Game of Thrones undeniably stands as one of the most influential shows in television history, leaving a lasting impact across various mediums. More than four years after its conclusion, the series remains a significant topic of discussion, though not always for the best reasons. Interestingly enough, one massive mistake by George Lucas might have made Star Wars just like Game of Thrones.
A scene from Game of Thrones
The success of Game of Thrones was rooted in its ability to craft a compelling narrative alongside exceptional world-building, providing fans with something to anticipate for over eight years. Regrettably, the series concluded in a manner widely deemed as one of the worst endings to a show, particularly the final episode of Season 8. This ending significantly impacted the overall excitement and reception the series had garnered, marking a disappointing conclusion for many fans.

Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights event will be returning to the Universal Orlando Resort on September 1st, and the festivities will begin at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 7th. A couple months ago, we heard that haunted houses based on The Last of Us will be added to both theme parks this year, and soon after it was revealed that a haunted house inspired by season 4 of Stranger Things will also be in the mix. Now Universal has announced several more attractions that will be part of this year’s Halloween Horror Nights – including haunted houses inspired by the killer doll Chucky, the Universal Monsters, and the new Exorcist sequel The Exorcist: Believer, which is set to reach theatres on October 13th!
Here’s a bit more information on each of the new haunted houses, as reported by Fangoria.

The slasher and the actioner seem like two disparate types of movies, however, both often feature a high degree of suspense, lengthy chases, and a lot of death. A slasher villain will hunt down hapless victims, whereas an action hero may go after one enemy or a whole group of them. Grisly kills and an assortment of weapons are also to be expected.
Now, there are some action movies that infuse more slasher elements than others. Classics like The Terminator and Predator are unmistakably modeled after slashers, but they’re not the only ones. Others take on the traits of slashers more than their peers, ultimately creating a more unique viewing experience.
The following ten lesser seen movies give action and slasher fans the best of both worlds.
Silent Rage (1982)

If HBO has its way, pretty soon the average TV-watcher is going to know more about the Targaryen dynasty than their own respective country’s history.
According to an exclusive report from Variety, HBO and parent company Warner Bros. Discovery are actively discussing a second Game of Thrones prequel that would follow King Aegon I Targaryen a.k.a. Aegon the Conqueror as he invades and ultimately unifies the continent of Westeros roughly 300 years ago in the franchise’s timeline. Though no writers are yet attached to the project, HBO is also considering a “feature” component for the series and might attempt to produce a feature film that would lead in to the eventual series.
The backstory of Aegon’s Conquest has been well established in both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon but for those who require a Targaryen history refresher, allow us to help. A little...

Even before Game of Thrones ended, HBO was already exploring options to keep the franchise going. Several potential Game of Thrones spinoffs were in development before House of the Dragon finally moved ahead, but that hasn’t stopped the studio from discussing other projects. Variety has reported that HBO is “actively” discussing a new Game of Thrones prequel about Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros.
Sources told Variety that the Aegon prequel is still in the very stages and that no writer is attached at the moment. Another source has claimed that the project may involve a feature film, meaning that we could get a movie that would lead into the events of the series. Taking place three hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones (and one hundred years before House of the Dragon), the potential prequel would tell the story of how “Aegon and his sister-wives,...

There have been many great shows, and for some of the lucky few, an even better spinoff has emerged.
From shows like NCIS, Better Call Saul, and more recently, House of the Dragon, audiences have truly been spoilt.
But just because the original show was a success, it doesn't always mean the spinoff will be a success.
Heck, in some cases, the spinoff series doesn't even make it to air.
Below are five examples of some planned spinoff shows that unfortunately never made it onto the small screen, with reasons provided as to why that never happened.
Revenge
When the original four-season run of Revenge ended in 2015, the nature of the final episode instantly led to rumours that the show could return. Could Nolan continue to help those seeking vengeance? Would Charlotte progress further down the dark path the show has hinted at?

For fans of 80s action cinema, No Retreat No Surrender holds a special place. We've been speaking to the man behind the series...
If you were a kid in the 1980s and you liked action movies, chances are you rented No Retreat No Surrender at some point. It was like a more violent, high-octane take on The Karate Kid, with all-American teen Jason (Kurt McKinney) getting martial arts tutelage from no less than The Ghost Of Bruce Lee so he could kick the ass of a muscly Russian (Jean-Claude Van Damme in his first major role). As a kid, this movie was everything to me. It was a 15 cert so a little bit edgy, but still simple and wholesome enough for young me to totally ‘get it’. I had tears streaming down my face the first time I watched it, I was so invested in the final fight.

Fact: I will watch anything starring Gary Daniels. And I do mean anything. My DVD collection is littered with the guy’s greatest offerings and his worst. For crying out loud — I own “Bloodmoon” and “City of Fear.” Don’t you talk to me about devotion! As you can tell, anytime the guy puts together a new motion picture I tend to get a little excited. It’s like Christmas, except Gary Daniels slides down the chimney and spin kicks me in the grill. Enter director Ara Paiaya’s upcoming action thriller “Skin Traffik,” a flick that brings Daniels together with a number of direct-to-video veterans and former Hollywood A-listers. Included in this hefty cast are Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Michael Madsen, Jeff Fahey, Dominique Swain, and Daryl Hannah. Daryl freaking Hannah! How can you possibly lose?

You remember the awesome "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" trailer that popped up last year, right? The live-action short film, that we later learned was a grassroots bid from "Fame" remake director Kevin Tancheroen, was immediately latched onto by fans for doing something the previous "Mk" movies couldn't: look and feel as gritty and effed up as the games. "Rebirth" was recently confirmed for a web series treatment and today Warner Bros. announced the initial casting for the coming Tancheroen-directed shorts.
The WB press release confirms that Jeri Ryan and Michael Jai White will be reprising their roles from Tancheroen's initial short, Lieutenant Sonya Blade and Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs, respectively. "Star Trek" fans certainly remember Ryan as the hottie Borg, Seven of Nine, on the "Voyager" TV series. White you've probably seen plenty of, most recently as the gangster Gambol in "The Dark Knight" or as the titular ass-kicker in Blaxploitation parody "Black Dynamite.
