Halloween may still be nine months away, but what’s wrong with having some quality monster time a little early? “Hotel Transylvania” is officially available to own and not only do we have a copy of the Blu-ray to give away, but a free game code to access the “Hotel Transylvania” Dash Deluxe app and an assortment of goodies including a monster puzzle, a hanging skeleton and more!

The release of the remake of the horror classic “Carrie” has been rescheduled from March 15 (appropriate, since I think is about the time proms start up) to the October 18 (also appropriate, since Halloween will be just around the corner).

She’s shown right before the pig’s blood scene, standing nice and proud in her prom dress, holding her flowers. The next figurine depicts Carrie right after the blood is poured on her head. Carrie is about  [ Read More ]

Did you enjoy feeling part of the action courtesy of the 3D in Transformers: Dark of the Moon? Wait until you get the chance to ride Transformers: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. The ride celebrated its grand opening just the other day and Shockya had the opportunity to get all of the details from ride representative Trana Pittam. Oddly enough, Universal Studios was actually a chicken farm back in 1912 when Carl Laemmle first started making movies there.

Lately, there’s been a lot of spoiler-searching when a new product image from “The Dark Knight Rises” comes out, but I don’t think there are any spoilers in these new toy products, unless Batman will actually wear a white Batsuit.
