 2020 release date for its standalone Scarlett Johansson superhero pic, Black Widow. Set prior to the events of 2012’s The Avengers, the spinoff depicts Natasha Romanoff’s rise from troubled, sexy Soviet spy to sexy and righteous superhero.
Johansson said:
I get to play Natahsa as a fully realized woman and in all of her many facets. I’m excited for fans to see the flawed side of her, what she perceives to be the flawed side of her.
Co-starring alongside Johansson are David Harbour (“Stranger Things”), O-T Fagbenle (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Rachel Weisz (The Mummy), and Florence Pugh (Midsommar), who plays Black Widow nemesis-turned-ally and Black Widow successor Yelena Belova.
Cate Shortland, the Aussie director behind the suspenseful Teresa Palmer abduction thriller The Berlin Syndrome, is at the helm.
The photo above is altered to reflect how Scarlett Johansson’s wardrobe should have been worn as Black Widow. Here’s hoping the new film finally gets it right!

American Beauty stunner Thora Birch is set to join the season 10 cast of AMC’s revamped zombie drama “The Walking Dead.” Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd made the announcement at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego.

Birch, who is coming off Lucky McKee’s Kindred Spirits, has only starred in a handful of horror projects, including The Hole, Dark Corners, Train, and the Brittany Murphy vehicle Deadline. She is, of course, best known for her topless tour de force in the Oscar-winning 1999 dramedy American Beauty.

Craig Zobel, director of the wonderfully fucked up Compliance, is at the helm for superstar producers Jason Blum and Damon Lindelof (“LOST”), who co-wrote the script with Nick Cuse (“The Leftovers”).
Co-starring with Gilpin are Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story”), Ike Barinholtz (“Mindy Project”), Ethan Suplee (“My Name Is Earl”), Justin Hartley (“This Is Us”), and Oscar-winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby). The Hunt arrives in theaters Sept. 27.
