It’s that time of year when popular Christmas movies are marathoned on television. By now, you are either on your millionth viewing or you’re absolutely sick of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, as the Chevy Chase holiday sequel is a renowned classic that is played every year along with movies like Home Alone, Home Alone 2, A Christmas Story and The Santa Clause. The movie is a family-friendlier entry for the Vacation series that brought John Hughes back to combine his famous Griswold tribe with his penchant for holiday films.
According to People, Christmas Con 2023 has recently jingled its way to Edison, New Jersey. This year, Chevy Chase headlined a reunion with his co-stars from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The Clark Griswold actor joined his on-screen wife, Beverly D’Angelo, Cousin Eddie actor Randy Quaid and Miriam Flynn, who portrayed Eddie’s wife in the three Vacation films in which they appeared.

Hallmark Christmas movies remain as cozy as ever, with tree-lighting, cookie-decorating and magical snowfall still the currency of the realm. But since the arrival of Wonya Lucas as the new CEO of Hallmark Media (formerly Crown Media) in 2020, the network’s offerings have branched out in many ways: Lots more diversity, of course — including, this year, Hallmark’s first holiday romance centered on a same-sex relationship and the network’s first film focused on Kwanzaa — but also new and different plots.
The memes show no sign of dying, but the movies themselves don’t always match the traditional roadmap. Two of this year’s new movies didn’t end with a kiss, a change previously unthinkable in Hallmark-land.
How do I know all this? Because I watched all 43 new 2022 Hallmark holiday movies (including the three that premiered in July on Hallmark Channel and the nine that premiered on Hallmark Movies...

"She ran away... Why didn't she take me with her?" Peccadillo Pictures from the UK has revealed a new official UK trailer for an indie film titled Wildhood from Canada, which is already out on VOD in the US.

Netflix have really upped their game this year for Christmas movies, at least in the sheer number of them if not for the quality. That said, I always look forward to seeing the next one and Single All The Way is the latest Hallmark-looking festive rom-com to hit the service.
After yet another failed relationship ends just before the holiday season starts, Peter decides he doesn’t want to face the judgement of his family yet again for being single as he visits them for Christmas. He soon manages to persuade his best friend Nick (obviously had to be that name) to come home with him and pretend they are now in a relationship.

Apple TV Plus released a trailer for “Invasion,” which launches Oct. 22 with it first three episodes.
The new series hails from Simon Kinberg and David Weil and is set across multiple continents as citizens across the globe struggle to deal with the titular event, which at first presents as smaller and more manageable issues.
“My fellow citizens of the world, what I have to say to you is not something I was ever prepared to say. As many of you know by now, we are suffering from inexplicable and seemingly unrelated incidents ranging from power outages to the destruction of infrastructure and homes,” the president says in the trailer, which you can watch below.
But what was once thought of as being individual incidents very quickly are realized to be connected and being caused by something “not of our Earth,” she continues.

But things take an unexpected turn… and the body count quickly rises.
It would seem Warner Bros., through production company Blue Ribbon Content, have taken a leaf out of Universal’s Dtv playbook and commissioned a series of direct to market, low-to-mid budget movies that capitalise on existing franchises.

Unless you really think Danishka Esterhazy’s The Banana Splits Movie is going to mimic the kid-friendly environment of the 1960s Hanna-Barbera series, it won’t come as too much of a shock to learn that these are not the same Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snork of your childhood. No, in their big screen debut and faint rebirth back into the social stream, these four splits’ goal is to simply split you. And with this bloodthirsty reincarnation comes one of the strangest and, not speaking to its quality, welcomed films of the year.
With fans from all boroughs of pop culture demanding neatly packaged nostalgia trips, this picture mangles the memory of a kid’s pop-rock band and turns it into a gruesome pack of furry killing machines. Its premise is bold, radical, and, in terms of branding, everlasting. While the idea of The Banana Splits has been left on...

"Now the show can go on forever... and ever... and ever...!!" The beloved children's show is back... with a vengeance, a horrible, bloody vengeance. What is this! Ha! Syfy has debuted the official trailer for a horror feature titled The Banana Splits Movie, a re-imagining of the classic children's show on TV in the 1970s ("The Banana Splits Adventure Hour") as a horror movie. The plot is about a kid who goes to a taping of the show, only to discover the four furry main characters – Bingo, Fleegle, Drooper and Snorky – are actually killers. Over thirty episodes of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" originally aired between 1968 and 1970, with costumes and sets designed by Sid & Marty Krofft. This new movie stars Dani Kind, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, Steve Lund, Sara Canning, Maria Nash, and Romeo Carere. We don't often feature direct-to-vod films, but can't help it this time! This is so nuts and it actually looks crazy good!

