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’s a police department in Pennsylvania that’s been getting a lot of attention online thanks to a prank inspired by the upcoming IT adaptation. On Tuesday morning, the Lititz Borough Police Department shared two photos of the prank, which are very surreal depictions of something that could easily be a scene from the movie. Someone had tied a bright red balloon to a sewer grate, as if Pennywise himself were tempting civilians to come down and “float”. The department managed to say “we want the local prankster to know that we were completely terrified as we removed these balloons from…

For fans of the Jeepers Creepers franchise – the time for the next sequel is almost at hand. After years in development hell, the movie has actually finished production, with a quickly impending release date. But act fast, as its theatrical release seems to be a one day only affair. A new trailer has been released to advertise this one day showing, and it promises a rather dark return to the roots of the franchise. The Creeper is presented as a malevolent force, and the campiness of Jeepers Creepers 2 seems to be toned down. A good sign indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owwu5M5DaSk&feature=youtu.be…

With the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s IT rushing towards theaters next month, many fans have wondered if the film would include a rather controversial sex scene from the original novel. In fact, we recently did an entire article theorizing its inclusion based on the R rating and a number of other interesting factors – and already determined it would not be included. But now director Andy Muschietti has spoken with Collider about the infamous sex scene, and how it will not be included in his new film (potential spoilers): “Well, I think the whole story is a bit of…

Ever since it was announced that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green would lead the team to revive the Halloween franchise, reactions by fans have been mixed. While the two have a resume consisting mostly of comedies, some fans believe that’s what will allow them to inject something fresh into the seemingly dead series. Other fans are more skeptical, thinking that someone more familiar with the genre should be attached. And apparently that almost happened. While speaking with The Movie Crypt in an effort to promote his Death Note adaptation, director Adam Wingard revealed he almost got to helm the…

Tobe Hooper, best known for having directed the 1974 motion picture The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (widely considered the greatest horror film ever made), has passed away Saturday in Sherman Oaks, California at age 74 according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.
