Mike Flanagan is bringing together several familiar names for his next horror project. Matthew Lillard is reuniting with the filmmaker, while Cooper Koch and Prey star Amber Midthunder have joined the cast. The psychological thriller-horror will also mark Alexandra Magistro’s feature directorial debut.

According to Deadline, Flanagan is producing Rot through his Red Room Pictures banner. Geo Bradley wrote the screenplay, which made the 2024 Black List. Production of the film is expected to begin in Vancouver in November 2026, while the makers have yet to announce the release date.

What do we know about Rot and its cast so far?

Rot follows an antisocial man who works as a trauma cleaner while dealing with obsessive compulsions and the death of his hoarder mother. His job forces him to confront his past, but the experience begins to take a disturbing toll on his mental state. The story combines psychological thriller elements with body horror.

Bradley’s screenplay earned a spot on the 2024 Black List, which recognizes notable unproduced screenplays. The project combines elements of “Repulsion” and David Cronenberg-style body horror.

Koch will star in the film after earning Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his portrayal of Erik Menendez in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. He will also appear in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film, Artificial.

Midthunder gained popularity for playing Naru in Prey, the 2022 Predator prequel. The actor has recently appeared in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Novocaine.

Lillard, meanwhile, has recently appeared in Scream 7, Daredevil: Born Again, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. His casting marks another collaboration with Flanagan after the two worked together on The Life of Chuck in 2024. Lillard and Midthunder will also star in Flanagan’s upcoming television series Carrie.

Flanagan will produce the film alongside Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty and Elan Gale. With filming scheduled to begin later this year, further details about the film’s release date and remaining cast are expected to follow.

GTA 6 Unlocks Early for Millions of Players Worldwide

Players eagerly awaiting Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 may get their hands on Vice City slightly earlier than expected thanks to a regional digital unlock schedule.

Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated open-world video game is set to launch globally in November. However, a new update has a loophole through which millions of gamers can get started early in Vice City.

Where GTA 6 unlocks first and how the global rollout works

GTA Vice has noted that the PlayStation Store listings for GTA 6 reveal a worldwide unlock schedule. This means it won’t unlock everywhere simultaneously. Certain players in some regions will get access up to 19 hours before others as the game rolls out across 63 regions. 

Since the game won’t launch on disk, all players will be subject to PlayStation and Xbox’s scheduling for the game’s online release.

The timestamps reveal it will unlock first in New Zealand, followed by Australia, Japan, South Korea, and others. If PlayStation sticks to its schedule, then players in the U.K. and the U.S. will be among the last to get access to the game. For those keeping track, the game will be released at midnight local time, hence the time differences across regions.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in the making for almost a decade. The game will be Rockstar’s first release on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The players will take on the roles of Jason and Lucia as they wreak havoc across Vice City and the state of Leonida.

Like previous Rockstar titles, GTA 6 will also feature a massive open world full of dynamic activities. Similar to GTA 5, players will be able to freely switch between Jason and Lucia during gameplay.

GTA 6 is currently available for digital pre-order on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S ahead of its November 19, 2026, launch.

Marvel Quietly Assembled a Super-Team of MCU Writers for Doomsday & Secret Wars

Photo Credits: Marvel Studios

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars may have pushed Marvel to assemble the best MCU writers together. The awaited superhero epics will feature a massive ensemble cast, led by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and more.

Michael Waldron, one of the writers on Doomsday and Secret Wars, revealed how the two movies brought together previous MCU writers Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and Stephen McFeely to provide key contributions.

Speaking with TheWrap, he said, “I mean, just those writers are responsible for some of the biggest movies ever made, so I just feel lucky to be working with all of them.” 

How Marvel’s Avengers writing team came together behind the scenes

Michael Waldron went on to explain how Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and McFeely eventually joined Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars during the writing phase.

“I was on these movies for a long time. I went off and made Chad Powers when Steve and the Russos came on, and then I came back into Avengers and was helping out Steve and Joe and Anthony, and then went and made Season 2 of Chad Powers,” he revealed.

