The Witch’s Black Philip Makes His Second Appearance In A Horror Film

There’s a rising star in the genre, but he’s not human. For those of you who saw 2015’s amazing film The Witch, you know who Black Philip is. The creepy, horned black goat was much more than he appeared. It turns out that The Witch was just his debut. The 200-pound goat, whose real name is Charlie, has now starred in his second horror film, the highly anticipated film It Comes At Night (review), from director Trey Edward Shults which is now in theaters. Both films were released by A24. Coincidence? In an interview with MIC stars of It Comes at Night, Christopher Abbot and Riley Keough, admitted that the goat in the film is indeed Charlie. It was literally the same goat,” Abbot said. “He or she wasn’t as featured in our movie, but [it was the] same goat actor. It must just be A24’s goat. It’s in the mailing room, too. That’s a fun little fact. People are

The Crooked Man Is Coming – Film Greenlit By New Line Cinema

“There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.” As a kid you may have heard the nursery rhyme about the Crooked Man. The rhyme was made frightening in The Conjuring 2 when the entity came to life. The fact that the Crooked Man was NOT CG is even more incredible (you can find out more here). Javier Botet’s portrayal of the long-limbed entity, with a grin made of pointed teeth, was absolutely terrifying. Back in May we reported that the latest spin-off of The Conjuring franchise, based on the Crooked Man, was in the works. Now, we can tell that the film has officially gotten the go-ahead for production to begin, THR says. New Line Cinema has tapped Mike Van Waes to pen the screenplay, based on James
