The Jeepers Creepers franchise seems to be making a comeback. A new international trailer for the third film has been making rounds across the Internet, and it boasts a whole lot of footage that wasn’t included in the last 30 second promo. We get to see more of the cast, and the Creeper himself gets a few eerie daylight shots. It also implies we’ll be learning more about the Creeper’s origin story and possibly how to kill it, something that we could see in the fourth film that’s been implied to be in the works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XscOrh4RPfY&feature=youtu.be Writer and director Victor…

John Carpenter is back, and he’s brought an old friend with him. Carpenter has directed a new music video based on Stephen King’s Christine – 34 years after directing the adaptation of the same name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH2f4A4SVNk&feature=youtu.be This October, Sacred Bones Records will be releasing a compilation album entitled “John Carpenter Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998”. The album consists of nearly John Carpenter’s entire musical work as well as his own version of Ennio Morricone’s music for The Thing. In order to promote the album, Carpenter has decidedly created a music video featuring his theme for Christine. If you’re a fan of…

The Stephen King connections just keep on coming. The recent Dark Tower movie adaptation was widely marketed as being a connecting piece for many of King’s works, much like the titular Dark Tower novels. Meanwhile Andy Muschietti wasn’t as keen on playing the cinematic universe card with his adaptation of IT. But that’s not to say there aren’t a few Easter eggs hidden about. One such reference you might’ve missed actually calls back to Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers. Twitter user Michael Varrati has pointed out that Henry Bowers’ car in the movie is the same exact make and model as Charles’…

If you’ve seen the latest rendition of Stephen King’s IT, you’re likely aware of how tremendous a job Skarsgård has done playing Pennywise. He’s somehow made an iconic character that’s endured almost 30 years now into something even more iconic – and that’s impressive. While plenty of credit can be given to the costume and makeup departments, Skarsgård himself must be credited the most for bringing Pennywise to life. It’s his own face and charisma that made the cosmic clown just a little more unique and sinister than anyone else could have. And you can see how that’s even more…

Halloween creator John Carpenter seems to be very enthusiastic about the upcoming Halloween sequel – and even wants to write the music! The film is set to be directed by David Gordon Green, who is writing alongside Danny McBride. The two have announced that the movie will not be a reboot but take place sometime after the events of 1981’s Halloween II. While Halloween was only produced for a small $300,000 it went on to become a massive hit. The movie once-and-for-all introduced the slasher genre and horror has been influenced by it ever since. One of the key pieces…

It looks like actor Mark Wahlberg is surprisingly enough the highest paid actor in the world. According to Forbes, Wahlberg has earned $68 million in just the last year. The numbers help stem from his role in Transformers: The Last Knight, as well as his role in Daddy’s Home 2. He also managed to make some extra money from his reality TV series Wahlburgers and his part in being AT&T’s spokesperson. He’s just barely ahead of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who’s earned $65 million. Johnson managed to make a huge amount of money for his appearance in Jumanji: Welcome…

The iconic McDonald’s mascot Ronald McDonald has been mashed up with Stephen King’s IT by VT – and it’s a pairing that just makes so much sense. The fictional trailer follows a group of boys that are being endlessly terrorized by the fast food icon. It even pokes fun at how much Ronald hates other fast food restaurants, for example he freaks out over a KFC bucket. With the world being so crazy about clowns lately, it’s a blast seeing two of the most iconic being used to form one horrifically funny video: Meanwhile the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s…

There seems to be plenty of other nations besides the United States getting excited over the new IT film, as you can see in this prank from Brazil below. The prank is setup with a man in a Pennywise outfit hiding in a sewer drain. He’s accompanied by a kid posing as “Georgie” telling random individuals that his paper boat is lost in the sewer. It continues with citizens attempting to reach for the boat, before “Pennywise” leaps out and scares them running into the streets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az4amgoeUOk&feature=youtu.be It’s a rather terrifying prank, and one that accompanies the movie perfectly. Even…

CineFix has proven you don’t need millions of dollars to make a great trailer – as they’ve managed to produce a rather faithful reproduction of the Thor: Ragnarok promo. The props used in the making of the trailer are simply ordinary household items and tools, proving that innovation and creativity can go a long way when producing something. Check out the CineFix trailer below! https://youtu.be/29RUeUXqSK8 And, if you wanna see how close they got it, here’s a side-by-side comparison! https://youtu.be/CXafZrssgnY Meanwhile, Kevin Feige himself insists that Thor: Ragnarok will have a totally separate feel compared to the other Marvel films.…
