It looks like we can expect Stephen King’s previously-adapted The Tommyknockers to get the remake treatment. The new adaptation will be using the combined forces of James Wan, best known for The Conjuring, Insidious, and Saw, as well as IT producer Roy Lee. The news comes from THR, who reveals they’ll also be working with the original Tommyknockers miniseries producer Larry Sanitsky. According to THR, the film was recently pitched to potential buyers, with a statement from Sanitsky who holds the screen rights. “It is an allegorical tale of addiction (Stephen was struggling with his own at the time), the…

One of the most iconic elements from Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects, who will also be returning in 3 From Hell, is Sid Haig’s character, Captain Spaulding. While Spaulding is best known as a tough-talking clown who leads tourists to the Firefly Family in the original film, his character became more developed by the time The Devil’s Rejects was released. Now it seems like 3 From Hell will be testing Spaulding’s character with an all-new clown teased by Rob Zombie on his Instagram account. The character is apparently named Mr. Baggy Britches, and without any…

Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween movie has a lot of reasons for fans to be excited, one of which is the return of original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle. When Castle was first announced, there was plenty of confusion regarding how he would handle the role, considering he wasn’t as young as he was in 1978. The announcement also revealed he’d be sharing the mask with stunt actor James Jude Courtney, who most assumed would simply handle the more physical scenes of the film. Now it turns out that isn’t the case. In an interview with Halloween Daily News, Courtney explained he…

One of director Uwe Boll’s most well-known films happens to share a name with an upcoming blockbuster – Rampage. While the two films are completely different, Boll has taken to Twitter to complain that the new film not only stole his title, but that the font on the poster was the same as his as well. “Fuck this new fake Rampage movie,” Boll posted on Friday. “Uwe Boll is going to sue Warner Bros. asshole. Totally serious. Will update soon.” Boll moved matters to his official website, where he ranted almost incoherently about the new Rampage. “We are living now…

It’s been quite a few years since our last live-action encounter with the Scooby-Doo gang. Now it seems we’ll be getting another prequel, albeit we’re missing a few members. This time Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley are the focus, giving insight into how they became friends and mystery solvers. Of course you shouldn’t expect a big-budget theatrical release for this; in fact, it shows quite clearly in the quality that it’s going direct-to-video. But hey, that’s not a bad thing. Many of the best Scooby-Doo films were direct-to-video. Zombie Island, anyone? Here’s the new trailer, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. In…

About this time last year, we were going to see production start on an all-new Friday the 13th movie. It would’ve been the first film to be released in almost a decade since the 2009 remake, the longest stretch in time between movies that the franchise has seen since 1980. But, as fate would have it, the film was prematurely cancelled and we wound up with absolutely nothing. Now the rights are set to revert back to Warner Bros., unless Victor Miller somehow prevents that with a lawsuit regarding the copyrights. It’s definitely a chaotic and upsetting time for the…

On St. Patrick’s Day we learned that Syfy was developing a new sequel to the original Leprechaun film from 1993. It will ignore all other entries in the franchise, showing the first Leprechaun being revived 25 years later – and interestingly enough no longer played by Warwick Davis. Instead this incarnation of the Leprechaun will be played by Linden Porco. We already saw Porco in his Leprechaun makeup and attire with Syfy’s teaser video, but this actually isn’t Porco’s first venture into acting or the horror genre. The actor got his start because of his “cartilage-hair hypoplasia, a form of dwarfism that stunts…

While it’s still unknown what the future of Evil Dead is going to be once Season Three of Ash vs. Evil Dead ends, we did have Bruce Campbell say there could always be another movie. “We won’t know [if we’ve been renewed] till the middle of March. We’re in the horrible television limbo right now,” Campbell told EW last month. “If they take us off the air, we can think about another movie. And if they don’t, we can just keep plugging away.” But now he’s changing his statement, suggesting that this third season could very much be the final end…

We live in a time where studios want to pump out remakes in an attempt to receive brand recognition and thus more profit. It seems especially popular to do this with horror titles, as horror fans after all tend to be very supportive for their beloved franchises. A few cult classics have evaded this treatment, but now it seems like 1980’s fan-favorite Chopping Mall might be the next film to get remade. Sort of. According to Robert Green Hall, who is set to write and direct the remake, the movie will not even bear a passing resemblance to the original.…

Rob Zombie is starting to get deep into shooting 3 From Hell, his next feature film which is set to follow up his cult classic The Devil’s Rejects. Zombie has been updating the film’s shooting schedule on his Instagram profile, where he unveiled that Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, and Sid Haig would all return as the iconic Rejects. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgU7Uo1l7OL/?hl=en&taken-by=robzombieofficial He also announced that cult movie legend Austin Stoker would be joining the cast. Stoker is best known for John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13, where he played a police lieutenant named Ethan Bishop. It’s a role that has left…
