Video game adaptations have been a popular genre in Hollywood for years, offering captivating stories with built-in fan bases. While they can be well-received, achieving success with these adaptations can be challenging. Despite this, recent hits like Pedro Pascal’s The Last of Us and Jonathan Nolan’s Fallout, starring Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins, have garnered praise. However, these are just the recent examples of the acclaimed adaptations in the genre.

Retro Plus Games has a little something for those Konami fans longing for a proper return to Castlevania. The group will be launching a Kickstarter today for their 6-player board game inspired by Konami’s classic with Dracula’s Curse.
Touted as a labour of love by Retro Plus Games’ John Muennink, Dracula’s Curse puts players on a mission to slay Dracula. In order to do so, you’ll have to brave the ominous halls of Dracula’s castle and navigate its corridors, face unspeakable horrors, and confront the dark lord himself. Adding a twist to it all is that one player will take up the mantle of Dracula, who gains that abilities to manipulate the castle’s dungeon and using strategies to thwart the other players.
As Dracula, you must construct rooms, set traps, harness the souls of defeated monsters, and evolve your abilities by stacking tokens. Meanwhile, the other...

Netflix’s Castlevania series has proven to be one of the streaming service’s most consistent surprises. Bursting onto the scene with relatively few (or perhaps just low) expectations, the animated series has since gone on to not only capture some of the best elements of the Castlevania games but forge quite the legacy in its own right.
That legacy was recently furthered with the release of Nocturne: the latest chapter in the acclaimed series that shakes a few things up while retaining the show’s high standard of quality. In this case, though, the thing that fascinates me most about Nocturne isn’t how it works so well as its own thing but rather how it pays tribute to the Castlevania games it is largely based on. My greatest hope is that Nocturne may even revive interest in the most underrated Castlevania game: Rondo of Blood.

What do you get when you cross bio-engineering, strippers, deadly fish, gold-flake cinnamon drank, and lovable losers? You get awesome, is what you get. This particular serving of awesome is called 'Piranha Sharks', and it comes to you from the mind of one Leigh Scott. Sigh. Yes, 'Transmorphers' Leigh Scott. No, this is not 'Transmorphers'. Relax.
Piranha Sharks are bio-engineered creatures, that are repackaged, and targeted towards kids, as the year's hot new Christmas item. However, when the animals make their way into the New York water system, it falls on Jackson (Collin Galyean), and his pest-killing buddies (John Wells, and Josh Hammond) to get rid of them, before they destroy the city.
The writing works first, to set this film apart. It takes a shot at many of the cheesy indie cliches, with hilarious class, and accuracy.

I recently posted a great piece of art that featured a little kid blowing into an original Nintendo Entertainment System game cartridge. It got me thinking about all the games I used to play back in the day, and I started looking up some old stuff to reminisce on those good old days. As I was skimming through some stuff, a lot of video game cartridge images were popping up and I noticed there was some really cool art that was created for some of these games. One of the other things I noticed is that the bad art outweighed the good, so I thought I'd pluck out a few of the coolest Nes game cartridge illustrations that I came across and do a little post for them. Castlevania sure seemed to know what they were doing when it came to the art as the first three games top the list.

Eliza Swenson is my latest super crush! I just put that on out there didn't I. She is a force to be reckoned with for sure! She not only acts but she also writes, edits, produces and even composes her own music! She's been involved in some fan favorite films like Dracula's Curse, Frankenstein Reborn and Supercroc and she has some highly anticipated projects coming our way soon which include Legend of the Red Reaper and The Witches of Oz. Check out my latest "Versus" with the very beautiful and super cool Eliza Swenson.

Last month we got a first look at the trailer for Bullet Films' adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror starring Jeffrey Combs. Now we've got the trailers for three more Bullet Films productions featuring werewolves, vampires, the potential end of the world, and rednecks battling robots.
The one you might be most interested in is Wolvesbayne, which I first told you about back in July. Jeremy London ("Party of Five") stars as a newly transformed werewolf recruited by a team of vampire hunters to stop a Nazi vampire cult led Yancy Butler ("Witchblade") and Marc Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf).
Wolfsbayne was directed by Griff Furst (I Am Omega, 100 Million BC) from a script by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers, Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse). Dig the trailer below:
