John Lithgow terrorizes Geoffrey Rush with a creepy puppet in the new trailer for THE RULE OF JENNY PEN, which Stephen King called one of the best movies he watched last year:

Coralie Fargeat sent out a 90 page (!!!) look-book with THE SUBSTANCE screenplay when they were shopping it. Not a pitch deck. An entire feature length look-book that tracks the movie from beginning to end with horrific images. It’s rad… and inspiring as hell. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/16jkY...

This spring, FANGORIA pays tribute to one of the most visionary filmmakers of all time - David Lynch. Though Lynch’s film work spanned (and defied) genres, his dark visions over the years – from ERASERHEAD to BLUE VELVET to LOST HIGHWAY and beyond – have left an indelible imprint on our readers.
