‘Boar’ Film Poster Released

Since living in Australia, I have seen arachnids that Frodo certainly couldn’t escape from, bats that would make Batman sweat, kangaroos that could knock out Tyson, heat that has melted my shoes, and a variety of other things that are nightmare-causing. Now, just in case Australia needed one more thing that could kill you, there is a giant, rampaging boar! Chris Sun presents the first image and poster for his upcoming film, ‘Boar’ which is set in Australian’s nearly uninhabitable outback. Starring John Jarrat and Bill Moseley, the trailer is yet to be released but the images have my curiosity piqued! “Lurking within this picturesque setting is a dark and terrifying threat – a beast of staggering size with an uncontrollable desire for blood and destruction. Driven by its insatiable appetite for carnage, it defends its territory with brutal force and savagely takes on any who get in its way.” Keep a close eye on horrorfuel.com for all your horror

Jackson Stewart, the writer of 2016’s Beyond the Gates is now working on the script for the sequel, titled The Day After Halloween, with co-writer Stephen Scarlata, EW reports. First revealed to Shock Waves, Stewart had this to say: “It’s basically what happens to the ‘final girl’ after the end of a slasher movie. It moves into a kind of weird metaphysical direction that I don’t think people would really expect from this type of movie, but it should be fun.” The Day After Halloween centers on “Alice Caldwell, the sole survivor of a Halloween night massacre, who soon finds herself under intense scrutiny from the local media. As she struggles with the traumatic aftermath, a mysterious presence begins brutally murdering anyone who’s wronged her.” Beyond the Gates was a surprise indie hit amongst genre fans.

‘Happy Death Day’ Getting A Sequel

Last year’s Happy Death Day was hit with genre fans bringing in $100 million at box offices with a $4.8 million budget, so it’s no surprise that there’s a sequel in the works. Star Jessica Rothe has hinted that there may be a Back to the Future style feel to the sequel. The sequel, the way he described it to me, elevates the movie from being a horror movie – and I wouldn’t even say it’s just a horror movie because it’s a horror, comedy, rom-com drama – into a Back to the Future type of genre film where the sequel joins us right from where we left off, it explains a lot of things in the first one that didn’t get explained, and it elevates everything,” Rothe told Collider. “I was really pleased to know that we weren’t just gonna be pushing all the buttons that people loved the first time, over and over again, ‘cause I think that
