One Buffy The Vampire Slayer Death Was Especially Miserable To Film

One Buffy The Vampire Slayer Death Was Especially Miserable To Film When you think about the tail end of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer"season 6, what comes to mind? If you’re anything like me, it might take a minute for it to come back to you, because the series' most controversial ending is in some ways better off forgotten. The exceedingly dark season enters its home stretch with"Seeing Red,“a gutting episode that sees Willow’s (Alyson Hannigan) girlfriend, all-around sweetie Tara (Amber Benson), killed by violent misogynist Warren’s (Adam Busch) stray bullet....

Pinheads And Candymen: All Clive Barker Movies Ranked

Pinheads And Candymen: All Clive Barker Movies Ranked Last week was the 25th anniversary ofCandyman, and one horrendous physical effect aside, it still holds up beautifully today. Key among its strengths is a trait shared through almost all of the fiction written by horror authorClive Barkerand the films that bring his work to the screen – a wicked, dark, and endless imagination. From the earliest of his features in 1985 to the latest in 2009, they’ve run the gamut from instantly forgettable to instant classic, and while the stories are varied, that common thread between them remains....

Roar Was A Chance To Finally Get Closure Following GLOW's Cancellation

Roar Was A Chance To Finally Get Closure Following GLOW’s Cancellation I remember where I was on June 24, 2025 when Netflix announced that it was canceling its wrestling dramedy “GLOW,” after previously announcing its renewal.

See How A Shot From 'Incredibles 2' Evolves From Storyboard To Final Animation

See How A Shot From ‘Incredibles 2’ Evolves From Storyboard To Final Animation Making an animated film is remarkably different than shooting a live-action movie. Everything is created from scratch, and the process is a much longer, arduous one. Sure, some live-action movies can take awhile to develop and get off the ground, but the amount of production time for an animated movie takes years. Incredibles 2has been in the works for 14 years, and the production timetable got pushed up when the original 2019 release date was swapped with the 2018 release of the delayedToy Story 4....