Chris and Erik later joined the two movies as Waldron came back after completing Chad Powers. Since then, he’s been “helping some more, working with Chris and Erik and Steve and everybody.”

Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters later this year on December 18, 2026. The movie will see the return of Robert Downey Jr., but not as Tony Stark/Iron Man. He will play the main supervillain, Victor von Doom.

The massive cast also includes Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova/Black Widow, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, among others.

As for Avengers: Secret Wars, it will be released next year on December 17, 2027. Marvel has yet to officially announce details on its full cast.

Popular Paranormal TV Show Haunts HBO Max Streaming With New Scares Today

Photo Credit: Discovery+

Horror show fans now have another reason to stay up late in September. A popular paranormal TV show is coming to HBO Max with brand-new episodes.

Paranormal Caught on Camera Season 11 arrives on Max on September 6, 2026, offering viewers a fresh collection of alleged supernatural encounters captured on video. The latest season of the Travel Channel series joins the platform as part of its fall horror line-up.

The long-running series takes a distinct approach from traditional ghost-hunting programs. Rather than following a single team of investigators into haunted locations, Paranormal Caught on Camera focuses on real-world footage recorded by eyewitnesses across the world.

The featured videos show alleged ghost sightings, potential UFO sightings, cryptid encounters, and unexplained phenomena captured on smartphones, security cameras, dashcams, and home surveillance systems.

What is the HBO Max Paranormal TV show Caught on Camera about?

Each episode presents multiple videos that are analyzed by a panel of paranormal specialists. The experts break down the visual evidence and discuss potential explanations, while the individuals who recorded the footage share their firsthand accounts of the events.

Paranormal investigators Brian J. Cano and Sapphire Sandalo are among the featured analysts who evaluate the evidence alongside technicians and researchers, allowing viewers to weigh the evidence and draw their own conclusions.

The arrival of Season 11 on HBO Max comes at an ideal time for paranormal enthusiasts looking to kick off the Halloween horror season early. With unscripted supernatural content continuing to draw strong viewership across various platforms, the series offers binge-worthy entertainment for fans, while its mysterious storylines keep each episode highly intriguing.

Season 11 continues this format with a fresh slate of eyewitness footage and unexplained occurrences. Paranormal Caught on Camera Season 11 is available to stream on Max starting September 6, 2026.

Avengers: Doomsday Unveils Doctor Doom’s Throne & Fans Can Sit on It

Avengers: Doomsday is bringing Doctor Doom’s throne to life for Marvel fans. A full-scale replica of the iconic seat has been installed inside a mall in the Philippines. Visitors can see the throne up close and sit on it for photos. The display offers an interactive experience for the upcoming Marvel film.

you can sit on it and take a pic!! you'll also get a coin if i ppost niyo raw sa IG or FB (until sunday daw sila) pic.twitter.com/jEUXLPYSRC

— enz (@neurxnz) September 4, 2026

According to @neurxnz on X, the promotion also gives fans an incentive to share the experience online. Visitors who post their photos on Instagram or Facebook may receive a special coin. The activation is reportedly available through Sunday. It gives fans an early look at Doctor Doom’s throne before the highly anticipated Marvel film hits theaters.

Avengers: Doomsday brings Doctor Doom into the MCU spotlight

Victor von Doom will become one of the central figures in Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. taking on the role. The casting marks a major change for the actor, as he previously played Tony Stark/Iron Man throughout the MCU.

Downey Jr.’s return has become one of the film’s biggest talking points. Instead of returning as Iron Man, he will play one of Marvel Comics’ most prominent villains. Doom’s introduction will establish a major new threat for the Avengers and potentially shape the direction of the MCU’s next chapter.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film is written by Michael Waldron, Stephen McFeely, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers. The film will bring together a large ensemble of Marvel characters as the franchise continues exploring its multiverse storyline.

Doctor Doom also has longstanding connections to the Fantastic Four in Marvel Comics. His role in the upcoming Avengers film could be bigger than this conflict. He could become an important part of the MCU’s future.

