We Want You…To Watch These 8 Patriotic Horror Films On The 4th Of July

Jaws (1975) Set over the July 4th weekend, Jaws centers on a battle between a giant shark and three men out to catch it before it kills again. The Shining (1980) While most of the film has nothing to do with the 4th of July, there is one scene that ties it to the holiday. If you look closely at the picture that shows Jack Nicholson’s image in a crowded photo you will see that the picture is labeled as being taken at a 4th of July celebration which is enough to land the classic on this list. Final Destination 3 (2006) When one student’s premonition of a roller coaster disaster saves her and her friends’ lives death tries to put things right. After several friends are claimed by death the survivors run into each other at a 4th of July celebration where all hell breaks loose. The third installment of the franchise is filled with great kills. Uncle Sam

‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ Reboot Still Alive

Back in 2015 we reported that a new Nightmare on Elm Street reboot was in the works. Last August we confirmed that David Leslie Johnson (Orphan, The Conjuring 2) will be penning the script. After that, very little was mentioned about the reboot, until now. When news came that Johnson will writing The Conjuring 3, fans and new sites took to IMDb to learn that Johnson is still attached to the film and that the plot had been “leaked”, or so they were supposed to believe. The reality is that anyone can edit IMDb. The plot is 100% fake, thankfully. It’s a terrible plot. One thing we do know is that sadly, it’s not likely that we will see Robert Englund reprise his role as Freddy. It just won’t be the same without Englund. The faux plot: “When Brandon Higgins begins to appear in other people’s dreams at will, he has no idea that he is the illegitimate son of

AMC Is Going Commercial Free

One of the biggest annoyances is having your favorite series interrupted by commercials and a lot of them. A few months ago Hulu started giving subscribes the options to go commercial free (for a fee of course). Now, you will soon be able to watch The Walking Dead, and any other series on AMC, commercial free. Comcast customers will be able to access AMC Premiere for only $5 extra a month. Not only will customers be able to avoid the commercials, they will be able to watch exclusive content and movies to make the deal even sweeter. It really is a fantastic idea. I only see one problem, when other networks take the same route, and they will eventually, fees will start to pile up. There is also the issue that not all AMC viewers have Comcast. Will you go commercial free with AMC Premiere? Let us know.

‘Johnny Gruesome’ Is Back From The Dead To Raise A Little Hell In The First Trailer For the Film

In May I sat down for an interview with Greg Lamberson about his upcoming film Johnny Gruesome. Now, the first trailer has just arrived for this undead revenge film and we have it here to share with you. Anthony De La Torre, who played the role of young Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, stars as Johnny. Byron Brown II, Aprilann, and Michael DeLorenzo co-star. When I asked Lamberson to describe the film this is what he had to say: Johnny Gruesome is the story of a murdered high school student, sort of a heavy metal rebel. The kids who kill him cover it up, like they often do, and he comes back from the grave as a wise-cracking zombie. It’s a very typical EC Comics type of revenge from the grave story. It was always planned as B movie and that’s exactly what it is.” From the Press Release: Red Hell Movies LLC,

From The Set Of ‘Stan Against Evil’ – A Glimpse At Season 2

The second season of IFC’s fantastic horror series Stan Against Evil is currently filming in Georgia. A few days ago, we had the pleasure of spending a few hours on the set. We not only got to meet several of the incredibly talented actors, but also Dana Gould the show’s creator, who is absolutely hilarious, Robert Cohen who directed four of the eight episodes from season 2, and several members of the special effects team. We also had the honor of exploring the set and watching an episode being filmed. When we first arrived we entered a large black tent with hoses pumping cold air into the structure. Upon entering we were instantly confronted by a a figure covered in a white sheet which was later revealed to be the Wraith from the first season. We shuffled into our chairs and soon Dana Gould and director Robert Cohen appeared. Gould automatically cracked a joke and the room erupted in laughter.
