Freddy Gets Fingered: Is 'A Nightmare On Elm Street II' The Gayest Horror Film Of All Time?
After the bloody-curdling success of 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street, a sequel was immediately green-lit for the following year. With a change of both staff and style came A Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge. Finally, Fred Krueger was back with his razor-edged glove, but this time he came literally screaming out of the closet and into our nightmares. Dubbed the "homo A Nightmare on Elm Street," it is time to dust that rhinestone fedora with some pink glitter and get ready for the gayest film since Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Is Jessica Lange Confirmed To Butcher The Competition On 'American Horror Story?'
Well what a week of American Horror Story that was – the big twist may as well have torn our heads right off, but the tone was certainly set for the "real" season of the show to begin. We had Sarah Paulson and her dodgy British accent, Kathy Bates sporting her American Realtor Realness haircut, and a whole lot of trouble heading back to the Roanoke house. In the words of Geoffrey Rush in House on Haunted Hill – "sure is a funky old house, ain't it?"

For Peters's Sake: Have We Seen The Last Of Evan Peters (Again) On 'American Horror Story?'
Well, Ryan Murphy definitely promised us a twist for the sixth episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but I don't think anyone was prepared for that whopper. While we're still in mourning over the loss of Evan Peters's Edward Philippe Mott from Episode 5, things looked promising when it was confirmed that Peters would be back in a different role. With a truly shocking week, did things fair any better this time round on the Roanoke ranch?

Deadpool Is Back To Slay The Competition With Marketing Awards Nomination!
Here he comes again, fresh off giving the box office a jolly good rogering, the Merc with a Mouth has another NSFW video reminding us just how great his film really was. We love you Deadpool! Ryan Reynolds has once again slipped into his scarlet suit to explain to us exactly why he should win the coveted Clio Golden Key Award for "Best Integrated Marketing Campaign" — it all sounds very wordy, but as Deadpool would probably say, "We got shit done."

Alien Vs. Freddie? The Horror Mashups You Never Knew You Needed!
Nope, not Freddy, it's Freddie — get away from her you silky voiced b**ch. Who in the realms of space ever thought to put Freddie Mercury in among the cast of the Alien franchise? I can see the connotation of Mercury and space, but that is where the link ends. However, internet wizard David Unger has used his magic to combine the music of Queen and the Alien Queen in one glorious video. Unger's channel offers some of the best cinematic mashups around, but for the meantime check out Freddie and the Xenomorph:

Here Come The Men In Black: Westworld's Time Time Travel Theory Is A Mindblower!
Warning: Spoilers for Westworld Episode 3 'The Stray' ahead! With Westworld theories coming thick and fast, it looks like HBO's all-star Western is becoming more like an episode of Sherlock than your standard John Wayne outing. The latest Westworld puzzler proposes a twist that seems plucked from the screenplay of Saw IV — are we actually seeing two different timelines play out on the plains of the wild, wild, West? If so, the truth about Ed Harris's Man in Black has been right in front of our noses this whole time.

No Fairytale Ending: The Horrific Story Of Creepypasta's 'Abandoned By Disney'!
Abandoned theme parks, zombie mascots, and an Area 51-style conspiracy — just in time for Halloween. Plucked from the hellish nightmares of Walt himself, the story of Abandoned By Disney comes "first hand" from Christopher Howard Wolf, aka Redditor Slimebeast. On a par with the story of Slender Man, Abandoned By Disney is one of Creepypasta's most notorious stories. As with all these "true events" stories, the question remains — "Is there any truth in the story?" With X-Files like intuition I am here to find out, but warn you to turn back now — you will never hug Donald Duck again, ever!

Mighty Morphin Mashup Trailers: The Power Rangers Get A '90s Reboot!
Ah the '90s — an era before Raven-Symoné preferred the company of women, where you could drink Sunny D without fear of losing your teeth, and Barney the Dinosaur hadn't yet been accused of sex offenses. I myself was a huge fan of the '90s, and once got a toy Power Ranger hand lodged up my nose — only my Grandma and a pair of pliers could remove it.

'Bravest Warriors' Is What Happens If You Cross 'Rick And Morty' With 'Adventure Time'
Adults, watching cartoons, pfft, what sorcery is this! We all do it, so don't pretend like you don't. However — if you like to feel like a grown-up — on the more "adult" end of the spectrum is Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's sci-fi smorgasbord Rick and Morty. We will (finally) pick up Season 2's cliffhanger ending when the series flies in its third season by the end of the year. As we continue to grow old waiting for the show return, here is something to quench your cartoon thirst in the meantime.
