Evan Peters Took A Beating In The First Images From Season 7 Of ‘American Horror Story’

The seventh season of American Horror Story is approaching. While we already know that this season is inspired by the 2016 presidential election, we don’t know the exact details. Several cast members will be returning including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Adina Porter, and Cheyenne Jackson. New actors and actress that have already been announced includes Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman, and Billie Lourd. More of both returning and new cast should be announced soon. Evan Peters has appeared in every season to date. Though is character for season 7 has not been revealed, we do have our first look at Peters thanks to the folks over at JustJared and he looks like he took a beating. While filming on the steps of a courthouse Peters was seen with long blue hair in a “man bun”, a bruised face and an arm in a sling. We also get a glimpse of Porter who appeared in American Horror Story: Roanoke.

Another Spin-Off For The Conjuring 2 ?

The Conjuring is headed towards being the franchise with the most spin-offs in history. There is possibly another spin-off on its way. And no, I’m not talking about Annabelle 2: Creation or The Nun. Annabelle: Creation producer Peter Safran said something very interesting while talking with JoBlo recently. He said that it is a possibility that the “Crooked Man” from The Conjuring 2 may get a film of his own. “…I suspect a movie with him would be really really cool.” He continued, “…we have some interesting ideas for him. So we’ll see.” The creepy long-legged entity, played by Javier Botet, was not CGI like many thought. That was just Botet in a skin tight suit. Safran explains, “None of it was CG. It was 100% practical. That actor just looks like that, we created an amazing wardrobe for him. Skin tight latex-basically suit.” I could definitely see a whole film based on the character, he is creepy as hell.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: P.J. Soles

So my Little Monsters, today we say goodbye to the month of May. BUT, being that it’s also Wednesday, it means we also say hello to another wonderful Woman of Horror. This week’s liebenswerte Frau (that’s lovely lady to you and me, Rusty), is the incredibly sweet and talented P.J. Soles. Pamela Jayne was born in Frankfurt, Germany to Nancy and Cornelis Hardon. P.J. and her parents were quite the globetrotters as she was growing up. No, not the Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal kind of Globetrotters. Her father worked for an international insurance corporation, so his career path took them all around the world. As P.J. was growing up, P.J. and her family lived in Morocco, Venezuela and Brussels, where she attended high school at the International School of Brussels. After high school, she attended Briarcliff College in Briarcliff Manor, NY, where she had aspirations of becoming the very first woman ambassador to the Soviet Union. However, after visiting

‘Z Nation’ Releases Prequel Comic – A Review Of Volume 1

Horror comics are the best aren’t they? We could definitely use more of them. If you feel the same way, we’ve got good news. Syfy’s hit zombie series Z Nation, from The Asylum, has a brand new six-part comic, titled Z Nation: Black Summer, that serves as a prequel for the show. I had the pleasure of checking out the first volume and I was not disappointed. Z Nation co-creator Craig Engler and Fred Van Lente serve as writers for the comic with fantastic art by Edu Menna and colors by Sal Aiala. Simon Bowland did the letters, and Joseph Rybandt edited with the assistance of Kevin Kitner. The volume opens with images from around the world of society as it falls to a mass epidemic that has turned much of the human race into flesh-eating zombies. Due to famine and livestock being infected by the virus, food is scarce. A group of soldiers are sent on an important mission:

M. Night Shyamalan Gives An Update On ‘Glass’ The Sequel To ‘Split’

After a string of disappointments, M. Night Shyamalan finally found success again with his 2016 psychological thriller Split. Now, Shyamalan is moving forward with Glass, the sequel to both Split and his 2000 film Unbreakable. In a recent Twitter post from Shyamalan, he gave an update stating that the script is finished and he is making his third draft in an attempt to make it the best it can possibly be before the sequel begins filming. Finished the 2nd draft of #Glass on Friday. Took 5 weeks. Started the 3rd pass today…gave myself a 3 week deadline for this pass.” So, how are Split and Unbreakable linked?

Production Begins On Season 2 Of ‘Stan Against Evil’

IFC’s supernatural series Stan Against Evil premiered last November and was an instant hit among genre fans, including us here at Horror Fuel. In fact, it made it onto our Top 10 Horror Shows Of 2016 list. Back in December we were happy to report that IFC had renewed the series for its second season. Now, news has come that production has officially begun in Atlanta, Ga for the new season and we can’t wait to see what happens next. The first season follows Stanley Miller (John C. McGinley), a sour, aging bulldog of a New England police sheriff who has recently lost his position as head honcho due to an angry outburst at a most inappropriate moment — his wife’s funeral. Impatient and judgmental, he’s not exactly accepting or kind towards people from different walks of life. When the new, strong-willed sheriff Evie Barret (Janet Varney) opens his eyes to the plague of angry demons haunting their small New

Aliens Have Taken Over Earth In The First Trailer For Neill Blomkamp Short Film Series

It seems that we will never see Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5. The good news is, the director announced back in April that he and his Banner, Oats Studios, would be releasing a series of experimental short films via Stream. Now, the trailer for Volume 1 is here and it is fantastic. In the trailer we see our world taken over by aliens and humanity fighting for survival. The new reality is adapt or die. If you watch closely, you will even get a quick glimpse of Sigourney Weaver, that’s right, Ripley herself. There is no word as to when the shorts will premiere, but you are not going to want to miss them, especially if you’re a fan of Blomkamp, Weaver, the Alien franchise, and sci-fi.

An Interview With Marko Mäkilaakso Director Of The Upcoming Film ‘It Came From The Desert’

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marko Mäkilaakso, the director and co-writer of the upcoming giant bug movie It Came From the Desert. Co-written by Trent Haaga, the film stars Mark Arnold, Claudia Trujillo, Vanessa Grasse, Harry Smith, and James Alper. Mäkilaakso also directed the 2011 zombie movie War of the Dead and Deadly Descent: The Abominable Snowman. Currently, he has two other films in development, Viking: Rise of the Warrior and Blowback. Horror Fuel: “What inspired you to adapt It Came From the Dessert from the 1989 game?” Mäkilaakso: “I actually wanted to make a motocross-action-comedy set in a desert with big spiders and 80’s vibe. That’s how it all started! The idea was inspired by “Eight legged freaks” and Cinemaware’s classic ”It came from the desert” game. I presented this concept to the producers in Berlin Film Festival few years ago adding that I wanted to call the movie ”It Came From The Desert”, because I loved the