With the film approaching, Marvel is continuing to keep Doom at the center of its promotional efforts. The Philippine activation gives fans an early look at Doctor Doom and his role in Avengers: Doomsday.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.

Lanterns Writer Reveals the Surprising Movie That Inspired John Stewart’s Family Story

Photo Credit: HBO

Lanterns writer revealed the film that shaped one of the series’ most personal arcs. Vanessa Baden Kelly has recently shed light on the movie that inspired John Stewart‘s family story. Episode 3 of the HBO Max series delves into Stewart’s origin story and how he was trained to become Green Lantern.

The 40-year-old recently spoke with Collider, reflecting on Stewart’s relationship with his family as depicted throughout the third episode. Kelly said, “You will see how their relationship plays out throughout his adult years, but one of the things that I would keep harkening back to in the room is the film King Richard. It was really interesting because I have an almost 11-year-old, and when that film came out, I thought it was a really beautiful tribute by two daughters to their father.”

The Lanterns writer further added, “Regardless of how I felt about anything, those daughters hold their father up here, and they believe that they would not have been where they were had it not been for him, and they made a film to highlight that.”

Kelly further noted that the hardships Stewart’s parents put him through were inspired by how parents traditionally shape their children’s futures by pushing them through difficult situations.

How did John Stewart’s parents train him to become Green Lantern?

DC’s Lanterns third episode shows how John Sr. was first chosen over Hal Jordan to become a Green Lantern but failed the test for not being fearless, which ultimately left him traumatized. Later, Lianna, a member of the Guardians of the Universe, visits John’s mother, Bernadette, promising her that Stewart will have the chance to become a Green Lantern when he grows up. Since John turned five, his parents taught him to be fearless so he could eventually handle superhero responsibilities.

Young Stewart was made to shoot apples placed above his parents’ heads, was left alone at night in dangerous parts of the city, and was taught to handle firearms. His parents deliberately exposed him to challenging situations to make him fearless enough to qualify for the test of becoming a Green Lantern.

In 2016, John finally takes the test and qualifies. Lianna interviews him and selects him to become the new Green Lantern, after which he must undergo Hal Jordan‘s training.

This year’s horror hit Obsession will be a highlight at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Fans will also get a chance to hunt for a very special Easter Egg at the event.

Last month, HHN Creative Director and executive producer John Murdy announced that Obsession’s popular character Nikki will be present at this year’s event. The character, originally played by Inde Navarrette in the movie, will roam around at HHN.

The performers who will play Nikki at HHN will be able to interact with the fans as well. They will also use dialogue scripted by Murdy and directly inspired by the movie.

However, Nikki’s appearance at Halloween Horror Nights as a typical “slasher villain” has fuelled controversy. Many fans have argued that the character was a victim in the movie. She was trapped under the deadly spell by Bear, who fans believe is the real villain.

Curry Barker adds a hidden surprise for ‘Obsession’ fans

Halloween Horror Nights has also arranged an Easter Egg hunt at the event for Obsession fans. Guests can check out Universal Studios Hollywood’s social media, including its Instagram Story, where a password will be provided. Fans can use the password to interact with the performer playing Nikki.

It will feature the One Wish Willow phone number that Bear called in the film in an attempt to modify the fated wish. “I love the scene where Bear tries to call the customer service department, and when I was reading about the making of the film, I realized that Curry did that voice,” Murdy said.

The HHN creative director also revealed that Obsession’s director Curry Barker has prepared a surprise for the fans.

“I’ve asked him to record a special message for our fans as if he were the customer service rep from One Wish Willow,” Murdy announced. “So it’ll have a phone number on it, and they can call the number and get an exclusive message from Curry,” he added (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood begins on Thursday, September 3.

Tom Cruise’s Days of Thunder 2 Must Reinvent Nostalgia or Risk Ruining His Legacy

Photo Credit: Tom Cruise's Instagram

In Days of Thunder 2, Tom Cruise must figure out a way to reinvent nostalgia. Otherwise, he risks ruining his legacy.

