New Trailer Reveals ‘Penny Dreadful’ Continues This October in Comic Form
Penny Dreadful continues in comic book form.
After only three seasons the cult-hit show, Penny Dreadful came to an alarming end. It was a sudden blow for us fans. We were not expecting the stories to be over, after all, in last season we learned of the discovery of Imhotep, and anyone familiar with old classic horror will recognize that name. The Mummy!
The Mummy was going to be part of our lives through the events of the Penny Dreadful. And honestly I would love to have seen the way they presented him.
Then the show was canceled prematurely and we were left with an admittedly rushed ending, but nevertheless stylish and well done, all things considered. It was a proper farewell to the show, one that lingered on an autumn funeral. And that’s sadly how it felt – we were gathered to pay our respects to a beautiful show that had been very much a part of our lives for the past few years, but was now no more.
For three years, fans dedicated their time to faithfully join in the harrowing ventures of Vanessa Ives (Eva Green), Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), and Sir Malcom Murray (Timothy Dalton) as they faced the rising shadows of awakening malevolence stirring in their midst. The show was bold and pitted the heroes against some of the most well-known evils among us – Satan and Dracula.
According to Penny Dreadful, both Satan and Dracula were brothers who led a violent rebellion in Heaven. Both were equal in power and cunning, and both were hurled from the Kingdom of Heaven. One was sent to Hell to reign in flames and feed off human souls. The other was cast down to Earth to reign in nocturnal shadows and feast on human blood, for the blood is the life.
Through each season, the hunt for Dracula was on. As they progressed, the heroes also had to deal with many of their own jaded pasts and attached demons. In a few cases, the demons would tear through them and leave wet piles of human entrails nested in spilled blood in their wake. Often times the heroes were not so noble, and they caused almost as much calamity as the demons they sought.
Just like Hannibal, it was sad to see a quality horror show fade away too soon. There was still plenty left to tell.
That’s why Chris King, the former co-producer of the show, has teamed up with Titan Comics to bring us more of the story we deserve. The synopsis of the story is as follows:
“THE SELL-OUT AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COMIC SERIES RETURNS! CONTINUES THE STORY DIRECTLY AFTER THE DEVASTATING EVENTS OF PENNY DREADFUL’S SEASON THREE TV FINALE! Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) finds himself unable to move on. As he searches desperately for meaning in a world without Vanessa (Eva Green), ancient words echo across the centuries, and he is called on once again to take up arms against the creatures crawling out of the night.” – ComicBook Round Up

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
