After the American Horror Story: Apocalypse teaser we learned that season 8 was going to be dealing with the horrors of radiation and the Antichrist. The trailer shows that as rumored, there will be a lot of crossing between the Murder House and Coven story lines. So far I like a lot of the scenery and the plot seems fitting for the show ( I was afraid they’d try Mad Max style apocalypse). In the end, I’m anticipating a good season. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Captain Marvel suit revealed
A while ago I reacted to the first images of Captain Marvel’s costume for the upcoming movie with a bit of unease. As time went on it grew on me a bit but I hoped to see her in the iconic red, blue, and gold. Today I got to see some of the first images and they are freaking awesome! Once again, Marvel made a wise design choice going to the big screen; she looks badass and pretty much like she just walked off of the page.
Captain Marvel is going to be a huge addition to the MCU and while I’m not hugely versed in her stories, I do know she’s a hell of a force to be reckoned with. I can’t wait to see the Skrull designs next. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Halloween trailer 2
Summer is gone for 2018 folks, not the heat exactly, but the season is gone. And soon it’ll be time for tricks and treats galore- and the return of a beloved holiday buddy, Michael Myers. I was in love with Halloween 2018 first trailer and damn if the warm fuzzies didn’t carry over to the new trailer. I’m thrilled to see Michael stalking the streets again and I love the gritty take on a angry, vengeful Laurie Strode. the boogeyman is back after 40 years, and he finally came home.
Await further instructions trailer
Isn’t Christmas time magical? Well, this trailer looks like a tense meet and greet during the holidays turns into Saw on acid it seems. With all this heat and mugginess, a little Christmas horror is welcome so during the holiday it can be a cool watch. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Suspiria remake trailer 2
A few days ago we got a new trailer for Suspiria 2018. Suspiria 2018 trailer 1 told me right off the bat we were getting a much different kind of take on it. Seeing this more in depth trailer, I almost get a Kubrick- Shining/ Insidious vibe from it. The original always made me think of a children’s storybook because of the vibrant colors; 2018’s seems dulled down a lot by comparison. Still, the trailer enticed me and I’ve got faith it will be good on it’s own merit. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Sonic Live Action Movie
For some odd reason I will never understand, we are getting a live action Sonic movie starring James Marsden and Kim Carrey. Not much is known about the story aside from it will take place in the Green Hills zone when a cop helps Sonic escape from the government. Now I have played plenty of Sonic games and I can’t recall him ever trying to get away from the government or even the cops being involved. While I don’t doubt Carreys ability to play Eggman/Robotnik or any of the actors honestly the entire concept of a live action Sonic movie just seems really, odd. I’m honestly not even sure who came up with this idea or why aside from possibly being a quick cash grab or why this would be thought of as a good idea. What are your thoughts? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Puppet Master: the littlest reich trailer
WTF man, Puppetmaster is back. I was never a huge fan of the franchise but I know many who are. I can say this newest installment looks pretty retro which honestly made me kinda smile. I miss 80’s slasher movies. Anyway, if you’re a fan, what’s your thoughts on the new Puppetmaster? May the gaming gods bring you glory.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse teaser
This maybe a surprise but I’m a pretty big fan of American Horror Story. While not perfect, I love how each season manages to cram in strange and WTF stories and good characters and make them work. So far, I know season 8, Apocalypse, we’re getting mutants and the Antichrist, which was part of the first season. The teaser is cool and I can’t wait to see what we get in 2018. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Venom trailer 3
Holy shit, what a turnaround from that first generic trailer. Seriously, I’m really digging where the direction seems to be going. The effects look way better and we get so much more Venom in all his badassery. I do have an issue though: the villain seems generic as hell but with Venom done right, I think it will pull it off. May the gaming gods bring me off.
SDCC 2018- Torsten’s Summary
SDCC 2018 has been surprisingly epic and as a nerd and blogger I’m truly thankful. At the end of this post I’m leaving all the links to the posts I’ve done regarding trailers from this year’s SDCC. I’m sure I missed stuff and I know there’s plenty to cover so feel free to leave suggestions in the comments and I’ll be happy to look into it. For right now I’d like to take this time and pretty much just talk about stuff that really popped out to me and bring up stuff I wish we got.
Normally, I’d say let’s start with the positives but this time I want to start with the worst thing I’m pretty sure most of us came out of this year’s SDCC, a trailer the internet, fans, and haters alike have banned together to trash and that’s the Titans live action trailer. Fuck Batman? No, fuck you trailer, enough said.
I have to say my favorite thing to come out of SDCC this year was the Glass trailer. I’m genuinely pumped for that movie and I hope Shyamalan makes a comeback. My close second favorite trailer was for Aquaman and thankfully I don’t think I’ll be disappointed come December.
I was surprised by quite a bit by a lot this year. Shazam looks funny as hell and I’m not even a huge fan of the character so that says something. The same can also be said of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it’s hard to not get goosebumps during the trailer. Alita: Battle Angel I feel could be the surprise gem of the bunch while Overlord’s trailer was the hardest hitting surprise for me.
With the exception of Overlord trailer, I’m a little disappointed at the lack of new horror content. I was hoping for a new Halloween 2018 trailer or a new trailer for the Nun. Predator 4 is shaping up to look sweet and though I’m sure it will dominate next year’s Con, I wish we got a little bit more of IT: Chapter 2.
The lack of Disney/ Marvel presence was sorely missed. Seriously, besides a trailer for Iron Fist season 2 and the return of Clone Wars, that was all they brought to the table. No Avengers 4 tease, no Captain Marvell tease, no Daredevil season 3 peek, no Star Wars Episode 9 news. Hell, even the Fox part of Marvel was quiet; I was expecting a Xmen: Dark Phoenix trailer.
In the end, it was a great year. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