Cruise is returning to the racetrack to star in Days of Thunder 2, Paramount‘s sequel to 1990’s Days of Thunder. Cruise will reprise his role as Cole Trickle, the hotshot Nascar driver who won the Daytona 500 in the first movie.

On Cruise’s social media, the actor revealed that Anne Hathaway will star in Days of Thunder 2. Hathaway is expected to play an engineer and team owner in the sequel. Days of Thunder 2 will be filmed for Imax and other premium large-screen formats, including Dolby and 4DX.

Days of Thunder 2 races into theaters on June 2, 2028. Jonathan Levine has been tapped to direct for Paramount.

Cruise has a history of resurrecting characters from his past for sequels. The 64-year-old has played Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible franchise since 1996. However, the more relevant example of Cruise resurrecting an old character for a sequel is Top Gun: Maverick.

Cruise can make Days of Thunder 2 like Top Gun: Maverick, but it must learn from the lessons of a successful sequel or risk tarnishing the original’s legacy.

Days of Thunder 2 can follow Top Gun: Maverick blueprint without becoming a nostalgia trip

There is nothing wrong with nostalgia. Cruise has built a career around longing for characters of the past. Audiences love when Cruise plays Ethan Hunt and Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Add Cole Trickle to the list. Cruise should absolutely leverage the past to build his future if that’s what audiences want.

However, legacy sequels do not have a strong track record of working. Top Gun: Maverick is one of the shining examples of how to properly make a legacy sequel. The key is to honor the past while advancing the future. Top Gun: Maverick included many nods to the original movie, including the beach scenes, infectious music, and the honoring of Iceman.

More importantly, the sequel added new storylines, developed strong characters, and capitalized on strong technical advancements. The result worked as Top Gun: Maverick became the highest-grossing movie of Cruise’s career.

Days of Thunder 2 must follow the Top Gun: Maverick blueprint. The sequel can capture Cole’s cockiness and the invigorating racing scenes. It may also include a moment to reflect on Robert Duvall, who played Harry Hogge, Cole’s crew chief in the first movie. Duvall died earlier this year.

However, Days of Thunder 2 must craft a fresh story inside this legacy IP. It’s the only way audiences will respond positively to it. Give audiences something they’ve never seen before while highlighting the original’s style and spirit. If that doesn’t happen, the original’s legacy and Cruise’s career will suffer.

Cruise figured out a legacy sequel once before. He should learn from its lessons before returning to the racetrack.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day To Beat James Cameron on 2 Major Counts

Photo Credit: Sony Pictures Releasing

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is about to make box office history that even James Cameron couldn’t stop. The Sony/Marvel blockbuster stands on the verge of overtaking one of Cameron’s biggest films on two all-time records.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day to become the third biggest movie at box office

Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day sits less than $10 million away from $900 million domestically, according to Deadline. The film earned $22.2 million in its fifth weekend, bringing its running domestic total to $891.5 million. It currently ranks fourth on the all-time worldwide box office chart with $2.33 billion globally.

The superhero sequel needs approximately $45 million more domestically to surpass Avatar: The Way of Water’s $688 million and claim third place on the all-time worldwide grosses list. Avatar: The Way of Water holds the number three spot with $2.33 billion worldwide, putting the two films roughly $2 million apart. Ne Zha 2 sits at number five with $2.27 billion, while Titanic holds sixth place at $2.26 billion.

Brand New Day already stands as the highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home’s $1.92 billion worldwide. The film’s domestic total currently runs 5% ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the same point in its release, per Deadline. That 2015 film finished its domestic run at $936.6 million and remains the only title to cross the $900 million domestic milestone.

The film opened to $360 million domestically across 4,487 theaters on July 31. It has maintained the number one domestic position for five consecutive weekends. The fifth-weekend hold of $22.2 million represents a 43% drop from the previous frame.

Brand New Day also generates 38.2% of its worldwide gross domestically and 61.8% internationally. The international total stands at $1.44 billion. Only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water rank higher on the all-time worldwide chart.

