Today we've found out that The Evil Dead has recieved a 10-episode straight-to-series order from Starz with a 2015 premiere! The series will be titled Ash Vs. Evil Dead and it will reunite Raimi with superstar Bruce Campbell.

Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Tarzan) is the name they mention as the actress that would be taking on the role of Joker's right hand and fan favorite Bat-villain.
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #1 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
When I was 8 or 9 I remember having a nightmare, a bad nightmare. I was being chased by this little red demon thing. He would chase me around my house and then he caught me. That was when I woke up, the first time. You see, I woke up several times in this nightmare. Each time I was sure that I was awake and then that little red demon would pop out again. I believe I woke up three times in the nightmare before I actually was awake. I still remember this nightmare clearly today. I can still picture that little red demon, I still remember the feeling of waking up multiple times, and I remember the fear. Nightmares are something that everyone can relate to. Our minds can do some crazy things even when we're awake. What our minds can do in our dreams and nightmares can be really freaky stuff. Anybody who has ever had a nightmare should be freaked out by this movie.
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #2 Alien
Alien is terrifying. Straight up horrifying. Alien excels at creating tension, fear, and everything in between. From the first moment that the chest burster pops through the chest of its unsuspecting victim, Alien succeeds where most horror movies have fallen: creating an enemy that it all powerful. We are terrified because the Xenomorph feels unbeatable and inescapable, especially for the main character Ripley. Try as she might, there is no escaping this menacing creature.

Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #4 Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Dawn of the Dead starts off like most every other zombie movie: some sort of virus is turning people into flesh crazed maniacs and a small band of people must survive. Sounds like the average zombie movie, right? But Dawn of the Dead isn’t just a movie about zombies. It’s a movie about people and the choices that they make. Where so many other zombie movies go wrong by focusing solely on action with the zombies, Dawn of the Dead cares about the characters first and foremost. And because of this, Dawn of the Dead becomes a movie that will be remembered for a long, long time.
The Avengers Line-Up Is Changing Post 'Age of Ultron'
So you've seen the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron right? Pretty dramatic stuff going on and such. It seems like its possible we could lose a few of our favorite Mighty Heroes before its all said and done in the battle against Ultron. If you were thinking this...you MIGHT be right. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige spoke with Buzzfeed about the upcoming Superhero Epic and had this to say about the Avengers roster...
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #5 The Thing
The Thing is not only one of my favorite horror movies but also one of my favorite movies of any genre. This movie focuses on a team of scientists who are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills. This is one of the first horror movies that I remember watching and is a must-watch every time I come across it on TV.
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #6 28 Days Later
28 Days Later - A Time No One Wants To Be Apart Of.
With Warm Bodies, Zombieland and of course The Walking Dead, we are in the time of zombies. The Zombie genre is absolutely fascinating for me. I am going to go all the way back and claim that Frankenstein being one of the first greats. There has been some amazing zombie flicks over the decades. Movies like Re-Animator, Resident Evil, and Dead Alive are some greats, but Romero holds the crown with 1968’s “Night of the Living Dead” which in my humble opinion is a pure Classic.
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #7 Jaws
When I sat down to think of what films would be on my list, I was surprised how many of them were movies I saw when I was just a kid or young teenager. Were my parents irresponsible for letting such an "impressionable" youth see such violent and horrifying materials? NOPE! First, I probably snuck away to see them, watching them when they weren't home or when I was away for a sleepover or something. Secondly, my parents taught me at very young age what was right and what was wrong, and that there are consequences for our actions. So I was saved from becoming some psychotic axe murderer or something. Still these movies did scare me at a young age, but so did Michael Jackson's video for Thriller. Anyways, let me get down from my soapbox and begin my review for our #7 film, Jaws...
Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #8 The Shining
Stanley Kubrick is known as one of the greatest cinematographers ever. Next to “A Clockwork Orange” and “2001 A Space Odyssey” sits “The Shining. I remember watching this when I was a kid and getting very bored. I couldn’t quite figure out why Danny’s finger talked to him, but when I re-watched it later in life I started to understand how incredibly creepy this movie is. Creepy in regards to both story and setting.

Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: The Bubble List
This month celebrates one of my favorite holidays...Halloween! I have always loved this time of year. Not just the fall weather (if you live in an area to actually have a fall season) and not just because football is in full swing, but because I love everything about Halloween. Decorations on houses, horror movies all over cable television and being released into theaters, cute kids dressed up as superheroes and cartoon characters, what's not to love? So in the spirit of the season, we've chosen to do an all month long theme of Halloween for the podcast and the site.
