Rob Zombie’s 3 From Hell is the long-anticipated sequel to both House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Although the two films varied quite differently from one another in style and tone, and 3 From Hell looks to do the same – they all have three major connective characters.

IT: Chapter 2 is following in the footsteps of its predecessor, making a smash at the box office and instantly becoming a hit with most horror fans. One complaint, however, is that the movie appears to be too lengthy. Now with said runtime reaching nearly three hours, it may be shocking to know that director Andy Muschietti has been discussing an IT supercut featuring both chapters.

At that rate it might be worth checking out this year. According to MysticalRaven, “If you’re in the Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zones, you’ll be able to this unique full moon once the sun sets, and don’t…

While we know that his next project will be a R rated original concept, plot details are still unspecified. But that hasn’t stopped some details from leaking out – such as the working title Silvercup. And, better yet, the film will be taking advantage of a fantastic sub-genre. It turns out that Silvercup will in fact be a Giallo film. Bloody-Disgusting did the digging, after noticing that Giallo Films, LLC is the company under which Silvercup is being produced.…