These aren't the Hanna-Barbera characters you remember. Mainly because they never killed anyone. That we know of.
While we sit and twiddle our thumbs waiting for a Five Nights At Freddy's movie, Syfy's Banana Splits Movie will seemingly go some way to keeping us sated for a bit.
Gore is not the first thing you tend to think of when reminiscing about the beloved live-action Hanna-Barbera series, but Fleegle the Beagle, Bingo the Gorilla, Drooper the Lion, and Snorky the Elephant are coming back in a rather more violent capacity to dish out some bloody vengeance in The Banana Splits Movie.
Directed by Danishka Esterhazy (Level 16) and written by Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas, this reimagining of the 'Splits takes them down a dark path, one that they likely never envisioned when they blessed the small screen back in '68 to '70. The original actors to wear the...

Gore is not the first thing you tend to think of when reminiscing about the beloved live-action Hanna-Barbera series, but Fleegle the Beagle, Bingo the Gorilla, Drooper the Lion, and Snorky the Elephant are coming back in a rather more violent capacity to dish out some bloody vengeance in The Banana Splits Movie.
Directed by Danishka Esterhazy (Level 16) and written by Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas, this reimagining of the 'Splits takes them down a dark path, one that they likely never envisioned when they blessed the small screen back in '68 to '70. The original actors to wear the...

An adorable children’s show is getting rebooted in the most unexpected way possible. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and Syfy are teaming up to bring back the characters of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour for a special movie. This one definitely won’t be for the young ones, though. Instead, The Banana Splits film is going to take everything people loved about the program and turn it into a horrifying, bloody movie that’ll give fans of the original countless nightmares.
The trailer for the scary flick dropped today, much to the delight of the Internet, and it starts out innocent enough, as a boy’s family treats him to tickets to the eponymous kids’ show. What should have been a nice birthday treat for the young fan quickly turns into a battle for survival, though.

A revival of the classic Hanna-Barbera costumed characters will have The Banana Splits leaning in to their creepy side.
As a child, I was scared by everything from the Blue Meanies from The Beatles' Yellow Submarine movie to Waylon Flowers' wise-cracking Madame puppet.
Admittedly, I was a weird kid.
But in my defense, growing up in the 1970s and '80s meant that you were bombarded with supposedly lovable characters who were in fact nothing but weaponized nightmare fuel.. Chief among these marketable terrors were the characters featured Hanna-Barbera's variety show/hellscape The Banana Splits.
Airing for two seasons from 1968-70, then repeated in syndication for perpetuity, this series combined the live-action antics of the animal-costumed characters Fleegle, Drooper, Bingo, and Snorky as they had indescrible adventures filmed at amusement parks that were intercut with other segments.

Well, here’s some interesting and weird movie news! the classic 1960s Hanna-Barbera kids program The Banana Splits is going to be making a come back as a film! But, there’s a little twist… it’s going to be a horror movie!
The Banana Splits is a TV series that premiered in 1968. It’s way before my time, and I’m not really familiar with it. But I went to YouTube to watch a few videos for it, and it definitely looks like it could and should be a psycho horror movie! Here’s a little description of it:
A laugh track-laden collection of live-action buffoonery and animated segments for undiscerning young minds. Whether in their crazy clubhouse or out cavorting among the public, costumed animal hosts Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky would engage in all manner of harmless nonsense, and even strap on musical instruments to perform hippie-dippie rock numbers.

It's already been announced that the Bitten TV show has been cancelled in Canada so there won't be a fourth season. However, there are hopes that the series can continue in some form. Positive ratings on Syfy could certainly help those efforts. Will the numbers improve in season three? Stay tuned.
Bitten revolves around the only female werewolf (Laura Vandervoort) in existence and her struggle to try to live a normal life. Greg Bryk, Greyston Holt, and Steve Lund co-star.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.Read More…...

"Haven" hasn't seen the Colorado Kid, aka James Cogan, since he disappeared with the barn in the Season 3 finale. But the young man is far from forgotten on the show and many have wondered if he might return.
Guess what? Steve Lund, the actor who played James on "Haven," wonders the same thing. When Zap2it talked to Lund about his new show, "Bitten," recently, he dropped a few hints about whether or not the Colorado Kid might ever return.
Alas, the answer is a solid maybe. It is not, however, for lack of interest or trying on Lund's part. "I've been trying with all of my might to get back on 'Haven.' I know there are some people that want to see the Colorado Kid back on the show," Lund explains in the interview. "[Executive producer] Shawn Piller came a couple of times to visit our set when he was in Toronto.

"Bitten" is one of Syfy's newest series, following the lives of modern-day werewolves. While speaking with Zap2it, Steve Lund talks about playing the fun-loving werewolf Nick Sorrentino and about reuniting with his former "Haven" co-star, Laura Vandervoort ("Smallville," "V") on the show.
Zap2it: How would you describe Nick?
Steve Lund: He's the best! He's the man! [laughs] Nick's a very fun character. He's a fun-loving guy who I'd describe as enjoying the fruits of nature. He's maybe not taken as seriously as some of the other werewolves, but he's Ok with that.
He knows his role within the pack. My grandfather was the former Pack Alpha before Jeremy, and my father is the sort of book-handler or logistics-coordinator, if you will, for the pack. So there's a long line of werewolves from which I am a descendant. I've lived a pretty privileged life. And I've been blessed by...
