Tremors VI Has Begun Filming

We reported earlier in January that ‘Tremors VI’ was set to begin filming. It has now begun. Earlier today Michael Gross, who stars as graboid hunter/gun enthusiast Burt Gummer, shaved his head and trimmed his mustache, a tradition he has performed before each of the ‘Tremors’ movies filmed its first scene. Jamie Kennedy, who co-starred as Burt’s son in ‘Tremors V: Blood Lines’, will be returning along with director Don Michael Paul for ‘Tremors VI’ which will be filming in Cape Town, South Africa. So far, only two other cast members have officially been announced, Tanya van Graan (Death Race: Inferno) and Greg Kriek (Blood and Glory). One interesting thing about the movie is that while Kevin Bacon starred in the original film and will be headlining the ‘Tremors’ television series, he will not be appearing in ‘Tremors VI’. Hopefully the plot will be announced soon. We will keep you posted as more details are revealed.

Robert Englund Is Returning As Freddy Krueger In New Documentary

Robert Englund is sliding on his glove and sitting down in the makeup chair one last time as Freddy Krueger in the documentary ‘Nightmares in the Makeup Chair’. Back in 2014, Englund brought Freddy out of retirement and appeared in full wardrobe and makeup to treat fans to a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Chicago’s Flashback Weekend. Directed by Mike Kerz, the upcoming documentary goes behind the scenes at Flashback Weekend. We will see Englund in the makeup chair, sharing stories while FX master Robert Kurtzman transforms Englund into our favorite dream-stalking killer. It will “take fans on an exciting, fun, and emotional journey through Englund’s years as Freddy Krueger with stories and anecdotes, all while paying tribute to the legacy of Wes Craven.” I was inspired by the vintage photos of the legendary artist Jack Pierce applying the Frankenstein makeup to Boris Karloff. Sadly, those sessions were never documented on film.” Kerz explains. ” That is why we created our documentary
