The upcoming series “Welcome to Derry” is taking us back to where it all began this coming Fall, with HBO unleashing the official teaser trailer for the It prequel series this morning.

The nine episode HBO series will serve as a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic, and yes, Bill Skarsgård will be making his return as the iconic villain Pennywise the Clown.

“Welcome to Derry” is being positioned as a true continuation of Andy Muschietti’s It movies, telling a brand new story that’s been pulled from the pages of King’s classic novel.

Andy Muschietti will direct multiple episodes of the original series.

“Welcome to Derry” kicks off its story in 1962 in the time leading up to the events of It: Chapter One (2017). The series is based on Mike Hanlon’s interludes from King’s book, which document “catastrophic events” from Derry, Maine’s past. Muschietti...

Horror legend George A. Romero is teaming up with a frequent collaborator for his next zombie movie, which will be seeking buyers at the Fantasia International Film Festival market this summer. The new project is entitled Road of the Dead, which George A. Romero co-wrote with Matt Birman, who is slated to direct this project. It isn't clear when production may begin, but this project will be just the director's second feature film, although he has spent decades in other areas of production.

IndieWire reports that this project originated from a Matt Birman pitch from roughly 10 years ago. The story is set on a remote island where zombie prisoners race cars in a modern-day Coliseum, all for the entertainment of affluent humans. The director describes the project as a hybrid of Road Warrior and Rollerball, set at a Nascar race, and that there is "significant inspiration" from the iconic 1959 classic Ben-Hur.

Syfy's demon-hunting drama about Wyatt Earp's descendant starts on Spike UK tonight at 9pm. Here's a spoiler-free look from our Us chums...

It's hard to talk about the first two episodes of Syfy's new supernatural western Wynonna Earp without referencing a million other TV shows. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Many of the TV shows I was reminded of while watching Wynonna kick demon ass — from Supernatural to Wonderfalls — are great. However, it's important to know going into Wynonna Earp that you are not going to find much originality in this plot structure. You will, however, find a lot of fun...

Wynonna Earp, based on a comic book of the same name, tells the story of (you guessed it) Wynonna Earp, the 20-something female descandant of frontiersman and marshall Wyatt Earp. Haunted by a childhood family tragedy, Wynonna has been on the run from her...

Syfy has officially acquired Wynonna Earp, a 13-episode Canadian drama series based on the Idw Publishing comic created by Beau Smith. Melanie Scrofano (Damien, Gangland Undercover) is set to star as Wynonna, Tim Rozon (Being Human, Instant Star) will play legendary con artist Doc Holliday, and Shamier Anderson (Defiance, Constantine) plays the mysterious Agent Dolls. Emily Andras (Lost Girl, Killjoys) is developing the series for television and will serve as executive…...
