Geena Davis Hopes To Join Beetlejuice 2

Geena Davis, the actress who played the role of the newly-departed Barbra in ‘Beetlejuice’, told ETonline that she would love to return for the upcoming sequel Beetlejuice 2. “I did hear that it’s really happening.” Davis continued “No one’s talked to me about it. I would love to! That was one of my favorite movies, too.” Davis did bring up one problem that could keep her character and her character’s husband, played by Alec Baldwin, from reprising their rules. “Ghosts probably don’t age, and it’s going to be 30 years now. Of course, I haven’t aged, but I think Alec Baldwin maybe has ages, perhaps,” she joked. Winona Ryder confirmed last month that a sequel is indeed in the works. Tim Burton, Ryder and Michael Keaton, Beetlejuice himself, have already signed up to return for the project. “It’s Showtime!”

We’re Returning To ‘The Cabin In The Woods’ For A Sequel

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ has been hailed as one of the most important horror films of the past decade. At the end it appeared the world was coming to an end, or was it? Lionsgate has now approached the original film’s director, Drew Goddard, about doing a sequel. I’m not sure exactly how they would pull it off, but I would be happy to watch it. In an interview with Den of Geek, Goddard revealed part of his discussion with the studio about doing a sequel. “The studio has approached me and they want to do a sequel, funny part is, I don’t think we planned that movie to do a sequel, you know? But that being said, the fun thing about Cabin is, that rules are pretty crazy. We get away with a lot of stuff,” Goddard continued “So, I’me sure we could figure it out if we got inspired to. I know Joss and I both feel

Calendula – A Game That Doesn’t Want You To Play It

Alright, I can understand if that’s hard to grasp, but it’s exactly what it sounds like. Developed by Blooming Buds studios, Calendula is a horror puzzle game purposefully wrought with bugs and glitches to challenge you along the way. I’m not entirely sure what the end goal is, but this game is surrounded in so much mystery before it’s even released that I’m sure it will be a new experience for gamers of all shapes and sizes. Heck, even the main game page is built in a somewhat jarring manner, and the trailer shows just exactly what your in for without spoiling anything major – so basically exactly what a game trailer should be. While the homepage for the game claims it’s on Steam Greenlight, a quick search on Steam finds no record of the game. Is this because it truly doesn’t exist? Or is this all part of their viral marketing scheme – because being a game that doesn’t
