‘Planet Earth II’ Featured One of the Most Intense Moments I’ve Ever Seen in Any Genre

The BBC nature documentary Planet Earth II isn’t where I would expect to find one of the most tense and thrilling chase scenes I’ve ever witnessed but goddamn did it deliver just that. Forget Mad Max: Fury Road. Forget The Hitcher. Everyone, I want you to watch what happens when a lizard wanders into the wrong part of nature and finds itself face-to-face with a metric fuckton of snakes, all of whom are interested in devouring this creature.

I’m not joking when I say that I watched the 2-minute plus clip and found myself holding my breath. We often see cat-and-mouse situations in horror films but seeing it in real life, where a life really is on the line, made it all the more real and intense.

Planet Earth II is a six-episode documentary that is airing on the BBC. However, we in America won’t get to see it until it makes its debut on January 28th, so you might as well just sit back and enjoy three major holidays before we can hear David Attenborough’s soothing and wise voice.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
