iHorror Exclusive: Could The Walking Dead’s Daryl Dixon Be The Next Big Villain?

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

We’re about to be four episodes deep into possibly one of the most somber and compelling seasons of The Walking Dead to date and it doesn’t look like things are going to be “Easy Street” anytime soon for Rick and the gang. In tonight’s 90 minute season 7 episode 4 premiere entitled ‘Service’, Negan makes his way to Alexandria with the intention of taking whatever he damn well pleases from the group. This is the first time the gang, who is still grieving from the brutal losses of both Abraham and Glenn, encounter their new dictator. The promo for episode four (shown below) showcases Daryl in tow along with the saviors into Alexandria; also being the first time since he has seen his comrades since his imprisonment. Rumors are swirling that this being a lengthened episode, that we may be saying our goodbyes to another cast member. Well, I can’t say for certain I know that to be a fact. However, an inside source close with the actors on AMC’s hit show exclusively told iHorror to “get ready to fucken hate Daryl this season.”

Although not official, this inside source who has been spot on with me personally about future happenings within the series, including the deaths of Abraham and Glenn, recently let me in on how Norman Reedus’ beloved character Daryl Dixon “will eventually turn to the darkside and become one of the show’s most hated characters.”

That would be quite a mind fuck for fans of the motorcycle riding fan favorite of the series, if this indeed comes to pass.

In last weeks episode “Easy Street”, we saw Negan attempting to slowly break Daryl with dog food sandwiches and the looping of possibly one of the most annoying songs I’ve ever heard. Seriously, anyone could snap even after one listen. Even with an attempted escape, basically telling Negan to his face to go “fuck himself” by refusing to call himself the latter, and a serious ass-whoopin’; Daryl hasn’t faltered. That is until a picture of what was presumably his old buddy Glenn and the aftermath of his encounter with Lucille, was thrown in his cell with him to contemplate over. This is when we see  Daryl break down in tears alongside (thank fucks) a different track courtesy of Roy Orbison. He does believe in a sense, that he is absolutely responsible for Glenn’s horrifying death. As cleverly pointed out by iHorror’s father Anthony Pernicka, Daryl’s wounds may even signify his fate: “I think the wound on Daryl’s back… and the shirt cut in a line with tape down the center of his back is symbolic of Daryl losing his wings. Being caged and turning.”

So is it really that hard to fathom Daryl making a huge transition from hero to villain? Dwight was in his shoes once before, and look where he’s at. This little insider tidbit, although not officially confirmed by anyone over by AMC, may not happen tonight or even in the first half of the season. However whether it’s true or not, I think by the end of season 7, we’re going to see a very different Dixon than what we are used to. Stranger things have happened this year. Just look at the 2016 election.

The Top-Searched Free Horror/Action Movies on Tubi This Week

Published

on

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?

We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.

Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

So take a look at the list below and tell us if you are interested in any of them this weekend.

Morticia & Wednesday Addams Join Monster High Skullector Series

Published

on

Believe it or not, Mattel’s Monster High doll brand has an immense following with both young and not-so-young collectors. 

In that same vein, the fan base for The Addams Family is also very large. Now, the two are collaborating to create a line of collectible dolls that celebrate both worlds and what they have created is a combination of fashion dolls and goth fantasy. Forget Barbie, these ladies know who they are.

The dolls are based on Morticia and Wednesday Addams from the 2019 Addams Family animated movie. 

As with any niche collectibles these aren’t cheap they bring with them a $90 price tag, but it’s an investment as a lot of these toys become more valuable over time. 

“There goes the neighborhood. Meet the Addams Family’s ghoulishly glamorous mother-daughter duo with a Monster High twist. Inspired by the animated movie and clad in spiderweb lace and skull prints, the Morticia and Wednesday Addams Skullector doll two-pack makes for a gift that’s so macabre, it’s downright pathological.”

If you want to pre-purchase this set check out The Monster High website.

1994’s ‘The Crow’ Coming Back to Theaters for A New Special Engagement

Published

on

The Crow

Cinemark recently announced that they will be bringing The Crow back from the dead once again. This announcement comes just in time for the film’s 30th anniversary. Cinemark will be playing The Crow in select theaters on May 29th and 30th.

For those unaware, The Crow is a fantastic film based on the gritty graphic novel by James O’Barr. Widely considered one of the best films of the 90s, The Crow’s lifespan was cut short when Brandon Lee died of an accidental on set shooting.

The official synapsis of the film is as follows. “The modern-gothic original that entranced audiences and critics alike, The Crow tells the tale of a young musician brutally murdered alongside his beloved fiancée, only to be risen from the grave by a mysterious crow. Seeking revenge, he battles a criminal underground that must answer for its crimes. Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee.”

The Crow

The timing of this release couldn’t be better. As a new generation of fans eagerly awaits the release of The Crow remake, they can now see the classic film in all of its glory. As much as we love Bill Skarsgard (IT), there is something timeless in Brandon Lee’s performance in the film.

This theatrical release is part of the Scream Greats series. This is a collaboration between Paramount Scares and Fangoria to bring audiences some of the best classic horror films. So far, they are doing a fantastic job.

That’s all the information we have at this time. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.
