The streaming wars have been incredibly good to Stephen King. It feels like virtually every service has a piece of the King pie - Netflix handled Gerald’s Game and 1922, DirecTV got Mr. Mercedes, Apple TV+ is developing Lisey’s Story, Hulu has Castle Rock, and HBO just enjoyed a huge ratings hit with The Outsider. HBO’s parent company Warner Bros. is busily cranking out King adaptations for the multiplexes (whenever they open back up), including last year’s It: Chapter Two and Doctor Sleep and the recently announced Revival. Now, reports that HBO Max is throwing its hat …

Joe Hill knows his way around a comic book. So do the folks at IDW. The two have famously collaborated on a number of projects, past, present, and future, including the acclaimed Locke & Key. Now, the acclaimed author and the maverick comics publisher are teaming up once again for an all new series: Dying Is Easy. And they've done a bang-up job so far. Decidedly different from the magical mayhem of Locke & Key, Dying Is Easy centers on Syd “Shit-Talk” Homes, a disgraced ex-cop, bitter stand-up comic and wanted felon who finds himself …

Once you figure out just what to make of the title NOS4A2 (pronounced like “Nosferatu,”) you might expect some classic vampire lore from AMC’s latest horror offering. And indeed, you will find a vampire of sorts, but the new series based on Joe Hill’s celebrated novel of the same name avoids the classic tropes and familiar monsters of the genre, offering instead an immortal man by the name of Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto) who feeds on the souls of young children and discards the husks of their souls in a terrible Christmas village in his mind called Christmasland. …

Based on the novel by Joe Hill, AMC's NOS4A2 tells the terrifying story of Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto), a ghoulish vampire of sorts who abducts the souls of children and brings them to Christmasland, a wintery hell where kids turn into razor-toothed gremlins and play an unspeakable violent game called "Scissors for the Drifter." After operating for centuries unopposed, Manx meets his match in Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings), a New England teenager who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. Before NOS4A2's premiere, I chatted with Joe Hill about what makes the idea of …

In addition to Greg Nicotero taking on showrunner duties at Shudder's upcoming anthology series Creepshow, horror guru Tom Savini will also be bringing his particular talents to bear. The pair of Pittsburghers have a long shared history in the horror world, not to mention the Creepshow universe, so it'll be a blast to see what the duo get up to on the new show. And rather than just bringing his make-up and prosthetics expertise to the series behind the scenes, Savini will be directing a segment in the upcoming anthology. While attending this past weekend's Monsterpalooza, …
