Pet Sematary Documentary ‘Unearthed & Untold’ Arrives On Digital HD

We have been following the development of John Campiano and Justin White’s horror documentary ‘Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary‘ for a while now. The Documentary features interviews with Director Mary Lambert and the entire cast; including Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Miko Hughes, Brad Greenquist, Susan Blommaert, the Berdahl Twins and many more. The film also features never-before-seen footage from the sets in Maine, interviews with key crew, the town’s people and will be packed full of bonus features, including a fan appreciation sizzle reel, a personal interview with the documentary filmmakers and much, much more.

Brown had joined the cast alongside Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, and Boyd Holbrook. THR is reporting that Thomas Jane is in final negotiations to join the fight. Jane is far from a new-comer to the genre. Recently, Jane faced a possessed boy in ‘Incarnate‘. He’s been up against nightmares come to life in ‘Before I Wake‘, giant monsters in ‘The Mist’, survived genetically altered sharks in ‘Deep Blue Sea’, and kicked ass as ‘Punisher’. Shane Black is in the director’s chair for ‘The Predator’ which is being described as both a sequel to the original and a reboot.

Creator Shares New Details On American Horror Story’s Crossover Season

Recently we reported that the hit series ‘American Horror Story’ has been renewed for not one, but 2 more seasons, guaranteeing that we will be seeing new episodes through 2019. The series’ creator, Ryan Murphy, has revealed back in October that we will be getting a crossover season. During a recent interview with EW Murphy went into more detail about the future season which will take place in either season 8 or 9. It’s a character from season 1 that will be thrust into the world that you are left with at the end of Coven, which is sort of like the male/female/witch academy. And then all of those characters will intertwine, which is confusing because some of them are from seasons 1 and 3. Like, Sarah Paulson will probably be playing 18 characters. At the moment we still don’t the theme of season 7, but we do know that ‘AHS’ regulars Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will co-star. We
