About Craig Ellison

Craig Ellison has been writing about entertainment for nearly a decade — from college newspapers to major film publications. His work focuses on adult animation (Futurama, Solar Opposites), video game adaptations (Castlevania: Nocturne), dark fantasy (Jujutsu Kaisen, Daemons of the Shadow Realm), and horror (Mike Flanagan, John Carpenter's The Thing, and anything A24 touches).

Before shifting fully into entertainment, Craig spent over six years as a baseball writer, publishing weekly articles across multiple outlets. That sports background gave him an unusual but useful skill: he treats streaming rankings, IMDb scores, and release schedules like a box score — with healthy skepticism and a soft spot for the underdog.

Craig got his start in student journalism at Illinois Valley Community College (writing for The IV Leader) before transferring to Eureka College on the Stephen W. Rigazio scholarship. At Eureka, he wrote for The Pegasus, covering everything from campus happenings to politics — including the 2020 election and Palestine. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's in Communication.

What happens at the end of Catching Fire? The film stops mid-story — the rest only came a year later
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) is the rare blockbuster that ends on a deliberate cliffhanger, lifted straight from Suzanne Collins's novel and staged by director Francis Lawrence with a confidence he later credited to binge-watching Breaking Bad. Here's exactly how the film wraps up, why the final shot was improvised on set, and why audiences had to wait until 21 November 2014 for the story to continue in Mockingjay – Part 1.
