Earlier this month, we shared the news that Anchor Bay Entertainment – which used to be a major player in the horror world back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, when they gave DVD releases to films like the Evil Dead trilogy, George A. Romero’s Dead trilogy, the Sleepaway Camp franchise, The Hills Have Eyes, The Car, Maniac, Prom Night, some of the Hellraisers, Halloweens, and much more – is being revived, with their first two releases puppet horror film Abruptio and Dinner with Leatherface, a documentary that looks at the life, career, and legacy of original Leatherface actor Gunnar Hansen. Now we’ve learned that the new Anchor Bay has acquired the North American rights to the horror/comedy Crust, with the plan being to release it sometime later this year.

We learned last week that iconic label Anchor Bay Entertainment is coming back to life here in 2024, and founders Thomas Zambeck and Brian Katz have announced this morning that they have acquired the North American rights to the horror/comedy Crust, which will have its release later this year.
Directed by Sean Whalen (The People Under The Stairs), who co-wrote the film with Jim Wald, Crust stars Whalen, Daniel Roebuck (Rob Zombie’s The Munsters), Rebekah Kennedy (Two Witches), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and Ricky Dean Logan (Back to the Future II), with Shawntay Dalon (“Detroiters”) and Alan Ruck (“Succession”).
“As someone who grew up watching Sean on screen, I am thrilled to be in business with him,” says Zambeck. “The fact that it’s on a witty and clever film like this – one that displays such a mastery of tone – makes it so much sweeter. I can’t wait...

Sometimes, life socks. Known to horror fans for his role in Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs, Sean Whalen is back with a brand new horror-comedy titled Crust.
Whalen directed and stars in Crust, which centers on a sock monster. In the black & white film, “A has-been child actor and owner of a dingy laundromat becomes powerfully vengeful when his collection of lone socks transforms into a murderous monster named Crust.”
Here’s the full official plot synopsis…
Vegas Winters, a depressed washed up child actor, fled Tinseltown and now owns and lives in a rundown laundromat. He finds lost socks in the machines and uses them to soak up all his bodily fluids.

Meanwhile he has a new girlfriend, a paranormal investigator poking around, and...

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers.
My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 2
“He…ro…Kill…all. Go…wild.”
My Hero Academia has explored villains of all shapes and sizes, but the Nomu are a chilling threat that have been around as early as the first season. All Might’s fight against a High-End Nomu is even one of the Symbol of Peace’s first truly triumphant acts in the anime. My Hero Academia has progressively expanded upon the Nomu concept in horrifying detail as Dr. Garaki plays God to create perfect warriors and trigger transformations.
Curiously, Deku and the rest of the young heroes in the series have felt their own kinds of ambivalence and that they’re just pawns in a much bigger game. Admittedly, they don’t have a mad scientist who’s genetically altering them, but they can feel like there’s still a puppet master above them who calls the shots.
