Carole Ann Boone is depicted in Netflix’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, but what happened to Ted Bundy’s ex-wife and daughter after his execution (and after the events of the movie)? Kaya Scodelario portrays Carole Ann Boone - who was Ted Bundy’s staunchest supporter when he was on trial and even married the serial killer (on the spot, in the courtroom) during his Florida trial in 1979 - in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile....

Facebook has announced that it is banning white nationalism from its platform following consultation with academics and others, concluding that it is no longer possible to distinguish it from white supremacy … The company said that it is taking a stand against hate. Facebook said the decision had been difficult because it allows people to express pride in their ethnic heritage, but its own analysis had shown a clear overlap between ‘white nationalism and white separatism and white supremacy....

We already knew that Apple is pushing hard to have the European Telecommunications Standards Institute select its nano-SIM card design over competitors like Nokia and Motorola, who proposed their own alternative design with RIM. While it was rumored that Apple had support from the majority of European operators, the ETSI confirmed today that it has selected a form factor for the new 4FF SIM Card: The announcement from the ESTI does not flat-out confirm Apple’s design was chosen, but we are able to confirm that the new form factor does match up nicely with measurements of Apple’s proposed design thanks to a little bit of investigative work courtesy of The Verge....

An agreement has finally been reached on the scope of planned European antitrust legislation. It was previously unclear whether or not Apple would be included in the companies targeted, but it has now been confirmed that the definition will be broad enough to include the iPhone maker. There had been significant disagreements about the appropriate targets for the EU’s planned Digital Markets Act (DMA). Some wanted it to be laser-focused on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, while others wanted it to target the very largest tech companies …...

Before Godzilla and Gamera, there was King Kong. The world’s favorite giant, rampaging ape hit the big screen in 1933 after being dreamed up by movie producer Merian C. Cooper. Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, King Kong is the inspiration for numerous films, video games, and even amusement park rides. Sometimes characterized as a misunderstood antihero and other times as a brutal beast, King Kong represents humanity’s tense relationship with the natural world and its unknown marvels....

Sam Raimi wants to direct another Evil Dead movie starring Bruce Campbell. Raimi started the Evil Dead franchise back in 1981 with The Evil Dead and followed up the cult classic with two sequels: Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. Raimi also produced the 2013 Evil Dead reboot and co-created the Starz original series Ash vs. Evil Dead. The Evil Dead franchise has remained relevant since the 80s, even with fans seeing mass amounts of horror movies since then....

The situation may be dire, but Marvel’s New Mutants #4 cannot resist taking time to poke a little fun at Boom-Boom -and her many identities - while she starts poking into Armor’s absence from Krakoa. In the wake of the last issue’s uninvited (and extremely dangerous) guests, Beak and Angel – not to mention their darling children and original rescue party – are in serious need of a helping hand. Boom-Boom could be just the gal for the job… but she might need to check her name tag first....

Valiant Entertainment has finally announced a new series relaunch for the popular character Shadowman. Written by Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and drawn by Jon Davis-Hunt (The Wild Storm), the new horror comic will focus on the Valiant hero of the same name, as he returns to continue protecting reality from the horrors and monsters of the Deadside. Shadowman first appeared in the pages of Valiant Comics as Jack Boniface in X-O Manowar #4 and in his own solo series in Shadowman #1 - both published in 1992....

Horror classic The Exorcist received nearly identical prequels, released a year apart, and the reason behind that happening is rather complex. 1973’s The Exorcist is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated horror films ever, earning ten Oscar nominations, and winning two. The Exorcist also became the first horror film to receive a Best Picture nomination, starting what is today still an extremely small club. The harrowing tale of teenage Regan MacNeil’s possession by a foul-mouthed demon, The Exorcist sits at a level most horror films could never hope to reach....

