A video game based on an established IP is usually a fun prospect, especially if the original creators of that IP get involved in some way. According to a new report from IGN, the Halloween franchise will be getting not one, but two games in the future. While not much was revealed about what these games would be about or how exactly they would play, the report detailed that those who do play the game will be able to relive some of their favorite moments from the franchise. Considering how long and influential the Halloween franchise is, with the most recently entry coming out less that two years ago, there is definitely a lot of material to pull from when it comes to iconic moments.

Thrilling Hollywood horror franchise has 2 games in development with director’s help

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark horror A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The film, which introduced the iconic villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), transformed the face of the genre, blending the then-typical slasher (only a relatively new breed at the time with the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th) with disturbing supernatural elements only a creative genius like director Wes Craven could dream up.

The Best Horror Films on Prime Video to Watch Right Now

There are very few movies that are absolutely perfect, and moviegoers tend to be fairly forgiving when it comes to a film that they enjoyed. There aren’t many feelings that are greater than leaving a theater after a film has concluded perfectly, as it may be an experience so exhilarating that viewers want to immediately get in line and see it again. However, many iconic films have alternate endings that are either shrouded in mystery or included on a home video release.

The Perseid meteor shower is one we can count on every summer for a great show, weather permitting, and this year’s event reaches its peak tonight. Late Sunday night into the pre-dawn hours of Monday will be the best time to see the Perseids, according to NASA. You’ll want to find a viewing spot with clear, dark skies, but you won’t need any special equipment to get the most out of the experience — the meteors should be plentiful, and visible to the naked eye.

Horror movies are so timeless and versatile because they can take place across a variety of settings and periods. It's not as limited as, say, science-fiction movies, which are commonly associated with the future, or fantasy movies, many of which take place in entirely different worlds. The only basic requirement for horror movies is that they be intentionally scary, or at least try to be, which means filmmakers can utilize pretty much any setting they want.
