The Walking Dead

Being a huge fan of Robert Kirkman’s comic series I always knew there was a great story in The Walking Dead that would translate well to the small (or big) screen. Even with the first season being slightly disappointing (IMO), it was still everything us horror fans have been dying to see, which is why it’s not all that shocking that it continues to break records…

Variety reports that AMC broke records with the second-season premiere of zombie drama on Sunday evening with 4.8 million viewers in adults 18-49 and 4.2 million in the 25-54 demo — more than any other basic cable drama on record. In the 18-49 category, it was television’s No. 1 series for the night, according to Nielsen.

The show logged 7.3 million total viewers for the 9 p.m. airing, drawing a cume of 11 million viewers if you count its two quickie repeats that aired at 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

There’s nothing that makes me smile more than horror fans uniting to prove to the executive that we’ll show up for quality content! (The timing is perfect as Universal’s terrible, CGI-heavy The Thing flopped.)

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
