"Disney" and "horror" are not words that go together for most people. The filmmaking company's brand is synonymous with animated family movies. It's an organization built on dreams, not nightmares.

Think, though, and you'll realize that the very best Disney films typically have moments of horror. The Headless Horseman's appearance in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is the first time I can remember a movie scaring me. The wicked Coachman (Charles Judels) in "Pinocchio" delights in turning little boys into jackasses, sentencing them to a living hell as donkeys deprived of humanity. "Hellfire" from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" even has Judge Claude Frollo (Tony Jaye) being tormented by his lust for Esmeralda (Demi Moore) and apparitions, all backed to an ominous, ghostly Latin choir.

Then, look back to the beginning of the Disney animated feature canon with 1937's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." After sparing Snow White (Adriana Caselotti...

Disney's adaptation of Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1997) is often considered the studio's most mature film, and for good reason. Along with dark themes of religion, prejudice, lust, and other adult concepts, it also re-envisioned several iconic Disney tropes.

Judge Claude Frollo fits the role of a classic Disney villain brilliantly but does it realistically to show young viewers that villains aren't always evil queens or wicked wizards but people in positions of power we're supposed to trust. However, one viewer made a recent observation that Frollo, like most true-to-life villains, didn't have to walk the path he chose.

Disney's divine intervention

Before Disney was doling out ice queens, Lin-Manuel Miranda soundtracks, and countless sequels and remakes, there was a time when experimentation and mature storytelling reigned supreme. While many are quick to praise The Lion King (1994), The Hunchback of Notre Dame could be considered a true Renaissance piece.

Meet the Hellverine, Laura Kinney transformed into a fierce Ghost Rider mashup challenging even her dad, Wolverine. The Hellverine #1's variant cover, by Elena Casagrande, showcases Laura as a Spirit of Vengeance with flaming claws ready for battle. Logan's daughter, Laura Kinney, merges with the Spirit of Vengeance to create one of Marvel's fiercest characters yet.

Wolverine’s new Ghost Rider form is officially challenging Logan for Marvel’s coolest. The “Hellverine,” a Wolverine and Ghost Rider mashup, is heading to the Marvel Universe this May. In a special Stormbreakers variant, by Elena Casagrande, for Hellverine #1, Logan’s daughter Laura Kinney is bonded with a Spirit of Vengeance, creating one of the fiercest Marvel characters to date–and she can give her dad a run for his money.

Exclusive: Saban Films has acquired worldwide rights to The 4:30 Movie, the latest film written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks). The film marks the second collaboration for Saban and Smith, on the heels of 2019’s Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which scored one of the top-per theatre average openings of the year amongst titles like Parasite and Avengers: Endgame.

Set in the summer of 1986, the coming-of-age comedy follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local multiplex. But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) to see the latest comedy, each of the teens will learn something serious about life and love before the credits roll.

The resemblance between the Star Wars franchise and Helldivers 2 is uncanny, if someone doesn’t know any better, they could have passed as part of a shared universe, and fans have pointed that out extensively with the Clone Wars by remaking a whole sequence based on the beloved animated show.

With the fact that Helldivers look like Clone troopers and even fight extraterrestrial and invincible enemies, a connection was bound to be made.

Star Wars fans are more likely to be captivated by the lore of Helldivers, as they also feature a Galactic War and massive space battles.

This game is certainly right up their alley, and it feels like the game was made for them and other enthusiasts of intergalactic warfare and immersive action. The Clone Wars was the height of the Star Wars prequel trilogy and has been a fan favorite ever since.
