Test Your Twisted Knowledge With The Serial Killer Trivia Board Game!
Written by Patti Pauley
Do you have an insatiable appetite for acquiring knowledge of America’s most nefarious serial killers? How about a fan of good ol’ fashioned board games? Well, get ready to crap your pants because “The Serial Killer Trivia Board Game” is a very real thing. While it’s true, the game has been available for quite some time, but in the case you’ve never heard of this little “family fun” gem, let’s take a look at this twisted retro-looking board game that was banned in Canada for being outright one of the most fucked up games you could bring to the table for an adult game night. Thanks Culture Heroes Inc.!
This stunning one-of-a-kind board game comes neatly packaged in a beautiful display box that is sure to catch the eyes of any guests that may be visiting- bonus points if you have the box sitting among your Better Homes And Gardens magazines that you shove on that bottom shelf of the coffee table. The basic premise of the game is to break into homes on the board and claim five victims to complete your “spree” before the other players. As you enter the homes in the game, you pick a trivia card and follow the instructions on said card to seal the fate of your potential victim by answering questions correctly.The questions can range from basic knowledge of various serial killers to FBI profiling so the questions vary in difficulty from card to card. To make the kill official, you have to dump your victim’s body in a certain area on the board. Makes perfect sense as most serial killers had favorite spots to dump the bodies.
The board also offers chance cards, which of course are just that and can either progress or hinder you from reaching your next victim. The best part has got to be the game pawns though. Players can between pawns such as Richard Ramirez, Aileen Wuornos, Ed Gein, Albert Fish, or Ted Bundy as they slash their way across the board into bloody victory.
So if you just so happen are scouring the market for a new game for those Friday night adult gatherings, and have an awesomely tasteless sense of humor- I mean come on, is Cards Against Humanity that much more classy? Then move over Daniel Radcliffe’s delicious asshole, The Serial Killer Trivia Game gets its own game night this week! You can buy it on Amazon right here!

‘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.
