New Gallery For Earthtastrophe Shows..DRAMA!

As I caught wind that Nick Lyon’s Syfy TV-Movie Earthtastrophe aired in Asia last Wednesday, I found some new pics dropped from the very flick ON Syfy.com featuring some of the cast holding people at gunpoint, stalking others, hoarding cash and bunkering down. Earthtastrophe’ is said to star Tonya Kay as the lead among Paige Lauren Billiot, Malani Coomes, Rachel Coomes, Andrew J Kraters, Alex Mansour and Evan Sloan Weinstein In a white hot flash of light, and with no warning, one minute our moon is there, the next it’s gone. Then, a second flash. And that’s the last thing anyone on Earth can remember. 11 months later, it’s not post- apocalyptic; it’s apocalyptic as Earth has been sucked through a wormhole, literally ripping our planet from the inside out. With bizarre disasters and civilization collapsing, our heroes must find a way to survive and get to “safe ground” before it’s too late. The next air date for Earthtastrope stands

The Purge Getting A Television Series

‘The Purge: Election Year‘ has just arrived on VOD and will be out on DVD on October 4th. We may soon see more of ‘The Purge’ in a different media. News has now come that the franchise will soon be adapted for a television series. There’s more good news, the franchise’s creator, writer and director, James DeMonaco, will be along for the ride. In an interview with CinemaBlend, DeMonaco explained the new series. Yes! Not an anthology…I guess kind of an anthology – more of an interwoven anthology. They came to me about a TV show, my idea is that you do six or seven storylines. And I wold intercut them, use flashbacks.” DeMonaco continued on to elaborate on his ideas for the series. The idea of why I like the idea of a maybe 10 hour TV thing on this, the one thing you really can’t do on the films is, just because of mere real estate and time,

Creepy Clown Harrasing Neighborhood Gets Shot

Across the nation clowns have been terrifying citizens and harassing kids, even forcing some cities to cancel school days. A few clowns have been arrested, but many towns are still living in fear. Today, one clown that had been harassing a neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana got shot. Let’s face it, it was just a matter of time. Today at 12:30 p.m. on Plaza Drive, in Fort Wayne, police found the critically injured man dressed as a clown, on the ground shot. Michael Joyner, a spokesperson from the Fort Wayne Police Department, stated that a white van pulled up alongside the clown and parked. An unknown man stepped out of the van, approached the clown and fired multiple times, then fled the scene. The victim’s name has yet to be released. The shooter remains at large.

Don Mancini Drops Hint About Child’s Play 7

Back in 2013 the sixth film in the ‘Child’s Play’ franchise returned to its roots, reminding us of the first ‘Child’s Play’ films. For the past year, we have heard whispers of a seventh film in the works. Today, we finally have an update. Don Mancini, the creator and writer of the franchise, Tweeted a photo of the Glen doll (Chucky and Tiffany’s kid) “doubling for Chucky”. Leading us to wonder if the seventh film will be more in the vain of 1998’s ‘Bride of Chucky’ and 2004’s ‘Seed of Chucky’, which would be just fine with me. I love those movies. Either way, the good news is that film has entered preproduction. We do know that Jennifer Tilly, who co-stared in both ‘Bride of Chucky’ and ‘Seed of Chucky’, will be returning for ‘Child’s Play 7’ along with Fiona Dourif, who starred in ‘Child’s Play 6: Curse Of Chucky’. Dourif is also the daughter of actor Brad Dourif who

An Interview With Film And TV Composer And Musician Charlie Clouser

One of the most important parts of a film is its score and soundtrack. Even if you don’t realize it, the music is there to guide you through the movie and influence your mood, the setting, and the tone of the movie. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview a fantastic composer, musician, and Grammy nominee Charlie Clouser who has composed a long list of scores for television, film, and games including for the ‘Saw’ franchise, ‘Wayward Pines’, and the iconic opening score of ‘American Horror Story’. You may recognize Clouser for his work as a musician. He was one of the founding members of Nine Inch Nails. Clouser still works in the music industry today, creating remixes for musicians like Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie’s band White Zombie. Horror Fuel: “You have been involved with various roles in the music industry for a while. How old were you when you began playing music and what was your first instrument?”

The Graboids Are Back – Tremors 6 In The Works

Last October the fifth film in the ‘Tremors’ franchise, ‘Tremors V: Bloodlines‘, landed Burt (Michael Gross) in South Africa hunting graboids along with his new cameraman. [Spoiler]The cameraman turned out to be Burts’ son, played by Jamie Kennedy. You might have thought that would he been the end of it, but you would be wrong. Today, on Facebook Gross announced that ‘Tremors VI’ is on the way. Not many details were revealed but he did say that he, Kennedy and director Don Michael Paul will be returning for the sequel. There is no word yet if any of the other previous ‘Tremors’ stars will return for the sequel. Odds are, Kevin Bacon won’t make a cameo. He has his own ‘Tremors’ project in the works, ‘Tremors: The Series‘. Bacon will be returning to his roles as Valentine “Val” McKee, one half of the duo who fought the giant critters in the original 1990 cult classic. He will also be serving
