John Carpenter Skipped A Few Of Those Terrible “Halloween” Sequels

Out of the 10 films in the Halloween franchise, one’s a master piece, two are good, one (Season of the Witch) is an underrated outlier, and 6 are pretty much crap. There’s a lot of convoluted and pretty terrible mythology, turning Michael Myers, one of horror’s most terrifying human monsters into a muddled mess of Shatner masks and kitchen knives. Full disclosure, I haven’t seen every Halloween film. But hey, neither has John Carpenter! But with the newest entry, Carpenter hopes to bring the 40 year old franchise back to its roots. In an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Carpenter admitted he had skipped a few entries of the franchise he founded stating “You know, you know I talked about the Halloweens for a long time, the sequels — I haven’t even seen all of them. I don’t even know what really was there.” Carpenter has only had sporadic involvement in the film world the past few years, last releasing poorly

Stephen Lang Confirms “Don’t Breathe” Sequel Is Still Happening

In this cinematic landscape where entire franchises are outlined before their first film releases, the mere announcement of a sequel is far from a guarantee that sequel will be made. Stephen Lang, however, is pretty damn confident a second Don’t Breathe film is coming. In an interview with Screen Rant, Lang was about as clear as possible stating, “Oh yeah, we’re doing a sequel.” Well damn, that sure was easy. Lang played the old blind man in Don’t Breathe to genuine, terrifying perfection in what was one of 2016’s best horror films (which also include 2016’s grossest use of a turkey baster). This won’t just be a second helping of the same old stuff either, if producer Sam Raimi is telling the truth, stating way back in November of 2016 “It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding.” We haven’t actually seen any plot details for Don’t Breathe 2 but the first film did

Horror Short Of The Week: “Fist Of Jesus”

Welcome to Horror Fuel’s Horror Short of the Week, where we take a look at the best scary shorts you can watch for free online. This week we present Fist of Jesus! The Jesus of Nazareth featured in the Hebrew Bible was always a rather passive fellow. Sure, there was the odd temple courtyard whip attack, and a table upturning or two, but old J.C. was generally a pretty chill dude. So for us heretics and sinners looking for a cooler kind of savior, Fist of Jesus portrays the Son of Man as the kind of Lord worth worshiping; a zombie slaying, sandal wearing, sword-fish wielding badass. After a disastrous attempt to waken the deceased where he succeeds just a little to well, it’s up to Jesus send the undead masses back to the hell he rose them from. Accompanied only by the cowardly judas, a whole lot of fish, and some of the most impressive practical effects this side

New “Friday the 13th: The Game” Update Makes Jason Even Deadlier

There were a lot of complaints that Jason Vorhee’s was too powerful when Friday the 13th: The Game first came out. He could teleport, throw knives, and chase down teenagers at inhuman speeds. But as people got better at the game, Jason gradually lost his edge. A team of eight good counselors can absolutely dominate Jason, whooping his ass in ways the big momma’s boy would never be beat in the movies. The good people at Gun Media have felt us gamers pains though, addressing the problem in a post on Reddit. “We’ve seen your reports; our Jason characters aren’t scary. We’ve seen the videos of counselors running circles around Jason and smacking him upside the head, repeatedly, while he quietly resigns himself to his fate. We’ve even seen videos of Jason being forced to run away while being chased by 4 Chads with baseball bats. That’s not cool, and Chad is a dick. As such, we will be implementing

Trailer for ‘The Cured’ Seems Familiar…

Warning: Potential spoilers ahead! I’m a fan of zombies, I’m a fan of movies, so, therefore, I’m a fan of (a good) zombie movie. When I heard about a new movie starring Ellen Page coming out called The Cured about zombies that were cured and trying to re-enter society, I thought, “Oh they made In the Flesh into a movie?” but after seeing the trailer and reading what critics are saying, I’ll be honest I was shocked. Many are hailing the upcoming Irish film as “original” and “unique” but what I saw is a copy of an original. Over time many zombie films have had little moments where zombies act human again or show signs that they remember a small part of themselves, granted usually for dramatic effect before they are killed right before the eyes of a past loved one. In 2013 there was Warm Bodies, a horror rom-com about a zombie falling in love with a human girl
