In case you’re oblivious Brewster, (and that’s ok, nobody’s perfect) legendary cinematic horror writer Tom Holland (Child’s Play, Fright Night) announced today via social media that he is returning to Charley and Amy’s universe of vampire shenanigans with a return to the old comic series and new novel- Fright Night 3!
Now, if that doesn’t get your retro fuzzies tingling by Jove…
The comic series published by NOW Comics spun off from the original 1985 film and had a respectable run beginning in October of 1988 all the way through the Summer of 1990. The series consisted of 22 issues total with a bonus of five very special issues along the way.
In the comment section, Holland tells fans he’s writing Fright Night 3 as a novel, which is just as exciting as the comic announcement itself! For those of you who still have your comics tucked away in your closet or in your mom’s attic somewhere; dust them off damn you and get ready for another round of these truly goreious horror treasures from Holland’s world of horror!
Ahhhh… Those sweet, sweet smells of plastic glory and nostalgia are coming back for another round of Netflix binge-worthy programming. The Toys That Made Us is officially confirmed for a second season!
My heart is so happy.
Making its debut last December on the streaming giant, the short four-episode series that featured childhood relics’ such as G.I. JOE, Star Wars, Barbie, and He-Man/ Masters of the Universe was a Christmas gift beyond expectations for us retro toy geeks. The educational trip down memory lane was glorious indeed, it left people like yours truly over here, drooling for further episodes. While we still have the second-half of season one on the way featuring stories behind LEGO, Transformers, Hello Kitty and Star Trek, (coming within the next few months) the thought of another ringing of the Liberty Bell of Nostalgia with our favorite pieces of plastic playthings, just gives me all the fuzzies. And, thanks to an interview with Den of Geek, brainchild of the series Brian Volk-Weiss speaks on what HE wants to focus on for the anticipated second season.
*Mind you, these aren’t confirmed but if that’s the man in charge, I’d expect to see at least one, or all of these in upcoming episodes!
No release date has been announced as of now, but I’ll only assume another slot around Christmas 2018, might be a good guess. In the meantime, can we get a Rainbow Brite episode, please?
Daniel is showing Johnny no mercy with a load of trash talk in new Karate Kid series, Cobra Kai. I guess some rivalries never really get squared away!
Recently, Youtube Red released a full-length trailer for the upcoming 10-episode series Cobra Kai. Which continues the story from the original 1984 Karate Kid film 34 years later starring the loveable Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and former Cobra Kai douchebag Johnny (William Zabka). As we’re all aware, time changes people, and from the looks of the trailer, it seems that we have a clear situation of role-reversal here setting the stage for what may be, the All Valley Karate Tournament rematch we’ve all been waiting for!
If you recall from the original film, Johnny was told to sweep the leg. Now sure, Johnny was a total dick throughout the whole movie. However, he clearly expressed hesitation in further harming Daniel, especially with an illegal move.
But hey, a kick to the face is totally acceptable, right? In the film, the rules in the tournament state, “Everything above your waist is a point. You can hit the head, sternum, kidneys, ribs.” Ok, cool. But, if this were based on a real match, Daniel would have been disqualified himself for such a hard blow to Johnny’s mug. Not trying to start some shit here. Just stating science facts.
Anyway, back to the series. The trailer opens with the kick heard around the world back in 1984. We then fast forward 34 years later (geez that makes me feel old) to a presumably down and out Johnny walking into a car dealership owned by none other than his former high-school punching bag, Daniel Larusso. And to be quite honest, Daniel is pretty much a total dick to him. Maybe he deserves a little ragging, maybe not. That’s not for to decide. Either way, it’s pretty hilarious in any regard. However, it’s clear without Mr. Miyagi around anymore, Daniel is struggling to find his balance in life.
Johnny, who is seeking some sort of redemption, reopens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo and mentors a bullied teen named Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), in pure Karate Kid formula.
Cobra Kai crane kicks onto Youtube Red May 2, 2018. Will you be watching this old rivalry come full circle? As long as there’s more trash talk, I’m all in!