What can’t be denied is that Instagram for Android has received quite a response among Android users. Reports say that the app has been downloaded over 1 million times in the first 12 hours it was available. I don’t know if that’s what made Facebook want to buy it, it’s confirmed information. Mark Zuckerberg himself has posted the information on his Facebook profile, and the Instagram blog has also posted it, so it doesn’t get more official than this....

Facebook published today two articles about how to create a safer experience for young people on Instagram as well as how the company verifies whether someone is the appropriate age required to be on its platforms. Over the past months, some organizations have criticized Facebook for trying to create an Instagram for kids. In a letter to Mark Zuckerberg in April, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, an international coalition of 35 children’s and consumer groups, wrote that “a children’s version of Instagram (....

The PlayStation 4 is dominating the video game console market, with Sony recently announcing that more than 40 million units have been sold worldwide since its initial release in 2013. And what makes that kind of commercial success even more stunning is that it’s been achieved without a true wealth of ‘killer apps’ or system-exclusive games. The Order: 1886 was a disappointment, and even though Until Dawn and Ratchet and Clank were critically praised, Sony’s lack of a successful marketing campaign arguably allowed sales to fall short of potential....

In Marvel Comics, the Runaways roster had a few core members with other teens coming and going from the group in new volumes of the story. With only three seasons of the Hulu live-action television series, it doesn’t seem like fans will get to see additions to the group of super-powered teens. The main cast of Runaways features six teens, though there were a few more additions over the course of the series....

A high school performance of the sci-fi horror movie Alien has been now released online in its entirely. The stage adaptation gained notoriety last month after news of the play went viral, the production gaining praise from a number of celebrities including Josh Gad and Patton Oswalt. 2019 marks forty years since Alien’s initial release, and in that time it has never left public consciousness. The wider universe hinted at by the film’s simple story has subsequently been expanded into a number of properties throughout various mediums, but the lure of the original, with its straightforward yet powerful evocation of primal fears, has allowed it to maintain a firm hold in the imaginations of its audience....

The European Union shared a Statement of Objections earlier today in which it criticizes how Apple restricts the NFC technology on the iPhone to its own payments platform. Now a report from Bloomberg reveals that PayPal was one of the companies that supported the EU’s antitrust complaints against Apple Pay. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the report claims that PayPal helped “spur a formal antitrust complaint” against Apple and Apple Pay with the European Commission....

The Fast and the Furious series will confuse the heck out you if you watched the first film and then skipped to the last one – it hardly makes sense. The story has gone from low-level criminals to the characters now saving the world a bunch of times. While the premise is ridiculous (although it is undeniably fun), another thing hard to understand about the series is the timeline. Fans noted how the death of one particular character went ignored in sequels that followed, and The Fast and the Furious took further liberties by bringing in some other supposed plot holes into the mix with its chronology....

Surprisingly enough, A Nightmare on Elm Street villain Freddy Krueger has made several appearances in the animated world of The Simpsons. Freddy, played by Robert Englund in eight Elm Street films, is one of horror’s biggest icons, to the point that many fans still hope that the now 72-year-old Englund will once again reprise the role for one last sequel. With or without Englund though, the estate of late Nightmare on Elm Street creator Wes Craven is known to be taking pitches for a new entry into the storied franchise....

Director Kevin Smith has several new movies in development. In October 2019, the famous indie filmmaker released his first feature in three years, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, the seventh installment of the so-called View Askewniverse, but it’s certainly not going to be his last project. Over the years, Smith has gone from directing movies to multiple TV shows, including The Flash, Supergirl, and The Goldbergs. But Smith is best known for his first five movies, all of which take place in the View Askewniverse, and feature Smith himself as the character Silent Bob....

The world of X-Men has given mutants everywhere a fresh start on the island of Krakoa, but what about those soldiers and villains who can’t stand to stay out of the action… but aren’t exactly ‘heroes,’ either? The answer is the new team called Hellions, a home for mutants who don’t quite fit the new mutant paradise. With the former supervillain Mr. Sinister leading this strike team, fans can expect twists and turns to come when Hellions begins....
