I’ll be honest, I’d love to see either. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the 2013 remake was written and directed by Fede Alvarez. Sam Raimi, who directed the original, produced the

New App SLASHER Is Taking A Stab At Horror

There’s a new horror app on the horizon, SLASHER and it has set out to connect the community with everything they love about horror, news, reviews, the community and much more.
