A production house refers to a company that is in charge for the development and production of films. In some cases the production house may also be responsible for raising the funds for the film. Sometimes they also sell their products to a film studio or presenting it in a theatrical venue.

In the recent times we will find that the actors, directors, producers, writers of Hollywood have started opening their own production houses because of the fact that this gives them a good opportunity of controlling their careers. Let us go through the details of these production houses of Hollywood.

Perhaps one of the most terrifying villains of all time, and surely one of the most terrifying of the Spiderman villains, Carnage is far from a normal run of the mill law breaker.

Carnage was spawned when Cletus Kasady, a vicious serial killer bonded with an alien predator. Spiderman has dealt with some pretty vile and evil creatures up till now, but none could compare to Carnage. Carnage was not looking to become famous or gain all the riches, but he wanted a world of chaos; one of lawlessness, freedom for all, no punishment whatsoever.

Because Carnage is half alien, or symbiote, he has some pretty special abilities including superhuman speed and strength, out of this world stamina and agility, and lighting fast reflexes. He makes all the other Spiderman villians look like flies on the wall waiting as prey. Carnage has a great advantage over Spiderman, and that is his immunity to Spiderman's spider sense.

So, when the attacks from Carnage come, Spiderman is usually caught off guard.Kasady comes from a violent background, probably more violent than all of the Spiderman villains, as Kasady claims his father brutally murdered his mother.He has also told his doctors that he killed his own grandmother, and tortured his mother's dog, causing her to in turn want to murder him. With an upbringing like that, what do you expect? By his early twenties,

Kasady was convicted of more than 11 murders, but had killed even more than that. Carnage is a combination of insanity, sadistic with pure and deadly abilities. It is this kind of villain that Spiderman fans love to see and watch how Spiderman can deal with him.
