CULT OF CHUCKY Will Be The Goriest Film Of The Entire Franchise

Since the moment Cult of Chucky was announced back in January, we’ve been excited. I mean come on, who doesn’t love Chucky? The first image arrived later that month. And Back in February, returning actor Alex Vincent announced that filming had wrapped. Now, franchise creator, writer and director Don Mancini revealed at this weekend’s Monsterpalooza’s Cult of Chucky panel that the sequel will be the “goriest of all the movies”. That says a lot considering the level of gore in Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. Remember when John Waters had his face melted off? The cast added even more tidbits during the panel. Actress Jennifer Tilly added during the panel that now the studio is considering a theatrical release. And Dourif revealed that the film was torture for her character. In the film, confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered

Syfy Announces Premiere Date For New Apocalyptic High-Octane Series BLOOD DRIVE

The Syfy channel has just announced the summer premiere date for their new high-octane, blood-fueled series Blood Drive. Set in a near-dystopian future, the show centers on a former cop, who is forced to take part in a death race in which cars run on human blood. The cast includes Alan Ritchson, Christina Ochoa, Thomas Dominique, Marama Corlett, Colin Cunningham, Darren Kent, Andrew Morgado, Sean Cameron Michael, Carel Nel, Brandon Auret, Aiden Whytock, and Andrew Hall. “In the tradition of classic grindhouse movies, BLOOD DRIVE is a new series soaked in high-octane chaos and just barely approved for television. After Los Angeles’ last good cop (Alan Ritchson) is forced to join a twisted cross-country death race, his only hope of survival is a dangerous femme fatale who has the need for speed (Christina Ochoa). Oh, and forget gasoline… these cars run on human blood!” Creator James Roland (Weeds) is serving as co-executive producer along with John Hlavin (Underworld: Awakening), David

Trailer Teases A New Addams Family Series Coming To Netflix, But Is It Real?

For the past few days, a video has been making its rounds leading fans to believe that there is a new Addams Family series coming to Netflix. While we wish it were true, it’s not, at least in this case. While it is possible that Netflix may someday bring the Addams family back, the video has nothing to do with one. For hardcore horror films the video, posted on alexiabertha’s YouTube channel, is clearly fake, seeing that it is made up of clips from films and series, like Crimson Peak and Penny Dreadful. If the day comes when Netflix announces an Addams Family series or film, we will let you know.

The Soska Sisters Give Insight Into Their Remake Of Rabid

Back in February of last year we reported that the Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia, will be directing the remake of David Cronenberg’s 1977 film Rabid. There hasn’t been any news since, until now. The writing-directing sister team, also known as the “Twisted Twins”, let a lit info slip about their approach to the making the film while talking to The Horror Channel. We are very honored to have been the team chosen to take on the remake of Cronenberg’s Rabid. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of remakes but that’s if they don’t have anything new to bring to the story. We have a unique perspective just because of who we are to tell the story from Rose’s eyes as well as make a commentary on the increasingly rabid world that we live in. Also, we’ve been dying to get back into body horror. Ten years into David’s filmmaking career, he remade The Fly and it brought him to

A New Film Is In The Works For THE PURGE Franchise

We recently reported that The Purge franchise is being developed into a television series. Today, we have more news on the film franchise. Have you ever wondered how The Purge began? The fourth film of the franchise will answer that. That’s right, we are getting a Purge prequel. We are going back to the very beginning to learn how the deadly, lawless night began. Franchise creator James DeMonaco had this to say about the prequel: I would actually go back and I would try to talk about how it all started. That seems the natural next chapter in this, is to say, ‘Alright, we’ve done this trilogy. We see how it got to this point of someone trying to end it – this presidential figure. Now let’s go back and see how the fuck all this came about.’ How did this country get to a place where we were now accepting this kind of atrocity, this terrible thing, each year?
