In the early 1980s, writer S.S. Wilson was climbing over large boulders in the Mojave Desert when the thought occurred to him, “What if something was under the ground and I couldn’t get off this rock?” That thought would eventually grow into the story for one of the greatest creature features ever made, Tremors (watch it Here), which was directed by Ron Underwood from a screenplay Wilson wrote with Brent Maddock. That movie, released by Universal in 1990, introduced viewers to the subterranean monsters known as Graboids and spawned a franchise that has – so far – consisted of six direct-to-video sequels and a TV series that ran for thirteen episodes back in 2003. Wilson, Maddock, and their production company Stampede Entertainment were behind the first four movies and the TV show, and they had written a script for Tremors 5… but Universal kept the script on a shelf for several years, and when...

When Universal Pictures released the classic creature feature Tremors (watch it Here) back in 1990, they decided to market it with poster art that brings to mind the iconic poster for Universal’s 1975 release Jaws. But before they made that choice, they had hired famed artist Drew Struzan – whose work includes the posters for Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Star Wars films, among many others – come up with a couple poster ideas. Yesterday, Struzan took to social media to share a look at a couple of his unused Tremors poster concepts… and you can check them out in this embed:

Tremors fans may have seen this artwork before, as Struzan has already posted both poster concepts online in recent years, but...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at one of my personal all-time favorite movies, the 1990 creature feature Tremors (watch it Here)! To find out what we had to say about Tremors, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Ron Underwood from a screenplay by Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson (who also share story credit with Underwood), Tremors has the following synopsis: Handymen Val McKee and Earl Bassett are tired of their dull lives in the small desert town of Perfection, Nevada. But just as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a concerned seismologist studying unnatural readings below the ground. With the help of an eccentric couple, the group fights for survival against giant, worm-like monsters hungry for human flesh.

The film stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward,...

Plus Kevin Alejandro cheats on Lafayette, Nicholas Rodriguez goes to Oklahoma!, and why Jake Shears doesn't wear a lobster as a hat.

Above you can see Chris Colfer doing good deeds by visiting a retirement home. Seriously, he was at the Performers Peer Group Reception for the Emmy Awards, but I couldn't stop singing "One of these things is not like the others." This morning Ryan Murphy told listeners of Ryan Seacrest's radio program that Britney Spears will be appearing in the episode of Glee that uses her music, which makes more sense than her appearing in a episode that uses Michael Jackson's music, which Ryan Murphy says he doesn't think he can license, as much as he wants to. So the Super Bowl episode will...
