A24, the same studio who brought us ‘The Witch’, has unveiled the first mysterious teaser trailer for Trey Edward Shults’ ‘It Comes at Night’. Joel Edgerton plays as a man who learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within.

Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul. Edgerton stars alongside Riley Keough, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbot, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. in ‘It Comes At Night’ set to be released on August 25th.

I spent this past weekend (Feb 3- 5) at the Days of the Dead convention in Atlanta. This is the second DOTD I have attended in the past few years and once again, it did not disappoint. First, I would like to tell you about my favorite part of the convention. No, it’s not the parties, or the other events, it is the people. To say that horror fans are the best would be an understatement. You will not find a friendlier group of people. Stand by a booth, in a line, by an elevator, or outside smoking and in with seconds there is a conversation happening. It is nothing to be asked “How far did you traveled?”, “Are you having fun?”, “Did you see….?”. As for the celebs, every single celebrity I talked to was pleasant. Some were as excited about the convention as I was. No joke, Derek Mears, who has played Jason, the Predator, and more, was

NBC/Universal’s new series ‘Midnight, Texas’ will soon be premiering. The supernatural series has now added ‘Friday the 13th’ actor Derek Mears to its already impressive cast. Mears is known for his roles in ‘Friday the 13th (2009), Predators (2010), Hatchet, as Stavarin in ‘Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead’, and many more. While his character is still unlisted on IMDb, I have it from a reliable source (Mears told me himself) that he will appear in at least one episode. ‘Midnight, Texas’, an adaption of Charlaine Harris’ novels, is closely tied to ‘True Blood’. There is even a good chance that the two series will have a cross-over at some point. Vampires, witches, werewolves and the supernatural will be central to the story of the new show. While it looks normal from the outside, Midnight is a safe haven for all supernatural beings, as well as humans, fortune tellers and other outcasts. In the town your neighbor could be a