Fall Horror Movie With Virginia Gardner Streaming for Free Ahead of Sequel

Fall, the 2022 survival horror movie starring Virginia Gardner and Grace Caroline Currey, is now available to stream for free ahead of the upcoming sequel. The new movie, titled Fall 2: Deadpoint, is scheduled to arrive in theaters next week.

Directed by Scott Mann, Fall is about two best friends who decide it’d be a fun idea to climb a 2,000-foot-tall television broadcasting tower. Upon arriving at the top of the structure, however, the two of them become stranded and have no way to get down. The rest of the movie is then about them trying to safely find a way back to the ground before dehydration, vultures, or other threats kill them.

While not a record-breaking hit at the box office, Fall brought in around $21 million at the box office off a modest $3 million budget. It received positive reviews from critics and movie-goers alike, as it has a 79 percent score on both the Tomatometer and Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.

Watch Fall on YouTube for free, courtesy of Lionsgate Movies, below (watch more trailers and clips):

What is the new Fall sequel movie about?

Directed by Peter and Michael Spierig, Fall 2: Deadpoint stars Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas, Tom Brittney, and Grace Caroline Currey. Rather than a broadcasting tower, the sequel sees the main characters become stuck on a dangerous mountain plank walk.

The official synopsis reads, “On a perilous climb across Thailand’s Mount Kwan, two climbers become trapped thousands of feet above the ground, where vertigo-inducing heights, sheer exposure, and impossible odds turn every moment into a fight for survival. Lionsgate and Capstone Studios present, Grindstone Entertainment Group presents, a Tea Shop and Capstone Studios production, a Flawless production, in association with Cousin Jones.”

Fall 2: Deadpoint will be released in the United States on September 2, 2026, by Lionsgate.

Photo Credits: Independent Film Company

The new Breeder trailer featuring Gen V’s Maddie Phillips was released on August 26, 2026. The preview of the upcoming horror film delves into how a seemingly peaceful poodle ranch turns into a terrifying nightmare for the characters.

The trailer for Breeder opens with Russell, played by Daniel Doheny, lying on the floor. Dot-Marie Jones, who portrays a strange and creepy poodle breeder, Patti, then introduces him to the girls as she states, “Russell, I’d like you to meet my daughters.” As Russell joins them at the table, Maddie Philips, who plays the role of Ainsley, then says to him, “We’re not a cult, I swear.”

The 2-minute 8-second trailer then slowly unravels how Russell has actually been trapped by Patti for a different purpose. Dot-Marie Jones’ character reveals that she is moving from dog breeding to human breeding. She further says to Russell that he is the right stud for her project of breeding people. The trailer soon heightens the horror with disturbing visuals. An eerie background score further adds to the unsettling atmosphere.

Check out the Breeder trailer below (Watch more trailers):

Breeder follows a college student who discovers a sinister catch behind a research offer

The narrative of the film explores how a strange dog breeder tricks Russell, who is a broke college student, into coming to her isolated ranch. It doesn’t take long for Russell to discover the frightening secrets she has been hiding.

The synopsis of the film reads, “An eccentric poodle breeder lures a broke college student to her remote ranch with a promise of research funding. But, as he soon learns, there’s a catch.”

The 97-minute film has been written and directed by Alex Goyette. Alongside Daniel Doheny, Dot-Marie Jones, and Maddie Phillips, the cast also features Tanaya Beatty, Carmen Moore, Paige McGarvin, Lillian Doucet-Roche, Rochelle Greenwood, Charlotte Kavanagh, Jen Araki-Playfair, and others.

“Independent Film Company and Shudder have always been a dream home for us. We’re thrilled to partner with them to bring Breeder to audiences following its world premiere at Tribeca. As conversations around eugenics continue to resurface, our film confronts those ideas through the eyes of a deranged poodle breeder,” said Goyette, reflecting on the upcoming film, per Variety.

Breeder is scheduled to hit the theaters on October 16, 2026.

