Although the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 trailer was released earlier today to showcase all the new horrors awaiting in the titular pizzeria, Blumhouse saved one sinister surprise for attendees at the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel tonight. In addition to Skeet Ulrich reuniting with his fellow Ghostface Matthew Lilliard in the sequel, there's another new animatronic set to make its debut in theaters this December. A new sneak peek was shared that highlighted the creepy Marionette, a haunting being that gamers will remember hiding in a music box that needed to be kept wound in Scott Cawthon's second installment in the horror video game franchise, lest bad things happen. Collider's Samantha Coley was in attendance to get a look at the frightful puppet and its purpose in the footage.

The new look opens with Mckenna Grace's paranormal investigator and her video crew being guided on a...

The twisted, supernaturally-possessed Chuck E. Cheese knockoffs from your worst nightmares are back and hungry for more ... and this time, they're bringing some company along for the ride. The first "Five Nights at Freddy's" adaptation in 2023 was an instant hit at the box office, coming as no surprise to anyone paying attention to the unique zeitgeist it tapped into. Based on the uber-popular video games by creator Scott Cawthon, director Emma Tammi's big franchise play was boosted by ravenous Gen-Zers who grew up with that series and helped turn the property into an internet sensation in the first place. Unlike the brightly-lit, meme-friendly, blocky joys of "Minecraft," this particular piece of gaming IP speaks to the "Creepypasta" generation of kids who enjoy a slightly more acerbic style of storytelling.

It was only a matter of time before a sequel arrived, and now we're getting a fresh look at the...

Barron's Cove is an intense and dark new movie starring Garrett Hedlund as Caleb, a man with a rocky past who gets thrown into deep grief and rage when his son dies. Vowing vengeance for the death of his only child, Caleb seeks revenge against the unexpected person responsible: a young boy, Ethan (Christian Convery), the same age as his lost boy. The film also stars Tramell Tillman (Severance) as a friend of Caleb, Brittany Snow's Jackie, his ex-wife, Stephen Lang as crime boss Benji, and more.

The movie, which releases in theaters and on VOD on June 6, 2025, starts with a tragic incident and then kicks off even further down its dark path when Caleb, the film's protagonist, kidnaps a child. The Direct's Russ Milheim sat down with star Garrett Hedlund to discuss this shocking direction, to which the actor confirmed that Caleb feels "completely justified" in his actions.

The interview was conducted through the good offices of Cube. Inc.

Keralino Sandorovich (aka Kera) – is a multifaceted figure in the Japanese entertainment industry, known for his unique and eclectic contributions to theater, film, and music. His career is marked by a postmodern approach that seamlessly blends absurdism with deep emotional resonance, making him a distinctive voice in contemporary Japanese arts. Kera began his artistic journey in Tokyo, where he initially delved into the world of music. He was a member of the punk band Uchoten in the 1980s, which laid the foundation for his creative endeavors (from those times originates also his stage name). His transition from music to theater and film was marked by a continuous drive to push boundaries and explore unconventional narratives. In 1992 his theatre company Kenko disbanded to be superseded by Nylon 100℃ established a year later, which became a significant platform for his experimental plays.

Development continues on a live-action "Micronauts" feature film for Paramount and Allspark Pictures based on the Hasbro action figures and comic books, now targeting a June 4, 2021 wide release:

The science fiction toy line was manufactured by Mego from 1976 to 1980.

The core of the toy line designs, articulation and modeling was based on and licensed from the 'Microman' toy line created by Japanese-based toy company Takara in 1974.

Several comic book series based on "Micronauts" were published by Marvel Comics (1979–1986)...

...Image Comics (2002–2003)...

...and Devil's Due Publishing (2004).

The Micronauts originate in the 'Microverse', a collective of diverse habitats linked together in the fashion of molecule chains.

The original team comes together in response to the threat posed by former academic, dictator, 'Baron Karza'.

'Commander Arcturus Rann', returning from a thousand-year deep space voyage in suspended animation, and 'Biotron', his robot co-pilot, return on the 'Hms' ('Homeworld Micro Ship') 'Endeavor',...

Doomsday Clock is finally revealing, piece by piece, why the Justice Society has been absent from the DC Universe.

This article contains Doomsday Clock spoilers.

A key mystery of the DC Universe since Rebirth breathed new life into the entire publishing line in 2016 has been the fate of the Justice Society. The world’s first superhero team were unceremoniously removed from DC continuity in the wake of the events of Flashpoint. Jsa and most related characters, the Alan Scott Green Lantern, the Jay Garrick Flash, and others, were instead shunted off to a new, modern Earth-2 (and series), which was cool enough, but bore little resemblance to their 1940s mystery men roots.

The absence of the Jsa in the New 52 timeline was never explained. Instead, it was generally accepted that the age of superheroes began about 5 years before the events of 2011’s Justice League #1. That compressed timeline...
