Variety reported that Iron Man director Jon Favreau is set to pick up with his role as Happy Hogan again, in the upcoming movie Spider Man: Homecoming. Look at that face! He can't wait.

A fourth Five Nights at Freddy's game titled "The Final Chapter" has been announced, and slated for release this Halloween.  I have my doubts that this'll truly be the final chapter, but I don't know for how many more games after that Freddy's body can hang on.  He's looking as loosely stitched together as this franchise.

According to an email from Blue Isle Studios, Slender: the Arrival will be available on Steam by Halloween:

Shh…

Something new is coming to Slender: The Arrival

Only you are allowed to know about it.

This Halloween we'll be on Steam.
