‘Joker vs Pennywise’ Check Out Fan Made Teaser Trailer – iHorror

Published

on

The Joker vs Pennywise? A battle between the two most dangerous, murderous, and evil clowns in all fictional existence?

The world would not be able to handle it. No, I’m dead serious! If it ever came down to that we would all be doomed. As it is the planet can barely handle either of the two maniac clowns who both share an equal taste for blood.

Their methods and approach to issues are both completely different from one another. One uses the fragility of each person’s sanity as a weapon against the human soul. He – better than anyone – knows that sanity is nothing more than a flimsy sheet of ice. All it takes is one tiny crack – no wider than a hair’s breadth – and then another, then a few dozen more! All of a sudden the safe little world of rules and order that once protected us comes crashing down and a heartless and cold plunge deep into the dark abyss awaits underfoot. If we don’t drown in madness we rise up again, but to his twisted level. He greets us with a smile and soul-searing laughter.

Pennywise seemingly holds more in common with Dr. Crane’s Scarecrow than he does with the Clown Prince of Crime. His war against the soul is rooted in the oldest emotion known to mankind – absolute fear. He has mastered the art of terror and springs it upon his victims like a wound-up Jack-in-the-box. He is the monster in the closet, under the bed, or behind your mind’s eye. He will manipulate the paranoia that followed you like ill-rested phantoms into your adult hood.

In all likely hood IT quite possibly could exist in the subterranean dark of Gotham City. From its very genesis – from the laying of the first brick and the placement of the initial corner stone – Gotham has been a place of violent shadows and a dwelling of malice. It would not be so farfetched to imagine there was a primordial Evil feeding off the city, as well as poisoning the citizens with its defiling presence, causing them to commit unspeakable cruelties.

It’s not so farfetched of an idea in the least really. After all, demons have seeped out of the ether of other dimensions before, bringing with them hellish consequences that test the merits of DC’s superheroes. This year’s METAL is proving to be one of the darkest and most page-turning stories I’ve read in a long time.

So it’s easy to imagine Pennywise being at the root of Gotham’s corruption and pain, adding his darkness to its atmosphere. What other city relies on a knight who dresses like a bat to protect its inhabitants? Bats – though loved and adored by others like me – have universally been viewed as depictions of evil and looked upon with disdain.

But the Dark Knight of Gotham chose the Bat to be his standard. And to all the families he protects, the Bat  – a historical emblem of malice – is a sign of security. When you break it down, maybe something like Pennywise is influencing Gotham.

It’s fun speculation, and it’s full of what ifs. What if there really is something evil and very old dwelling at the heart of Gotham? I’m sure Joker would be drawn to that kind of power, it would be magnetic to his mind. And what if the two evil clowns were to fight?

Mightyraccoon! over at YouTube has put together a fun little teaser trailer that hints at the ‘what if’ conundrum. What if there was a Joker vs Pennywise? Who would win? It certainly is an opening to lots of fan-fic possibilities.

So please enjoy the trailer and in the comments below let us know what you think would happen.

IT is playing in theaters right now, so be sure to check for showtimes at a cinema near you. And don’t forget to check out DC to stay current with all the dark delights happening in the comic universe.

This has been your pal Manic Exorcism signing off and wishing you all a very fangtastic day!

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.
