All-purpose horror thread part 2.





Here's a link to part 1.

All-purpose horror franchise update thread.

So, that one served its purpose.

I kept up on things with Dark Horizons, and Fangoria on my Facebook feed, jotted down everything I found interesting in comments, and then split it up into the Halloween categories.

It created Halloween, now it's time for a fresh one for next year.

And to inaugurate it, more details on "Death House", including the release date of October 20th.
Have a feeling I'll be reviewing that.

Interesting horror-comedy coming up the pike called "Freaks Of Nature", about humans vs zombies vs vampires vs aliens.

Formerly titled "Kitchen Sink".

Sounds fun.

Diacanu said...

Universal wants Tom Cruise to be in the Mummy reboot.

No word on what role he'd play.

Diacanu said...



It's official. Universal has snagged Cruise.

Diacanu said...



Zach Galligan (Billy from 'Gremlins') says Gremlins 3 won't be a reboot or remake, but be more like "Jurassic World".

Diacanu said...



Ridley Scott has said there will be two sequels to "Alien: Covenant", leading directly into "Alien".

Looks like he's deliberately ruining Alien 5 ever happening.
But, "Chappie", probably already did that.


Diacanu said...

The script has been written.

The new Toho Godzilla is called "Godzilla Resurgence".

Diacanu said...


They're doing a "Rocky Horror Picture Show", remake.


http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/40653/-rocky-horror-remake-casts-four-roles


...wonder if they'll follow it up with "Shock Treatment".

Diacanu said...


M. Night Shyamalan is rebooting Tales From The Crypt.

Diacanu said...


Ash vs Lobo and the DC dead is released.

https://youtu.be/K9uKE3kwfOg

Tim Curry is going to be in the Rocky Horror revival as the criminologist.

Diacanu said...



Tyler Perry is going to direct the Halloween reboot.

Hmm...odd...

Diacanu said...


Nope, Fangoria gave a shitty misleading headline.
Perry is NOT directing Halloween.
But he is directing some Halloween holiday based Madea piece of crap.


Diacanu said...


Johnny Depp is going to be the Invisible Man in the new Universal Monster series.

Diacanu said...



Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 is going to have Lee Majors as Ash's dad, and Ted Raimi as Ash's childhood friend.

Diacanu said...


Some movement finally on "Death House".

http://movieweb.com/death-house-movie-cast-horror-icons/

The death of Gunnar Hansen did indeed set them back.
BUT, he co-wrote the screenplay, so his presence will be felt.

Diacanu said...


Soska Sisters's next project is a remake of Cronenberg's "Rabid".

Diacanu said...


A new Hellraiser titled "Hellraiser: Judgment", is on the way.
No word if it's a sequel or reboot.
With the recasting of Pinhead, I'm assuming the latter.
Heather Langenkamp plays a role.
After marathonning the shit-bombs that were 5-8, I'm not too enthused.

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3381492/heres-the-new-pinhead-in-hellraiser-judgment/

Diacanu said...

Idris Elba is the Gunslinger, and Matthew McConaughey is The Man In Black.

The Friday The 13th TV series is dead.

I've seen "Stranger Things", and it was fuckin' awesome.

The Purge 3 changed its title to "The Purge: Election Year", and it came out, and apparently, it was a disappointment.

Diacanu said...

Quickie reviews of some catch-up movies.

The Funhouse Massacre.
Meh, worth one watch.
Only worth it for the d-list celebs.

Last Girl Standing.
Pee-fuckin' yoo!!
Pee!! Fuckin!! Yoo!!
Ripoff of "High Tension", and a bunch of other "victim is the real/new killer", films and shorts. Unoriginal as fuck. Boooo!!

Smothered.
Unwatchable, bailed out after 5 minutes.

Freaks Of Nature. (Formerly "Kitchen Sink")
Surprisingly really good!
Had a surprising amount of cool celebrities in it too!
Key from Key & Peele, Dennis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, & Joan Kusak.
Good effects, this wasn't a b-movie! Indie, but not cheap indie!
Really cute! Might even be worth buying!

The Bravo lists to have handy for Halloween.

http://dickynoo.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-bigass-documentary-review.html

Diacanu said...


The Friday The 13th re-reboot is going to be a prequel about young Jason, and Pamela and Elias Voorhees.

The idea of adding Elias to the mythology has been floating around since at least Friday 7, if not 6.

He pops up in a flashback in the "Jason vs Leatherface", comics, where Pamela machetes him for abusing Jason.
That's de-canonized glorified fanfic now, so we'll see where the movie take sit.

Diacanu said...


Whoops, forgot to add Adrienne Barbeau to the "Death House", cast list.

Diacanu said...



Oh, shit! Just realized looking over the IMDB Robert Englund isn't in "Death House", anymore!
He unceremoniously dropped out with no news update.
:(

Well...he's in "Funhouse Massacre",...for a little bit.

Diacanu said...



The Grudge vs The Ring is going to be a thing.

All the drugs in meee!! All the bugs in meee!!

Dimension lost the rights to Halloween, and "Halloween Returns", quietly died, but now the rights are shared by Blumhouse and Miramax, and they're going to do an untitled reboot with John Carpenter producing.

Diacanu said...



A new flick called "The Bye Bye Man", looks like it might be a stab at a new Freddy.

About a spirit that if you even THINK about it, will possess you.

Diacanu said...


There's going to be an Exorcist series, and I have no enthusiasm whatsoever.

Diacanu said...

Dammit.

Diacanu said...


The upcoming "Re-Animator: Evolution", is a reboot based more on the original short stories.

Diacanu said...



Everyone's jizzing all over "Lights Out", and "Don't Breathe", so I guess I should give them a shout out in one of the Halloween posts.

Oh, and "Blair Witch", which is the 3rd one is a thing.

Diacanu said...


Dammit, they're delaying the Jason reboot yet again!

Universal has acquired the rights to Joe Hill's "Snapshot 1988", before the books have even come out.
Looks to be another "Stranger Things", flavored dealie.
