The Beaster Bunny Is Hopping Your Way…And He’s Hungry

One of the things I love most about holidays isn’t the food or the decorations, it’s the holiday themed horror films. Sure, there are a ton of Christmas and Halloween films, but Easter usually gets overlooked in the genre. This year, there’s a new film hopping our way, The Beaster Bunny, formally known as Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottenhell. And it has a brand new trailer. Written and directed by the Snygg Brothers and starring Jon Arthur, Kristina Beaudouin, Valerie Bittner, Darian Caine, Tom Cikoski, and Marisol Custodio, The Beaster Bunny, takes that so bad it’s good experience to a whole new level. In the film, a 50-foot man-eating Easter bunny is on the loose and the townsfolk don’t stand a hop in hell. As the bloodthirsty, floopy-eared killer leaves a trail of dismembered corpses, the town’s only chance of survival rests with a wannabe actress and a crazy dog-catcher. God help them! The Beaster Bunny arrived in the

Scott Gimple Reveals How Many More Seasons Of The Walking Dead Are Still To Come

With The Walking Dead’s season 7 finale approaching, you may be asking yourself how much longer will the series run? Well, we can answer that. Scott Gimple, the hit series’ showrunner, recently appeared at Paleyfest in Los Angeles. While speaking to the crowd about the show’s success, he had this to say about how long the show will run: We are trying to do twenty years. The comic has certainly done it, and I look forward to every issue.” He went on, “The Simpsons has been on 26, 27 years, so that’s a challenge – so ok, challenge accepted. Done.” 20 years is a long time. Can they truly keep up interest that long? Let’s face it, with fewer people alive and walkers rotting, the number of walkers will dwindle.

After years of talk and rumor we can now tell you that The Strangers II is finally beginning production. At a recent screening of The Blackcoat’s Daughter the good folks over at Dread Central caught up with Brian Bertino. While talking with Bertino, they asked about the long awaited sequel to Bertino’s 2008 home invasion hit The Strangers. Come to find out, the project is a go and is set to begin filming this summer. As for the reason for the long delay, Bertino lays the blame at the feet of Relativity Media and has stated that the wait was due to issues with the rights, which Relativity owned until recently. I’m thrilled that is seems like finally now people are behind the movie that are interested in making it. I was thrilled to see it out of Relativity’s hands and into a group of producers’ hands that are actually excited about making it. It’s very crazy to think that
