Final “Dexter” Book Could (Ironically) End His Life!
Before Michael C. Hall became the visual representation of Dexter Morgan on the Showtime series “Dexter,” the character came to life in Jeff Lindsay’s book series of the same name.
And while Dexter lives on in the Showtime series, a final book is set to put the nail in his coffin.
Now on shelves is Dexter Is Dead,” the last installment that “sees Dexter arrested for murder—ironically, one he didn’t commit—after losing his wife, his kids and his sister’s loyalty. His last chance at freedom is in his brother’s hands: And Brian has a dark, high-stakes plan to prove Dexter’s innocence.” (EW)
Adds the site: Lindsay’s publisher, Knopf Doubleday, invites fans to post their own eulogies for Dexter on the author’s Facebook page.
Could Showtime bring the series back for one final season built around the creator/author’s vision for Dexter’s demise?!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
