November on The Horror Channel

"From November 3rd, Horror Channel celebrates vintage 1950s home-grown fantasy and horror with a Hammer Classics Season, The primetime Saturday night season, consisting of four network premieres, which star the iconic Peter Cushing, kicks off with Val Guest's atmospheric masterpiece, The Abominable Snowman.

The other three, all directed by Terence Fisher, are the highly successful adaptations of the classic Universal monster movies: the brilliantly lurid The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), the hypnotically sensual and gory Dracula (1958), which launched Cushing and Christopher Lee into global stardom, and The Mummy (1959), perhaps the most critically well-received Hammer movie of all time.

There are also Friday night network premieres for darkly gripping sci-fi thriller Splice, John Carpenter's brilliant body-mangling monster horror The Thing, starring Kurt Russell, Aussie shark schlockfest Bait, the 2008 US remake of The Eye, starring Jessica Alba and psychological thriller House At The End Of The Street, starring Jennifer Lawrence."

FX's What We Do In The Shadows TV Show Gets First Teaser Trailers
01 Nov, 2018

The first teaser trailers from FX's What We Do in the Shadows TV series have arrived. Prior to becoming the director of Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi made a name for himself through a series of unique comedy shorts, TV series, and films. One of those movies was the vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows. Waititi co-wrote, co-starred, and co-directed the film with his longtime collaborator, Jermaine Clement.

The movie was a critical success and has developed a cult following, so much so that Waititi began to develop the concept as a U.S. based TV series. Waititi and Clement are back in integral roles for the TV series, although there's plenty of other changes at the heart of the show. Instead of taking place in New Zealand, the new series - which found a home with FX - will chronicle the lives of a new vampire community set in New York.

Glimpses of this new take can now finally be seen, as FX released two quick teasers for What We Do in the Shadows as part of the Halloween festivities. The first teaser shows two of the vampires - Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and Laszlo (Matt Berry) - in their gothic house with their latest servant Guillermo (Harvey Guillen) as they wait for guests. The second teaser focuses on Nandor and his shopping habits, and apparent lack of understanding when it comes to the correct currency to use.




For anyone worried that an Americanized What We Do in the Shadows would lose some of its luster, these teasers do a great job of immediately making it clear that won't be the case. This shouldn't be too surprising since both Waititi and Clement are involved with the series, with Waititi reportedly directing several episodes. Of course, this is only about 30 seconds of actual footage from the show, so the true test will be how it holds up from episode to episode during the 10-episode first season.

Now that marketing is beginning for What We Do in the Shadows, it, hopefully, won't be too long before more information becomes available. It has been confirmed that it will premiere sometime in the spring of 2019, but no specific date has been announced yet. Fans of the original film are still wondering if any of those characters could make brief appearances in the series. As of right now, no plans for such surprises have been made, with the rest of the cast headlined by The Shape of Water's Doug Jones. Even though this is hardly any footage and only shows a few characters, this looks to be a positive start to What We Do in the Shadows' marketing

Showtime’s upcoming Halo TV show is reportedly casting its version of main protagonist Master Chief. After years of attempts to bring the popular video game franchise Halo to live-action form - including a canceled film by Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp - premium cable network Showtime finally greenlit a live-action television show set in the massive world. The series will be produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and is expected to air sometime in 2020.

While the Halo TV show will be an original story that isn’t based on any single game in the long-running franchise, it was confirmed the show would definitely feature main protagonist John-117 or, as he’s more commonly known, Master Chief as one of the lead characters. However, not much else was known about the character’s involvement or how close his appearance and demeanor would be to his video game counterpart. At least, that is, until now.

According to THR, Showtime is currently in the early stages of casting someone in the role of Master Chief for its upcoming Halo series. According to the report, Showtime is looking for a “man with a large build” for the role, which is in line with the character’s appearance in the games. Also included in the report is the fact that the series is also looking to cast someone in the role of prominent supporting character Dr. Catherine Halsey. Interestingly, there’s also a casting call for a character named Jenny, aged 18-20 and of Asian descent.


In the Halo games, Halsey is the mastermind behind the SPARTAN-II program, which aimed to create super-soldiers wearing powerful Mjolnir Assault Armor to combat alien threats like the Covenant and of which Master Chief is a part. The casting call is reportedly looking for someone between the ages of 55-65, so it’s likely that the television show will cover the later parts of the program, after the Spartans have already grown up and are full-fledged warriors. On the other hand, no character named Jenny exists in the games and is likely an original creation for the show.

This is certainly great news for fans of the Halo games who were previously worried that Showtime wouldn’t bring a video game accurate version of Master Chief to the small screen. While it’s not yet known who will be playing the character, it seems like it will certainly be someone who’s intimidating enough to carry such a role. Either way, the Halo show is chugging along nicely and it seems likely that it’s only a matter of time until Showtime finds its ideal Master Chief.

Halo is expected to premiere on Showtime in 2020