VisionQuest: Why MCU Show Is Doing Something Marvel Has Never Done With Paul Bettany Before

(Photo Credit: Disney+)

VisionQuest is taking Paul Bettany‘s MCU journey in a new direction. Created by Terry Matalas, the upcoming Marvel show serves as the conclusion to the trilogy that began with WandaVision in 2021.

Paul Bettany will reprise his role as White Vision in the upcoming television miniseries. The series will explore the character’s past and how it influenced his identity. Furthermore, the show will also hint at what the character’s future may look like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Matales told Empire, “This is the first time where we get to watch Vision drive the narrative, and understand who he is, who he thinks he was.” Revealing more about the narrative of the upcoming series, the showrunner added, “We watch this character go through an identity crisis. It’s kind of the Vision movie, if you will. He is attempting to move about in the world in a small way, and then at night download this data and discuss the things that have happened to him with these different AIs, who have different characteristics and help him understand different qualities and skills.”

The showrunner further added, “But he is also very much using it as an excuse to keep the world and himself at arm’s length. And of course, events conspire to drag him actually into the world.”

Everything we know about Marvel’s VisionQuest so far

The upcoming Marvel Television miniseries is the second spinoff of WandaVision. While Bettany will be back as Vision, James Spader will reprise his role as Ultron in the series.

Thanos killed Vision to capture the Mind Stone in Avengers: Infinity War. However, during the events of WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff created a version of him inside the fake reality of Westview. Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. rebuilt the synthezoid’s original body and turned his body color to white. Later, White Vision regained his identity and memories after the encounter with Wanda’s fake Vision.

The logline of VisionQuest, per IMDb, reads, “Vision is faced with many challenges while trying to regain his memory and humanity.”

The series will also see Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., and James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S. Other ensemble members include Diane Morgan, Ruaridh Mollica, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Todd Stashwick, and more.

The upcoming Marvel show is the 18th television series in the MCU. Matalas is also directing the miniseries alongside Christopher J. Byrne, Gandja Monteiro, and Vincenzo Natali.

VisionQuest was announced in October 2022 and is scheduled to release four years later on October 14, 2026.

Lanterns: Why Some Fans Think Show Will Give Huge Justice League Character Their DCU Debut

Photo Credit: HBO

DCU’s superhero TV series Lanterns might debut a major character from the Justice League. The DC fans seem quite hyped about it. The series is directed by James Hawes and has been making quite a buzz.

Following the conclusion of ‘Trust Fall,’ the second episode, the audience is divided over whether Martian Manhunter will make its debut. Fans also theorized that J’onn J’onnz might finally be coming to the DCU. @OptimusGrind stated, “Manhunters??? As in Martian Manhunter??? J’onn J’onzz???? #Lanterns.”

Another, @natheng98 promptly corrected the notion, saying, “That’s “martian manhunter”….man hunters are different.” @NewTSage wrote, “The only part about this Manhunter stuff that’s throwing me off that they sound like Martians the way people keep describing what they can do. #Lanterns” @BartonBella1 quipped, “People acting like the manhunters and Martian manhunter are the same thing is pi**ing me off #Lanterns.”

For context, the Manhunters are quite different from The Martian Manhunter. They are a fictional group of extraterrestrial robots who are part of a police force. These interstellar beings are tasked with thwarting dangers and fighting evil threats from across the cosmos.

Lanterns introduces the Manhunters as the Green Lantern mystery expands

The second episode of Lanterns gave fans a lot to process. This is the very first time fans have seen Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan donning the Green Lantern suit and the chemistry between Chandler and Aaron Pierre’s character.

The biggest reveal, however, was the introduction of the Manhunters. Following their investigation into a high school shooting during a football game, the duo found out how an alien scout team was trying to locate a Manhunter who reportedly ‘engineered a holocaust’ over their home planet.

Meanwhile, Hal and his partner face a huge problem. The said Manhunter must be located and handed over to the aliens within a couple of days. If not done, the aliens threaten to terrorize Rushville by coming into the locality and blowing themselves up, causing significant damage to life and property within the town.
